BACKGROUND This annual project consisted of the removal and replacement of 1,321 linear feet of curb and gutter, removal and replacement of 4,543 square feet of sidewalk, installation of 61 ADA pedestrian ramps (as is required by law when resurfacing a street), and removal and replacement/modification of 38 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 February 23, 2022. City Council awarded a contract for $589,502 to the low bidder, Rosas Brothers Construction, on March 15, 2022, and authorized the Director of Engineering to approve change orders up to the project contingency amount of $88,425 for additional work deemed necessary during construction. Rosas Brothers Construction began work in April 2022. The work was complete to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering last summer, but Rosa Brothers was very slow in submitting required project close-out documentation. With the paperwork now finalized, it is recommended the City Council accept the public improvement project as complete. DISCUSSION Budget Three change orders for a total of$71,677 including a balancing change order were issued during the construction of the project. The work modified by change orders included: o On Valley Avenue between Bernal Avenue and Oak Vista Way: Removed five existing asphalt median crosswalks totaling 700 square feet and replaced with 10 new concrete ADA ramps and sidewalk for $29,256. o On Woodthrush Way: The work of removing 200 linear feet of curb and gutter was withdrawn from the project for a credit of $18,000. Replacing the curb and gutter to improve drainage would not have been possible without causing significant damage to the heritage trees located within the parkway. Staff will continue to monitor the area. o Foothill Road and Canyon Way: Modified an existing porkchop island, including two ADA ramps, to accommodate a new traffic signal pole for $15,800. The traffic signal pole will be installed under a separate contract. o 401 Main Street: Removed and replaced 334 square feet of concrete, adjusted utility boxes, reset pavers and relocated a tree well for $17,900. The area affected was determined to be a potential trip hazard. o Laurel Creek Way and Stoneridge Mall Road: Installed a reinforced concrete retaining wall 24- to 30-inches-high along the back side of the curb ramp to reduce impacts to heritage tree roots and utility conflicts for $3,000. o The balancing change order added 157 linear feet of curb and gutter, 467 square feet of sidewalk, an additional ADA dome, and a credit for not modifying one ADA ramp that was removed from the work by staff for a total of$23,721 .The total additional curb and gutter and sidewalk work resulted from minor changes to the limits of removal and replacement throughout the project identified as necessary in the field compared to the plans Page 2 of 3
