BACKGROUND The 2019 Curb and Gutter Replacements for Streets Resurfacing Project, CIP No. 18509, consisted of removal and replacement of 3,202 square feet of sidewalk and 1,387 linear feet of curb and gutter in various locations on streets that were included in the 2019 street resurfacing project. As required by law, 34 ADA pedestrian ramps were installed prior to the street resurfacing. In addition, 24 ADA pedestrian ramps were modified by installing ADA domes and grinding lips to make them compliant with current standards. To allow bicyclists to utilize the existing sidewalk where no bike path is striped on Foothill Road, a new concrete bike connection path, along with two new ramps to access the path, were installed on the east side of Foothill Road, south of Muirwood Drive, to improve bicyclist safety. A bus stop pad was installed on Springdale Drive as requested by LAVTA. Finally, bulb-outs were installed at two locations as identified by Traffic Engineering to improve pedestrian safety: on Neal Street at Railroad Avenue to reduce the pedestrian crosswalk length, and at Walmart Drive and Rosewood Drive. The project also included the removal and replacement of seven trees, and the associated damaged sidewalk, within the Valley Trails Neighborhood. The project was advertised for competitive bid, with bids due on March 26, 2019. On April 16, 2019, Pleasanton's City Council awarded a contract in the amount of$438,386 to the low bidder, Rosas Brothers Construction. Council also authorized the Director of Engineering to approve change orders up to the project contingency amount of$43,839. Construction began in May 2019, with the schedule coordinated with the street repaving and slurry seal projects, both of which occurred later in the summer of 2019. DISCUSSION Budget As approved by City Council, $496,311 was allocated for the project construction from three CIP project budgets; $250,000 from the Annual Curb and Gutter Replacement Project, CIP No. 18509, $177,811 from the Annual ADA Ramp Installation, CIP No. 18505, and $68,500 from the Bicycle and Pedestrian Related Improvements Project, CIP No.18543. Seven change orders totaling $62,436 were issued during construction of the project. Of the seven change orders, two were for unforeseen conditions requiring modifications to the plans, and one for a balancing change order at the completion of construction for a reduction to the total contract amount as some of the constructed quantities were less than the estimated quantities included in the original bid. Four of the change orders were for additional work requested during construction. The four additional work change orders are described below. 1. Traffic Engineering, through their work with the school district, identified a concern at the intersection of Linden Way and Vineyard Avenue which resulted in the construction of new ADA ramps to support a new pedestrian crossing servicing the Valley View Elementary School.
