BACKGROUND
In December 2016, the City of Santa Clarita (City) executed a funding agreement with the Los
Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) for Proposition C grant funds for
the design and construction of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Phase VII. The ITS
Phase VII project builds upon the successes of the ITS Phases I to V (ITS Phase VI will be
funded by Metro in a future fiscal year). This phase will enhance regional arterial traffic flows by
deploying a bicycle detection system, fiber optic communication system gap closures, connected
corridors, and integrated corridor management systems to enhance traffic operations in the City.
This project will be integrated into the City's Traffic Operations Center and share information
with the Los Angeles County (County) Information Exchange Network.
The goal of this project is to enhance the existing transportation infrastructure to meet the
objective of improving economic opportunity, environmental quality, and mobility throughout
the region. This project supports the Santa Clarita 2020 plan under the theme Building and
Creating Community.

The fiber optic communications gap closure will connect segments along Soledad Canyon Road,
Sierra Highway, and Haskell Canyon Road.
The bicycle detection system will be implemented at 12 signalized intersections:
1. Intersection of Soledad Canyon Road and Sierra Highway
2. Intersection of Soledad Canyon Road and Whites Canyon Road
3. Intersection of Soledad Canyon Road and Valencia Boulevard
4. Intersection of Valencia Boulevard and Magic Mountain Parkway
5. Intersection of Valencia Boulevard and McBean Parkway
6. Intersection of Via Princessa and Sierra Highway
7. Intersection of Sierra Highway and Newhall Avenue
8. Intersection of Bouquet Canyon Road and Newhall Ranch Road
9. Intersection of Newhall Ranch Road and McBean Parkway
10. Intersection of Newhall Ranch Road and Tibbitts Avenue
11. Intersection of Newhall Ranch Road and Copper Hill Drive
12. Intersection of McBean Parkway and Magic Mountain Parkway
The integrated corridor management system will coordinate operations and incident management
with California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the County to improve alternate
route plans, associated signal timing and flush plans, traveler information, and alerts to Caltrans
and Santa Clarita Transit.
The City will upgrade infrastructure to enhance operations for corridor management strategies.
The infrastructure upgrades will include detection and controller upgrades at the following
intersections:
1. McBean Parkway: Copper Hill Drive to Rockwell Canyon Road - 23 signals
2. Valencia Boulevard: Bouquet Canyon Road to Tourney Road - 10 signals
3. Newhall Ranch Road: Bouquet Canyon Road to Vanderbilt Way - 10 signals
4. Soledad Canyon Road: Sand Canyon Road to Bouquet Canyon Road - 20 signals
5. Golden Valley Road: Bouquet Canyon Road to Green Mountain Drive - 11 signals
As part of the connected vehicles exploration, this project will develop a concept of operations to
determine what strategies should be implemented for both integrated corridor management and
connected vehicles. It will also include the design for upgraded controllers and autonomous
vehicle -compatible communication.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) for design was issued on September 6, 2017. The RFP asked firms
to identify their relevant experience in similar projects and demonstrate their approach for this
design project.
On October 9, 2017, one firm submitted a proposal to the City. Staff reviewed the proposal and
based on their evaluations, scored the firm on a 100 -point scale.

Packet Pg. 65
Rank Company Score Location Cost
1. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. 92 Canoga Park, CA $382,116
The scoring system heavily emphasized the understanding of the following: scope and approach
to the required work; key development items; potential issues and resolutions; the consultant's
previous experience on similar projects and experience working with the City; qualifications of
the project team and their resources; and organization of the proposal. Additionally, each
consulting firm was asked to provide detailed hours and the scope of work required to prepare
the plans, specifications, and engineer's estimate.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the
project needs and provided a detailed scope of work and approach to the project. Kimley-Horn
analyzed the existing streets and identified key design factors that will need to be addressed in
the design. Kimley-Horn was previously hired by the City to design Phases I-V of the ITS
program and has established good working relationships with City staff.
Even though Kimley-Horn was the only firm to submit a proposal for this project, staff did not
see the need to re -advertise the RFP. Kimley-Horn has successfully completed many design
projects for the City; most recently the design for Intelligent Transportation System Phase V.
City staff was able to reach an agreement with Kimley-Horn at a fair and reasonable price.
Based on their design experience on previous City traffic projects and the completeness of their
proposal for this project, staff recommends the City Council award the design contract to
Kimley-Horn.
The requested contingency will cover any design modification required by Caltrans or the Los
Angeles County Department of Public Works, potholing street sections to explore conduit
locations, and any requested scope changes to the project.
California Government Code 4526 prescribes selection of architectural and engineering services
to be based on demonstrated competence, professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory
performance of the services required, and does not authorize the selection of professional
architect and engineering services based on cost. City staff believes they have negotiated a fair
and reasonable price with Kimley-Horn.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
As part of the Fiscal Year 2017-18 budget, funds were appropriated in the amount of $340,646 to
expenditure account C0052265-5161.001 (Proposition C 25% Grant) and $90,552 to C0052260-
5161.001 (Proposition C) to support the recommended contract.

1. Introduction
Project Background
The City's transportation program goal is to enhance the existing
infrastructure to meet the region's objective of improving
economic opportunity, environmental quality, and mobility
throughout the region. Part of the City's effort to achieve this
goal has been through the deployment of technology to enhance
operations.
Santa Clarita is the fourth largest city in Los Angeles County and
has many amenities that attract residents and businesses to
the community. It has been named the "Most Business Friendly
City in Los Angeles," the "Best City for Industrial Development,"
and one of the top places to live, according to Moneymagazine.
These accolades exemplify the success the City has experienced
in growing its residential and business population. One of the
side effects of the City's success has been increased congestion
and a change in travel patterns throughout the city. New
developments have led to building new arterials and improving
select interchanges. The problem is exacerbated due to the City's
constrained geography. The street network is irregular due to the
topography and the City is situated between two major freeways,
which causes additional congestion from cut -through traffic. The
lack of cut -through options presents a larger congestion problem.
The changing travel patterns and the need to respond to real-time
conditions has prompted the City to implement Phase V of the
City's Integrated Transportation System project.
The City has successfully employed a variety of Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS) techniques to relieve congestion and
improve air quality and traveler information. In partnership with
Metro, the City has deployed a communication infrastructure
backbone throughout the City that has been the foundation of
City of Santa Clarita I TCIT81017.17

technology deployment to manage congestion and improve
the traveler's experience. The prior project phases included
synchronizing signals on several routes throughout the City,
deploying system detection as part of a traveler information and
incident management website, and improvements to the existing
Transportation Management Center (TMC). The website provides
real-time arterial travel times and incident information. The
projects implemented previously will be the foundation for Phase
V of the project. These investments provide most of the needed
infrastructure for the adaptive system.
Phase I developed an Intelligent Transportation Management
Systems (ITMS) and Communications System Master Plan. This
project summarized the alternatives available to the City for the
design and layout of the new ITMS and Communications System
and recommended an ultimate system for implementation by the
City.
Phase II and IIA were completed in 2008, and included the
design of a web -based traveler information system, CCN
cameras, Changeable Message Signs (CMS), and System
Detection.
Phase III, funded with Metro Call for Projects dollars, re -
synchronized some major corridors in the area and built a
redundant fiber-optic communication system by interconnect
gap closure, along specific routes, that ensure the ITMS would
continue to function without any disruption—even during times
when there is a break in one segment of the fiber-optic cable link.
This project was fully integrated into the existing ITS infrastructure
in 2013.
Phase IV improved mobility and operation on some major
corridors in the project area through signal synchronization, as
well as additional fiber -gap closure. The Transparity adaptive
system was selected and deployed on Rye Canyon/Copper
Hill, Whites Canyon/Plum Canyon, and Seco Canyon Road to
better respond to the traffic—and to provide more efficient
service to the public—along those routes. The adaptive system
included the integration into the City's existing signal system at
the Transportation Management Center (TMC) and the cost to
upgrade controllers with the appropriate firmware. The traveler
information website is more robust and useful to the general
public with the addition of the proposed system detection on
KimlepMorn
Newhall Ranch Road/Golden Valley Road, Rye Canyon Road/
Copper Hill Road, Seco Canyon Road, and Plum Canyon Road/
Whites Canyon Road. The additional detection was utilized to
provide arterial travel times. This feature was integrated with
the City's traveler information website. The project followed
the Regional ITS Architecture and used current standards and
protocols.
Phase V was built on the existing infrastructure, including
improving regional arterial traffic flows, by deploying an adaptive
system to enhance operations and respond to real-time traveler
demands in the City. The Transparity adaptive system will
be better able to respond to the varying peaks and irregular
travel demands. The Transparity adaptive system includes the
integration into the City's existing signal system at the TMC and
the cost to upgrade controllers with the appropriate firmware.
The Transparity adaptive system will expand the City's ability to
actively manage traffic and to add additional routes to the City's
real-time traveler information website. In addition, this project also
proposes to deploy automated turning movement count stations
by installing state of the art technology along select corridors to
allow for future expansion via monitoring and controlling individual
intersections to help improve the efficiency of the Transparity
adaptive system. The automated traffic counters with detection
capabilities will be used in areas near activity centers and with
variable traffic flows. The project will provide a more robust
and reliable transportation system with reduced delays, fewer
incidents, and increased driver satisfaction.
Phase VII will install a bicycle detection system to enable the City
to meet the needs of bicycles and encourage the use of non -
motorized transportation in the City. The fiber optic gap closure
will bring full communication redundancy to the City. One element

of the project is an Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) project
that includes many components. This project will allow the City
to respond in a more integrated manner to major events on the
freeways, which often cause backups on City streets. It will also
allow the City, Santa Clarita Transit, and Caltrans to respond in a
more coordinated manner to proactively manage the situation.
This will improve the experience for all travelers, regardless
of mode, and minimize the impact of major events on the
transportation network. The ICM project also includes technology
elements to adapt the corridors for Connected Vehicles (CV). The
corridors will be instrumented as Connected Corridors to enable
vehicle to field communication to improve platooning, decrease
greenhouse gas emissions, and improve safety. The technology is
evolving, but may include upgraded corridors and detection with
DSRC or cellular communication. The slight decrease of vehicle
speeds within a platoon increase the safety for pedestrians and
bicyclists crossing the corridors at major intersections.
Project Approach
Our approach to completing this assignment is focused on
delivering high-quality plans that require minimal review efforts
from City staff, and no surprises during implementation that
would delay the schedule or increase anticipated cost. We have
significant experience in combining traditional traffic engineering
measures with state-of-the-art technologies to provide relief from
traffic congestion on surface arterials through better management
of existing facilities. We will complete the project consistent with
the Federal guidelines, Regional ITS Architecture, and use current
standards and protocols.
Our team members understand your requirements and
expectations from our experience working with you in Phases
II, IIA, III, IV, and V and are familiar with the detailed description
of the project outlined in the Metro funding application. Detailed
descriptions of our tasks are provided in the Work Statement
section of this proposal.

Kimley-Horn has developed signal timing for 132 intersections
on 11 corridors as part of this project. The project includes the
establishment of guidelines for evaluation and development of
Bi -Tran signal timing plans for the AM, midday, PM, and weekend
peak periods. Kimley-Horn completed the evaluation of signal
operation under existing and optimized conditions; before and
after study comparison; and the development of coordination
plans to reduce travel time and delay along the project corridors.
Synchro model and TSS software were used for the analysis and
time -space diagrams were developed for the preparation of the
recommended timing sheets. The project included downtown
corridors in the Newhall neighborhood of Santa Clarita.
The project consisted of three phases: Conceptual planning/
design; ITS elements design; and deployment of information
subsystem. The Kimley-Horn team developed an ITS concept
design plan that included the planning of infrastructure to collect
relevant information for the system and then use it for traffic
management, incident management, and traveler information.
Kimley-Horn also expanded the data collection component by
adding (in terms of design and deployment) system detector
stations, CCTVs, portable Changeable Message Signs (CMS),
City's lane closure and construction reporting system, and crash
information system to the City's existing Intelligent Transportation

Advanced Traffic Management and ITS
Project, Pomona Valley, CA
The major components of the program are briefly summarized
below:
ATMS — to establish the capability for traffic signals on regionally
significant arterials to be remotely operated and monitored
by responsible local agencies within the region. An ATMS is a
software package that provides these capabilities to agency staff.
Agency Integration — to connect each agency to Los Angeles
County's Information Exchange Network (IEN) for data sharing,
monitoring of other agency's traffic signals and improving
the ability of local agencies to coordinate their daily traffic
management and occasional incidentlevent management
activities.
Advanced ITS Components — the added capabilities of visually
monitoring current traffic conditions during congestion and
providing travelers with current traffic condition information.
Kimley-Horn will provide PS&E for 11 CCN cameras and CMS for
this project.
Communications — the infrastructure required for all of these
components to work effectively is the communication network. The
communications for this program will be accomplished through
existing/proposed interconnect, phone drops designs, new leased
connections, and an Ethernet network at the Local Control Centers
(LCC). Kimley-Horn will provide PS&E for over 7,400 LF of fiber-
optic design and phone drop design for 220 signal locations within
the Pomona Valley.
Control Centers — Kimley-Horn identified a location for an LCC
to be established within existing or proposed office space from
which the local traffic can be managed utilizing these tools. A
sub -regional TMC will be located at the City of Diamond Bar that
will act as their LCC. Additionally, it will house all equipment that is

3. Work Plan
The Kimley-Horn team's scope of services consists of the
planning and design efforts to implement the City's next phase of
technology deployment. The following detailed scope of work with
its tasks and subtasks is anticipated to complete the project.
Task 1: Preliminary Investigation
Subtask I a: Bicycle Detection System
Recommendations
Kimley-Horn will investigate a representative selection of the
numerous bicycle detection systems that are currently on the
market. A literature and performance review of bicycle detection
systems will be conducted on the various systems and each
option will be analyzed and evaluated in terms of specific features
that are relevant to the City's traffic signal system and needs.
Our analysis will take into account accuracy of the data received,
types of bicycles detected (Carbon -fiber, etc.), and limitation
to each system (weather, daylight, etc.). Our team will prepare
a report that presents the results of the analysis and makes
recommendations for the implementation of the bicycle detection
system.
Subtask 1a Deliverable:
• Bicycle Detection System Recommendations Report
Subtask 7b: Field Review
Kimley-Horn will obtain and review readily available, existing
reference documentation from the City and Caltrans, including
improvement plans (street, signal, interconnect, signing/striping,
etc.), aerial photos, signal timing sheets, right-of-way information,
and other applicable data.
Senior -level traffic and ITS engineers at Kimley-Horn along with
a field crew from our Electrical sub -Contractor, Taft Electric
Company, experienced in completing projects through the
construction stage, will perform field analysis of the project
intersections and segments. The Kimley-Horn team will field
review the traffic signals, interconnect systems, and the roadway
segments along the project limits.
Taft Electric Company will locate and identify conduit sizes along
Haskell Canyon Road from Bouquet Canyon Road to Rose Canyon
Lane, Sierra Highway from Soledad Canyon Road to Racquet

Subtask 3c: Development of Integrated
Corridor Management
The City of Santa Clarita is building on the existing ITS baseline by
implementing Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) strategies
to coordinate operations and incident management with Caltrans
and Los Angeles County. The ICM strategies will improve
operations during incidents, events, and severe congestion by
using alternate route plans, associated signal timing and flush
plans, traveler information, and alerts to Caltrans and Santa
Clarita Transit.
The Kimley-Horn team will identify ICM strategies and the
associated infrastructure upgrades to enhance operations for
corridor management strategies. The infrastructure upgrades
will include detection and controller upgrades at the following
intersections:
1. McBean Pkwy: Copperhill Dr to Rockwell Cyn Rd (23 signals)
2. Valencia Blvd: Bouquet Cyn Rd to Tourney Rd (10 signals)
3. Newhall Ranch Rd: Bouquet Cyn Rd to Vanderbilt Way (10

Subtask 3d: Connected Vehicles (CV)
Maturity Model Assessment
The City of Santa Clarita is exploring the use of Connected Vehicle
(CV) technology to meet the needs of future travelers with vehicle
to field communication to platoon vehicles and create more
efficient operations than currently available through traditional
signal timing.
The Kimley-Horn team understands that our transportation system
is going through some major changes due to advancements
in vehicle, roadway, and communications technologies. Short-
range dedicated radio and mobile phone technology will allow
drivers, pedestrians, transit passengers, freight operators, and
transportation management personnel to communicate with each
other within a connected transportation network.
Connected vehicles technologies will provide numerous
additional benefits including safety and multi -modal operational
improvements. Therefore, the City of Santa Clarita must take
a systematic approach to address these upcoming disruptive
technologies and the potential benefits and impacts to the
transportation system, current and future transportation programs,
and funding programs.
In the vehicle -to -infrastructure communication platform, dedicated
short-range communications (DSRC) is a communication
technology element. DSRC allows rapid communications (up to
10 times per second) between elements of a connected vehicle
network, in particular for safety critical applications. Cellular
phone technology is also anticipated to facilitate the use of
many connected vehicle concepts. With safety as a primary goal,
connected vehicle technology is anticipated to aid motorists in
actively avoiding crashes and other incidents. DSRC technology
will enable innovative mobility deployments such cooperative
cruise control and vehicle platooning, increasing roadway
throughput and reducing congestion and delay. Coordination
between vehicles and infrastructure will mitigate unnecessary
breaking and stopping at intersections, resulting in reduced fuel
consumption and lowered emissions. Road weather information
gathered from the various nodes of the system will be gathered
and analyzed by transportation management centers, allowing
for advanced warnings and more efficient deployment of
maintenance staff and improved operations of their roadway
systems. A system of connected vehicles has the potential to
transform the way we travel through the creation of a safe,
interoperable wireless communications network.
KimlepMorn
Connected vehicle technology will be incorporated for multiple
transportation modes of travel including pedestrians, bicyclists,
vehicles, freight, managed lanes, street car, and buses. KIMLEY-
HORN TEAM will provide the City of Santa Clarita with an
understanding of future CV technologies, including vehicle -to -
infrastructure (V21), vehicle -to -vehicle (V2V), vehicle -to -everything
(V2X), vehicle -to -pedestrians (V2P) communications, autonomous
vehicles technologies, and Smart Cities transportation applications
that may have an impact with their ITS infrastructure and roadway
network so that the City of Santa Clarita can plan accordingly to
integrate CV technologies and applications as part of upcoming or
future technology upgrades at signalized intersections, roadways,
managed lanes, street car, and freeways.
In the V21 platform, various technology applications can support
and/or enhance the City's Signal Synchronization Program. If the
City of Santa Clarita have the ability to provide the traffic signal
phase and timing information or SPaT from the signal controller
to the connected vehicles using a roadside unit inside the traffic
signal controller cabinet, the SPaT messages will allow drivers to
see the traffic signal information as they approach the intersection
at the posted speed.

The key constructs include three steps:
1. Self-evaluation: identification of the "state of play" of the
organization on each of the CMM dimensions.
2. Capability level determination: Identification of the
capability level and the strategy for moving from the current
level to the next.
3. Improvement guidance: identification of the selected
actions within the strategy that are relevant to the agency's
goals.
Three dimensions of the TSMO CMM are institutional:
• Culture, including technical understanding, leadership,
outreach, and legal authority.
• Organization and Staffing, including organizational
structure, staff development, and recruitment and retention.
• Collaboration, including relationships with public safety
agencies, local governments and peers, MPOs, and the private
sector.

For each of these six dimensions, four criteria -based "levels" of
capability maturity are identified:
1. Level 1 — "Performed." Activities and relationships are
largely ad hoc, informal, and champion driven, substantially
outside the mainstream of other DOT activities.
2. Level 2 — "Managed." Basic strategies and applications
are understood; key processes support the requirements
for effective implementation; key technologies and core
capacities are under development, but limited internal
accountability and uneven alignment of accountability with
external partners.
3. Level 3 — "Integrated." Standardized strategies and
applications implemented in a prioritized manner and
managed for performance; Technical and business
processes developed, documented, and integrated into DOT
activities; partnerships aligned.
4. Level 4 — "Optimizing." TSMO is considered a full,
sustainable core DOT program priority, established on the
basis of continuous improvement with top-level management
support and formal partnerships.
We will meet individually and collectively with the stakeholders
to conduct the CV CMM assessment — up to three meetings.
We will assess CV applications as shown in the latest version
of Architecture Reference for Cooperative and Intelligent
Transportation (ARC -IT) in effect at the time of contract execution.
We will determine specific actions for each of the CMM
dimensions to develop a roadmap to CV implementation.
The Kimley-Horn team will prepare Draft and Final CMM
assessments. The Draft and Final Reports will include an
executive summary that includes recommendations for the City of
Santa Clarita V21 future roadmap.

Quality Control and Quality
Assurance
Since its founding, Kimley-Horn has aggressively pursued its
commitment to quality for every task, deliverable, and service
provided by the firm. Recognizing the importance of careful quality
control, Kimley-Horn developed a quality control/quality assurance
manual that every project manager is required to know and use.
We strive for our procedures to facilitate the delivery of high-
quality services that satisfy your needs. There will be no learning
curve relative to quality for the Kimley-Horn team.
Synopsis of our QC/QA Program
Our program is based on the philosophy that:
QUALITY IS ACHIEVED by adequate planning,
coordination, supervision, and technical direction;
proper definition of the project requirements and
procedures; understanding the scope of services; and
the use of appropriately skilled personnel performing
work functions carefully.
QUALITY IS ASSURED through the careful
surveillance of work activities by individuals who are
not directly responsible for performing the initial efforts.
QUALITY IS CONTROLLED by assigning a manager
to evaluate all work and procedures followed while
providing the services.
QUALITY IS VERIFIED through independent reviews
by a qualified staff member of the processes,
procedures, documentation, supervision, technical
direction, and staffing associated with the project
development.
Kimley-Horn recognizes that each project has its own
expectations that need to be understood, and then exceeded.
Kimley-Horn's quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) measures
are built in to our project management processes. The measures
include:
• Internal project quality controls
• Project peer reviews
• Continuous quality improvement (CQl) initiatives
• QC/QA Program
City of Santa Clarita I TCIT81017.17
PROPOSALFOR
Design Services for the
Intelligent Transportation
System Phase VII
Project No. C0052
Our QC/QA program will include the review of project documents
and supporting data by our project manager and key staff who will
direct individual tasks. This will include, but not be limited to, the
following procedures:
• The project manager will be given the responsibility to be
thoroughly familiar with requirements and will be given the
authority to direct the project team and call upon our corporate
resources, as required, to satisfy the project needs.
• An internal "kick-off" meeting will be held with key individuals
assigned to the project to clearly define the scope of services,
set sub -task responsibilities, and establish the schedule.
• Project meetings and decisions will be documented by a
"paper trail." All documents will be supported by appropriate
data that will clearly show the choices evaluated and the basis
for our recommendations.
• Supporting calculations, text, or data used to develop
a document will be signed and dated by the individual
involved when the services are performed. Also, telephone
conversations and meetings that include or affect a project
decision will be documented. Minutes of meetings will
be promptly prepared and distributed to attendees for
confirmation of decisions made and then filed after appropriate
corrections are made.
• Team network review will be undertaken. Team network quality
control is the day-to-day peer review that is undertaken by the
project team. Documents, analyses, letters, etc., are reviewed
by a team member other than the individual preparing the
document analyses. Review of significant analyses and
documents are provided by the task manager for each task.
The individual doing the checking will sign and date the
documents and prepare a record of the findings. The findings
will be resolved by the originator of the document and checked
again until corrected. Quality control review comments will be
maintained in a quality assurance file. This network review will
be enhanced by weekly or bimonthly full team meetings with
the project manager.
