As part of the budget-setting process, the City Council identified completion of a <br />citywide transportation plan as a priority for Fiscal Year 2016/17. On July 21, 2016, the <br />City distributed a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to consultants to develop a citywide <br />transportation plan. As outlined in the RFQ, the City is developing a citywide <br />transportation plan to improve the quality of life for our residents and the health and <br />sustainability of our community through improved connections between where people <br />live, work, and play. <br /> <br />The overarching goals of the planning effort are to: <br /> <br />1. Assess the existing conditions of the transportation system; <br />2. Improve engagement and communication with the community around <br />transportation issues; and <br />3. Develop a detailed implementation plan to monitor and guide transportation <br />investments <br /> <br />The RFQ was sent by email to nineteen transportation consulting firms and it was <br />posted on the City’s website. A pre-bid meeting on July 26th was attended by six firms. <br />The City received three statements of qualifications on August 15th. A staff-based <br />review board ultimately decided to interview all three consultant teams. The three <br />consultant teams were interviewed by the review board on September 1st. <br /> <br />Each statement of qualifications was evaluated according to the criteria listed in the <br />RFQ – qualifications of the firm and proposed staff, relevant experience, success in <br />conducting public outreach that maximizes community participation, experience using <br />innovative approaches to managing growth and mobility, and communication skills. <br /> <br />Following the interviews and the checking of references, the review board identified <br />Fehr & Peers as the top-ranked consultant. The purpose of this report is to summarize <br />the content of the proposed scope of work, and request that the public and Council <br />provide input. The detailed scope of work is attached to this report. Based on this input, <br />a revised scope of work and consultant contract will be presented to the Council for <br />review and approval (tentatively scheduled for November 7, 2016). <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br /> <br />Proposed Scope of Work <br />After meeting with City staff to discuss the project in more detail, Fehr & Peers <br />developed a proposed scope of work (attached). The primary tasks are outlined below <br />with a brief description of each task. The attached scope of work goes into far greater <br />detail. <br /> <br />· Project Management: Includes actively monitoring the project scope, schedule, <br />and budget; coordination with the city’s project manager and project subconsultants; <br />and quality assurance and quality control. <br /> <br />6.1.B. - Page 5
