BACKGROUND Assessment District No 1974-1 funded the installation of the 8-foot wide, 1.5-inch-thick asphalt path along the east side of Foothill Road, from Stoneridge Drive to Canyon Way. The asphalt path, which was installed as part of the street landscaping improvements in 1979, reached the end of its useful life. Mature trees adjacent to the path caused uplifting and cracks due to root intrusion into the asphalt area. Local businesses contacted the City, requesting repairs to the sidewalk. On February 20, 2018, Pleasanton's City Council awarded the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, FBD Vanguard Construction, Inc., in the amount of $287,246. Council authorized the Director of Engineering to approve change orders up to the project contingency amount of $28,275. The project has since been completed and is ready for acceptance. DISCUSSION Budget The funding for the project was $400,000, provided from the Annual Sidewalk Maintenance — Foothill Road along Stoneridge Mall, CIP No. 17512. During the award for construction of the Annual Curb and Gutter project, CIP No. 17509, a total of $83,536 was transferred from the CIP No. 17512 project surplus, leaving an available fund balance of $316,464 for the Annual Sidewalk Maintenance — Foothill Road along Stoneridge Mall, CIP No. 17512. A total of two change orders, including a balancing change order, were issued for this project for a total credit of $4,623. The credit came from a reduction in the sidewalk installed. The sidewalk replacement was stopped just before Canyon Way as Workday has future improvements that will modify the intersection and will remove the remaining portion of the existing sidewalk. Additional plantings were added to the project to fill in existing gaps in the landscaping. Work was performed by Suarez and Munoz Construction, Inc. under the City's on-call contract to adjust an existing below-grade irrigation controller after the sidewalk installation. The anticipated expenditure for this work is $1,500; however, the final invoice has not been received. After the final invoice is received and paid, the remaining balance will be returned to the fund balance. The final project funding and expenditures are summarized in Attachment 1, indicating a total project expenditure of $284,868 and a remaining fund balance of $31,596. Staff recommends the transfer of the remaining balance back to the Street General Fund after payment to Suarez and Munoz Construction, Inc. is completed. Page 2 of 3
