SUBJECT: Design services budget for the Railroad Transportation Center and Phase Il
Bike Path projects
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Increase the budget for design services for the Railroad Transportation Center and Phase II Bike
Path projects from $90,000 to $103,000 and authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant Services
Agreement with Boyle Engineering Corporation to complete the work
DISCUSSION
On January 5, 1999, the City Council authorized the Public Works staff to distribute an RFP for
consultant services to design the Railroad Transportation Center and Phase II of the Railroad Bike
Path. The Council authorized the CAO to award a contract to the selected consultant, if the cost of
consultant services is within the engineer's estimate of$90,000.
The Public Works Department received two consultant proposals for this project, one from Boyle
Engineering Corporation and another from RRM Design Group. A selection committee carefully
reviewed each proposal and determined that Boyle Engineering should be hired for this project
Boyle's initial cost estimate for design services was$91,256.
Staff carefully reviewed Boyle's work program and cost proposal and determined that changes to
their initial proposal were necessary to cover all aspects of the required work, including soils
studies. Boyle revised their initial work program and cost proposal which now totals $98,386.
Staff recommends that a 5% contingency factor be included for this project, bringing the total
project budget to$103,000.
FISCAL EKPACT
The cost of design services for these projects will come from State grant finding (SHA dollars
and/or Proposition 116 dollars). The total available grant finding for all aspects of these two
projects(land acquisition,design and conshvction)is$2,098,000.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council may direct staff to further negotiate a lower price with the Consultant and/or scale
back consultant services,or the Council may abandon the project

FROM: John Ewan
SUBJECT: Liaison Report: APCD Meeting
At its meeting of March 24, 1999,the following items were approved by the APCD Board:
• District Rule 218, Federal Requirement for Hazardous Air Pollutants needed to meet federal
requirements.
• District Rule 219 Toxics New Source Review, assuring that new and modified sources of
toxic air contaminants do not pose unacceptable levels of risk.
• District Rule 223, Power Plants, establishing administrative procedures for issuance of a
Determination of Compliance for qualifying new or modified power plants.
• A letter will be send to the Green Party of California regarding ozone levels in the Paso
Robles area
• Application to California Air Resources Board Carl Moyer Funds and authorization to budget
matching funds required. Funding allocation for a ten year test-use of natural gas to power
the busses at the San Simeon State Historical Park(Hearst Castle). The district allocation of
$106,000 will be used to seed a request for additional funding of$268,000. The money will
come from reserves, and be paid down to a total outlay of approximately $48,000. The total
project cost is over one million dollars, and will contribute to a substantial drop in PM10 and
26 tons of NOx(oxides of nitrogen). While it concerned several Board members that we
were being asked to use local funds to help a State project, it was seen as a wise investment,
which would not happen otherwise, and would benefit the County greatly. The primary
funding will come from the MOVER program.

SUBJECT: Job Well Done
I attended the Sinsheimer Elementary School Career Day on March 26. The day was well
planned and included a variety of careers—from garbage trucks crushing old washing machines
to a newly elected council member.
Among the presenters were our own Firefighter Matt Lipson and DARE Officer Sean Gillham.
Both did an outstanding job of informing the students—Matt with a ladder truck and displays,
and Sean with an excellent talk on personal safety.
I would like to thank the Police and Fire Departments, and their representatives for the time spent
in outreach to the community.
