BACKGROUND Phase 1 of the I-680/Bernal Avenue interchange project installed a traffic signal at the intersection of Bernal Avenue at the 1-680 southbound ramps. This signal was completed in late 2008. Phase 2 — Stage 1 of the interchange project included the modification of both signalized intersections at the 1-680 interchange at Bernal 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 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. Phase 2 - Stage 2 of the interchange project, which this project constructed, installed 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. On July 21, 2015, Council awarded the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Cleary Brothers Landscape, Inc. in the amount of $888,032.52 and authorized the Director of Community Development to approve and execute contract change orders for a contingency amount not to exceed $177,000. Council also approved the seventh Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with BKF Engineers in the amount of $97,100 to provide design services during construction, and a task authorization to Pakpour Consulting Group to provide construction support services in the amount of $76,776. On February 16, 2016, Council approved a contract change order with Cleary Brothers Landscape in the amount of $349,687.50 to authorize the completion of additive bid item 3 that would install the irrigation system as well as the full landscape and planting design. Other minor change orders, including the balancing change order, resulted in a net of$326,706 in total change orders. DISCUSSION The authorized project funding totaled $1,589,555. The final project expenditures amount to $1,370,430 (summarized in Attachment 1) leaving a project balance of $219,125. All of the work has been completed to the City's satisfaction. Staff recommends transfer of the CIP project balance to the Traffic Impact — Bernal Property Fund Balance. Page 2 of 3
