TO: City Council
FROM: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
INDIAN CANYON DRIVE STREET & BRIDGE WIDENING
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve a contract services agreementwith
Dokken Engineering, in the amount of$421,500.00 for professional environmental
and engineering design services for the Indian Canyon Drive Street & Bridge
Widening, City Project 01-11.
SUMMARY:
The City of Palm Springs is the recipient of two federal grants related to the widening
of Indian Canyon Drive from the Union Pacific Railroad bridge to Garnet Avenue.
These grants will provide for the ultimate widening of Indian Canyon Drive in that
area, to coincide with the Indian/Interstate 10 interchange improvements currently
proceeding through the environmental and design stages.
BACKGROUND:
City staff has been successful in obtaining two federal grants to facilitate the
widening of Indian Canyon Drive from the Union Pacific Railroad bridge to Garnet
Avenue. Realizing the "bottleneck" that would occur south of Garnet Avenue after
construction of the Indian / 1-10 Interchange project, staff began the process of
finding funding sources available to continue the Indian Canyon Drive improvements
south of Garnet Avenue. Initially, staff obtained a Surface Transportation Program
(STP)grant to widen Indian Canyon Drive between the Union Pacific Railroad bridge
and Garnet Avenue. Subsequently, staff obtained a Highway Bridge Replacement
and Rehabilitation (HBRR) grant to widen the existing narrow bridge across the
Union Pacific Railroad. Together, these two grants provide $2,132,060 in federal
funds for this project.
In light of the fact that these improvements on Indian Canyon Drive are considered
"regional" improvements under the Measure A Program, the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments(CVAG) has the responsibility for providing 50% of the
cost of those improvements with its regional Measure A funds. Because of the
federal grants secured toward these improvements, it was possible to come to an
agreement wherein CVAG will cover the City's local match for the federal grants.
That agreement was approved by City Council on September 5, 2001. In this way,
the Indian Canyon Drive widening project will be constructed at no cost to the City.
Staff received authorization to proceed with preliminary engineering from Caltrans
on April 9, 2001, for the STP grant and on August 8, 2001, for the HBRR grant.
Subsequently, staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP)to obtain professional
environmental and engineering design services for the combined street and bridge
widening project.

The RFP was advertised in the Desert Sun on August 25, 2001, and on September
28, 2001, technical proposals from the following firms were received:
• David Evans and Associates, Inc.; Ontario, CA
• Dokken Engineering; San Diego, CA
• HDR Engineering, Inc.; Orange, CA
• Tetra Tech, Inc.; Palm Desert, CA
Following review of the proposals by a Selection Committee, the firms Dokken
Engineering and HDR Engineering, Inc., were selected for further evaluation. On
November 5, 2001, interviews were conducted with the selected firms, and after
careful consideration by an Interview Panel including staff from Caltrans Department
of Local Assistaice, Dokken Engineering was selected. This selection was based
on their previous work experience with the City, and more specifically, with their
understanding of the project specific issues gained through their currentwork related
to the environmental analysis and design of the Indian / 1-10 Interchange Project.
Federal rules require thatwhen contract services agreements exceed$250,000.00,
a pre-award audit of the selected consultant must be performed. Following contract
negotiations, staff prepared a contract services agreement with Dokken Engineering
in an amount not to exceed $421,500 for professional environmental and
engineering design services. The proposed contract was submitted to the Caltrans
Department of Audits and Investigations for review, and on February 27, 2002,
Caltrans authorized staff to proceed with award of the proposed contract. Richard
Liptak, a Principal of the firm, will be the Project Manager and coordinate all
professional services for the City.
Sufficient funding for this project is budgeted in reimbursable capital project
accounts 261-4491-50170 (Indian Cyn Dr-Widening), 261-4491-50 1 96 (Indian Ave
Uprr Bridge)and in 261-4491-50200(CVAG Reimbursable). Costs associated with
this contract will be divided with $31,000 allocated to account number 50170;
$190,000 allocated to account number 50196; and $200,500 allocated to account
number 50200.

any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court
of the County of Riverside, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor
covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action.
7.2 Disputes. In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, the injured party
shall notify the injuring party in writing of its contentions by submitting a claim therefor. The injured party shall
continue performing its obligations hereunder so long as the injuring party commences to cure such default within
ten (10) days of service of such notice and completes the cure of such default within forty-five (45) days after
service of the notice, or such longer period as may be permitted by the injured party; provided that if the default is
an immediate danger to the health, safety and general welfare, such immediate action may be necessary.
Compliance with the provisions of this Section shall be a condition precedent to termination of this Agreement for
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
in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages
suffered by City, and(ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor's acts or
omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor's obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any
claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall

Revised 09/01/98

l I 1
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 party'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.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies
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
or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal

Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California (Skinner, et al., 1994), shall be
examined. The results of the records search shall be summarized in a table and included in the
NESR.
The fieldwork for this task shall be conducted by qualified biologists in order to document the
presence/absence of sensitive biological resources (e.g., species or habitats), or to determine the
potential for occurrence of such resources that may not be detectable when the fieldwork is
conducted. The location of any sensitive biological resources present on site, including plants and
plant communities, shall be mapped. For optimal results, Contractor recommends conducting the
fieldwork in the springtime (i.e., April or May), if possible. This shall maximize our ability to
effectively detect and positively identify sensitive species, particularly plants.
Contractor shall conduct focused surveys for the Coachella Valley round-tailed ground squirrel
and Desert tortoise in accordance with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service survey protocol. No
trapping of the ground squirrel is proposed. Findings of the surveys shall be incorporated into the

bid, is presented by the Contractor.
2. The listed DBE becomes bankrupt or insolvent.
3. The listed DBE fails or refuses to perform the subcontract or furnish the listed materials.
4. The Contractor stipulated that a bond was a condition of executing a subcontract and the
listed DBE subcontractor failed or refuses to meet the bond requirements of the contract.
5. The listed DBE was the result of an inadvertent clerical error. The Contractor must have
asserted a claim of inadvertent clerical error in listing the subcontractor within two
working days after the bid opening and copies of that notice to both the subcontractor he
or she claims to have listed in error and intended subcontractor who had bid to the
Contractor prior to bid/proposal opening.
6. The listed DBE was not licensed as required by the State of California Contractor's
Licensing Board or failed to have the required permits or licenses as required by Federal,
State or Local governmental jurisdictions.
7. The work performed by the listed subcontractor is substantially unsatisfactory and is not
in substantial conformance with the scope of work to be performed, or the subcontractor
is substantially delaying or disrupting the progress of the work.
8. When the listed DBE is ineligible to work on a public works project pursuant to Section
1777.1 or 17777.7 of the Labor Code.
9. When it is in the best interest of the City of Palm Springs.

Contractor shall give notice in writing to the listed DBE subcontractor of the Contractor's request
to substitute and the reasons for the request. The notice shall be served by certified or registered
mail to the last known address of the subcontractor. The listed subcontractor who has been so
notified, shall have five working days within which to submit written objections to the substitution
to the Contract Manager. Failure to respond to a written objection shall constitute the listed
subcontractor's consent to the substitution.
