STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council appropriate $28,000.00 to Local Transportation Fund for the design of traffic signals for Promenade Project. DISCUSSION: On April 15, 2008, City Council approved the Development Agreement (DA) between the City and Redlands Land Holding L.L.C. (RLH), who is the developer of the Promenade Project located on the west side of Eureka Street south of the Interstate 10 freeway. The DA requires the RLH to pay Development Impact Fees to the City, which includes the payment of traffic signal fees to share in the cost of the installation of certain master planned traffic signals affecting the project. In turn, the DA obligates the City to design and install these master planned traffic signals. The Requests for Proposal were sent out to three qualified firms to provide the traffic engineering consulting services to design the traffic signals. After review of the proposals by the selection committee, Lawrence S. Eisenhart was selected as the best qualified consultant. Additionally, the professional design service cost proposal was the lowest proposal received and staff considers the fee reasonable. In accordance with City Code, Council approval of the consultant services agreement is not required (less than $ 30,000) and the Finance Director will approve the contract if the additional appropriation is authorized. FISCAL IMPACT: The funds to pay for the consultant services come from the Development Impact Fee to be paid by the developer of the Promenade Project.
