PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On April 14, 2014, City Council approved Resolution No. 12924, authorizing the City to
enter into an agreement between the City and HDR Engineering for the Travel Demand
Model Evaluation (Phase 1). On June 23, 2014, City Council approved Resolution No.

Travel Demand Model Update.
BACKGROUND:
The Urban Transportation Planning Division solicited proposals from qualified consultants to
complete an initial evaluation of the PACOG travel demand model between January 29,
2014 and February 26, 2014. The City has previously entered into Phase 1 and Phase 2
agreements with HDR Engineering totaling $183,055 to implement an upgrade to the travel
demand model that will be utilized to refine travel trip forecast modeling. The final phase of
the agreement is to integrate the information, analysis, and data into the PACOG 2040 Long
Range Transportation Plan. The Scope of Work for this phase will also include assistance
by HDR Engineering in the completion of the PACOG 2040 Long Range Transportation
Plan that is scheduled to be adopted by the PACOG Board at the end of February 2015.
The City Urban Transportation Planning Division has reviewed the proposal for the
completion of the Phase 3 Travel Demand Model Upgrade & PACOG Long Range
Transportation Plan, and has determined that the proposal meets the requirements for
responsiveness, time sensitivity, and cost to complete the Project.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Agreement covers the Phase 3 Scope of Work for the Project totaling $60,558. The
cost for the professional services will be paid from the Urban Transportation Planning
Projects Budget, Project TP1426.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.

Modeling Sections participated in the initial review of the four proposals received for the
Project in April of this year and concurred with the selection of HDR Engineering.
