Agenda Item: 10
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
AGENDA REPORT
CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: Li
DATE: January 28, 2025
SUBJECT: 2025 CITYWIDE ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY -
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Joel Bareng
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
1. Award a contract to AGA Engineers, Inc., for the 2025 Citywide Engineering and Traffic
Survey, in an amount not to exceed $98,065.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney
approval.
BACKGROUND
California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22357 requires posted speed limits along public
roadways be established and justified by an Engineering and Traffic Survey (Survey). Per CVC
Section 40802, in order for posted speed limits to be enforceable by radar or laser, the Survey
needs to be updated every five years to ensure speeds reflect current conditions. The Survey can
be extended to seven years if local law enforcement meets certain criterion relating to the
training and calibration of radar/laser devices. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
(Sheriff's Department) meets this criterion; therefore the City's Survey is valid for seven years.
The last Citywide Survey was completed in October 2018 and adopted in February 2019.
Conducting the Citywide Survey is vital to the continued use of radar or laser enforcement by the
Sheriff's Department. Without a valid Survey, Los Angeles County Superior Court will not
uphold a speeding violation issued by the Sheriff's Department in which radar or laser
enforcement is utilized. In addition, if radar or laser is not used, the Sheriff's Department must
rely on less effective alternatives, such as pacing speeding offenders.
The scope of work for this project includes an accident rate analysis, field review, speed surveys,
and a final Engineering and Traffic Survey report.

RE: Proposal to Conduct 2025 Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey
Dear Ms. Abston:
In response to the City's Request for Proposal (RFP) dated October 4, 2024, AGA Engineers, Inc. (AGA) is
pleased to present to you this Technical Proposal to provide an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) for
207 locations in the City of Santa Clarita. As directed in the RFP, our Cost File and required forms are being
submitted to BidNetDirect as separate files.
We believe that AGA is a highly qualified and innovative firm that possesses all of the necessary capabilities to
complete the proposed project in a professional, timely, and cost-effective manner. AGA staff completed the
previous City of Santa Clarita Speed Survey projects (2000, 2003, 2005, 2012, and 2018) and also have
extensive experience in completing similar E&TS projects for several cities in Southern California.
AGA also believes that for the safety of the travelling public and the residents, the City should consider the
provisions of California Assembly Bill 43 (AB 43) which now provides the Cities more authority to reduce
speed limits on roads, including state highways.
We fully understand the very important legal aspects involved in this project. The product of the study will be
a legal document which will be acted upon by the City Council to formally adopt and/or change specific
speed limits at the surveyed locations. The report will be the document used by both the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Office and the local courts in the day-to-day legal defense activities of the established
speed limit.
The AGA Team will be headed by Mr. Ruben Perales, PE, TE, Vice President, who will serve as Project
Manager and be the City's main contact for the project. He has managed many other E&TS projects for
several agencies and as a result of this experience, he fully understands the importance of dealing with
traffic -related situations, including determining the appropriate posted speeds along city corridors. Mr.
Perales' contact information is shown below:

Introduction and Qualifications of Firm
Introduction
The City of Santa Clarita is seeking a traffic engineering consultant to conduct a citywide Engineering and
Traffic Survey (E&TS) in order to comply with the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and the California Manual
on Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) to establish or update speed limits on the City's streets. Our
proposed approach for this project, over and above complying with the specific relevant requirements of
the CVC and of the CA MUTCD for Streets and Highways, will be to:
• Meet with City staff and discuss the project completely, including any scheduling and other staff
concerns.
• Conduct field radar surveys under free flow traffic conditions only, using a certified radar
technician specializing in these tasks, with both personnel and equipment certified to conduct the
surveys.
• Conduct field review of all street segments to determine roadway description, adjacent land use,
roadway geometrics, and conditions not readily apparent for justification of speed limits.
• Evaluate speed limits by reviewing current traffic count data, a minimum of two years of accident
history (Crossroads) at mid -block locations, in conjunction with the speed survey data.
The objective of the proposed project is to review the existing
speed limits to validate and/or recommend changes to the speed
limits (increase, decrease, or no change) in accordance with the
requirements of the State of California, Department of
Transportation, CA MUTCD, Part 213.13 (Speed Limit Sign), and
CVC 627 and 40802, and sections 22348 through 22413. The
study will provide sufficient information to document that the
conditions of the latest edition of CVC Section 627 have been
satisfied and that other conditions not readily apparent to a
motorist are properly identified. The project will also adhere to the latest California Manual for Setting
Speed Limits. To legally use radar for speed enforcement, the changes must be justified by an engineering
and traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of the alleged violation or seven years if
an extension has been applied.
It is important to note that the recently adopted Assembly Bill No. 43 (AB 43) amended and added sections
to both the CVC and the latest version of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA
MUTCD) related to traffic safety and speed limits. The following are key highlights:
• Allows prima facie speed limit of 25 mph on State highways located in any business or residential
district.
• Authorizes Caltrans and a local authority to declare a speed of 20 or 15 mph on State highways.
• Authorizes a lower speed limit on a section of highway contiguous to a business activity district.
Definition of "business activity district" is identified in AB 43 text.
Page 1
Eel
Authorizes a local authority to further reduce the speed limit beyond the 5-mph reduction after
June 30, 2024, if certain conditions are met.
• Extends the validity of speed surveys from 10 years to 14 years if evaluated by registered engineer.
• Local authority may, by ordinance, retain the current speed limit or restore the immediately prior
speed limit if that speed limit was: (1) established with an engineering and traffic survey, and (2)
if a registered engineer has evaluated the section of highway and determined that no additional
general purpose lanes have been added to the roadway since completion of the traffic survey that
established the prior speed limit.
The product of the study will be a legal document which will be acted on by the City Council to formally
adopt and/or change specific speed limits at the surveyed locations. The report will be the document used
by both the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the local courts in the day-to-day legal defense
activities of the established speed limit.
The following pages outline our project approach, methodology, and the Team's specific experiences and
technical competence in more detail, along with references and representative projects in the order
specified by the RFP.

AGA Engineers, Inc. (AGA) is a California S Corporation with 17
employees, many of whom have worked together for at least
five years and the executives have worked together for over 20
years, which is a respectable indication of the stability and
compatibility of our team.
AGA was founded in 2020 by Mr. Chalap K. Sadam, former Vice
President and co-founder of Albert Grover & Associates, which
was founded in 1993. The new company was formed after the
g g passing of the founder and CEO, Mr. Albert Grover. After
acquiring certain assets from Albert Grover & Associates, and
under the leadership of Mr. Sadam, AGA has retained a similar culture and the practices that made our
transition seamless to all our clients— largely due to retention of our core team of senior and professional
staff who worked under the former company. Our engineers bring more than 30 years of expertise and
experience to AGA allowing us to continue to successfully work for our clients.
All work performed under this contract with the City will be conducted by employees located at AGA's
offices in Fullerton. AGA and our subconsultant, National Data & Surveying Services (NDS), have the
resources to perform all of the tasks listed in the Request for Proposals (RFP).
AGA is a multidiscipline engineering firm specializing in municipal and transportation engineering.
Through utilization of today's most sophisticated, computer -aided equipment by highly skilled and
talented professional engineers and technicians, we are able to provide clients with quality, cost-effective,
professional services in a timely manner. Our services are not just routine, but rather the application of
experience and knowledge to properly identify a problem and provide the most appropriate and cost-
effective solution. Each project is unique and carried out with the highest degree of pride and
professionalism with a dedication to satisfythe client's needs. We offer professional services ranging from

the planning and conceptual design stage through the construction supervision and "as -built" stage,
placing us among the forerunners in the full -circle service concept.
AGA's wide range of services offered can be divided into six
primary areas of expertise: traffic engineering, day-to-day
traffic signal operations, transportation planning, traffic signal
communication design, operational control of traffic signal
systems, and City Traffic Engineer staffing. While we are well
known and respected for our work in all of these areas, we are
perhaps best known for our widespread knowledge and
experience in the field of multijurisdictional traffic signal
design and coordination. It should also be noted that AGA
operates over 200 traffic signals on behalf of five jurisdictions
in Southern California. Those traffic signals are remotely
monitored and controlled from the Traffic Management
Center located in AGA's Fullerton office.

From installing the first flashing yellow arrow projects in Southern California, to ground -breaking bicycle
boulevard projects, to unique traffic calming and school zone safety projects, our team is committed to
finding the best solution to complex traffic and transportation challenges for our clients. This more
comprehensive view of our roles as traffic engineers, planners, and technicians has evolved from the
cumulative individual experiences of our staff while employed at various public agencies. The City will be
hard pressed to find another consultant with such far-reaching municipal traffic engineering, traffic
operations, and transportation planning experience in Southern California.
Our approach to providing professional services and projects is to do more than simply provide labor or
prepare design plans and study reports — we actually improve traffic operations and safety in everything
we touch. AGA is not a company that simply provides engineering labor to complete client designated
tasks; rather, AGA provides a high level of intellectual support to accomplish client objectives. AGA's
unique blend of Civil Engineers, Traffic Engineers, and skilled traffic signal system and communications
technicians provides a synergy which results in successful projects beyond client expectations.
Previous Experience

situations, including determining the appropriate posted speeds along
the City's corridors. Staff at AGA have completed many tasks similar or
identical to those anticipated under this contract, and have completed
such tasks on time, within budget, and in a manner that meets all the
requirements of the agency for which the work was completed, while at
the same time placing minimal time and effort requirements on agency
staff.
As part of Albert Grover & Associates, the AGA Team worked on the City of Santa Clarita's five previous
E&TS projects in 2000, 2003, 2005, 2012, and 2018. Within the last five years, the AGA Team has

Scope of Work and Methodology
Based on our extensive experience in conducting E&TS for various agencies throughout the years, the
following is the AGA Team's scope of work for the project.
All work under this contract will be performed under the direction and supervision of a qualified
Registered Civil Engineer/Traffic Engineer licensed in the State of California.
Task 1— Kick -Off Meeting
AGA will coordinate and conduct a kick-off meeting at City Hall with both City and Police Department staff.
At this meeting, the project objectives will be clarified, the project schedule will be finalized, and specific
requirements will be discussed. The City will provide Average Daily Traffic (ADT) counts, the most current
collision history (two years), and any other pertinent data needed for analysis.
AGA will prepare and distribute an agenda prior to the meeting and submit meeting minutes and a
participant list within a week after the meeting.
Task 2 - Accident Rate Analysis
Using the City -provided ADT counts and accident data, AGA will conduct
an analysis of the Accident Rate. For collision history analysis purposes,
only mid -block collisions are used. Mid -block collisions are defined as those
occurring outside of the 150-foot radius of signalized intersections near the
roadway segment being analyzed. This criterion excludes collisions that
may be traffic signal related in nature. The mid -block collision rate in terms
of "collisions per 1,000,000 vehicle miles of travel" for each segment
surveyed will be calculated and shown on the Engineering and Traffic
Survey summary sheets.
The following shows the collision rate calculation:
Collision Rate = Number of Midblock collisions x 10'
24-hour volume x 365 x segment length x number of years
Where:
• Number of mid -block collisions based on a minimum of three years
• 24-hour volume (both directions) for the survey segment
• Segment length in miles
A minimum of two years of collision data will be utilized to develop Actual Collision Rates for comparison
to the Average Expected Collision Rates which is detailed in the 2021 Crash Data on California State
Highways published by the California Department of Transportation. The Average Expected Collision Rates
per roadway type are summarized below:

A licensed Traffic Engineer will review all project segments to determine any roadway conditions not
readily apparent to motorists which would justify changing the proposed speed limit to the maximum
permitted under State established guidelines. These characteristics include but are not limited to the
following:
Street width and alignment
Channelization and striping patterns
Reversed super elevation
Roadside land use
Heavy pedestrians and/or trucks
Traffic flow
Frequency of driveways
Visibility obstructions
Roadway grade
On -street parking
The product of this review will be a summary of each of the segments and identification of the segments
which justify consideration for maximum increase/decrease of the recommended speed limits. In addition
to reviewing the roadway conditions not readily apparent to motorists, the AGA team will review the
locations of existing speed limit signs and will provide recommendations on any relocations or additions
of speed limit signs.
Task 4 — Spot Speed Surveys
The vehicle speed surveys will be conducted in accordance with the 2020 California Manual for Setting
Speed Limits published by the Division of Traffic Operations of the California Department of
Transportation, the CA MUTCD, and the CVC. AGA's subconsultant, NDS, will be conducting radar speed
surveys for all 207 segments. In addition, an allocation for an additional 15 segments
Englnec , 1— Page 10
A minimum of 100 bidirectional speed observations, with a minimum of 50
observations for each direction of travel, will be obtained for the designated
city street segments. Obtaining a minimum of 100 speed samples for each
street segment will ensure that there will be a 95% probability that the
sample data represents the population data for this type of study and the
actual behavior of the majority of motorists. For higher volume segments, a
minimum of 200 bidirectional speed observations will be obtained.
The studies will only be conducted during "good weather" conditions on weekdays (Monday — Thursday)
during the off-peak hours of 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM when school is in session, unless other specific time
limits are specified by the City. Each speed zone will be surveyed for representative free flow speeds; that
is, speeds not influenced by temporary conditions or construction work. The survey will utilize a traffic
radar/laser gun which is calibrated and certified periodically to achieve and maintain accuracy.
The field survey data will be marked on a radar speed survey field sheet and will contain the following
roadway segment information:
Adjacent land use types
Roadway geometrics
On -Street Parking
School Zone
Bike Route
Pedestrian and bicycle activity
Lane configuration
Median type
No Parking/Stopping restrictions
Truck Route
Bike lane facilities
General Comments
Task 5 — Prepare Draft Engineering and Traffic Survey Report
After compiling all pertinent data on the Segment Spot Speed Summary Table, and the Engineering &
Traffic Survey Sheets for all project segments, AGA will submit all survey sheets to the City for review. AGA
will discuss the findings with City staff and will review any comments/questions City staff may have on
recommendations shown on the survey sheets. The latest edition of the CA MUTCD (Revision 8) includes
guidelines to assist with the designation of such corridors.
A draft report documenting the Engineering and Traffic Study will be
submitted to the City for review. It will summarize the existing speed
limits and the recommended changes (increase, decrease, or no
change) in accordance with the requirements of CVC Sections 627,
40802(b), 22357, 22358, and AB 43 (included in the CVC). AGA will
also document any changes in the guidelines based on the current
California Manual for Setting Speed Limits and the current CA
MUTCD, if any.

Task 6 - Final Engineering and Traffic Survey Report
The report will be a legal document to formally adopt or change speed limits at the surveyed locations. It
will include an executive summary, a summary of recommendations in a tabular format for ease of
reference, specific recommendations with a description of the basis for that recommendation for each
roadway segment surveyed, and all other supporting data.
At a minimum, the report will include the following:
• Radar speed survey operational procedures
• Description of the purpose and methodology of Speed Zone establishment, including a discussion
of realistic speed zoning, speed traps, CVC requirements, etc.
• Description of the statistical analysis factors
• Description of the field data used in analyzing related roadway characteristics
• Collision history for the street segments
• Results and recommendations
• Summary of recommendations in both narrative and table form
As an added value to the City of Santa Clarita, AGA will prepare a citywide ADT map and citywide
speed map to summarize the data. A sample of this ADT map and Speed Map is included as an
attachment.
A meeting with City staff will be held to discuss the analysis results presented in the Draft E&TS Report.
AGA will address and incorporate the City's consolidated comments on the draft report into the final
report which will be provided to the City in both hardcopy and electronic formats. Another meeting with
City staff will be conducted for the presentation of the Final E&TS Report.
A final signed original and ten signed copies of the Final E&TS Report will be submitted to the City.
Traffic Commission and City Council Meetings
AGA will be available to attend one Traffic Commission meeting and one City Council Meeting to assist
City staff with presenting the speed survey results. We will also respond to any questions that
Commission/Council members may have.

adequately cover the Contractor's liability under this agreement. The full coverage and limits afforded
under Contractor's policies of Insurance shall be available to Buyer and these Insurance Requirements
shall not in any way act to reduce coverage that is broader or includes higher limits than those required.
The Insurance obligations under this agreement shall be: 1—all the Insurance coverage and limits carried
by or available to the Contractor; or 2—the minimum Insurance requirements shown in this agreement,
whichever is greater. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits and coverage
required, which are applicable to a given loss, shall be available to City.

3. INDEMNIFICATION
a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall defend (with legal counsel reasonably
acceptable to CITY), indemnify and hold harmless CITY and its officers, agents, departments, officials,
representatives and employees (collectively "Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, loss, cost,
damage, injury (including, without limitation, economic harm, injury to or death of an employee of
CONSULTANT or its subconsultants), expense and liability of every kind, nature and description that arise
from or relate to (including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs,
attorneys' fees, litigation expenses and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in
connection therewith and costs of investigation) that arise from or relate to, directly or indirectly, in whole
or in part, from: (1) CONSULTANT's performance of Services under this Agreement, or any part thereof;
(2) any negligent act or omission of CONSULTANT, any subconsultant, anyone directly or indirectly

Agreement, CITY may obtain such coverage at CONSULTANT's expense and deduct the cost of such
insurance from payments due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate pursuant to
TERMINATION section. In the alternative, should CONSULTANT fail to meet any of the insurance
requirements under this Agreement, City may terminate this Agreement immediately with no penalty.
g. Should CONSULTANT'S insurance required by this Agreement be cancelled at any point prior to
expiration of the policy, CONSULTANT must notify City within 24 hours of receipt of notice of cancellation.
Furthermore, CONSULTANT must obtain replacement coverage that meets all contractual requirements
within 10 days of the prior insurer's issuance of notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT must ensure that
there is no lapse in coverage.
