A third amendment served to extend the term of the contract. DISCUSSION While the project design was completed in December 2022, further work on the project has been delayed for PG&E to perform a franchise relocation of electrical equipment after which the project bid was to be scheduled. City staff attempted to have the PG&E work included as part of the City's project but was unsuccessful, and PG&E estimated the work would be completed by April 2023; however, no work was done by that time and now PG&E's resources have been redirected to completing relocation work as part of the Johnson Drive Economic Zone. The work on this project is now estimated to be completed by the end of 2023. As an additional note, during this delay PUSD re- evaluated the use of its property and asked that the requested monument sign on its property be removed from the project. The project will be further delayed due to the necessary water line improvements on Sunol Boulevard in the same areas as the intersection project starting early 2024. The water line work begins at the north end of the intersection with major impacts to the turn lane project, including prevention of the phased construction necessary for the project. The water line work is anticipated to be completed in summer 2024 after which the turn lane project will be bid. During the design phase, several items outside the original scope of work were required to complete the design. To improve the pedestrian crossing at Main Street and Bernal Avenue, the design created bulb-outs with new accessible ramps to reduce the pedestrian crossing distance. Additional street lighting design work was required along Monaco Drive to accommodate a new retaining wall. To further support the bid process, additional utility and demolition design sheets were requested by the City. The monument, fencing and landscaping designs were removed/adjusted to reflect the updated request from PUSD. During the design, the PUSD's onsite utilities were discovered and then designed for relocation. Due to inflation, the delay of the project will increase construction costs. Bid alternatives will be developed to allow the project to proceed with the available budget and provide flexibility to add features (e.g., monument signs on City property) if funding is available. The project plans will need to be updated to incorporate the new water line and PG&E work. The fourth amendment to the agreement for $83,400 will cover the costs for the additional design work, including the future bid alternatives and updating the plans for the water line and PG&E work. Budget The current Capital Improvement Program budget includes $5.67 million to fund the design and construction of the Second Westbound Left-Turn Lane on Bernal Avenue at First Street and Sunol Boulevard Project, CIP No. 17556.
