Item 08 - Consideration of Engineering Services Contract ApprovalAGENDA ITEM NO.8
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
City of West Covina I Office of the City Manager
DATE: August 20, 2019
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: David Carmany
Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT APPROVAL
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Transtech for City Engineering Services, Traffic Engineering Services and General Engineering
Services for two years ending September 1, 2021; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Transtech not to exceed $800,000.
BACKGROUND:
Historically, the City of West Covina has provided Engineering services through a fully staffed Engineering
Division of a Public Works Department. In 2015, the City determined to hire a Traffic Engineer to oversee traffic
issues and improvements. Willdan was hired at that time to provide Traffic Engineering services. In June of 2018,
upon the resignation of the Public Works Director/City Engineer, the City contracted Willdan to provide a Public
Works Consultant/City Engineer to supervise the Engineering responsibilities. In November of 2018, City Hall was
reorganized to eliminate the Public Works Department and create the Community Development Department
(Building, Economic Development, Engineering and Planning) and the Public Services Department (Community
Services and Public Works Maintenance). In June of 2019, as part of the discussions on the Fiscal Year 2019-20
Budget, it was determined that the remaining Engineering Division positions would be eliminated (vacant and filled
positions) and an Engineering consultant firm would be contracted to provide all Engineering services for the City.
DISCUSSION:
On March 12, 2019, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Engineer Services, Traffic Engineering Services
and On -call General Engineering Services. Notifications of the RFP were sent to 70 consulting firms that provide
these type of services. On February 21, 2018, eight proposals were received and the proposals were reviewed by
staff for relevant experience, qualifications of personnel, size of the firm and schedule of costs.
Transtech scored the highest in the review of the proposals as they have provided engineering and traffic services
to multiple cities and jurisdictions including Commerce, Monterey Park, Alhambra, South El Monte, Temple City
and Cudahy and provided partial services to Placentia, Beaumont, Chino, Big Bear Lake, Menifee, San Fernando,
and Costa Mesa. The proposed City Engineer is Michael Ackerman who has over 20 years experience in municipal
engineering services. The company has over 100 employees providing some elasticity in the case of illnesses or
prolonged time off by the consultant staff or if there is a need to increase staffing to complete an important project.
Transtech scored well in the interviews as they expressed they are aggressive in finding outside funding sources,
and especially in their use of electronic documentation including indexing, cloud based data sharing, and indexing
of traffic review requests. Transtech expressed a desire to work with and be a part of City staff and expressed a
culture of innovation in addressing issues and communicating with staff. Therefore, staff is recommending selecting
Transtech for engineering services.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve staffs recommendation; or
2. Select another firm based on those that submitted proposals; or
3. Reject proposals and direct staff to send out another RFP. This option may not reduce costs any further but
delay the process by a minimum of three to four months; or
4. Provide alternative direction.
Fiscal Impact
FISCAL IMPACT:
The majority of Engineering expenditures are funded through special funds. Transtech will provide hourly rates
as specified in Attachment No. 1, Exhibit B. Consultant work on Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects are
billed to each specific CIP project which is approved with the budget. Expenditures for Engineering will increase
when more CIP projects are implemented. This approval shall be for an amount not to exceed $800,000.

6.8. Indemnification and Hold Harmless. To the fullest extent of the law, CONSULTANT

appointed officials, officers, agents and employees, at Consultant's sole expense, from
and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or other legal proceedings brought
against the City, its elected and appointed officials, officers, agents and employees arising
out of, pertaining to, or relating to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of
the Consultant, its employees, and/or authorized subcontractors, in performing this
Agreement. The defense obligation provided for hereunder shall apply without any
advance showing of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the Consultant, its
employees, and/or authorized subcontractors, but shall be required whenever any claim,
action, complaint, or suit asserts as its basis the negligence, recklessness, or willful
misconduct of the Consultant, its employees, and/or authorized subcontractors, and/or
whenever any claim, action, complaint or suit asserts liability against the City, its elected
and appointed officials, officers, agents and employees based upon such negligence,
recklessness, or willful misconduct, whether or not the Consultant, its employees, and/or
authorized subcontractors are specifically named or otherwise asserted to be liable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consultant shall not be liable for the defense or
indemnification of the City for claims, actions, complaints or suits arising out of the sole
active negligence or willful misconduct of the City.

the City, its elected and appointed officials, officers, agents and employees under this
paragraph, but shall promptly reimburse reasonable defense fees and costs to the extent
a claim is caused by the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Consultant, or
as the parties otherwise agree in settlement. In no event shall the cost to defend charged
to Consultant under this paragraph exceed the Consultant's proportionate percentage of
fault.

and all taxes, assessments, penalties, and interest asserted against City by reason of the
independent contractor relationship created by this Agreement. Consultant further agrees to
indemnify and hold City harmless from any failure of Consultant to comply with the applicable
worker's compensation laws. City shall have the right to offset against the amount of any fees due

indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer
contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or
subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions,
which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
Notwithstanding any other agency, state or federal policy, rule, regulation, law or
ordinance to the contrary, Consultant and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors
providing service under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby
agree to waive any claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City,

shall not be made available to any individual or organization without the prior consent of City. Any
use of such documents for other projects not contemplated by this Agreement, and any use of
incomplete documents, shall be at the sole risk of City and without liability or legal exposure to
Consultant. City shall indemnify and hold harmless Consultant from all claims, damages, losses,
and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from City's use of such

may be necessary from time to time to confirm City's ownership of the copyright in such
documents.
6.13. Electronic Safeguards. Contractor shall identify reasonably foreseeable internal
and external risks to the privacy and security of personal information that could result in the
