BACKGROUND Bernal Avenue Improvements near the 1-680 interchange were divided into three phases. Phase 1, the Bernal Avenue Interchange Traffic Signal Installation at the 1-680 southbound ramps project, was completed in 2008. Phase 2 consisted of two stages. Stage 1 was a modification of both signalized intersections at the Bernal Avenue and 1-680 interchange. Stage 1 was completed in May 2015. Stage 2, the installation of the landscape and gateway feature elements at the Bernal Avenue and 1-680 interchange, is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by early June 2016. Phase 3 is the final phase and includes resurfacing Bernal Avenue between Foothill Road and Valley Avenue to keep the street in a serviceable, safe and smooth riding condition for vehicular traffic. DISCUSSION This project will resurface approximately 255,000 square feet of existing roadway with a new layer of asphalt concrete. The roadway resurfacing also includes isolated full depth pavement repair, pavement milling, installation of traffic detector loops, striping, ADA compliant curb ramps, and adjusting existing appurtenances to grade. The existing bridge deck and expansion joints at Arroyo De Laguna will be re-sealed as part of this project. The intersection of Bernal Avenue and Valley Avenue will be re- profiled/reconstructed to improve the ride quality and drainage. These BernalNalley Avenue intersection improvements also include roadway milling and leveling, modification of an existing 550 linear feet of concrete median curb, and modification of an existing storm drain inlet. The major construction operations on Bernal Avenue between 1-680 and Valley Avenue will be performed within the restricted nighttime hours from 9:30pm to 6:00am Monday through Friday to minimize impacts to traffic and businesses. All roadway work on Bernal Avenue between Foothill Road and east of West Lagoon Road will be performed during daytime hours from 9:00am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday. No work will occur before the fair closes on July 5, 2016. Professional Services It is anticipated that contract inspection services will be necessary to accommodate multiple nighttime and daytime construction shifts, which the City inspection staff will be unable to cover along with the rest of their workload. A proposal from Ghirardelli Associates, Inc., one of the City's selected on-call construction management and inspection firms, was received to provide as-needed inspection services in the anticipated not-to-exceed amount of $35,000. The recommendation for the award of three on-call construction management and inspection agreements is included under a separate item on the June 7, 2016, City Council agenda. Staff will issue a task authorization letter to Ghirardelli Associates for the inspection work on the Bernal Avenue Resurfacing project upon the approval of their on-call contract. Budget The estimated total expenditure for this project is $996,325 including a 10% construction contingency ($85,648), video detection equipment ($18,839) and Inspection Services to Page 2 of 3
