REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Travis Hopkins, City Manager
VIA: Chau Vu, Director of Public Works
PREPARED BY: William Janusz, Principal Civil Engineer
Subject:
Approve and Authorize the execution of Professional Service Contracts for On-Call
Transportation Engineering Consulting Services with Advantec Consulting Engineers, Inc.,
AGA Engineers, Inc., Fehr & Peers, FPL and Associates, Inc., H.W. Lochner, Inc., and LG2WB
Engineers, Inc. dba Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers
Statement of Issue:
The Public Works Department requires on-call transportation engineering consulting services for as
needed support to assist with the design and construction of capital improvement projects, which are
identified in the annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and other traffic engineering services.
Financial Impact:
The City's adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/2026 Capital Improvement Program Budget totals $63.6
million for approved projects citywide. Each approved CIP project has a budget containing sufficient
funding for design, environmental, engineering, construction, project management and other required
costs. The six (6) recommended engineering contracts, totaling $6.0 million, will be funded within
each project's individual CIP budget as needed or as included in other budgeted operational tasks.
As such, no additional funding is needed by this action.
Recommended Action:
If A) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a $1,000,000 "Professional Services
Contract Between the City of Huntington Beach and Advantec Consulting Engineers, Inc. for On-Call
Transportation Engineering Services", and,
31c B) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a $1,000,000 "Professional Services
Contract Between the City of Huntington Beach and AGA Engineers, Inc. for On-Call Transportation
Engineering Services", and,
C) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a $1,000,000 "Professional Services
Contract Between the City of Huntington Beach and Fehr & Peers for On-Call Transportation

D) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a $1,000,000 "Professional Services
Contract Between the City of Huntington Beach and FPL and Associates, Inc. for On-Call
Transportation Engineering Services", and,
* E) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a $1,000,000 "Professional Services
Contract Between the City of Huntington Beach and H.W. Lochner, Inc. for On-Call Transportation
Engineering Services", and,
F) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a $1,000,000 "Professional Services
Contract Between the City of Huntington Beach and LG2WB Engineers, Inc. dba Linscott, Law &
Greenspan, Engineers for On-Call Transportation Engineering Services".
Alternative Action(s):
Do not authorize the contracts and direct staff accordingly. Budgeted capital improvement projects
could be delayed until new contracts are approved.
Analysis:
On October 9, 2025, the City advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call
Transportation Engineering Services. Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) were requested and
submitted in compliance with Chapter 3.03 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. Twenty (20)
Statements of Qualifications were received for transportation engineering services. In accordance
with qualifications-based selection procurement, per the City of Huntington Beach Municipal Code,
Section 3.03, "Professional Services", the Public Works Department established a review board.
Statements of qualifications were then evaluated and ranked by the review board. The top six (6)
firms were selected.
The six (6) contracts recommended are for design services for capital improvement projects. These
services have historically been used to supplement City staff to meet annual Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) goals, act as an extension of City staff and provide the required expertise for unique
projects. Each project is evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if these as-needed contract
services are necessary.
Typical tasks for on-call transportation engineering consultants include the design of traffic signals,
street lighting, geometric roadway design, signing and striping plans. They may also be assigned
speed zone surveys, traffic safety studies, traffic signal coordination plan preparation and other
specialized traffic engineering studies. The proposed contract amounts are a not-to-exceed amount
for a three-year term with no guarantee of work or expenditure of the entire amount. Funding for any
and all of these contract services is only through City Council authorization in the budget approval
process.
Environmental Status:
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project.
