City Council

D. Approval of First Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. to Provide Traffic Engineering, Engineering Support, and Public Works Permit Inspection Services On September 7, 2021, the City Council approved a one-year extension to the professional services agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. in the amount of $342,420.00 to provide City Engineering, Traffic Engineering and General Engineering services. Transtech’s Agreement expires on their Agreement for approximately 16 months to align with the start/end of the City’s fiscal year (June 30, 2024). Transtech’s proposal includes an hourly rate fee schedule increase of 2.76% compared to their 2021/22 fee schedule. This fee increase is reasonable and well below the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase of approximately 7%. Furthermore, due to the City’s recent addition of a full-time City Engineer, the scope of services is proposed to be amended to reduce and reclassify City Engineering services to Engineering Support services and increase Traffic Engineering services to address the City’s backlog of traffic analyses related to Traffic Commission items and community requests. CEQA: Not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the professional services agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. for engineering services to extend the agreement term from February 18, 2023, to June 30, 2024, in a not-to-exceed amount of $431,200.
