BACKGROUND <br /> The Annual Curb and Gutter Replacement project consists of removing and replacing <br /> curb and gutter to improve drainage flow, and removing and replacing damaged <br /> sidewalks that are potential tripping hazards. It also includes the installation of Americans <br /> with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps for accessibility. The locations are coordinated with the <br /> upcoming annual street resurfacing program (see Attachment 1 for project locations). <br /> This project consists of removing and replacing 2,500 SF of sidewalk that presents <br /> potential tripping hazards, 2,100 LF of curb and gutter that has cracks and drainage <br /> problems, and installing 66 new intersection ramps for ADA accessibility. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Bids <br /> The engineer's estimate for the project was calculated at $250,000. Sealed bids were <br /> opened on January 13, 2014. Six bids were received that ranged from $294,980 to <br /> $477,590 (see Attachment 2). The low bid was received from Rosas Brothers <br /> Construction of Oakland, California. All other bid documents were found to be in order <br /> and past work performed by Rosas Brothers was verified to be satisfactory. Staff <br /> recommends award of the construction contract to Rosas Brothers Construction. <br /> Budget <br /> Staff recommends that the contingency amount for this project be set at 10% of the <br /> construction contract for potential expansion of project limits due to defects that may <br /> become apparent during the demolition phase. A project funding and estimated <br /> expenditure summary is included as Attachment 3. The project has a shortfall due to new <br /> design standards for constructing ADA access ramps and the need to install access <br /> ramps associated with this year's annual street resurfacing program to comply with the <br /> ADA requirements. <br /> Schedule <br /> The proposed schedule for the project is as follows: <br /> Approval of Plans and Specifications/Award of Contract February 3, 2015 <br /> Start of Construction April 2015 <br /> End of Construction June 2015 <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approv by: <br /> Brian Dolan Emi y Wagner Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Community Development <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
