Backqround
In March 2009, an application was submitted on behalf of the cities of Palm Desert and
Rancho Mirage for the MSRC Clean Transportation FundingT"" FY '08/'09 Local
Government Match Program. The project proposed in the application included
developing, implementing, fine-tuning, and maintaining traffic signal coordination plans
at 14 signalized intersections on Monterey Avenue and Dinah Shore Drive.
In October 2009, staff received notification that the AQMD Governing Board had
approved our applications and awarded funding for the project. At the June 24, 2010,
City Council meeting, Council authorized staff to proceed with the Monterey Avenue
Signal Synchronization Project and to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) from traffic
engineering firms to provide traffic signal synchronization timing services in an amount
not to exceed $78,900.
A Notice Inviting Proposals was advertised and staff solicited proposals for signal
synchronization services from the professional community for this project; and on
September 24, 2010, staff received nine proposals. A proposal review committee
comprised of staff from both Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage numerically ranked the
proposals in the areas of qualifications of the firm and its personnel, management
approach, technical approach to this particular project, and overall completeness of the
proposal.
Fehr & Peers was the highest-ranked firm based upon the submitted proposals. The
firm submitted an excellent proposal that demonstrated thorough knowledge of the
project, and had references from agencies that have used, and continue to use, their
services. Additionally, Fehr and Peers has included Mr. Nazir Lalani, P.E. from Traffex
Engineers, Inc. Mr. Lalani provides traffic signal timing services to Palm Desert,
Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, and La Quinta and has extensive knowledge of the signal
systems in the valley.
Based on the overall score, Fehr & Peers was selected as the preferred consultant.
Staff proceeded to negotiate the scope and cost based on the proposal received.
Therefore, staff is confident in the value being received.
Fiscal Analvsis
Fehr & Peers has submitted a project cost proposal of $76,497.74 which does not
exceed the allotted project amount. The project costs are split with 50 percent
($38,248.87) of the funds from the MSRC grant, 30 percent ($22,949.22) provided by
Palm Desert and 20 percent ($15,299.55) from Rancho Mirage. The full cost of the
project will initially be paid by the City of Palm Desert and, at the conclusion of the
