in general, if the work on the PROJECT is being performed in a manner
indicating that the PROJECT, when completed, will be in accordance with

discover latent defects in the work or otherwise check the quality or quantity
of the work on the PROJECT. If the ENGINEER makes on-site
observation(s) of a deviation from the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER
shall inform the CITY.

economic feasibility, or schedules will not vary from the ENGINEER's
opinions, analyses, projections, or estimates.

progress payments to the construction contractor will be based on the
ENGINEER's knowledge, information, and belief from selective sampling
and observation that the work has progressed to the point indicated. Such
recommendations do not represent that continuous or detailed examinations
have been made by the ENGINEER to ascertain that the construction
contractor has completed the work in exact accordance with the Contract

Quality Level D
• Conduct appropriate investigations (e.g., owner records, County/CITY records,
personal interviews, visual inspections, etc.), to help identify utility owners that
may have facilities within the project limits or that may be affected by the project.
• Collect applicable records (e.g., utility owner base maps, "as built' or record
drawings, permit records, field notes, geographic information system data, oral
histories, etc.) on the existence and approximate location of existing involved
utilities.
• Review records for: evidence or indication of additional available records;
duplicate or conflicting information; need for clarification.
• Develop SUE plan sheets and transfer information on all involved utilities to
appropriate design plan sheets, electronic files, and/or other documents as
required. Exercise professional judgment to resolve conflicting information. For
information depicted, indicate: utility type and ownership; date of depiction;
quality level(s); end points of any utility data; line status (e.g., active, abandoned,
out of service); line size and condition; number of jointly buried cables; and
encasement.
Quality Level C (includes tasks as described for Quality Level D)
• Identify surface features, from project topographic data and from field
observations, that are surface appurtenances of subsurface utilities.
• Include survey and correlation of aerial or ground-mounted utility facilities in
Quality Level C tasks.
• Survey surface features of subsurface utility facilities or systems, if such features
have not already been surveyed by a professional surveyor. If previously
surveyed, check survey data for accuracy and completeness.
• The survey shall also include (in addition to subsurface utility features visible at
the ground surface): determination of invert elevations of any manholes and
vaults; sketches showing interior dimensions and line connections of such
manholes and vaults; any surface markings denoting subsurface utilities,
furnished by utility owners for design purposes.
• Exercise professional judgment to correlate data from different sources, and to
resolve conflicting information.
• Update (or prepare) plan sheets, electronic files, and/or other documents to
reflect the integration of Quality Level D and Quality Level C information.
• Recommend follow-up investigations (e.g., additional surveys, consultation with
utility owners, etc.) as may be needed to further resolve discrepancies.
• Provide Quality Level C to identify overhead utilities on the project and provide
the overhead utility information on the SUE plan sheets.

surface for subsequent survey. Utilize paint or other method acceptable for
marking of lines.
• Unless otherwise directed, mark centerline of single-conduit lines, and outside
edges of multi-conduit systems.
• Resolve differences between designated utilities and utility records and surveyed
appurtenances.
• Recommend additional measures to resolve differences if they still exist.
Recommendations may include additional or different surface geophysical
methods, exploratory excavation, or upgrade to Quality Level A data.
• As an alternative to the physical marking of lines, the ENGINEER may, with
CITY's approval, utilize other means of data collection, storage, retrieval, and
reduction, that enables the correlation of surface geophysical data to the project's
survey control.
Level A

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA F°u%RTH
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 8/21/2018
REFERENCE ** 20TRANSPORTATION
DATE: 8/21/2018 NO.: C-28807 LOG NAME: IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENTS
CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Engineering Services Agreements with Four Individual Companies
Each in an Amount Not to Exceed $500,000.00 per Agreement for Engineering and Design
Services for Transportation Improvements(ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an Engineering Services
Agreement for Transportation Improvements with: Cobb, Fendley &Associates, Inc. in an amount not
to exceed $500,000.00, Lockwood, Andrews& Newman, Inc. in an amount not to exceed
$500,000.00; Free�e' Nichols, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $500,000.00 and Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. In an amount not to exceed $500,000.00. Each agreement may be renewed up to
two additional times.
DISCUSSION:
The Transportation and Public Works Department has implemented changes to the project delivery
process to improve efficiency and accelerate schedules for capital projects. As part of this effort, Staff
recommends the authorization of on-call engineering and design services agreements with consulting
firms to reduce the delays and costs associated with preparing engineering design work for capital
projects. Staff estimates that this approach will reduce the project time for smaller transportation
projects by approximately three months when combined with current efforts to improve the processes
for project funding appropriations.
The projects include design of street lighting, traffic signals, intersection improvements, sidewalks
and other related transportation improvements as identified by City staff. Projects needing on-call
engineering and design services will be identified by staff and task orders will be issued as
appropriate. Each Agreement may be renewed up to two additional times.
M/WBE Office—All firms are in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by committing to at least
10% SBE participation on these projects. The City's SBE goal on these projects is 10%.
The projects will be located in all COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget as appropriated
of the projects identified for agreement services. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the
participating department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
