SUBJECT: MAIN STREET LIGHTING

a
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6205 approving a Professional
Services Agreement with Fehr and Peers to prepare a street light study on Main
Street for $29,925.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
During the FY 2011 -12 budget study sessions, requests were received for the
lighting to be improved on Main Street. The lighting improvements requested are
located on Main Street between Pacific Coast Highway and Ocean Avenue. This
locations length is approximately 2,000 feet, including shops, restaurants, street
furniture, and high pedestrian summer traffic.
Lighting on Main Street is currently provided with standard Edison light poles.
The City pays for the electricity within those poles. Included with the rate of the
electricity is funding for Southern California Edison to operate and maintain the
network of lighting throughout the City. Beginning in the mid 1990's the City
began planting trees on Main Street which have matured and filled into a canopy.
This canopy has grown around the lights thus reducing the effectiveness of the
light being provided. This fiscal year, in addition to lighting improvements, the
City is proceeding with a project to plant additional trees within Main Street. That
project is currently in the design phase and although the design is not yet
complete, the location of the additional trees is known and will be accounted for
within this lighting design.
In addition to the maturation of the tree canopy, residents have expressed a
desire to replace the lights with a more aesthetically pleasing light that more aptly
represents the atmosphere and character of Main Street. Southern California
Edison does have a decorative light that can be installed within the lighting rate
plan with the City.
Agenda Item M
Per the City's Municipal Code 11.4.20.020 Section D.6.b., "Funds collected from
the In -Lieu Parking Program shall be used exclusively for the purpose of
promoting, managing, operating, increasing and maintaining the availability of
parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of Main Street." Expenditure of Parking -
in -Lieu funds for lighting improvements therefore services the above purpose.
Based upon this Code section and the purpose of the proposed project to
properly maintain adequate lighting, City staff has determined its appropriate use
of these funds.
The scope of the professional services agreement will assess the lighting
requirements on Main Street, analyze options for decorative lighting, and prepare
plans for the future improvements.
A request for proposal was distributed to lighting - design firms who have
successfully performed similar studies. Staff received and reviewed two
proposals and selected Fehr and Peers for $29,925 based upon qualifications
and experience. The fee is appropriate for the scope of service to be performed.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no Environmental Impact related to award of a professional services
agreement. Any future project will comply with the conditions of CEQA and be
presented at the appropriate time.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
No legal analysis is required for this item.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In the approved 2011 -12 Budget, $30,000 from Parking in Lieu fees has been
allocated for this project. The awarded amount is $29,925.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6205 approving a Professional
Services Agreement with Fehr and Peers to prepare a street light study on Main
Street for $29,925.

Subject: Street Lighting Design and Analysis on Main Street
Dear Mike,
Fehr & Peers is pleased to submit this proposal in response to the City's request for proposal for
street lighting design and analysis on Main Street. We have prepared our scope of work and fee
estimate based upon our conversations, the RFP and our experience performing similar lighting
and LED analysis projects.
We have assembled a team of experts in the lighting analysis and design starting with the Project
Manager, Lisa Levasseur, P.E., who has led several lighting projects including the retrofit of over
8,200 lights in the City of Fairfield to energy efficient lighting as well as replacement of existing
street lights with LED fixtures in several neighborhoods in Richmond, CA. Lisa is well versed in
presenting at public meetings and will be supported by Suzanne Luckjiff, P.E., who has over 15
years of experience in managing lighting and design projects.
I will serve as the Principal in Charge providing general oversight and be your local liason. I have
been assisting clients for 25 years in transportation planning and engineering and will be
available out of our Orange County office.
The enclosed information contains our Scope of Services, Fee Estimate and Schedule.
We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and we are excited about the
opportunity to work with the City of Seal Beach. You can contact us with any questions regarding
this proposal.
Sincerely,
FEHR & PEERS

SCOPE OF WORK
Street Lighting Design and Analysis on Main Street
Seal Beach, CA
The following scope of work outlines the anticipated work effort to prepare a street lighting design and
analysis on Main Street in Seal Beach, California. This scope provides for public meetings, research,
data collection, field review, street light exhibits, street light analysis /study and landscape architect
review as described below.
Our understanding of the project is that the City would like to study the lighting on Main Street from
Pacific Coast Highway to Ocean Avenue. Currently, lighting along Main Street is provided by lights
mounted on Edison light poles, which are partially obstructed by a canopy of ficus trees. The City
desires to study a solution to replace the existing lights with aesthetically pleasing standards that
provide illumination appropriate to a downtown environment that experiences significant vehicle and
pedestrian activity.
Fehr & Peers has conducted numerous lighting studies including photometric analysis of energy
efficient luminaires such as LED and induction lighting. We are also familiar with analyzing the
lighting levels with existing and proposed trees to achieve recommended illuminance values. We
have also developed 3D modeling of our lighting analysis to aid Cities and the public to envision how
new lighting will affect their communities.
Below outlines the tasks for this scope of work to achieve a successful project:
Task 1— Public Meetings
Fehr & Peers will attend and present at three (3) public coordination meetings to discuss the street
lighting study. The meetings will include:
The first meeting will focus on gathering public input, so that the final design is informed to
some extent by community input and direction,. Fehr & Peers will facilitate a workshop
meeting at a City facility. We assume the City will prepare and distribute notices of the
meeting. We will present a palette of lighting types in an attempt to identify common desires
in terms of architecture. We will also present a list of potential concerns and issues (e.g. too
dark in places, lights frequently out) for the public to weigh in on, and also provide an
opportunity for members of the public to present their concerns.
2. The second meeting will follow up on the first and present to the public the final results of the
study that incorporate the public's input. We will include 3D renderings and a Powerpoint
presentation of the proposed lighting layout to help the public envision the improvements to
Main Street. We will prepare (as part of Task 3) the renderings and photo - simulations of the
proposed lighting scheme.
3. The third meeting will be with the City Council to present the final results of the study,
incorporating any comments received during the second meeting. This will include the
Powerpoint presentation and 3D renderings of the proposed lighting layout to help City
Council envision the improvements to downtown Main Street.

Michael Ho, City of Seal Beach F E H R t P E E R S
October 25, 2011
Task 2 — Research, Data Collection, and Field Review
Fehr & Peers will work with street lighting vendors and the City to develop several lighting options to
present at the first public meeting. We will work with RMA to recommend a style to the City that is
consistent with its current scheme, and narrow down the options to five styles to present at the first
public meeting. This will include pendant, post -top, tear -drop, dark -sky compliant, and other lighting
styles. We will also collect electronic base topographic files and as -built plans from the City. A field
visit will be conducted to verify existing features such as trees, lights, roadway, sidewalk widths, and
also observe vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. We will also conduct a night time survey to
measure the existing conditions in foot candles. Using our Extech LT300 light meter, we will visually
identify and measure bright and dark spots, light levels within crosswalks and intersections, and in
sidewalks. This data will be used in Task 4 for the existing street lighting analysis. The topographic
files and field data will be used in subsequent tasks for exhibits and photometric analysis.
Task 3 — Street Light Exhibits
Fehr & Peers will prepare color exhibits for the second and third public meetings to be mounted on
two (2) landscape 42 "x36" foam boards and a Powerpoint presentation (v.2003). The exhibits will
show existing conditions and proposed improvements within the project limits. The proposed
improvements will be based on the street lighting analysis conducted in task 4.
Task 4 — Street Lighting Analysis /Study
Fehr & Peers will prepare photometric analysis of the existing condition and up to three (3) proposed
lighting fixture types. The goal of this task will be to work through decisions regarding overall spacing
of lights, confirmation of the architectural features of the light pole, fixture type, light output from each
fixture, and light locations. The end result after receiving input from the first public meeting will be
recommendation on fixture type, light pole, spacing of the lights. With this information we will develop
a preliminary construction cost estimate. The deliverable will be a study format of existing and
proposed recommendations and preliminary construction cost estimate.
As part of this study, we will also offer additional options that the City could consider as part of the
street lighting upgrade. This includes centralized control capability, which would allow the City to
control (via dimming, on /off), monitor, and manage the lighting system remotely. Alternatively, the
City could consider fixtures that are self- monitoring, and respond to changes in ambient light and
time /day automatically. The study will also examine opportunities to support other infrastructure as
part of the lighting upgrades. For example, the new system could be designed to support Electric
Vehicle Charging stations, either within the Electric Avenue Park or at the Pier.
Task 5 — Landscape Architect Review
Fehr & Peers has RMA International on the team to:
1. Attend three (3) public coordination meetings.
2. Review selected light fixture product data from Fehr & Peers and make
recommendations.
3. Provide Fehr & Peers with locations, species type and sizes of existing street trees in the
100, 200, and 300 blocks of Main Street.
4. Provide MS Word format report on street tree canopy and root system conditions as they
relate to existing and /or new proposed light fixtures.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
City of Richmond Street Light Replacement
Miss Levasseur served as design task lead as well as project manager on a residential street light retrofit project
in the City of Richmond, CA. The existing neighborhood consisted of obsolete street light fixtures operating on a
series circuit, and was ultimately replaced with energy- efficient LED street lights. Fehr & Peers worked with the
City to provide recommendations on lighting illuminance standards throughout the neighborhood, and performed
an analysis to present several viable fixture options to the City.
City of Fairfield Street and Pedestrian Lighting Inventory
Miss Levasseur served as the design lead and project manager for the retrofit of 8,000 street and pedestrian
lights in the City of Fairfield, CA. The first part of the project included data collection of all existing city -owned and
maintained street and pedestrian lights, with this database enabling the City to maintain and monitor their lights.
The second part of the project included preparing maps in GIS, which noted the existing type of lighting fixture
and wattage, as well as project plans, that detailed the type of retrofit for each fixture type and wattage. All
existing high pressure sodium lights were converted to energy - efficient LED and induction lighting.
De Anza High School Traffic Engineering Services
Fehr & Peers worked with the West Contra Costa Unified School District and the City of Richmond to prepare
PS &E for the design of a traffic signal modification, the design of a new traffic signal, and signing and striping
plans along the corridor in front of the newly redesigned high school. The project also included the design of LED
street lights along the school frontage. Fehr & Peers developed 3D renderings of the corridor to better illustrate
the effect of the LED lighting. Miss Levasseur served as both the design engineer and project manager for this
project.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Mr. Brown was either the project manager or principal -in- charge of all the following studies conducted
by Fehr & Peers:
Mobility Strategies for County Corridors
Fehr & Peers was the lead firm on this landmark study to develop and evaluate ideas for enhancing mobility in the
11 most congested corridors in Sacramento County, a total of 55 miles of arterial roadways. Enhancing mobility
was defined by reducing travel times and improved travel time reliability; increasing the people- moving capacity
and improving safety for all users of the transportation system.
Fehr & Peers facilitated the involvement of an advisory team comprised of government representatives and
transportation advocates. The study provided an exhaustive list of ideas and quantitatively evaluated the most
promising strategies. These results were presented in a short-list of strategies for each corridor that can be
pursued as funding, partnering and development opportunities arise.
Irvine Spectrum Transit Study
Fehr & Peers developed a transit plan for the Spectrum Area of Irvine, with a focus on connecting housing, retail,
employment, and educational sites to the Metrolink service at the Irvine Transportation Center.
Diamond Bar Interchange Study
Fehr & Peers was part of a team that assisted the City of Diamond Bar in evaluating freeway access options
within the City. We provided a peer review and interpretation of studies prepared by others for both the local
interchanges and the system interchange at SR 61 / SR 70.
Revelle College Parking Garage Access Study
Fehr & Peers evaluated the traffic impacts of a proposed parking garage at Revelle College on the UCSD
campus. Our analysis considered intersection operations during peak commute hours as well as during special
events. In addition, the project included closure of an existing campus entrance. Our evaluation of this closure
included impact analysis of rerouted trips, potential cut - through problems and safety issues.
Anaheim Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
Fehr & Peers developed a comprehensive neighborhood traffic management program for the city of Anaheim.
The program included the neighborhood traffic calming process, tool box and design templates. Development of
the program involved multiple meetings with city staff and key stakeholders, including the Fire and Police
Departments.
Pedestrian Safety Audits
Fehr & Peers developed a manual for Pedestrian Safety Audits to be performed upon request from California
cities /communities. The manual included collaboration with an expert review panel and review of best practices in
pedestrian safety. A logistics guide for the two -day audits was also developed. Upon completion of this manual,
Fehr & Peers was retained to conduct audits throughout California.
SACOG Blueprint
The Sacramento Area Council of Governments ( SACOG) wanted to sponsor a long -range visioning exercise for
the future of the Sacramento region, but found that their regional traffic model (SACMET) had no mechanism for
predicting the effects of Smart Growth land use policies. Fehr & Peers developed a post - processor that enabled
the SACMET model to be used to analyze the likely effects of neighborhood characteristics on travel behavior
based upon the 4Ds of the built environment: residential and employment density, diversity of land uses, walkable
design, and proximity to regional destinations. The post - processor was used by the SACOG in their award -
winning Blueprint Project.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE, CONTINUED
Rancho Mission Viejo Sustainable Transportation Program
Fehr & Peers prepared a sustainable transportation program for Rancho Mission Viejo, a new development in
Southern Orange County. Our work on the sustainable transportation program included development of the
bicycle plan, bicycle facilities and NEV (Neighborhood Electronic Vehicle) plan. The comprehensive NEV network
is a unique feature that highlights the development's sustainable transportation program and is only the second
such plan in the state. In Rancho Mission Viejo NEVs, bicyclists, and pedestrians will coexist on a well- connected
network of paths and trails that link residential, retail, and recreational land uses, thus reducing the amount of
automobile trips within the development.
Cal Poly Pomona Pedestrian Safety Study
Fehr & Peers conducted a pedestrian safety study of the entire Cal Poly campus. We evaluated existing
pedestrian facilities and vehicle data on- campus, with particular attention to pedestrian - vehicle conflict locations.
As part of our work we recommend specific crosswalk, roadway, and intersection improvements both on- campus
and on City of Pomona roadways. We developed guidelines for the University for future pedestrian treatments,
including crosswalk design standards. Our work assists the University in future development of amenities that are
safe and inviting for pedestrian activity and help to make the University more pedestrian- friendly.
As a result of our recommendations, we have designed the first in- roadway warning light crosswalk system on the
Cal Poly campus. This design will alert motorists when pedestrians are in the crosswalk with the use of imbedded
flashing LEDs.
University of Southern California Master Plan
Fehr & Peers assisted the Master Plan Team in developing a long range plan with regards to the university's
circulation element, parking system and pedestrian /bicycle master plan. We coordinated meetings with other
team members, the City, Caltrans and Metro. A comprehensive transportation demand model was created for the
University of Southern California's Master Plan to study various project alternatives. The model incorporated the
University Park Campus (UPC) and residential and student uses to the north. The model was used for a CEQA
transportation analysis.
Downtown Anaheim
Fehr & Peers assisted the City of Anaheim on a number of transportation projects that will enhance the downtown
environment. We evaluated the safety and performance of modifications to Anaheim Boulevard and Broadway,
which included: angled parking, bulb -outs, reduced lanes, and wider sidewalks. Our analysis resulted in several
refinements to the proposed street modifications. We have also analyzed the ability of the existing and proposed
parking supply to support additional development in the area.
