INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION PROJECT
WHAT HAPPENED
The council voted unanimously to enter into a professional
services agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, and Trans-
portation & Energy Solutions Inc. for design and other services
related to the San Fernando Intelligent Transportation Systems
project.
WHAT IT MEANS
The project, which the city of Glendale is also participating in,
is intended to improve traffic capacity and efficiency on surface
streets along the Golden State (5) Freeway corridor, including
traffic signal coordination.
GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE PROJECTS
WHAT HAPPENED
The council unanimously approved a resolution to use a fixed fee,
guaranteed maximum price delivery method for construction management
on Robert R. Ovrom Park and the Debell Clubhouse Replacement project.

As opposed to the design-bid-build method, under the guaranteed
maximum price method the construction manager guarantees the project
will be completed within a certain cost and by a certain time.

The council appointed Councilwoman Marsha Ramos and Councilman
Todd Campbell to a new subcommittee on land use.
