6. Authorize the Director of Community Development to approve and execute contract change orders for a contingency amount not to exceed $177,000 (approximately 20% of the contract amount) for necessary related project work. 7. Appropriate $1,239,867 from Fund 168 (Bernal Interchange Developer Fee Account) to CIP No. 155006. FINANCIAL STATEMENT In October 2000, the City of Pleasanton entered into a development agreement with GHC Bernal Investors, LLC (BIC). As outlined in the agreement, BIC is obligated to fund the Bernal interchange improvement. On June 3, 2014, the City Council approved a resolution approving a letter of understanding with BIC regarding a lump sum payment from BIC to the City for $4.5M to meet BIC's remaining obligation for the Bernal interchange improvement. These funds were received and are completely funding this project. BACKGROUND Phase 1 of the 1-680 /Bernal Avenue interchange project installed a traffic signal at the intersection of Bernal Avenue at the 1 -680 southbound ramps. This signal installation was completed in late 2008. Phase 2 of the interchange project was separated into two stages. Stage 1 included the modification of both signalized intersections at the 1 -680 interchange at Bemal Avenue. At the 1 -680 NB on -ramp intersection, one westbound through lane was converted to a shared through /right turn lane for the northbound on -ramp to reduce vehicle queue and congestion. At the 1 -680 SB on -ramp intersection, one westbound through lane was converted to a second westbound left turn lane to the southbound on- ramp to reduce vehicle queue and congestion. This stage of Phase 2 was completed in May of 2015. Stage 2 of Phase 2 of the interchange project will install the landscape and gateway feature elements at this interchange. The landscape and gateway monument feature elements of the project required a separate and lengthy approval process from Caltrans. As a result, the landscape and gateway portion of the project was separated from the roadway and traffic signal phase of the project. Due to the drought, the plans and specifications for the landscape project were prepared so that the planting and irrigation can be constructed at a later date. The base bid and additive work is broken down as follows (see Attachment 1 for details on the landscape bid additives): Page 2 of 5
