is to move forward. Costco hired two engineering firms, Kier + Wright Civil Engineers & Surveyors, Inc. and Mark Thomas, to prepare the engineering plans and seek the permits necessary to construct the JDEDZ traffic mitigation measures. Both engineering firms worked closely with City staff as the improvement plans were developed. The improvement plans are consistent with the requirements of the CEQA documentation for the JDEDZ Project. The improvement plans comply with the City of Pleasanton's Standards and Specifications and Caltrans' Standards and Specifications, as appropriate. The city of Pleasanton's Director of Engineering has reviewed and approved the improvement plans. Caltrans has reviewed the improvement plans and is prepared to issue the required permits for the work planned in the Caltrans right-of-way. It is recommended that the City Council approve the improvement plans prepared by Kier + Wright Civil Engineers & Surveyors, Inc and Mark Thomas for the Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone traffic mitigation improvements. Construction Bidding and Final Cost Estimate The format of the advertised bid package for the improvement plans coordinates closely with JDEDZ Project CEQA documentation and the 2018 Agreement. The project was bid following all requirements of the California Public Code and included provisions required by ACTC regarding goals for local business and small local business participation in project construction. While bid as one project, the advertised bid package divided the work into the five traffic mitigation measures identified in the JDEDZ Project CEQA documentation, with each of the five mitigation measures assigned to one of two projects as discussed in the 2018 Agreement: 1. Stoneridge Drive and 1-680 Project: a. Measure 4.D-1d, Stoneridge Drive and 1-680 on-ramp widening for second on-ramp lane (Caltrans ROW) and Stoneridge Drive widening for second on- ramp queuing lane 2. JDEDZ Street Improvements: a. Measure 4.D-la, Commerce Drive at Johnson Drive Traffic Signalization b. Measure 4.D-1 b, Johnson Drive at Owens Drive (North) Traffic Signalization c. Measure 4.D-3, Johnson Drive Widening to add a second northbound lane d. Measure 4.D-1c, Johnson Drive at Stoneridge Drive Intersection modifications The five traffic mitigation measure project areas are shown graphically in Attachment 3. The bid package required each bidder to submit a price for each of the five traffic mitigation measures and defined the winning bid as the bid with the lowest total of the five prices submitted. Arranging the bid package in this way was consistent with how the Planning Level Estimate was prepared and is therefore also consistent with how the reimbursement provisions are written within the 2018 Agreement. Four bids were received on April 29, 2022, all from local contractors well known in the industry for performing the type of work required on this project. The difference between the lowest three bidders is relatively small. However, after a review of the bids, it was Page 5 of 12
