Item to be presented by:
SUBJECT: GOLDEN VALLEY AND SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD INTERSECTION/
INTERCHANGE FEASIBILITY STUDY—AWARD CONTRACT
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council award the engineering design services contract to ASL Consulting Engineers in
the amount of $98,130 and authorize a 20 percent contingency expenditure. A greater than
15% contingency rate is quoted due to the fact that no separate budget will be allocated to
cover the costs of City staff time spent on the project. Authorize the City Manager or
designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval. Increase estimated
revenues by $117,800 in account number 301-6193, and increase appropriations in account
4361-8110 by $117,800.
BACKGROUND
During the January 12, 1999 City Council meeting, Councilmembers directed City staff to
complete a feasibility study analyzing the traffic circulation and the design of the Golden
Valley Road intersection at Soledad Canyon Road. The following associated projects depend
on the geometric design of this intersection linking the two six -lane major highways:
1) Resolution No. 99-13: Resolution to vacate a portion of Soledad Street, west of Oak
Avenue — Decision pending outcome of this study (Item 21, January 12, 1999 City Council
meeting).
2) Golden Valley Road Project: Design of the northern portion of Golden Valley Road at
Soledad Canyon Road cannot be finalized until preliminary design of subject intersection is
complete.
3) Private Developments: Proposed developments adjacent to the subject intersection may
be impacted by the design. City staff cannot provide clear direction to applicants interested
in developing adjacent properties until the City has completed the geometric design of said
intersection.

Staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the subject feasibility study. Included in the
RFP is the requirement to develop several alternatives, each with adequate information to
show prospective City decision -makers the potential environmental, design, construction, and
business impacts, and consequences of each alternative. An RFP was distributed to the
interested firms on the City's Design Consultants List. Four firms submitted proposals (see
Exhibit "B"). Based on technical qualifications and methodology for the project, ASL
Consulting Engineers is the recommended firm.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
City Council may choose to postpone or cancel this study. Postponement will have significant
impacts on the aforementioned projects associated with this study. The results of this study
will provide the Council with adequate background information to make further decisions.
FISCAL IMPACT
The subject project is within the joint City/County Bouquet Bridge and Major Thoroughfare
(B&T) Construction Fee District, under the City's jurisdiction. Los Angeles County has
agreed to allocate district funds collected within County jurisdiction to finance the cost of this
feasibility study. No City funds will be allocated for this study.
Funds in the amount of $117,800 have been committed by the County and will be transferred
to the City's B&T funds.
