BACKGROUND The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed by President Obama on February 17, 2009, to stimulate the national economy. The ARRA funding for Local Street and Road (LS &R) System Preservation projects is divided into "Regional ARRA funding" and "State ARRA funding ". The terms "Regional ARRA Funding" and "State ARRA Funding" are being used to differentiate between urbanized regional ARRA funds that are provided directly to the regions and the State ARRA funds made available through the State. The City received $1,216,711 in Regional ARRA Funding and $370,000 in State ARRA funding. The Regional ARRA funding was applied toward CIP No. 095014, Overlay of Various City Streets project. The State ARRA funding was applied toward CIP No. 095026, Bernal Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation — ARRA 2009. On June 16, 2009, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the application for ARRA 2009 Tier 1 funding for this project. On December 17, 2009, approval to proceed with the construction of this project was received from the Department of Transportation. On April 6, 2010, the City Council awarded the construction contract to Granite Construction in the amount of $399,429.50 to rehabilitate the pavement surface on Bernal Avenue. The subject project has since been completed and is ready for acceptance. Bernal Avenue between Valley Avenue and Pleasanton Avenue was chosen for pavement rehabilitation because roadway conditions warranted repair and met the requirements for ARRA funding. Approximately 278,000 square feet of roadway was resurfaced with open -grade asphalt concrete. Open Graded Asphalt Concrete was utilized to reduce traffic noise and enhance skid resistance /drainage. Damaged pavement totaling 42,000 square feet was repaired. The existing roadway geometry on west -bound direction was modified to accommodate a new Class II bike lane. All non- compliance ADA access ramps within the project limits have been upgraded. New bike lanes, roadway legends, striping, traffic loops, and video detection equipment were installed. Budget This project was adopted by the City Council utilizing a fixed amount of $370,000 of ARRA funding plus local funding (gas tax) of $111,020. This local funding has been allocated from Annual Resurfacing project, CIP No. 095003. Contract change orders totaled a net decrease of $6,756.58, resulting from a decrease in materials quantities. Although change orders included $1,332 for base repair due to a void created by the storm drain pipe, and $3,453 for additional crack seal, net change orders resulted in an overall deduction of $6,756.58 due to a decrease in materials quantities. The project was completed for a total cost of $421,686. The balance remaining in the project budget is $59,334, which staff recommends be transferred to the Annual Page 2 of 3
