FROM: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
GENE AUTRY TRAIL WIDENING
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve a contract services agreement with HDR
Engineering, Inc., for the following two projects:
1) Contract Services Agreement professional environmental and engineering design
services in the amount of $481,000 for the Gene Autry Trail Railroad Bridge
Widening, City Project 01-04; and
2) Contract Services Agreement professional environmental and engineering design
services in the amount of$415,000 for the Gene Autry Trail Widening, City Project
02-03.
SUMMARY:
These agreements will provide the environmental and engineering design services for two
Gene Autry Trail widening projects. The City of Palm Springs is the recipient of a federal
grant related to the widening of Gene Autry Trail from the Union Pacific Railroad bridge to
Salvia Road/Micro Place. Additionally, the City entered into an agreement with the
Coachella Valley Association of Governments(CVAG)for funding to widen Gene Autry Trail
from Vista Chino to the Union Pacific Railroad bridge. The grant and agreement with CVAG
will provide for the widening of Gene Autry Trail to 4 lanes through the Whitewater River,
and to 6 lanes across the railroad bridge, to coincide with the GeneAutry Trail /Interstate
10 interchange improvements currently proceeding through the environmental and design
stages.
BACKGROUND:
On January 31,2001,staff submitted an application for2000 STIP Discretionary Grant funds
to support the City's attempt to widen the existing Gene Autry Trail railroad bridge and
connector roadway to the 1-10 interchange,to complement the Interchange widening project
currently underway. The overall cost of this project was estimated at $2,631,000. The
Riverside County Transportation Commission(RCTC) advised the City on March 29, 2001,
that it was successful in receiving $1,842,000 in STIP funds for this project,with the federal
grant covering 70% of the project costs, and the remaining 30% to be covered by local
funds.
Given the fact that Gene Autry Trail is not just a local City road, but of regional significance,
the City sought CVAG's assistance in assuming some of the local costs associated with the
federal grant. We also sought CVAG's assistance in widening the portion of Gene Autry
Trail through the Whitewater River to further improve regional traffic circulation out of the
Coachella Valley and onto Interstate 10. The overall cost of the project for widening Gene
Autry Trail through the Whitewater River was originally estimated at $3,455,000.
The Council adopted a formal Resolution at its April 18,2001, meeting requesting full CVAG
Regional Measure A funding to cover the balance of costs beyond the federal grant funds. /a A

Through coordination with CVAG staff,and cooperation of CVAG's various sub-committees,
and eventually approval of its Executive Committee, the City successfully obtained CVAG
funding for project costs not covered by the federal grant. On September 5, 2001, the City
Council approved a Reimbursement Agreement with CVAG which,essentially, provides the
City with $4,564,500 in Regional Measure A funds that will cover its 30% local match
towards the federally funded project to widen the existing railroad bridge and connector road
to 1-10, as well as 100% of the costs of widening Gene Autry Trail through the Whitewater
River. Due to the different funding sources of each project, the overall project has been
separated into two. The federally funded bridge widening project will be referred to as the
Gene Autry Trail Railroad Bridge Widening,City Project 01-04. The CVAG funded widening
project through the Whitewater River will be referred to as the Gene Autry Trail Widening,
City Project 02-03. However, the environmental and design services of both projects will
be combined and coordinated by a single project team, under separate contracts.
The federally funded project requires coordination with Caltrans who administered and
channels all federal funds from FHWA to local agencies. On March 22, 2002, staff
submitted the required paperwork to receive authorization from Caltrans to proceed with the
project. Caltrans authorization to proceed with preliminary engineering was finally received
on May 9, 2002. Subsequently, staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) to obtain
professional environmental and engineering design services for the combined street and
bridge widening projects.
The RFP was advertised in the Desert Sun on June 27, 2002, and on August 23, 2002,
technical proposals from the following firms were received:
• Boyle Engineering Corporation; Ontario, CA
• David Evans and Associates, Inc.; Palm Desert, CA
• Engineering Resources of Southern California; San Bernardino, CA
• HDR Engineering, Inc.; Orange, CA
• Korve Engineering; San Bernardino, CA
• Nolte Associates, Inc.; Corona, CA
• Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Douglas, Inc.; San Bernardino, CA
• Psomas; Palm Desert, CA
• RBF Consulting; Palm Desert, CA
• Tetra Tech, Inc.; Palm Desert, CA
Following review of the proposals by a Selection Committee, the firms HDR Engineering,
Inc., Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Douglas, Inc., Psomas, and RBF Consulting were
selected for further evaluation. On October28, 2002, interviews were conducted with the
selected firms,and aftercareful consideration by an Interview Panel HDR Engineering, Inc.,
was selected. This selection was based on their extensive relationship with the Union
Pacific Railroad, and more specifically, with their understanding of environmental issues
gained through their current work related to Union Pacific Railroad's dual railroad track
construction project.
Federal rules require that when contract services agreements exceed $250,000, a pre-
award audit of the selected consultant must be performed. Following contract negotiations,
staff prepared two contract services agreements for professional environmental and
engineering design services with HDR Engineering(one forthe federally funded project and
one for the CVAG funded project) in an amount not to exceed $481,000 and $415,0001 aA a

respectively. The federally funded contract was submitted to the Caltrans Department of
Audits and Investigations for review, and on February 14, 2003, Caltrans authorized staff
to proceed with award of the proposed contract. Walt Quesada, a Principal of the firm, will
be the Project Manager and coordinate all professional services for the City.
All costs associated with both contracts are covered by a federal grant or CVAG Regional
Measure A funding. No local funds are required. Sufficient funding is available for City
Project 01-04 in Caltrans federal reimbursable account 261-4491-50214 (Gene Autry RR
Bridge) and CVAG Measure A reimbursable account 134-4497-50214 (Gene Autry RR
Bridge); and for City Project 02-03 in Measure A reimbursable account 134-4497-50217

cause and to any legal action, and such compliance shall not be a waiver of any party's right to take legal action in
the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing herein shall limit City's or the Contractor's right to
terminate this Agreement without cause pursuant to Section 7.8.
7.3 Retention of Funds. Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount
payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be

an immediate danger to the health, safety and general welfare, such immediate action may be necessary.

cause and to any legal action, and such compliance shall not be a waiver of any parry's right to take legal action in
the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing herein shall limit City's or the Contractor's right to
terminate this Agreement without cause pursuant to Section 7.8.

�'a
exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without
liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to
exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure,
indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a nondefaulting
party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. A party's consent to or
approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or
render unnecessary the other parry's consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of
any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other
provision of this Agreement.

expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the
exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same

action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel
specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy
consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.

performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of
this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Zero Dollars
0.00 as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder,
as specified in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit "D"). The City may withhold from any monies payable on
account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages.

this Agreement except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City
reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days' written
notice to Contractor, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Contractor, the period of notice may be
such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Contractor reserves the right to
terminate this Agreement at any time upon, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days' written notice to City,

services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the

provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to
compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of
termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party
with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.9 Termination for Default of Contractor. If termination is due to the failure of the
Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section
7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be
liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation

herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may
withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City
as previously stated.
7.10 Attorneys' Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or

party entitled to attorney's fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking
depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All

the terms of this Agreement.
