Council approved a professional services agreement with Kimley‑Horn and Associates Inc. to provide environmental review and final design services for the Salt Lake Avenue Pedestrian Accessibility project, funded entirely by Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 6 monies.
Assistant city staff told the council Caltrans had approved the city's ATP application and the award covers the entire length of Salt Lake Avenue within the city to improve pedestrian access and connectivity to proposed gateway rail line stations. The staff report said only one responsive proposal was originally received; after re‑advertising the city received a second proposal but one was nonresponsive because it did not include final design with the environmental review as required.
Staff recommended awarding Kimley‑Horn a contract not to exceed $750,550; the council approved the recommendation. City staff and Caltrans said an extension of time request to the California Transportation Commission was approved, allowing sufficient time to complete the project.
Council members asked why so few firms bid; staff replied engineering firms are busy and many projects are competing for limited consultant capacity.
The contract will be fully funded by ATP Cycle 6 state funds; staff said they would return with project milestones and deliverables as the design proceeds.
