BACKGROUND The 2018 Curb & Gutter Removal/Replacement project consisted of removing and replacing 3,782 square feet of sidewalk that presented potential tripping hazards, 4,151 lineal feet of cracked curb and gutter that had drainage problems, and the installation of 33 new pedestrian ramps for ADA. In addition, two custom ADA ramps were installed at the Senior Center to lower the sidewalk and improve ADA access to the facility. On March 6, 2018, Pleasanton's City Council awarded the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Rosas Brothers Construction, in the amount of $535,375. Council authorized the Director of Engineering to approve change orders up to the project contingency amount of $71,133. The project has since been completed and is ready for acceptance. DISCUSSION Budget Funding for the project was provided through the Annual Curb and Gutter Replacement Project, CIP No. 17509, for $350,000; and transfers from the Annual ADA Ramp Installation, CIP No. 17505, for $112,000; Foothill Sidewalk, CIP No.17512, for $83,536; Junipero/Independence Traffic Calming, CIP No. 17557, for $20,050; and from the Black Avenue Traffic Calming, CIP No. 15549, for $71,106. A total of two change orders were issued for this project, addressing unforeseen items including additional concrete work at the Senior Center, additional curb and gutter along First Street, and one additional access ramp on Railroad Avenue and Spring Street. Due to its advanced age and construction type, the curb and gutter along First Street began crumbling when work began, requiring an additional 550 feet of curb and gutter removal. Alexander and Associates surveyed the ADA ramps along First Street to aid in the design of the ramp replacements. Suarez and Munoz Construction assisted the project by installing planting along First Street and Arendt Way to create a visual barrier to the end of the sidewalk and improve the safety of the intersection. West Coast Arborists, Inc. provided tree trimming to prevent damage to City trees along the streets where work took place. The final project funding and expenditures are summarized in Attachment 1 , indicating a total project expenditure of $631,232 and remaining fund balance of $5,460. Staff recommends the transfer of the remaining balance back to the Gas Tax Fund. Page 2 of 3
