6.D. - Page 2 of 27 In 2017, the City submitted an application for the San Mateo County Measure A Pedestrian and Bicycle Program funds and received $375,000 for the Jefferson/Cleveland Intersection Improvement Project, which would consist of pedestrian crossing enhancements, installation of a traffic control device such as pedestrian hybrid beacon, and intersection geometry changes to reduce the turning and passing vehicle speeds. In 2009, the City installed a pedestrian flashing beacon at the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Clinton Street, approximately 500 -feet to the east of the Jefferson/Cleveland intersection. However, collision reports from January 2014 to December 2018 show a total of 17 collisions at Jefferson/Clinton intersection, of which five were vehicle/pedestrian collisions and one was a vehicle/bicycle collision. As part of this contract, the City also plans to conduct a yield study at the Jefferson/Clinton intersection to evaluate driver and pedestrian behavior and the effectiveness of the existing pedestrian beacon. If the outcome of the yield study indicates that the current traffic control device should be replaced with a different device, the City will incorporate those changes into the project. ANALYSIS In January 2019, the City published a request for proposals (RFP) for the project. The City received one proposal from Alta Planning + Design, Inc. Staff used five criteria to evaluate the proposal, including, responsiveness to the RFP, project management plan, firm's experience in similar projects, qualifications of the project team, and project understanding and innovative approach. Based on the evaluation of the proposal, staff recommends Alta Planning + Design, Inc. as a qualified firm to complete the planning, design, and construction engineering support for the project. The scope of work includes field and exiting conditions review, traffic counts and traffic operation analysis, development of improvement alternatives, community outreach, topographic survey, preparation of 65%, 90%, and 100% plans and specifications, and construction engineering support. Community outreach includes an in- person workshop and presentation to the Complete Streets Advisory Committee to solicit feedback on community's preferred improvement alternative. Outreach events will be advertised through Neighborhood Associations, Redwood City 2020, parent -teacher associations, and social media. Attachment 1, Exhibit A of the professional services agreement shows the scope of work in detail. The following is the tentative schedule of key tasks to deliver this project.
