Front Street Lighting Project Planning Manager Don Burt explained that the decorative lights for the South end of Front Street (Hwy 99) have been ordered by the City. The Development Commission will reimburse the city next year so that it will not affect the budget this year. We should be able to get the project done for $120,000 without doing an amendment to the budget this year. This was an informational item only, no action was requested. V. BUSINESS A. Resolution No. 2015-01, Award of Contract for Gebhard Road Route Analysis Mr. Burt explained that on December 19, 2014 the City received six responses to the Gebhard Road Alignment Analysis Request for Qualifications. Staff interviewed JRH Transportation Engineers and Adkins Engineering These were the two most qualified out of the responses that were received. City of Cent nil Paint City Council 11,1 nuts January 22,2015 Page 2 The project budget is $25,000 and both proposals were over $40,000 which is well over the budgeted amount. During the interviews the scope of the project was discussed in more detail and it was agreed by both firms that the proposed costs could be reduced. Reductions in cost would be based primarily on the City's increased participation in the public review process, which staff is able to do. Based strictly on qualifications staff recommends awarding the contract to JRH Transportation Engineers. The city has had experience with JRH in the past and had good expenence with their planning of East Pine Street area study and the 2008 Transportation System Plan. With the approval of the Development Commission staff will prepare a contract with a revised scope of work and enter into an agreement with JRH in an amount not to exceed $30,000. Once approved staff will begin the public review process and schedule the first meeting for February 11, 2015 with the stake holders in the area. There was discussion of who the stake holders will be and what the process will look like. Gebhard Road will service a large area in our Urban Reserve Area. We do not plan to use eminent domain or build roads for this project. We will only be determining a preferred route option for future development of the property along East Pine.
