City staff authorized an existing on-call consultant, Biggs Cardosa and Associates, Inc., to complete the design work and create biddable construction documents for the work identified in the inspection reports. As the project plans were put together and the cost estimates further refined, it became apparent that the approved BPMP grant would not fully fund the work. Consequently, staff applied for additional BPMP funding. Caltrans approved the additional funding in March 2017. The BPMP grant funding required field review meetings which included City staff, hired consultants, and Caltrans personnel. The meetings occurred during the design process at intervals prescribed by Caltrans. At the final design field review, it was pointed out that the work proposed for the Santa Rita Road Bridge at Arroyo Mocho included approach slab work to address differential movement between the bridge and Santa Rita Road travel lanes. Since the approach slab work was not identified as a bridge deficiency in the inspection report, City staff thought it was ineligible for grant funding. But since the movement has recurred over the years, causing a significant "bump" in the asphalt and the need to repeatedly remove and replace the asphalt to improve ride quality, staff included it in the design work, anticipating it would be funded outside the grant. Upon seeing the need for the work during the field review, Caltrans determined it could be included in the BPMP grant request. City staff then applied for the additional funding, which Caltrans subsequently approved. However, due to funding cycle commitments, the funding for design was approved by Caltrans in August 2017, but the funding needed for construction was programmed by Caltrans for FY 2019, which delayed the implementation of the project. As a result of the inspection reports and field reviews during the design, the final project plans (as they were advertised for construction bid in April 2020) included the following work: 1. Santa Rita Road Bridge at Arroyo Mocho (Br No. 33C-0099) The scope of work for this bridge included: adding approach slabs; installing expansion fittings on the existing waterline at each side of the bridge; removing the asphalt paving on existing concrete bridge deck; methacrylate deck treatment; repaving the roadway surface over the bridge; adding joint seals at Abutments 1 and 3; repairing spalls on bridge deck, the soffit, and concrete barrier rail; replacing a portion of the concrete barrier and tubular hand railing; restriping roadway; and reconstructing the mortar base at the bottom of chain link fence posts. 2. Case Avenue Bridge at Mission Creek (Br No. 33C-0453) The scope of work for this bridge included: methacrylate deck treatment; removing and replacing existing expansion joint seals at Abutments 1 and 2; repairing unsound grout at railing post pockets; and repairing spalls on the concrete barriers, deck, soffit, and abutments. 3. Laurel Creek Drive Bridge at Laurel Creek (Br No. 33C-0454) The scope of work for this bridge included methacrylate deck treatment; repairing spalls on concrete barrier rail and bridge deck; replacing existing expansion joint Page 3of6
