6. Authorize the transfer of $525,000 from CIP No. 995066 (Dublin Canyon Rd. Bridge Replacement) and the transfer of $414,276 from CIP No. 025023 (Dougherty Valley Mitigation Reserve) to CIP No. 995067, Bernal Avenue Bridge & Bernal Avenue Street Widening. 7. Approve the creation of wetland and riparian mitigation sites in the Arroyo del Valle and at the Bernal property adjacent to Mission Creek. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The project will result in additional mitigation maintenance and monitoring costs required as part of the project's environmental permit conditions of approval. This work will occur for approximately ten years after completion of the bridge and will cost approximately $250,000. The current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes $289,087 in FY 2009-10 for these services. Future years will see a nominal increase in operations and maintenance costs due to increased pavement and landscaped areas for future maintenance. BACKGROUND The City's Capital Improvement Program has included four projects related to improving the Bernal Avenue and Vineyard Avenue traffic movements. Included is the construction of the Bernal bridge, (CIP No. 995067), widening of Bernal Avenue from Vineyard Avenue to Arroyo Del Valle (CIP No. 005029), the installation of a new traffic signal at the Bernal Avenue and Vineyard Avenue intersection (CIP No. 025018), and the partial construction of the Vineyard Avenue /Arroyo del Valle Sewer Addition, Phase I (CIP No. 902028). As part of the current CIP, these four projects were combined into one project as a way of improving project and construction efficiencies. While the initial project schedule anticipated project completion around 2003, project construction and final design was postponed while staff worked to identify suitable wetland and riparian mitigation areas as required by the Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Fish and Game, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. All design and regulatory matters have now been addressed and staff is recommending moving forward with project completion. A summary of project related work completed to-date includes the following: . Purchase and demolition of the property at 3421 Vineyard Avenue (Cedoline property) to accommodate the bridge and roadway widening. Installation of an interim traffic signal at the Bernal Avenue/ Vineyard Avenue intersection, and construction of a partial roadway widening on Bernal Avenue just south of the Arroyo Del Valle. Interim modifications to improve traffic movement at the Bernal Avenue and Vineyard Avenue intersection and on Vineyard Avenue including the installation of traffic mast arms and signal heads, installation of median curbing, and widening of Vineyard Avenue. . Sanitary sewer improvements included the installation of 18" sanitary sewer lines and appurtenant structures in Bernal Avenue through the Vineyard and Bernal Avenue intersection in advance of repaving the roadway intersection.
