Engineering Services and Assessment Engineering RFPs
West Covina
Summary
The council approved another multi-year TransTech engineering contract after a combative hour of questions about a skipped RFP scoring step, company sponsorships tied to council-affiliated events, and an unresolved FPPC Section 1090 matter. The contract carries an $850,000 annual cap and 15-day termination clause.

Impact analysis
TransTech costs the city roughly $3.4-3.5 million annually across building safety, CIP, and general engineering services; the engineering contract itself is capped at $850,000 per year from restricted funds.
Residents benefit from continued engineering services for street paving, traffic signals, and capital projects that the city cannot staff in-house.
Taxpayers bear risk if the unresolved FPPC matter results in the contract being voided; critics argue the procurement process lacked cost scoring transparency.
