FISCAL IMPACT The Capital Improvement Program budget for FY 2000-2001 has allocated sufficient funds for these services within the right of way phase of the project. The right of way phase for the Irvine Boulevard / Newport Avenue Intersection Enhancement Project (CIP 7118) is funded by a combination of Measure M Competitive Funds and Measure M Turnback Funds. BACKGROUND The proposed project consists of improvements to the intersection of Irvine Boulevard and Newport Avenue from west of Holt Avenue to west of Charloma Avenue along irvine Boulevard, and from Wass Street to First Street along Newport Avenue. Refer to the attached location map, marked Exhibit A. Proposed improvements include widening for an additional through lane in each direction and additional right and left turn lanes. To accommodate the widening, the existing curb will be moved back on both sides of each street in the range from 8 to 10 feet near the intersection. The Preliminary Engineering Report was accepted by the City Council on November t, 1999. The report examined all of the affected properties and estimated the level of property acquisition needed for the proposed project. The report estimated the proposed project would need right of way from 17 properties. A public scoping meeting was held at which adequate response to public comments was given. Subsequent meetings were held with some of the affected business owners. As a follow-up in July 1999, over 100 letters were sent to all surrounding property owners and affected agencies notifying them of the current status of the proposed project. Consultant Services Agreement. for Right of Way Appraisal Services for lrvine Boulevard/ Newport Avenue Intersection Enhancement Project (CIP No. 7118) January 16, 200z Page 2 An appraisal report for this project was originally a part of the ASL Engineers Consulting Service Agreement for final design. However, the subconsultant providing this service could not complete the scope. Thus the scope and cost from the ASL Agreement is being deleted and staff is recommending that the City contract directly with an appraiser to complete this effort. DISCUSSION On October 22, 2000, a Request for Proposal was sent to a total of three (3) Consulting Appraisers: The Reliance Group, C.R. Wilson and Associates, and Parkcenter Reality Advisors. The Request for Proposal contained the required work scope for the Appraisal Report. Ali proposals were received and reviewed in accordance with the City's accepted process and procedures. The Reliance Group was selected based .upon the qualifications and experience of their project personnel and demonstrated competence with similar projects. A fair and reasonable fee has been negotiated. It is recommended that the City Council execute a Consultant Services Agreement with The Reliance Group to prepare an appraisal report for the lrvine Boulevard / Newport Avenue Intersection Enhancement Project (CIP 7118) for a not-to- exceed fee of $31,100.00, subject to approval by the City Attorney. .,~~im D.
