The consultants will <br />primarily function as an extension of City staff on tasks related to transportation. <br />Seven consulting firms responded to the City’s RFQ. After evaluation of the proposals, DKS, <br />Fehr & Peers, and W-Trans ranked highest based on presentation, responsiveness, approach, <br />capacity, ability, availability, experience, and references. <br />A blanket purchase order will be requested for each individual consulting firm as tasks are <br />assigned. Consultant costs will be charged to specific projects, each with a designated <br />appropriation. The arrangement will allow the division to efficiently and expeditiously complete <br />CIP projects. <br />Current Agency Policies <br />·Maintain and enhance San Leandro’s infrastructure <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />·Policy T-2.2 Context Sensitive Design.
