BACKGROUND On June 21, 2011, Council awarded the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Tim Paxin's Pacific Excavation, Inc. The project, as described below, has since been completed and is ready for acceptance. DISCUSSION The West Las Positas Boulevard and Muirwood Drive intersection was identified in the City's General Plan for signalization. The intersection was also identified as a high priority in the City's Traffic Signal Priority List and was necessary to mitigate school related traffic congestion during the morning and afternoon peak hours. The project replaced existing all-way stop signs with a traffic signal, which included all required traffic signal equipment, traffic signal interconnect equipment, and miscellaneous signing and striping. This project also reduced the size of the intersection, improving approaching sight distance, pedestrian access, bicycle circulation, and intersection operations. The intersection improvements at Stoneridge Drive and Stoneridge Mall Road reconstructed the existing northeast curb and sidewalk, allowing the existing third westbound through lane to be converted to a shared through/right turn lane. These improvements were required as part of an existing agreement between the City and BART to mitigate impacts from the recently opened West Dublin BART Station. Budget The approved budget for the two projects combined was $550,000; the total spent was $511,257, leaving a remaining balance of $38,743. The primary reason that staff was able to bring the project in under budget is that the City was able to purchase and provide the video detection system to the contractor for installation, providing a cost savings.
