DATE: September 12, 2023
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Melissa Tigbao, PE, Public Works Director
Dan Sequeira, PE, Assistant Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AWARDING DESIGN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $800,000 EACH TO: 1) FEHR & PEERS, 2) INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP, INC., 3) KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC., 4) TJKM TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANTS, AND 5) W-TRANS TO PROVIDE
FEDERAL TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution awarding design professional services agreements in the amount of $800,000 each to: 1) Fehr & Peers, 2) Interwest Consulting Group, Inc., 3) Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., 4) TJKM Transportation Consultants, and 5) W-Trans to provide on-call federal traffic engineering services and authorizing the City Manager to execute same.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The ability to bring in consultants on an on-call, as-needed basis allows the City to provide better customer service to the public and to better manage workloads to deliver projects within allotted timeframes.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City anticipates using contract services of consultant firms to perform work on various traffic engineering related projects and efforts in the City of Vallejo. This type of work is usually variable in scope and may be short-term assignments or may be part of larger capital or planning projects.
In order to meet the current and anticipated needs for project management services on various projects, City staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for 11 different categories, including Traffic Engineering (Federal). Other categories will be awarded under separate action. Qualified consultants for the Traffic Engineering (Federal) category submitted a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) demonstrating their ability to perform a wide range of services, including but not limited to:
• Technical expertise and authority regarding special funding programs • Pedestrian and bicycle safety programs
• School safety programs
• Permit requirements for traffic signal projects
• Plans and specifications for new and revised traffic signal and lighting systems • Evaluating and approving the installation, removal, or replacement of signals, markings, protective structures, and streetlights
• Reviewing and approving subdivision and building plans/re-zoning requests for traffic impact • Reviewing traffic-related accident reports to identify remedies when appropriate • Oversee and develop Citywide traffic calming programs
Date: September 12, 2023
Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AWARDING DESIGN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $800,000 EACH TO: 1) FEHR & PEERS, 2) INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP, INC., 3) KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC., 4) TJKM TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANTS, AND 5) W-TRANS TO PROVIDE FEDERAL
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE SAME
The RFQ for On Call Consulting Services was released on February 27, 2023. Five SOQ’s were submitted by the due date of April 21, 2023, for the Traffic Engineering (Federal) category. Staff reviewed the SOQ’s and ranked each firm by scoring them based on the following criteria as listed in the RFQ:
• Firm’s relevant experience and familiarity with issues applicable to the City’s needs (50%) • Qualifications of the firm and assigned individuals (25%) • Fee Structure and cost effectiveness of the consultants (15%) • Reference Checks (10%)
The five firms, Fehr & Peers, Interwest Consulting Group, Inc., Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., TJKM Transportation Consultants, and W-Trans, were evaluated and deemed to possess all the requested areas of expertise listed above, have recent experience handling on-call services for municipalities, are available to commence services immediately, and have resources and staffing to complete assignments on a timely basis.
Although the Public Works Department has an approved and budgeted Traffic Engineer position, numerous attempts over the past years to recruit candidates to fill it have been unsuccessful and the Department has had to rely on consultants to complete critical duties. With increasing costs and urgent needs, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements with Fehr & Peers, Interwest Consulting Group, Inc., Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., TJKM Transportation Consultants, and W-Trans to provide on- call federal traffic engineering services in the amount not exceed $800,000 for each contract.
Each of the firms listed above have been notified that they are being recommended for a contract in the amount not to exceed $800,000. The contracts will have an expiration date of June 30, 2026, with options to extend for two one-year increments. The specific scope of services, schedule, and cost of work will be defined through statements of work for each assignment executed between the City and the consulting firm prior to work commencing on an assignment.
This action will authorize the City Manager to execute agreements that will establish a pool of professional consultants under contract with the City through June 30, 2026, with an option to extend the agreements for two one-year periods.
FISCAL IMPACT
This proposed action will not have any direct impact on General Fund. Funds to pay for these as-needed consultant services will come from approved Council budgets.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

4. ARTICLE XVIII Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Participation A. This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR Part 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the CITY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is 0.00%. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or sub-consultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10-O1: Consultant Proposal DBE Commitment , or in Exhibit 10-O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT. If a DBE sub-consultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE sub-consultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: DBE Information – Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal.
Refer to 49 CFR Part 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.
D. DBEs and other small businesses, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 are encouraged to participate in the performance of AGREEMENTs financed in Design Professional Services Agreement – On Call Traffic Eng Fed -Fehr & Peers
whole or in part with federal funds. The CITY, CONSULTANT or sub-consultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the CONSULTLANT to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this AGREEMENT, which may result in the termination of this AGREEMENT or such other remedy as the CITY deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
1. Withholding monthly progress payments;
2. Assessing sanctions;
3. Liquidated damages; and/or
4. Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non-responsible E. A DBE firm may be terminated only with prior written approval from CITY and only for the reasons specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f). Prior to requesting CITY consent for the termination, CONSULTANT must meet the procedural requirements specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f). If a DBE sub-consultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE sub-consultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
F. Consultant shall not be entitled to any payment for such work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE or by other forces (including those of Consultant) pursuant to prior written authorization of the CITY’s Contract Administrator.
G. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the AGREEMENT goal if it performs a commercially useful function (CUF) on the AGREEMENT. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement basis. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the AGREEMENT is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are Design Professional Services Agreement – On Call Traffic Eng Fed -Fehr & Peers
passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier. The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime CONSULTANT shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
K. Upon completion of the AGREEMENT, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the form entitled, Exhibit 17-F: Final Report- Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) First-Tier Subconsultants, certified correct by CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT’s authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Contract Administrator with the final invoice. Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty-five percent (25%) of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to CONSULTANT when a satisfactory “Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Sub-consultants” is submitted to the Contract Administrator.
L. If a DBE sub-consultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified sub-consultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a sub-consultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the sub-consultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to CITY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.
M.Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this section.
5. ARTICLE XXIX National Labor Relations Board Certification In accordance with Public Contract Code §10296, CONSULTANT hereby states under penalty of perjury that no more than one final unappealable finding of contempt of court by a federal court has been issued against CONSULTANT Design Professional Services Agreement – On Call Traffic Eng Fed -Fehr & Peers
within the immediately preceding two-year period, because of CONSULTANT’s failure to comply with an order of a federal court that orders CONSULTANT to comply with an order of the National Labor Relations Board.

An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal.

F. Consultant shall not be entitled to any payment for such work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE or by other forces (including those of Consultant) pursuant to prior written authorization of the CITY’s Contract Administrator.
G. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the AGREEMENT goal if it performs a commercially useful function (CUF) on the AGREEMENT. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement basis. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the AGREEMENT is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are Design Professional Services Agreement – On Call Traffic Eng Fed - Interwest
passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier. The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime CONSULTANT shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
K. Upon completion of the AGREEMENT, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the form entitled, Exhibit 17-F: Final Report- Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) First-Tier Subconsultants, certified correct by CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT’s authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Contract Administrator with the final invoice. Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty-five percent (25%) of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to CONSULTANT when a satisfactory “Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Sub-consultants” is submitted to the Contract Administrator.
L. If a DBE sub-consultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified sub-consultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a sub-consultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the sub-consultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to CITY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.
M.Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this section.

Caltrans A&I will then have up to six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT’s and/or the independent CPA’s revisions.
3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if Caltrans A&I is still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services.
In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.
4. CONSULTANT may submit to CITY final invoice only when all of the following items have occurred: (1) Caltrans A&I accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of CITY; and, (3) Caltrans A&I has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT MUST SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO CITY no later than sixty (60) calendar days after occurrence of the last of these items.

This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR Part 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the CITY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is 0.00%. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or sub-consultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10-O1: Consultant Proposal DBE Commitment , or in Exhibit 10-O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT. If a DBE sub-consultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE sub-consultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: DBE Information – Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal.
Refer to 49 CFR Part 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.
D. DBEs and other small businesses, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 are encouraged to participate in the performance of AGREEMENTs financed in Design Professional Services Agreement – On Call Traffic Eng Fed -Kimley Horn
whole or in part with federal funds. The CITY, CONSULTANT or sub-consultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts.

1. Withholding monthly progress payments;
2. Assessing sanctions;
3. Liquidated damages; and/or
4. Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non-responsible E. A DBE firm may be terminated only with prior written approval from CITY and only for the reasons specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f). Prior to requesting CITY consent for the termination, CONSULTANT must meet the procedural requirements specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f). If a DBE sub-consultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE sub-consultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
F. Consultant shall not be entitled to any payment for such work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE or by other forces (including those of Consultant) pursuant to prior written authorization of the CITY’s Contract Administrator.
G. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the AGREEMENT goal if it performs a commercially useful function (CUF) on the AGREEMENT. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement basis. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the AGREEMENT is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are Design Professional Services Agreement – On Call Traffic Eng Fed -Kimley Horn

F. Consultant shall not be entitled to any payment for such work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE or by other forces (including those of Consultant) pursuant to prior written authorization of the CITY’s Contract Administrator.
G. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the AGREEMENT goal if it performs a commercially useful function (CUF) on the AGREEMENT. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement basis.

To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the AGREEMENT is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are Design Professional Services Agreement – On Call Traffic Eng Fed - TJKM
passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier. The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime CONSULTANT shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
K. Upon completion of the AGREEMENT, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the form entitled, Exhibit 17-F: Final Report- Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) First-Tier Subconsultants, certified correct by CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT’s authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Contract Administrator with the final invoice. Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty-five percent (25%) of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to CONSULTANT when a satisfactory “Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Sub-consultants” is submitted to the Contract Administrator.
L. If a DBE sub-consultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified sub-consultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a sub-consultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the sub-consultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to CITY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.
M.Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this section.

This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR Part 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the CITY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is 0.00%. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or sub-consultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10-O1: Consultant Proposal DBE Commitment , or in Exhibit 10-O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT. If a DBE sub-consultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE sub-consultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: DBE Information – Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal.
Refer to 49 CFR Part 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.

whole or in part with federal funds. The CITY, CONSULTANT or sub-consultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the CONSULTLANT to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this AGREEMENT, which may result in the termination of this AGREEMENT or such other remedy as the CITY deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
1. Withholding monthly progress payments;
2. Assessing sanctions;
3. Liquidated damages; and/or
4. Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non-responsible E. A DBE firm may be terminated only with prior written approval from CITY and only for the reasons specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f). Prior to requesting CITY consent for the termination, CONSULTANT must meet the procedural requirements specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f). If a DBE sub-consultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE sub-consultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
F. Consultant shall not be entitled to any payment for such work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE or by other forces (including those of Consultant) pursuant to prior written authorization of the CITY’s Contract Administrator.
G. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the AGREEMENT goal if it performs a commercially useful function (CUF) on the AGREEMENT. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement basis. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the AGREEMENT is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are Design Professional Services Agreement – On Call Traffic Eng Fed -W Trans
passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier. The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime CONSULTANT shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
K. Upon completion of the AGREEMENT, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the form entitled, Exhibit 17-F: Final Report- Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) First-Tier Subconsultants, certified correct by CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT’s authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Contract Administrator with the final invoice. Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty-five percent (25%) of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to CONSULTANT when a satisfactory “Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Sub-consultants” is submitted to the Contract Administrator.
L. If a DBE sub-consultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified sub-consultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a sub-consultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the sub-consultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to CITY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.
M.Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this section.

The ability to bring in consultants on an on-call, as-needed basis allows the City to provide better customer service to the public and better manage workloads to deliver projects within allotted timeframes.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City anticipates using contract services of consultant firms to perform work on various engineering related projects in the City of Vallejo. This type of work usually varies in scope, and may be short-term assignments or may be part of larger capital or planning projects.
In order to meet the current and anticipated needs for project management services on various projects, City staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for eleven different categories, including Hazardous Materials.
Other categories will be awarded under separate action. Qualified consultants for the Hazardous Materials category submitted a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) demonstrating their ability to perform a wide range of services including but not limited to:
• Conduct pre-demolition hazardous materials surveys
• Prepare hazardous materials survey reports
• Prepare hazardous materials abatement specifications for project sites
The RFQ for On Call Engineering Consulting Services was released on February 27, 2023. Five SOQs were received by the due date of April 21, 2023, for the Hazardous Materials category. Staff reviewed the SOQs and ranked each firm based on the following criteria as listed in the RFQ:
• Firm’s relevant experience and familiarity with issues applicable to the City’s needs (50%)
