The project also repaved the transportation corridor parking lot between Abbie Street <br /> and Angela Street. This parking lot was included in the project to capture the cost- <br /> savings realized through the economy of scale. The cost of the parking lot work was <br /> covered by a transfer of $115,952 from the City's Parking Lots Resurfacing Project, CIP <br /> No. 17424 based upon the bid submitted by Granite Construction, Inc. <br /> Finally, a section of northbound Foothill Road in front of Foothill High School was <br /> widened by three feet to accommodate a future, buffered "drop-off' zone for the school, <br /> as requested by Traffic Engineering. Foothill Road was slurry sealed in this area, so the <br /> widening of the roadway is not readily apparent at this time. <br /> Consulting Services <br /> Inspection services were needed during construction due to two vacant positions in <br /> Engineering's Public Works Inspection Division. The inspection services were <br /> performed under an existing on-call consultant contract by Swinerton Management and <br /> Consulting, Inc., and cost $57,188. <br /> Material testing and survey services were also needed on the project. These services, <br /> totaling $5,307, were performed through existing on-call contracts with BSK Associates <br /> (Material Testing) and Alexander & Associates, Inc. (Surveying). <br /> A total of$28,866 in miscellaneous expenditures were also incurred during the project. <br /> The largest expenditures included the installation of video vehicle detection equipment <br /> (cameras) at several signalized intersections needing the technology, and tree trimming <br /> throughout the project area to prevent damage to both the trees and the construction <br /> equipment required to perform the work. The camera installation work was performed <br /> under the City's on-call contract with Econolite, and the tree trimming was performed <br /> under the City's on-call contract with West Coast Arborists. Miscellaneous expenditures <br /> also included other minor items such as advertising the project bid, mark-out paint, etc. <br /> Change Orders <br /> The following change orders resulted in a net increase of$269,020 to the construction <br /> contract: <br /> 1. An increase of$32,935 for roadway profiling and regrading at the intersection of <br /> Homer Court and Chapman Way. The existing high crown of the pavement at this <br /> intersection was profiled and regraded so the cross slopes are in compliance with <br /> ADA requirements at the newly installed ADA curb ramps. <br /> 2. An increase of $13,415 to replace 15 traffic signal detector loops that were <br /> damaged during base repairs for the slurry seal project. These loops were <br /> overlooked during the design of the project. <br /> 3. Two change orders were issued for an increase of$190,000 to resurface St. Mary <br /> Street, between Main Street and the railroad crossing, and Peters Avenue, between <br /> St. Mary Street and Division Street. These two roadway sections were in poor <br /> condition and were scheduled for repaving by the City's Pavement Management <br /> Program during summer 2021. However, PG&E's recent intensive trench work to <br /> replace the gas distribution main in the street, along with cuts to connect every <br /> service lateral, worsened the existing pavement condition causing it to need <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br />
