THE CITY OF 7 <br /> CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> pLEASANTONo <br /> July 20, 2010 <br /> Community Development <br /> Engineering Division <br /> TITLE: RATIFICATION OF THE APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, <br /> REVIEW OF BIDS AND AWARD OF CONTRACT TO ROSAS BROTHERS <br /> CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $133,172.50 FOR ANNUAL <br /> SIDEWALK AND ACCESS RAMP INSTALLATION PROJECT, CIP NO. <br /> 095005 <br /> SUMMARY <br /> Work within the scope of this contract is required prior to the paving of various City <br /> streets. To meet the limited construction window and complete paving prior to the <br /> winter months, it was necessary for the City Manager to award the project in June; <br /> therefore staff recommends that City Council ratify the approval of plans and <br /> specifications and the award of contract for the Annual Sidewalk and Access Ramp <br /> Installation project to the lowest responsible bidder, Rosas Brothers Construction, in the <br /> amount of $133,172.50. The project consists of: construction of eight raised islands with <br /> passageways along Hopyard Road (resulting in easier access to sidewalks for bicycles <br /> and pedestrians with wheelchairs and strollers) and 13 intersection ramps; installation of <br /> yellow detectable warning surfaces onto existing ramps at various locations; and <br /> replacement of damaged sidewalk, curb and gutter at various locations (see Attachment <br /> 1 for project locations). <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> 1. Ratify the approval of the plans and specifications for this project. <br /> 2. Ratify the award of construction contract for the subject project to Rosas Brothers <br /> Construction of Oakland in the amount of $133,172.50. <br /> 3. Authorize the City Manager to enter into the above contract. <br /> 4. Ratify the authorization for the Director of Community Development to approve and <br /> execute contract change orders for a contingency amount not -to- exceed $26,700 <br /> (20% of the contract) for necessary related subject project work. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> This project will replace and upgrade existing infrastructure. If the City were to elect not <br /> to make these improvements at this time, it could result in an increase in maintenance <br /> costs. <br />
