BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
On April 9, 2024, the City Council approved a consultant services agreement with Fehr & Peers to provide professional services supporting updates to the City’s Transportation Development Impact Fee ( “TDIF”) Program. This agreement, built upon prior consultant work initiated under a 2019 Council -approved agreement related to changes required by SB 743 regarding the calculation of transportation related development impact fees. The agreement included a budget of $112,500 and was subsequently amended on October 30, 2024, and December 5, 2025, to extend the term of the agreement.
Staff now recommend approval of a Third Amendment (Attachment 1) to expand the scope of work to address comments received from the development community and to incorporate recent updates that affect TDIF fee calculations. These updates include coordination and outreach; travel modeling to evaluate whether changes to the Main Street bridge over Wolf Canyon are warranted; confirmation of fee calculation assumptions; updates to land use and fund balance data; revisions to the TDIF fee calculation tool; and related project management services. The proposed work is intended to support implementation of updated TDIF rates prior to the contract expiration date of June 30, 2027.
The Third Amendment would add $168,920 to the agreement, increasing the total not -to-exceed authorization under the current agreement to $281,420. Funding for the amendment is provided by developer-funded TDIF revenues. All other terms and conditions of the agreement remain unchanged.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution amends the Consultant Services Agreement with Fehr & Peers for professional services and increases appropriations for this purpose.
The services will be funded from the available balances of the Eastern and Western TDIF f unds. The cost allocation between the Eastern and Western TDIF funds is based on the remaining fee program obligation as of the most recent nexus study for each TDIF, 86% and 14%, respectively. Appropriations by fund are summarized in the table below.
Funding Source Appropriation
Eastern TDIF Fund (590920) $ 145,271
Western TDIF Fund (590922) $ 23,649
Total Appropriation $ 168,920
