RESOLUTION: 2003-32
SUBJECT: Bid award for Union Boulevard Pavement Reconstruction Project, Alameda Avenue to 6th Avenue, Bid No. 2399
ADDRESS: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Public Works recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Brannan Sand and Gravel in the amount of $2,561,846.69. It is further recommended that 10 percent of the contract amount, $256,184.67, be authorized by City Council in the event unanticipated work is needed to complete the project. Total authorization recommended is $2,818,031.36.
FUNDING SOURCE: Capital Improvement Fund and Federal Transportation Improvement Program Funds
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER: The pavement on Union Boulevard between 6th Avenue and Alameda Avenue is in poor condition, and needs extensive repair work. Since the street was constructed in the early 1970's, the traffic volume has increased significantly to its present level of over 50,000 vehicles per day including many heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses. The pavement on Union Boulevard is not structurally thick enough to support this traffic level, which has led to reoccurring maintenance and poor pavement conditions.
Because of these factors, the existing pavement on Union Boulevard needs to be completely removed and replaced with a thicker, stronger pavement. Union Boulevard is a principal arterial on the 2025 Regional Transportation Plan, and improvement projects on Union Boulevard are eligible to compete for Federal Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) funds.
In February of 2002, the City submitted the Union Boulevard Pavement Reconstruction Project to DRCOG for TIP funding. The project includes rebuilding of the pavement, as well as replacement of 3 traffic signals and installation of traffic surveillance cameras at 3 locations.
The City was successful in receiving 50% matching TIP funding for this project, and the project has been included in the 2003-2008 State Transportation Improvement Plan with construction scheduled for 2003. The project is included in the 2003 Capital Improvement Program budget.
The low bidder on the contract is Brannan Sand and Gravel, a qualified roadway
construction contractor.
