preparation for the future Vineyard Avenue sanitary sewer <br /> connections. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />On April 20, 2004, the Council awarded the construction contract for the subject project <br />to the lowest bidder, Prism Engineering in the amount of $389,508.75. The subject <br />project has since been completed and is ready for acceptance. <br /> <br />The City's Capital Improvement Program includes projects for the construction of a <br />second bridge over Arroyo Del Valle (Project 995067), Bernal Avenue widening from <br />Vineyard Avenue to Arroyo Del Valle (Project 005029), and installing a new traffic <br />signal at Bernal and Vineyard (Project 025018). These three projects have been <br />combined as Bernal Avenue Bridge at Arroyo Del Valle and Roadway Widening (Project <br />No's. 995067 & 005029). This combined project has been divided into three different <br />construction phases. <br /> <br />Phase 1 of the project has been completed to accommodate the opening of Fire Station <br />Number 1 and included an interim traffic signal installation at the Bernal Avenue and <br />Vineyard Avenue intersection, and partial roadway widening on Bernal Avenue just <br />south of Arroyo Del Valle. <br /> <br />Phase 2 of the subject project provided interim changes to improve traffic movement on <br />Vineyard Avenue and through the Bernal Avenue and Vineyard Avenue intersection. <br />Vineyard Avenue was widened to its ultimate alignment and a traffic signal modified to <br />operate in conjunction with the future roadway alignment once the second bridge is <br />constructed. The interim Phase 2 roadway construction does not change the scope of <br />work contemplated for the overall project. <br /> <br />Approximately 1000 linear feet of sanitary sewer and appurtenant structures were <br />installed at the Bernal Avenue/Vineyard Avenue intersection. These sanitary sewer <br />improvements were programmed under the Vineyard Avenue/ Arroyo Del Valle Sewer <br />Addition, Phase I, CIP No. 902028. Partial sewer improvements identified in this sewer <br />project were added to this interim Phase 2 roadway project to provide for timely <br />construction. Two sewer maintenance holes were constructed with a stub and are ready <br />for the future Vineyard Avenue and Del Valle Parkway/Nevada Street sewer <br />connections. <br /> <br />Phase 3 will include construction of the new bridge and the remaining improvements on <br />Bernal Avenue. <br /> <br />SR 05:038 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
