ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE TOWN
MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MESITI-MILLER ENGINEERING, INC.
TO PERFORM DESIGN ENGINEERING SERVICES IN CONNECTION
WITH THE SANTA CRUZ AVENUE/BACHMAN AVENUE
INTERSECTION AND GRAYS LANE IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FOR
AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $57,700.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution authorizing the Town Manager/Executive Director to execute a Professional
Services Agreement with Mesiti-Miller Engineering, Inc. to perform design engineering services in
connection with the Santa Cruz Avenue/Bachman Avenue Intersection and Grays Lane Improvement
Projects for an amount not to exceed $57,700.
BACKGROUND:
In 1996 the Council/Agency approved the Downtown Streetscape Master Plan developed by
Landscape Architect Paul Rodrigues of Santa Cruz. The initial implementation phase of the plan
occurred in 1997 along the south end of North Santa Cruz Avenue between Main Street and Bean
Avenue. The plan envisions new sidewalks using what is referred to as a "Villa Hermosa" style,
choked -down intersections to slow traffic and make it easier for pedestrians to cross Santa Cruz
Ave., new raised planter boxes with street trees, new lighting fixtures at crosswalk locations, and
new street furniture such as benches, trash receptacles and bollards.

On June 5, 2000, the Council/Agency approved a list of capital projects with recommended funding
levels that it intends to complete over the remaining 32 year life of the Central Los Gatos
Redevelopment Project. Included in this list was $2.25 million identified for Downtown
Beautification Improvements that is comprised of the following five projects:
• Santa Cruz Avenue/Bachman Avenue Intersection Improvements
• Grays Lane Improvements
• Town Plaza Renovation
• Main Street/University Avenue Intersection Improvements
• Santa Cruz Avenue/Wood Road Traffic Circle
The total funding for all of the projects on the approved list ($18 million present value) was based
on the estimated revenue that would flow to the Redevelopment Agency through the remainder of
its existence. On September 11, 2000, staff reported that the $18 million revenue estimate was
recalculated and increased to $25.2 million as a result of revised assessed valuation figures received
from the County Assessor's Office. Finally, on November 6, 2000, the Council/Agency accepted
staff's recommendation that the Downtown Beautification Improvements be the next project
scheduled for implementation, specifically those elements of the project that are closer to design
completion. Among these are the Town Plaza Renovation, the Santa Cruz Avenue/Bachman Avenue
Intersection Improvements, and the Grays Lane Improvements.
DISCUSSION:
This report presents staff's recommendations for proceeding with the final design of the Santa Cruz
Avenue/Bachman Avenue Intersection and Grays Lane Improvement Projects. Given the similar
nature of both projects and their close proximity to one another, staff recommends that the two
projects be consolidated into a single project, the scope of which would include the following:
Grays Lane -
• Reconfiguration to a one-way (westerly) street at Santa Cruz Ave.
• Wider sidewalks between Santa Cruz Ave. and Parking Lot 4 to meet ADA
accessability standards
• Pavement reconstruction and repairs between Santa Cruz Ave. and University Ave.
Santa Cruz Ave./Bachman Ave. Intersection -
• Installation of new curbs, planters, crosswalks and landscaping
• Elimination of the eastbound right turn lane to better align Bachman Ave. on both
sides of Santa Cruz Ave.
• Installation of a 4-way stop
• Installation of pavement and storm drainage improvements to accommodate the
intersection modifications
• Relocation of the bus stop on the west side of Santa Cruz Ave. further south

Staff considered two firms to complete the final design of the consolidated project because of both
firms' involvement in preliminary design activities performed to date. Eventually, staff selected the
firm of Mesiti-Miller Engineering, Inc. of Santa Cruz to complete the final design of the project.
This firm was chosen because of its exceptional design talents demonstrated on similar projects that
staff has successfully completed with them; the first-hand knowledge of both projects that key staff
members of the firm have; the strength of the design team assembled for the project, particularly the
landscape architect; and the relationship that the firm has with Paul Rodrigues, allowing for his
guidance to be sought during the final design process. Based on a review of the Downtown
Streetscape Master Plan and preliminary design work done to date, staff has negotiated a scope of
services and compensation with Mesiti-Miller Engineering, Inc. to complete the final design of the
project. The proposed agreement contemplates that the final design would be completed in two
phases, a Design Development Phase and a Construction Documents Phase that would last for
approximately 19 weeks.
The Design Development Phase would advance the final design to approximately 50% completion
at the end of roughly 12 weeks. During this phase of the design process, staff proposes forming a
working group comprised of representatives from the Town's Parks and Planning Commissions, as
well as the Chamber of Commerce and downtown business community, to interface with staff during
the design process. The members of the working group would assist staff in identifying and
resolving critical design issues and concerns early on, reviewing and commenting on the design, and
communicating on the design development with each of their respective boards and commissions.
The Construction Documents Phase would then complete the final design and result in the
preparation of plans, specifications and cost estimates suitable to bid the project for construction.
During this phase, staff would continue coordinating with the working group to review the final
design to ensure that all comments and concerns are addressed, and with the Council/Agency who
would ultimately approve the final design and authorize advertising the project for construction bids.
The proposed agreement has been reviewed and approved by the Town Attorney. Thus, if the
Council/Agency is satisfied with the selection of Mesiti-Miller Engineering, Inc. to complete the
final design, the scope of services defined in the agreement, and with the not -to -exceed
compensation amount of $57,700, then it may approve the agreement by adopting the attached
Resolution. If this occurs, then work on the project would proceed immediately. The Design
Development Phase would then be complete around the end of July, and the final design complete
in mid to late September. Beyond then, the project could be bid and a construction contract awarded
as early as next January, after the 2001 holiday season. Under this scenario, construction would
occur between winter and early summer which should minimize construction related problems for
the downtown merchants. Nevertheless, construction coordination issues and phasing opportunities
will be explored during the design process to mitigate conflicts with parking and traffic circulation
during construction to the maximum extent practicable.

CONCLUSION:
The Downtown Streetscape Improvements, coupled with the renovation of the Town Plaza, represent
significant achievements for the Town's Redevelopment Agency and another milestone in the
recovery of the downtown after the Loma Prieta earthquake. As such, it is recommended that the
Agency adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Town Manager/Executive Director to execute
a Professional Services Agreement with Mesiti-Miller Engineering, Inc. to perform design
engineering services in connection with the Santa Cruz Avenue/Bachman Avenue Intersection and
Grays Lane Improvements for an amount not to exceed $57,700.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Sections 153 01(c) and 15304(b) of the State CEQA
Guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The adopted Capital Improvement Program for the Agency includes $500,000 for Storm Drain
System Improvements. The construction of that project is now complete and staff estimates that the
final construction cost will run approximately $400,000. As such, it is possible to use the savings
from the storm drain project to fund the design fees for the Downtown Beautification Improvements
contemplated in the proposed agreement. Funding for the construction of the project will be
considered by the Council/Agency during the upcoming hearings on the proposed budget and CIP
for FY 01-02.

Exhibit A
Proposal
Project Understanding
This project basically consists of roadway, sidewalk, and landscaping improvements at
and adjacent to the intersection of Bachman and Santa Cruz Avenue and the
intersection of Grays Lane and Santa Cruz Avenue. We will extend the improvements
along Grays Lane down to University Avenue. The scope of the improvements to be
constructed is as generally outlined in the attached Schedule of Proposed
Improvements identified as Exhibit One.
Our work will generally include the land surveying, civil engineering and landscape
architectural services necessary to prepare construction documents including plans,
specifications and estimates for use in competitive bidding and construction of this
project. All surveying services will be furnished by RBF Consulting (RBF). All
landscape architectural services will be furnished by our subconsultant, Joni L.
Janecki and Associates, Inc. (JLJA). Our work will be completed in several phases. A
brief summary of the services we intend to provide during each phase follows.
Phase One, Design Development will generally begin with preparing preliminary
calculations and drawings, meeting with the Town and other members of the project
design team as needed, finalizing the details of the design, and an evaluation of the
civil engineering impacts of the configuration developed for this project. Development
of the civil system will include analysis and preparation of preliminary engineering
calculations, drawings and outline specifications. The end result of our efforts during
this phase will be to prepare a set of civil drawings including plans, cross sections and
details showing the typical configuration and details of the proposed improvements.
These drawings will be about 50% complete when compared to the final drawings.
Once the civil configuration has been approved, we will begin the final civil design.
Phase Two, Construction Documents will basically consist of completing our
engineering analysis, preparing the final calculations, drawings, and specifications and
coordinating the civil design with the landscape architectural designs.
Scope of Proposed Services
The scope of our services is based on a review of existing as -built drawings,
preliminary drawings prepared by Willdan in the spring of 2000, observations made
during a visit to the sites, and discussions with you. Based on this information, we
intend to provide the following basic services:

Exhibit A
Proposal
Project Understanding
This project basically consists of roadway, sidewalk, and landscaping improvements at
and adjacent to the intersection of Bachman and Santa Cruz Avenue and the
intersection of Grays Lane and Santa Cruz Avenue. We will extend the improvements
along Grays Lane down to University Avenue. The scope of the improvements to be
constructed is as generally outlined in the attached Schedule of Proposed
Improvements identified as Exhibit One.
Our work will generally include the land surveying, civil engineering and landscape
architectural services necessary to prepare construction documents including plans,
specifications and estimates for use in competitive bidding and construction of this
project. All surveying services will be furnished by RBF Consulting (RBF). All
landscape architectural services will be furnished by our subconsultant, Joni L.
Janecki and Associates, Inc. (JLJA). Our work will be completed in several phases. A
brief summary of the services we intend to provide during each phase follows.
Phase One, Design Development will generally begin with preparing preliminary
calculations and drawings, meeting with the Town and other members of the project
design team as needed, finalizing the details of the design, and an evaluation of the
civil engineering impacts of the configuration developed for this project. Development
of the civil system will include analysis and preparation of preliminary engineering
calculations, drawings and outline specifications. The end result of our efforts during
this phase will be to prepare a set of civil drawings including plans, cross sections and
details showing the typical configuration and details of the proposed improvements.
These drawings will be about 50% complete when compared to the final drawings.
Once the civil configuration has been approved, we will begin the final civil design.
Phase Two, Construction Documents will basically consist of completing our
engineering analysis, preparing the final calculations, drawings, and specifications and
coordinating the civil design with the landscape architectural designs.
Scope of Proposed Services
The scope of our services is based on a review of existing as -built drawings,
preliminary drawings prepared by Willdan in the spring of 2000, observations made
during a visit to the sites, and discussions with you. Based on this information, we
intend to provide the following basic services:

TOWN PLAZA RENOVATION PROJECT/CONT. (Item 16 continued)
Speakers and Council Comments continued:
Mrs. Decker would like the rest room issue studied further as other interested parties have kept that
from occurring over the years for various reasons which may no longer be viable considerations at this
time. She also brought up the issue of the fountain and safety concerns associated with its depth and
design. She asked what the time line was for completion of the new fountain and if the Town needed
to keep the existing fountain in operation during this time.
Mr. White noted that the fountain would remain empty for about a year before the new one is
operational. This is due to the high cost of electrical repair. Staff will review the safety issues
involving this fountain and consider filling in the structure until the new one is ready to be built.
Mr. Pirzynski asked that consideration for user friendly, low risk water facilities that children can
enjoy themselves at be explored.
Mr. Attaway asked that the present fountain be treated as we did the fire truck in Oak Meadow. He
noted that he has never seen a claim involving Plaza fountain and he does not want to deprive the
community of there fountain this summer while waiting for the new construction.
Mr. Glickman requested acceleration of the project for safety reasons.
Mr. White reported that staff would return to Council with various options concerning the treatment
of the existing fountain.
Ray Davis, resident, spoke of the hazards of using recycled water in a public fountain and the health
concerns associated with young children playing in this type of environment.
Lewis Hernandez, 180 Calle Margarita, asked for bathrooms and baby changers for people with
children in the park or at least a place to wash your hands. A sterile bathroom in the park for
transients would be appreciated.
Shirley Henderson, Antiquarium on Main, asked that Council please leave the fountain until after the
Music in the Plaza Program. Asked that this fountain be recharged but that Town move forward on
the new fountain.
Ms Figone, Town Manager, noted that the safety issues involving the fountain would be reviewed and
a report would return to Council. The subject of bathrooms would be deferred at this time but might
return to Council for consideration in the future.
Motion by Mr. Attaway, seconded by Mrs. Decker, that Town Council/Redevelopment Agency
adopt joint Resolution 2001-49/2001-3RD entitled, RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF LOS
GATOS/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS APPROVING AN
AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH THE DESIGN
OF THE TOWN PLAZA PROJECT. (Mesiti-Miller Engineering). Carried unanimously.

Les White, Interim Public Works Director, noted that the 4 way stop at Bachman and Santa Cruz had
been removed from the plans by Council in February when the plans had been approved. Traffic
reports had shown that this configuration would cause grid lock in the downtown.
