Page 1 03/11/99 at 01:57:11 PM V OF E4Ci J Agenda Item No. City of Elgin March 1, 1999 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Joyce A. Parker, City Manager SUBJECT: Traffic Engineering Contract PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider an agreement with Pavia Marting & Co. to provide traffic engi- neering services for the City. BACKGROUND In September of 1998, City staff solicited proposals from three consultants to provide traffic engineering services for the City. The traffic engineering services were not to exceed elk $5, 000 as a trial toward the benefits of these services . Two consultants submitted proposals and met with staff, Pavia Marting and Crawford, Murphy and Tilly. Pavia Marting was selected because their traffic engineer has many years of municipal experience, including neighborhood traffic design, which is lacking among many other traffic engineers. Pavia Marting has extensive experience working with both IDOT, Kane County and Cook County. The third consultant, Smith Engineer- ing, chose not to participate. Since September, Pavia Marting' s services have been utilized to facilitate the Neighborhood Services Committee in review of items such as four-way stops, roadway realignments, crossing guard studies, comprehensive signage review and others . Their services have proven to be very valuable working with both the area schools and neighborhood groups . The attached proposal from Pavia Marting provides those same services as were used on a trial basis in 1998 . Their scope of services are included with their proposal and include, among other items, attendance at Neighborhood Services Commit- tee meetings, meeting with neighborhood groups when requested, prepare recommendations to staff and make field investigations of traffic-related issues . In some cases, Pavia Marting may be requested to prepare schematic drawings or plans . Traffic Engineering Contract March 1, 1999 Page 2 The proposal is in a not-to-exceed amount of $25, 000 for 1999 . Because no specified tasks are identified with this proposal, staff reviewed hourly rates for the firm. Pavia Marting' s rates compare favorably to rates established by IDOT for MFT work and were lower than those rates submitted by Crawford, Murphy and Tilly. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Neighborhood Services Committee. Overall, the committee is pleased with the assistance provided by Pavia Marting' s engineer. )-,4\ FINANCIAL IMPACT jJ The 1999 budget includes $25, 000 within General Fund account number 010-3311-752 . 30-03 , project number 030011 . The subject proposal is a not-to-exceed contract in the amount of $25, 000 . laneLEGAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES Award the contract as recommended or decline the proposal for city-wide traffic engineering services . RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Mayor and members of the City Council approve a traffic engineering services contract with Pavia Marting & Co. of Roselle, IL in the not-to-exceed amount of $25, 000 . $- pectfully subm' ted, a .
