<br />311-1 <br /> <br />REPORT <br /> <br /> <br />To the Honorable Mi¡Clr'a" <br />From,tfie s <br /> <br /> <br />April 10, 2000 <br /> <br />Subject <br />Resolution Authorizing an Agreement and Execution of a Contract for Professional <br />Services with Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Approve the Resolution. <br /> <br />Background <br />Hunter/Storm Properties is proposing to construct a five-story office/research and <br />development building to be located at 500 Arguello Street. The building would be five <br />stories high with a total square footage of approximately 94,177 square feet. Given the <br />nature of this proposed project, it will be subject to review and require preparation of an <br />Environmental Assessment/Negative Declaration under the requirements of the <br />California Environmental Quality Act (CECA). A substantial part of this review will <br />include a Traffic Impact Study to determine the potential traffic impacts the project will <br />have on surrounding streets and intersections. This traffic study will be an important <br />part of the environmental assessment/negative declaration to be written by staff and <br />reviewed by the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Five different traffic consultants were contacted requesting proposals to prepare the <br />traffic study. Four of .them submitted bids to prepare the study. The estimated bids <br />were as follows: <br /> <br />. Parsons Transportation Group, $22,800 <br />. DKS Associates, $16,620 <br />. Fehr & Peers, $15,700 <br />. Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc. $16,550 <br /> <br />Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc. was the lowest bid. Following review of the work <br />program, staff requested some additional tasks to be included which added an <br />additional $750 for a total estimate of $16,450.1 Although Hexagon and DKS submitted <br />bids in roughly the same price range as Fehr & Peers, it was felt that Fehr & Peers work <br />program was sufficient, and the firm has had recent experience preparing Traffic Impact <br />Studies for other projects in Redwood City. A copy of the proposed work program by <br />Fehr & Peers, including additional tasks is attached. <br /> <br />1 The final estimate as stated in the Agreement is for a total of $18,200. This includes the 10% additional <br />cost for staff time. <br /> <br />. ._.._.._......._._.._--_.~-_.__..- . <br />
