BACKGROUND <br /> <br />On June 15, 2004, the City Council awarded the construction contract for the subject project <br />to the lowest bidder, Prism Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $142,607.00. The subject <br />project has since been completed and is ready for acceptance. <br /> <br />The subject project was programmed under the 2002/2003 Capital Improvement Program <br />(CIP) budget to address potential safety concerns on Foothill Road at the intersection of <br />Muirwood Drive South. Originally, these concerns were to be resolved by the Merritt <br />property residential development. The proposed Merritt property development included an <br />extensive intersection widening with a new traffic signal installation at the Foothill Road and <br />Muirwood Drive South intersection. However, the Merritt property residential development <br />was rejected by the voters in Pleasanton via Measure P in 2000. <br /> <br />The current project provides a dedicated left turn lane from southbound Foothill Road to <br />eastbound Muirwood Drive South to reduce the risk of rear-end accidents at this intersection. <br />No signal installation was proposed at this time at this location. Widening Foothill Road at <br />this location provided the necessary space to accommodate the dedicated left turn lane. <br /> <br />The project was funded by the General Fund, Measure B, and monies received from the <br />Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) through the Hazard Elimination <br />Safety (HES) program. On November 6, 2003, the authorization to proceed with construction <br />was approved by the California Department of Transportation. <br /> <br />On January 10, 2003, The City Manager approved a Consultant Contract with Ruggeri- <br />Jensen-Azar & Associates (RJA) to provide engineering services for an amount not-to-exceed <br />$19,975 for the design of the subject project. <br /> <br />BUDGET <br /> <br />The final project funding and expenditures are presented below. <br /> <br />Funding <br /> <br />CIP #025019, (Measured B) <br />CIP//025019, (General Fund) <br />Development Contribution (Mardell, Tract 7176) <br />TEA-21 Grant (Hazard Elimination Safety funds) <br /> Total: <br /> <br />$ 63,000 <br />$ 20,000 <br />$ 6,000 <br />$ 97,500 <br />$186,500 <br /> <br />SR:05:176 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
