BACKGROUND Funding was budgeted in the Annual Curb and Gutter Replacements for Streets Resurfacing Project, CIP No. 21509, to perform the concrete work required on streets that were programmed for either repaving or slurry sealing in the City's 2021 Street Maintenance Program. While the title of the CIP project suggests it is limited to curb and gutter work, the project as bid actually consisted of removal and replacement of 2,072 linear feet of curb and gutter, removal and replacement of 5,100 square feet of sidewalk, installation of 135 ADA pedestrian ramps (as is required by law if resurfacing a street), and removal and replacement/modification of 45 ADA pedestrian ramps significantly out of compliance with current standards (as is also required by law before resurfacing). The project was designed in-house and advertised for competitive bid, with bids due on March 13, 2021. As recommended by staff, City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $813,816 to the low bidder, JJR Construction, Inc., on April 20, 2021. As also recommended by staff when the award was made, Council authorized the Director of Engineering to approve change orders up to the project contingency amount of $81,545 for additional work deemed necessary during construction. JJR Construction, Inc. began work in May 2021. The work is now complete to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering. It is recommended that the City Council accept the public improvements as complete. DISCUSSION Budget Five change orders for a total of $65,677 were issued during the construction of the project. The work added to the project by change order included: o Several lengths of curb and gutter work were added to the project after additional field survey work. During construction, the layout revealed that storm drainage could be improved and/or required more curb and gutter than originally estimated. o Additional curb and gutter work on Parkside Drive was included to accommodate a striping change requested by the Traffic Engineering Division to improve the bicycle lanes. o The limits of street resurfacing work on Arthur Drive were expanded to reduce the roadway cross slope identified during the resurfacing project's design. This required additional curb and gutter replacement, as well sidewalk replacement and the reconstruction of a settling storm drain catch basin before paving. o The limits of street work were also expanded on E. Angela Street during design. The additional work was also necessary to reduce the roadway cross slope which was so severe that vehicles were scraping the street as they entered existing driveways. This expansion required additional curb and gutter replacement. o Independence Drive was removed from the resurfacing project because of the construction traffic associated with the Lund Ranch development. This decision was made with input from residents of the Independence Drive, but after most of Page 2 of 3
