Page 1 of 4 Item #5 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT June 16, 2026 Community and Economic Development TITLE: APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A DESIGN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH KIER AND WRIGHT CIVIL ENGINEERS AND SURVEYORS, INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $925,411 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, EVALUATION, AND CREATION OF A PRECISE ROADWAY ALIGNMENT FOR EL CHARRO ROAD (CIP 27501), AND APPROVE THE RELATED BUDGET AMENDMENTS SUMMARY El Charro Road is an important north-south transportation corridor within Pleasanton and the broader Tri-Valley area. Completion of the segment between Stoneridge Drive and Stanley Boulevard as a public roadway has long-range implications for circulation, safety, multimodal connectivity, and access to adjacent development. The Precise Roadway Alignment Project will develop a technically defensible, precise roadway alignment that can serve as the basis for future project development, evaluating and incorporating elements including utility infrastructure, drainage, constructibility, cost, and environmental constraints. The agreement with Kier and Wright will be for an amount not to exceed $925,411. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Design Professional Services Agreement with Kier and Wright Civil Engineers and Surveyors, Inc., in the amount of $927,618, and approve budget amendments to transfer $925,411 from the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee Reserve, CIP No. 01541, to the El Charro Road Precise Roadway Alignment Project, CIP No. 27501 (21430124-440108-27501) in the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fund (Fund 214). BACKGROUND The segment of El Charro Road between Stoneridge Drive and Stanley Boulevard is a key missing link in Pleasanton’s circulation network, one that has been long-identified in the City's General Plan, and needed to support well-managed growth in East Pleasanton. A precise roadway alignment and alternative routing analysis are essential to define a safe, efficient, multimodal, and buildable solution for El Charro that enables further environmental analysis, right-of-way planning, and capital allocation. This process was recognized as an essential element of the prior East Pleasanton Specific Plan process. Establishment of the El Charro Roadway alignment through the specific plan process would have allowed evaluation of design alternatives before the design and submittal of development projects. With the halt of the East Pleasanton Specific Plan and subsequent project applications in the East Pleasanton area, both within and outside the existing City limits, it is critical that the City evaluate and identify the precise alignment of El Charro Road so that developments in East Pleasanton can plan for and around its location. This project will allow the City to move forward with East Pleasanton projects, ensuring that the location of El Page 56 of 443
