ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING TOWN MANAGER TO EXECUTE FIRST
AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH WILLDAN ASSOCIATES TO PROVIDE TOWN
ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution authorizing Town Manager to execute the first Amendment to Agreement with Willdan Associates
to provide Town engineering and traffic engineering services.
BACKGROUND:
In August 1993, Willdan Associates entered into an agreement with the Town (Attachment 2) to provide civil and traffic
engineering services. The consultant has asked to amend the contract to increase the hourly rate for the development
review services, general engineering services and traffic engineering services that are provided to the Town (Attachment
3). Other fees charged by Willdan Associates will not change.
DISCUSSION:
At the time the contract with Willdan Associates was originally executed, the rate for Senior Engineer was $55 per hour
and the rate for the Traffic Engineer was $70 per hour. The request from Willdan Associates is to raise the fee charged
to the Town for Development Review, to $75 per hour. Since the initial contract was entered into in 1993, several
different people at Willdan Associates work on projects for the Town. This work is now done by either a Division
Manager (who also uses the title Town Engineer), a Traffic Engineer or a Senior Engineer.
Additionally, since it has been over five years since the Town entered into its agreement with Willdan Associates, the
Town Attorney has advised the Planning Department staff that a review of the contract is in order. After the first of the
year, Requests for Proposals will be sent out to a number of engineering firms, in addition to Willdan Associates. A
new contract should be entered into before the end of the current fiscal year. The new contract will take effect after July
1, 1999.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES
January 12, 1999
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This action is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The balance in Purchase Order (P.O.) 99138, Account No. 3120-61011, (Attachment 4) should be adequate to pay
Willdan Associates the additional fees through the end of the 1998-1999 fiscal year. However, the existing P.O.
specifies rates for a Senior Engineer at $55 per hour and a Traffic Engineer at $70 per hour. The existing P.O. should
be cancelled and a new P.O. issued, setting the rate of $75 per hour for the positions of Division Engineer, Town (City)
Engineer, Traffic Engineer and Senior Engineer.
Additionally, the Finance Director is requesting that all bills be sent directly to the Finance Department, instead of to
the Planning Department. Appropriate wording has been included in the amendment to the agreement.

$75.00/hr - Town Traffic Engineer.

Special Projects
Each assignments budget is approved by the Town and
purchase orders are issued on a task by task basis.
As we have not adjusted our fee rates since the beginning of the contract, our request for this
contract adjustment and addendum is to increase one of the hourly billing rates charged for
development review services. We are requesting an increase In the rate charged for the Town
Engineer to $75.00/hr. All other fees and contractual provisions would remain the same.
Based on a recent request from a project applicant to provide a third party Building and Safety

contract be expanded to include Building and Safety plan checks at the prescribed 75% of Town
fee collected.
