Ingram, City Manager FROM: Sean P. Crumby P.E., Assistant City Manager /Public Works SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH KOA CORPORATION FOR SEAL BEACH BOULEVARD AND GOLDEN RAIN ROAD INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS DESIGN PROJECT NO. ST1107 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6194 approving a professional services agreement for design services with KOA Corporation in the amount of $46,900 to prepare plans and specifications for the Seal Beach Boulevard and Golden Rain Road Intersection Improvements, Project No. ST1107. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: In 2010, the City Council authorized a study to assess the existing traffic operations at the intersection of Seal Beach Boulevard and Golden Rain Road. Seal Beach Boulevard is a six lane major arterial with a posted speed limit of 50 mph. Golden Rain Road is a private arterial road that serves as the main entrance to Leisure World, a 55 years and older gated community with a population of over 9,000. The intersection is an atypical "T" intersection, as the ingress and egress are separated by almost 200 feet. The firm that performed the study collected accident data, obtained copies of signal timing plans as well as as -built signal and roadway plans. The results of the study generally indicated that there was no distinct cause or pattern for the traffic accidents within the past 5 years. Also, a review of the signal timing along with field observations showed that the signal functions with minimal delays and is efficient for all movements. The study concluded that a complete redesign of the intersection was unnecessary; however, modifications could be made to the intersection for increased visibility and ease of use. The modifications recommended include: new traffic signal poles with mast arms that meet current standards, with multiple new 12" LED signal heads in locations that are optimal for visibility by drivers, Agenda Item E including possible new pole locations. Additionally, modified pavement striping and markings were recommended to enhance the intersection. This includes striping for more optimal lane utilization, advanced directional signage, bike lane utilization striping, and possible striped medians. On July 15, 2011 staff solicited proposals to prepare construction documents for Seal Beach Boulevard and Golden Rain Road Intersection Improvements Project No. ST1107 from four (4) design firms. On August 18, 2011 staff received two (2) proposals from KOA Corporation and Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. The scope of work includes preparing plans and specifications for modifications to the intersection of Seal Beach Boulevard and Golden Rain Road including Traffic Signal modification, ADA compliance and signage and striping plans. Additionally, the design firm will perform necessary public outreach with Leisure World representatives during the course of design. A panel reviewed the proposals and after careful consideration of the proposals, staff selected KOA Corporation as the most qualified firm to design the Seal Beach Boulevard and Golden Rain Road Intersection Improvements Project Number ST1107. KOA Corporation has completed numerous street and intersection design projects for other jurisdictions with great success. They have proven track records of professional work and over the years have provided quality work. The fee for KOA Corporation to perform design services to prepare plans and specifications for the Seal Beach Boulevard and Golden Rain Road Intersection Improvements Project is $46,900. This fee proposal is appropriate for the services rendered. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no Environmental Impact related to this item. LEGAL ANALYSIS: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the City's Design Professional Services Agreement with KOA Corporation. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds have been approved in the 2011 -2012 Fiscal Year Budget in the amount of $500,000 for design, construction and inspection of the Seal Beach Boulevard and Golden Rain Road Intersection Improvements Project No. ST1107.

The existing signal is a split intersection; where the westbound leg is the entrance only for Leisure World and the eastbound leg is the exit only for Leisure World. The two signalized intersections are about 180 feet apart and controlled by one controller. Leisure World is a 55 years and older gated community with population of over 9,000. KOA proposes to carefully consider the elderly community characteristics during the design process as the community requires better visibility of all traffic control devices. KOA recently prepared a similar traffic design for Athens Services (Reclamation) on Valley Boulevard in the City of Industry with two split intersections. We are familiar with the split intersection operation and while our design for the City of Industry was for a new installation, the knowledge and experience gained with this project would be applied to preparing a signal modification design for the City of Seal Beach. It is proposed that all existing signal equipment will be examined for compliance with current City and Caltrans requirements. The old Type II and III signal poles will be replaced. Current guidelines require the installation of 100 mph wind load poles and replacement of non - standard poles will be discussed with the City. Non - standard signal head, pedestrian heads and pedestrian push buttons will also be replaced. It is expected that old conduits may not be reusable due to inadequate size and possible rust condition. Intersection lighting will be examined and enhancements recommended. In addition, curb ramps and median noses will need to be replaced for ADA compliance and safety considerations. Based on our understanding of the project, extensive geometric change of the intersection or redesign of the intersection is unnecessary. By updating the signal equipment, replacing signing and striping, and improving the cross walk, curb ramps, and possibly median nose, the visibility and ease of use at the intersection will be improved significantly. KOA CORPORATION M f Y• ENGINt ERING 18 � �Hrt L' 51 A( ' 'L BAZ- _ ToAP'rovide E In'tersectlon •Design arvices.for'the Intersection _ of Seal Beach Boulevard and Golden Rain Road The Figure on the next page illustrates the issues identified at the project intersection based on our initial field review during the proposal preparation stage. The primary issues and our proposed solutions are discussed below. Our goal is to provide the most cost beneficial solution to the City. Signal Modification The signal modification design would be based on the concept plan found in the RFP dated July 15, 2011. KOA will meet with City staff to discuss the concept plan. We have some concerns that would need to be verified prior to beginning design work. Installation of signal heads, pedestrian heads, and pedestrian push buttons will conform to the current California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). Relocation of and reuse of existing CCTV surveillance camera and wireless communication antenna will be shown on the signal modification plan. Intersection safety lighting improvements (see Lighting in this proposal) will be incorporated into the signal design as needed, to enhance lighting levels. ADA Compliance KOA staff will review the existing curb ramps for current ADA compliance. Our initial field review indicates that curb ramps are non - standard which need to be replaced and improved. City and /or Caltrans standards will be selected for ramp replacement and details added to the plans as needed. KOA staff will field measure existing slopes to confirm that the ramps meet current guidelines or the extent of replacement improvements needed to meet current standards. If ADA ramps are not in- compliance, then curb ramps shall be designed to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access requirements, and shall include detectable warning surface, flush curb, and appropriate slopes for conformance. KOA will coordinate with the City and Leisure World regarding any special use circumstances that may be present and requiring additional consideration, such as a high use of motorized wheelchairs, sigh enhancement, and pedestrian push- button placement. Adjacent gutter and pavement areas that are failing and will create access or transit difficulties will also be addressed. Median Improvements Proposed median road improvements would be either an extension of the existing PCC curb type, or striping, as preferred. The minor work would be shown on the signal plan as a detail with appropriate notes, stationing, and dimensions. Signing & Striping Issues Signing and Striping plans would be prepared to reflect proposed changes found on the concept plan in the RFP dated July 15, 2011. The plan, prepared at a scale of I"= 40' with details at I"= 20' as needed would contain all notes and details to clearly define the intended improvements. Crosswalks at both the entrance and exit to Leisure World would be high visibility type aligned with the curb ramps. The signing and striping plan would include the on -site entrance area for possible enhancements as needed. KOA CORPORATION C PLhHMNO S E`61NEEERINC, 19 nLmVTI ft.

Any lighting deficiencies will be noted and discussed with City staff. Recommendations to improve intersection lighting levels, if needed, will include increasing lamp output or adding poles with luminaires. We will also examine the use of LED lighting fixtures to replace existing luminaires. Proposed light fixtures would provide cut -off distribution to help reduce glare and spillage on the private property side (Leisure World). SCOPE OF WORK The detailed scope of work is described below: Task I — Project Management Kick -Off Meeting KOA will attend a Kick -Off meeting upon receiving notice to proceed. KOA will also prepare and distribute minutes for all meetings requested by the City. Project team communication channels will be established after the Kick -Off meeting.

Task 7— Traffic Control Plans As with any construction project there will be expected inconveniences to traffic flow both on Seal Beach Boulevard and within the site entrance. Tragic Control Exhibit Plan KOA will prepare road construction area traffic control plan which clearly defines the installation of signing, delineation, and barricade placement in advance and within the work area. The plan would be prepared on a full 24 "x36" sheet using a scale sufficient to show details and graphic representation of the various construction area signs recommended for use on this project. Proposed traffic control for the Leisure World site entrance must accommodate local traffic, buses, shuttles and emergency vehicles, and at the same time provide a convenient and safe work area for the contractor. Pedestrian and bicycle use within the work area will be directed through using the best route possible. Work Area Stage Handling Plan KOA will prepare construction area traffic control plans to accommodate street improvements on Seal Beach Boulevard and the Leisure World site entrance. Plans will be prepared at a scale of I " =40' and will contain all notes and details necessary. Lane closures and associated signing and delineation shall conform to the current California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). Curb ramp improvements will require closing lanes adjacent to the curb which will involve the southbound right turn lane and the bike lane. The sidewalk impacted by the curb ramp improvement will also be closed. Signing indicating that the bike lane is closed ahead would be installed sufficiently upstream from the work area. Bicycles would need to share lanes with vehicle traffic. Signs would also be installed to advise pedestrians of the sidewalk closure and provide an alternate pedestrian route. Other work on Seal Beach Boulevard involves extending the raised median nose. Lanes adjacent to the median would be closed.
