BACKGROUND <br /> This project consists of removing and replacing 5,050 SF of sidewalk that present <br /> potential tripping hazards, 206 LF of curb and gutter that have cracks and drainage <br /> problems, and installing 33 new intersection ramps and 2,000 SF of new sidewalk for <br /> ADA accessibility. The locations are selected from the requests from the Traffic Division <br /> and Operations Services Department. Additional work was added near Union Pacific <br /> Railroad crossing at West Angela Street after the railroad company's rail replacement. <br /> The City of Pleasanton's Engineering Division considers safety improvement urgency, <br /> proximity to other locations requiring work, scheduling of other street projects, and <br /> available budget when prioritizing locations to be improved each year. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Bids <br /> The engineer's estimate for the project was calculated at $149,805. Sealed bids were <br /> opened on August 13, 2013. Six bids were received that ranged from $146,430 to <br /> $355,832 (see Attachment 2). The low bid was received from Rosas Brothers <br /> Construction of Oakland, California. All bid documents were found to be in order and <br /> past work performed by Rosas Brothers Construction was verified to be satisfactory. <br /> Staff recommends award of the construction contract to Rosas Brothers Construction. <br /> Budget <br /> Staff recommends that the contingency amount for this project be sEit at 15% of the <br /> construction contract due to potential expansion of project limits necessitated by defects <br /> that may become apparent during the demolition phase.
