Public Works Agency <br /> www.santa-ana.org/pw <br /> Item # 23 <br /> City of Santa Ana <br /> 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Staff Report <br /> May 3, 2022 <br /> TOPIC: Amend Traffic Counting Services Agreements <br /> AGENDA TITLE <br /> Approve a Reallocation of Funds and Increase the Shared Agreement Amount by <br /> $40,000 for Existing Agreements with TSI and AIM for a new Aggregate Amount not to <br /> Exceed $140,000 (Non-General Fund) <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> 1. Approve the reallocation of $40,000 in unspent Measure M2 Local Fairshare funds <br /> from Traffic Management Plans FY19/20 Project (No. 20-6897)to Traffic Management <br /> Plans FY 20/21 Project (No. 21-6897). <br /> 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute agreement amendments for traffic counting <br /> services with AimTD, LLC and Transportation Studies, Inc. to increase the shared <br /> agreement amount by $40,000, for an aggregate agreement amount of $140,000, <br /> subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and the City <br /> Attorney. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The City performs studies for neighborhood traffic safety on an on-going basis, and <br /> current traffic counts and field data are needed to recommend improvements that will lead <br /> to positive benefits to our community. To gather this information, staff needs access to <br /> specialized traffic counting services to conduct counts, collect data and conduct speed <br /> surveys. <br /> On July 20, 2021 , the City Council approved professional services agreements with <br /> AimTD LLC ("AIM") and Transportation Studies, Inc. ("TSI") for traffic counting services. <br /> The approval allocated $40,000 for use in Fiscal Year 2021-22. Due to the large number <br /> of traffic counts that have been conducted in the current fiscal year, this year's fund <br /> expenditure limit of $40,000 has been reached. To continue to address neighborhood <br /> traffic safety related concerns, and to allow for additional counts needed to apply for <br /> grants, an increase in the expenditure limit is needed for the current fiscal year. Staff <br /> recommends amending the agreements by increasing the shared amount by $40,000, for <br /> a total of $80,000 for this fiscal year (Exhibit 1-2). <br /> City Council 23 — 1 5/3/2022 <br />
