THE CITY OF 8 20 I CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT pLE ASANTON. November 5, 2019 Engineering TITLE: APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HMH ENGINEERS IN THE AMOUNT OF $22,000 TO PERFORM A LAND VALUE APPRAISAL AND LANDSCAPE CONCEPT DESIGN WORK NECESSARY FOR THE 35 PERCENT DESIGN OF A SECOND WESTBOUND LEFT-TURN LANE ON BERNAL AVENUE AT FIRST STREET AND SUNOL BOULEVARD, CIP NO. 17556 SUMMARY On December 18, 2018, City Council awarded an agreement to HMH Engineers (HMH) to prepare design alternatives to a 35 percent engineering design level for a second left- turn lane from westbound Bernal Avenue onto southbound Sunol Boulevard. The design alternatives subsequently developed include widening to the north, widening to the south, or a combination of both. After considering the design alternatives, City staff believe widening Bernal Avenue to the north, encroaching onto the Pleasanton Unified School District's (PUSD) property, is the preferred alternative. This alternative was presented to PUSD staff in September 2019. PUSD staff indicated their support of the proposal, and plan on presenting it to the PUSD Board by February 2020. In preparation for the presentation, District staff has requested that the City provide an appraisal of the needed right-of-way, as a well as landscape concepts that show how the roadway frontage adjacent to the PUSD property will be restored and/or improved. City staff recommends approval of the amendment with HMH Engineers in the not-to-exceed amount of $22,000 for the land appraisal and to prepare landscape design concepts. RECOMMENDATION 1 . Approve Amendment No. 1 to the contract with HMH Engineers in the not-to-exceed amount of $22,000 to provide a property appraisal and prepare landscape design concepts (an increase in the contract amount from $108,000 to $130,000). 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment to the agreement. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The current Capital Improvement Program budget includes $2.75 million to fund the design and construction of the Second Westbound Left-Turn Lane on Bernal Avenue at First Street and Sunol Boulevard, CIP No. 17556. This amendment will be charged to the project budget.
