DATE: January 26, 2021
SUBJECT: AWARD CONTRACT FOR THE DESIGN OF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL
AT COPPER HILL DRIVE AND DEER SPRINGS DRIVE, PROJECT
C4016
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Joel Bareng
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
Award the design contract to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., for the Traffic Signal and
Fiber Optic Interconnect, Copper Hill Drive and Deer Spring Drive Project, Project C4016,
in the amount of $61,727, plus a contingency of $3,273, for a total contract amount not to
exceed $65,000.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney
approval.
BACKGROUND
The Traffic Signal and Fiber Optic Interconnect, Copper Hill Drive and Deer Spring Drive
Project, Project C4016, will provide the design of a traffic signal for the intersection of Copper
Hill Drive at Deer Springs Drive, and fiber optic interconnect on Copper Hill Drive from Haskell
Canyon Road to David Way at Bouquet Canyon Road.
In 2012, the City of Santa Clarita (City) annexed an unincorporated portion of Los Angeles
County (North Copper Hill Annexation), which included a segment of Copper Hill Drive from
Haskell Canyon Road to David Way. Copper Hill Park, which was part of this annexation and
constructed by the County of Los Angeles, is located on the south side of Copper Hill Drive at
Deer Springs Drive. Prior to annexation and thereafter, the City received numerous traffic
concerns from residents with regard to pedestrian crossings on Copper Hill Drive to and from the
park. Over the years, pedestrian crossings at this location have increased since the park was
upgraded with shade and play structures. Pedestrian crossings have also increased as a result of

the recently constructed Archery Range at Haskell Canyon Open Space, which is adjacent to the
park, on the north side of Copper Hill Drive.
The design and ultimate construction of a traffic signal at this intersection will enhance traffic
safety for pedestrians, motorists, and bicyclists. The fiber optic interconnect will allow City staff
to communicate to the traffic signal from the City's Traffic Operations Center, located at City
Hall.
On October 1, 2020, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was advertised on BidNet and posted to the
City's website. On November 2, 2020, the City received seven proposals. All seven proposals
were reviewed and evaluated by staff, utilizing the new Caltrans procedures for Architectural and
Engineering (A&E) consultant selection and ranking. Based on the evaluation criteria set forth in
the RFP and the A&E procedures, the following is a summary of the firms' rankings:

The rating system heavily emphasized the understanding of the required scope of work,
experience with similar projects, qualifications of the project team and their resources, and
organization of the proposal.
Based on their past experience with developing traffic signal plans and the completeness of their
proposal, staff recommends the City Council award the contract to Kimley-Horn and Associates,
Inc. (Kimley-Horn). Kimley-Horn demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the project needs,
provided a detailed scope of work, and identified a qualified project team. In addition, they
provided a reasonable schedule of work.
California Government Code 4526 prescribes selection of A&E services to be based on
demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory
performance of the services required, does not authorize the selection of professional A&E
services based on costs, and does not require the cost proposals to be sealed. However, state and
federally -funded projects, such as this, require the City to follow the guidelines in the Caltrans
Local Assistance Procedure Manual (LAPM). In the Consultant Selection section of the LAPM,
it states, "Each consultant's cost proposal must remain sealed until negotiations commence with
that particular consultant." Therefore, unless the recommended action to award to the top most -
qualified firm is not approved, the other cost proposals submitted must remain sealed. Per the
guidelines of the LAPM, staff opened Kimley-Horn's sealed cost proposal and reached an
agreement at a fair and reasonable price for the services requested in the RFP.

Kimley-Horn assisted the City of Santa Clarita with the analysis and design of a dynamic travel lane on Soledad Canyon Road at Sierra Highway.
The intersection currently has a dedicated right -turn lane; however, during certain times of day, through volume queuing far exceeds queuing for
the right -turn movement. To reduce delay and congestion, the City wanted to examine the possibility of changing the lane assignment between a
right -turn and a shared through/right-turn movement.
Kimley-Horn performed a traffic analysis to identify the optimal time periods for each type of lane operation. Our team then prepared conceptual
design plans to identify the signage and communications required to safely and effectively operate such a configuration. This truly innovative
project, designed to maximize the capacity of the transportation network, includes a series of blankout and static signs connected to the signal
controller to notify drivers of the appropriate lane to utilize and what movements are allowed. Kimley-Horn also prepared plans and cut -sheets for
the blankout signs and operation of the dynamic lane system.

Bike
This project was awarded a federal grant to improve sidewalk and bicycle connectivity, as this stretch of road is one of a few City separate
crossings under Caltrans Route 101 linking north to south City limits. The City had ranked this project as a high priority based on pedestrian traffic
volumes, construction difficulties, and proximity to schools and public facilities with missing sidewalk. The project included new
sidewalk, curb ramps, and restriping Class II bike lanes along Rancho Road. Bicycle buffers and green pavement markings were utilized to
enhance awareness. A traffic signal or a roundabout was considered at the southbound Caltrans on/off-ramp intersection. Additional traffic signal
modifications were included at the northbound Caltrans on/off-ramps. The project required a Caltrans encroachment permit, Permit Engineering
Evaluation Report (PEER) forms, environmental Preliminary Environmental Study (PES), and California Environmental QualityAct/National
Environmental Policy Act (CEQA/NEPA) documents. Kimley-Horn provided civil, traffic, landscaping, and environmental services.

The intersection of Kanan Road and Agoura Road serves as the gateway to the City of Agoura Hills and the Santa Monica Mountains, and plays
an important role in supporting the mobility of the region. Due to heavy congestion, the City requested us to evaluate Kanan Road and Agoura
Road intersection for various alternatives and based upon our recommendation selected a conventional intersection layout due to its operational
benefits. Kimley-Horn was retained by the City to evaluate the intersection for various alternatives to relieve congestion. Through this contract, we
have provided design phase services including data collection; preparation of a VISSIM microsimulation model for the intersection; and preparing
the intersection design PS&E at 35%, 65%, and 95% stages, which include utility plans, street plans, stormwater and drainage details, landscape
plans, signing and striping plans, traffic signal design plan, erosion control, street lighting, and an irrigation plan. Upon our recommendation,
the City selected a conventional intersection layout due to its operational benefits. We have also assisted the City with supplemental EIR
documentation, right-of-way documentation, and bidding and construction support. Kimley-Horn supported the City at City Council meetings,
including helping prepare graphics and presentations and responding to questions from Council members and the public.

.Project rig°-triiri
The City of Santa Clarita is seeking the services of a well -qualified consultant to design a traffic signal for the intersection of Copper Hill Drive at
Deer Springs Drive as well as a traffic signal interconnect system that allows for traffic signal coordination along Copper Hill Drive between Haskell
Canyon Road and David Way and along David Way from Copper Hill Drive to Bouquet Canyon Road. The City has initiated this project in response
to numerous traffic and safety -related concerns raised by residents with regards to crossing Copper Hill Drive to and from Copper Hill Park. The
park is located south of Copper Hill Drive. A review of vehicular and pedestrian volume data suggests that as a result of upgrades to the park that
provide more play areas and recreational activities, pedestrian crossing at this location has increased over the years. The opening of an archery
range at the City's Haskell Canyon Space has also contributed to additional vehicular and pedestrian volumes. The traffic counts collected in
mid-2019 suggest that an average of 50 pedestrians cross Copper Hill Drive at this intersection during weekdays. Over the weekend, the number
of daily pedestrian crossings increases to about 80 when more visitors utilize the park and archery facilities. The installation of traffic signal with
appropriate phasing will provide for a safe pedestrian crossing at this intersection.
Additionally, the historical collision data for the past five years (2015 to 2019) indicates that there were two collisions, both of which were
broadside, that occurred at the Copper Hill Drive and Deer Springs Drive intersection. Installation of a traffic signal, which clearly assigns the right-
of-way to the conflicting traffic, will both increase safety measures for pedestrian movement and reduce the potential risk of broadside collisions.
Lastly, there are multiple unsignalized intersections along Copper Hill Drive between Haskell Canyon Road and David Way. In conjunction with an
interconnect system, the new traffic signal at Deer Springs Drive will allow for better vehicle platooning and create more regular gaps in traffic
along Copper Hill Drive. This will bring additional safety benefits for the vehicles that turn to and from these unsignalized approaches.
Contrary to the general belief that a signal warrant analysis is used as sole justification to install a traffic signal, Section 4C.01, Paragraph 06
of the CA-MUTCD stipulates that a traffic signal installation is warranted where a signal will improve the overall safety and/or operation of the
intersection. As described above, the safety and operational benefits of a traffic signal at the Copper Hill Drive and Deer Springs Drive intersection,
well justifies this installation.
.Project r'
Our approach to completing this assignment will focus on delivering high -quality plans that require minimal review efforts from City staff and
proactively recognize and address potential issues that would delay the schedule or increase anticipated costs. We have significant experience in
combining traditional traffic engineering measures with specialized roadway designs to improve safety and provide relief from traffic congestion
on surface arterials through better management of existing facilities. We will complete the project consistent with the City guidelines and use
current standards and protocols while protecting the interest of the City. Crucially, we will collaborate with all divisions and agencies affected
by the project, including but not limited to CIP, Traffic, Engineering, and LMD, to address potential concerns. Kimley-Horn understands the City's
requirements and expectations through our experience working on multiple similar projects with the City for the last 15 years. The exhibit below
demonstrates our project team's proposed improvements for the intersection of Copper Hill Drive and Deer Springs Drive. Detailed descriptions of
our tasks are provided in the Work Statement section of this proposal.
