The City has unsuccessfully applied for both a RAISE and an Alameda CTC CIP/OBAG 3 grant and staff will continue to seek grant funding opportunities. It is unlikely that the costs for the reconstruction portion of the project will be covered as the current grant environment is focused on climate impacts and alternative transportation forms. The water and sewer repairs are anticipated to be funded out of enterprise fund reserves and will be programmed into the project when estimates of the work are available. Dry utility relocations (PG&E, Comcast, AT&T) should fall under franchise relocations and have a minimal cost to the city. Dry Utility Impacts The possible relocation of dry utilities that cross the roadway may heavily impact the construction schedule, depending on the depth of the road section reconstruction. The extent of the relocation is unknown and will be determined as part of the 35 percent design which includes potholing of the utilities. If PG&E utility relocations are necessary, it could take up to two years to complete. Comcast and AT&T utility relocations can generally be completed within a year, depending on the scope of work necessary. Once it is determined which segments of the roadway will be reconstructed, the process to request the utility relocations will begin. Schedule A concept plan will be vetted through targeted public meetings in the spring 2023 and will include the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee. The 35 percent plans will incorporate any of the comments received, and will then be brought to the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee, the Parks and Recreation Commission, and the City Council to develop the recommended phasing of the project by summer 2023. Completion of biddable documents for the first phase of the project is estimated at 12 months. Construction of the roadway is anticipated to start in 2024, assuming there are no delays from utility relocation work, and could take 12 to 18 months. The proposed schedule for the project is as follows: Award of 35 percent design agreement December 2022 Implement "quick build" of Phase 1 February 2023 Concept development and community outreach Spring 2023 35 percent design completion Summer 2023 Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved by: Stephen Ki atrick Susan Hsieh Gerry Beaudin Director of Engineering Director of Finance City Manager Attachments: 1.
