BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its November 1, 2000, meeting, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with the civil engineering firm, Mark Thomas & Co., Inc., to provide preliminary engineering, environmental documentation, and design work for the Kettleman Lane Widening Project. Staff negotiated the original contract based on other highway improvement projects. However, since Federal funds will be used for right-of-way and construction on a State highway, staff has requested the consultant expand the scope of work to cover additional State and Federal mandated work. As described in the work order, to meet Caltrans' requirements, the scope of the Project Study Report (PSR) was expanded, and the Project Report (PR) and Geometric Approval Drawings (GAD) documents were added. The consultants have and will attend monthly Project Development Team (PDT) meetings with Caltrans and City staff. In addition, the consultant will prepare right-of-way documents for two roadway acquisitions, seven Public Utility Easements (PUE's), eight Temporary Construction Easements (TCE's), and oversee the right-of-way subconsultant in the implementation of appraisals and acquisition negotiations. The right-of-way work includes acquisition services, relocation assistance services, and condemnation support. Some of the right-of-way work included may not be required. The work order services will be provided on a time -and -materials basis, not to exceed $121,217. Staff and the consultant team will host a second public meeting on February 28, 2002. The meeting will give the community an opportunity to view preliminary design plans as well as the proposed landscaping theme. Following the public meeting, staff and the consultant team will present the project to City Council at a Shirtsleeve Session. It is anticipated the design will be completed by this fall, at which time staff will return to Council for approval of the plans and specifications and for authorization to advertise for bids. To expedite the project, staff also recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute other work orders as needed.
