March 12, 2025
Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Ardurra Group, Inc. for an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) Update
Prepared By:
Jimmy Chung, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the City Council authorizes the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Ardurra Group, Inc. and all related necessary documents , for the City's Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) Update.
Summary
In accordance with the California Vehicle Code (CVC), the City of Eastvale conducts Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS ) to ensure that speed limits remain enforceable and compliant with state requirements. The City’s most recent E&TS Survey was approved by the City Council on January 26, 2022, and several street segments are now due for reevalua6on. Addi6onally, two new segments on Limonite Avenue, west of Archibald Avenue, have been added to the City's roadway network and will need to be surveyed for establishing the speed limit. A few roadway segments fron6ng the major development project such as Leal and Walmart are undergoing changes, such as restriping or widening, which alter their characteristics, will also require a resurvey for continued enforcement.
The scope of work will update a total of seventeen (17) roadway segments, nine (9) of which were last updated in the City of Eastvale's 2018 E&TS and will expire in June 2025; five (5) of which were last updated in the City of Eastvale's 2021 E&TS with four (4) needing upda6ng due to changed roadway characteris6cs from offsite development-related roadway widenings/City improvements and one (1) being split from a larger segment due to different roadway characteris6cs; one (1) of which was last updated in the City of Eastvale's 2022 E&TS and needs upda6ng due to changed roadway characteris6cs from a new raised median; and two (2) new segments that were recently 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752 951.361.0900 |
eastvaleca.gov
14 constructed. The following roadway segments are to be studied:
1 .
65th Street between Archibald Avenue and Sumner Avenue
2 .
Archibald Avenue between Bluff Street and Wind River/Grapewin Street 3 .
Archibald Avenue between Schleimsan Road and Bellegrave Avenue 4 .
Cantu-Galleano Ranch Road between Hamner Avenue and the I-15 Freeway 5 .
Goodman Way between Cantu-Galleano Ranch Road and Hamner Avenue 6 .
Hamner Avenue between Limonite Avenue and Bellegrave Avenue 7 .
Hamner Avenue between Bellegrave Avenue and Cantu-Galleano Ranch Road 8 .
Hamner Avenue between Cantu-Galleano Ranch Road and Riverside Drive 9 .
Hamner Avenue between Riverside Drive and Philadelphia Street 10 .
Harrison Avenue between Limonite Avenue and Blossom Way 11 .
Limonite Avenue between Hellman Avenue and the Cucamonga Creek Channel 12 .
Limonite Avenue between the Cucamonga Creek Channel and Archibald Avenue 13 .
Limonite Avenue between Archibald Avenue and Sumner Avenue 14 .
Limonite Avenue between Sumner Avenue and the East City Limit 15 .
Riverside Drive between Hamner Avenue and Archibald Avenue 16 .
Scholar Way between Citrus Street and Schleisman Road
17 .
Schoalr Way between Limonite Avenue and Bellegrave Avenue
The 6ming of the E&TS study is being affected by offsite roadway widenings by private developments and public improvements. To address the situa6on, the seventeen (17) segments have been divided into three (3) phases listed below, reflec6ng when the traffic data is expected to be collected, based on the status of the roadway construc6on. A separate E&TS will be prepared for the street segments in each phase. However, since it is unknown when any of the construc6on will actually be completed, the segments in a phase may change, to an earlier or later phase as construc6on is actually completed. The goal of this project is to include as many of the segments in Phase 1 as possible and minimize the lapsing.
Phase 1
New Street Segments to Establish Speed Limits:
1 .
Limonite Avenue – between Hellman Avenue and Cucamonga Creek Channel 2 .
Limonite Avenue – between Cucamonga Creek Channel and Archibald Avenue
Expiring Street Segments Requiring Reevaluation:
1 .
65th Street – between Archibald Ave and Sumner Ave (Segment 2) 2 .
Goodman Way – between Cantu-Galleano Ranch Rd and Hamner Ave (Segment 19) 3 .

Hamner Avenue – between Cantu-Galleano Ranch Rd and Riverside Dr (Segment 24) 5 .
Riverside Drive – between Hamner Ave and Archibald Ave (Segment 38) 6 .
Scholar Way – between Citrus St and Schleisman Rd (Segment 43)
Street Segment Requiring Reevaluation due to Splitting Off the End of a Segment:
1 .
Harrison Avenue - between Limonite Avenue to Blossom Way 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752
951.361.0900 |
eastvaleca.gov
15 Street Segment Requiring Reevaluation due to change in characteristic:
1 .
Archibald Avenue - between Bluff Street and River/Grapewin St (Segment 7) 2 .

1 .
Limonite Avenue – between Sumner Ave and East City Limit (Segment 32) 2 .
Hamner Avenue – between Riverside Dr and Philadelphia St (Segment 25)
Street Segment Requiring Reevaluation due to change in characteristic:
1 .
Hamner Avenue - between Limonite Ave and Bellegrave Ave (Segment 22) 2 .
Scholar Way - between Limonite Ave and Bellegrave Ave (Segment 45)
Phase 3
Street Segments Requiring Reevalua6on due to expira6on of the exis6ng speed limit and change in characteristic:
1 .
Limonite Avenue – between Archibald Ave and Sumner Ave (Segment 31) 2 .
Archibald Avenue - between Schleisman Road to Bellegrave Avenue (Segment 9)
Each phase will have a separate E&TS report prepared, which will be submiMed separately for City Council approval. This will allow the updated speed limits on the unaffected segments to be approved before the current speed limits expire.
Background
To complete the E&TS update, staff recommends approving a PSA with Ardurra to ensure speed limits remain enforceable and compliant in accordance with the CVC and CA MUTCD requirements.
The CVC requires speed limits to be established based on a E&TS Survey rather than arbitrary methods (CVC Sec6on 22350). These surveys evaluate roadway condi6ons, traffic paMerns, and driver behavior through three key elements: (1) spot speed radar survey, (2) collision rate analysis, and (3) roadway segment field review to iden6fy roadway characteris6cs not readily apparent to motorists. Ardurra will conduct the E&TS Survey and provide the necessary analysis to establish compliant speed limits that enhance public safety. This effort will ensure the City’s traffic surveys remain current, suppor6ng effec6ve traffic management and enforcement while allowing flexibility in speed limit adjustments based on evolving roadway conditions.
Ardurra's scope of work includes upda6ng fiNeen (15) roadway segments from the City’s previous E&TS Survey and incorporate changes resul6ng from recent roadway improvements. Addi6onally, two (2) newly constructed segments along Limonite Avenue will be included, bringing the total to seventeen (17) segments.
Scope of Work:
Reviewing applicable state guidelines and regula6ons (CA MUTCD & CVC), including recent legislative changes affecting speed limit setting (AB 43 and AB 1938). 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752 951.361.0900 |
eastvaleca.gov
16 Collec6ng and analyzing traffic data in phases to account for ongoing roadway construc6on and development-related modifications.
Preparing updated reports to support speed limit recommenda6ons in compliance with state regulations.
Enforceability of speed limits via radar/lidar by comple6ng necessary updates before exis6ng surveys expire.
Eastvale Municipal Code Sec6on 4.06.090 authorizes the City to procure professional services through any means deemed appropriate by the finance director, including but not limited to direct nego6a6on. Approval of this contract is recommended by City staff on the basis of Ardurra Group, Inc.'s demonstrated exper6se, familiarity with Eastvale’s roadways, and cost-effec6ve proposal. The proposed agreement ensures the E&TS Survey will be completed before the expira6on of current speed surveys to maintain enforceability. Upon comple6on, staff will return to the City Council with any necessary speed limit adjustment recommendations.
Environmental
Approval of the agreement is categorically exempt from California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities.
Strategic Plan Action - Priority Level: 2
| Target #: E
| Goal #: G
Improve traffic mobility and management.
Fiscal Impact
The total cost for the City's E&TS Update will not exceed $60,000, which includes a proposed base cost of $53,570 plus a con6ngency amount of $6,430, which includes data collec6on, analysis, repor6ng, and coordina6on with City staff and law enforcement. Funds are available in the General fund, Operating Budget, Contract Services Account Number 100-320-6490.
