When doing the field work necessary to lay out the striping for the "quick build" bicycle improvements, localized pavement distress and settling around drainage inlets was observed. The localized settlement has caused dips and cracking, including relatively significant "drop-offs" created by differential settlement in the "quick build" bike lane area; therefore, Staff recommends these localized pavement areas be repaired prior to installing the "quick build" improvements. While the recommended work is focused on the bike lanes, some of the pavement repairs will extend across all lanes of traffic to ensure proper street drainage. The proposed work includes approximately 13,000 square feet of pavement overlay, and the adjustment of five existing storm drain inlets and two storm drain manholes to the raised pavement street surface grade. Change Order No. 5 includes approximately $125,000 for O'Grady Paving, Inc. to perform this work. Again, the final cost and payment will be determined by final field-measured quantities. Change Order No. 5 The costs of$140,000 for the "quick build" pavement striping and bollard installation, and $125,000 for the localized street pavement repairs totaling $265,000 were estimated by O'Grady Paving, Inc. based upon plans provided by City staff. O'Grady Paving's estimate compares favorably with the estimate of$270,000 prepared by staff. However, staff recommends the City Council authorize Change Order No. 5 with a not- to-exceed amount of$300,000. This recommendation is analogous to staff recommending the award of a typical public works construction contract, along with a project contingency that staff has the authority to use to address unforeseen issues if discovered during construction without the delay that would be caused by returning to the City Council for each change. By authorizing Change Order No. 5 for a not-to- exceed amount of$300,000, the City Council is, in effect, providing a contingency of $35,000, or approximately 13 percent above the O'Grady Paving, Inc. estimate of $265,000 for the work. Schedule The localized pavement repairs will be completed as soon as they can be scheduled weather permitting, followed by the "quick build" bicycle improvements. Staff anticipates all work will be complete by early spring 2023. However, if the winter rains continue as they have to this point, the schedule could be delayed and push completion until late spring 2023. Full Street Reconstruction Plan Mark Thomas is scheduled to complete the 35 percent design, and cost estimates, for the reconstruction of West Las Positas Boulevard by summer 2023. When complete, the 35 percent plans will be presented to the City Council, along with a recommendation on how to proceed with completing the 100 percent design of the entire roadway length, or phasing completion of the 100 percent design focused on priority sections, based upon the estimated costs and the available funding. In the meantime, West Las Positas Boulevard continues to settle, with the worst section between Hacienda Drive and Stoneridge Drive. The roadway settlement may necessitate additional repair efforts to keep the roadway in a drivable condition until permanent repairs can be designed and constructed.
