FROM: DOUGLAS S. STACK, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: AWARD CONTRACT FOR THE MITCHELL AVENUE/UTT DRIVE
PEDESTRIAN ENHANCEMENTS PROJECT CIP 40073
SUMMARY
Staff is requesting that the City Council award the construction contract for the Mitchell Avenue/Utt
Drive Pedestrian Enhancements Project CIP 40073 to the lowest responsive/responsible bidder.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council award the construction contract for the Mitchell Avenue/Utt
Drive Pedestrian Enhancements Project CIP 40073 to the lowest responsive/responsible bidder,
PTM General Engineering Services, Inc., in the amount of $72,070.00, and authorize the Mayor
and the City Clerk to execute the contract documents on behalf of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding has been budgeted and appropriated in this Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Capital
Improvement Program for this project. Ninety percent of the estimated construction cost of the
project is funded with a grant from the State legislated Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Program in
the amount of $225,230. The City is utilizing Measure "M" Turnback funds to fund the City's ten
percent share of construction cost. Approximately $50,000 of Mitchell/Utt intersection
improvements associated with the Mitchell Avenue Storm Drain Improvement (CIP No. 50035) are
eligible SR2S expenditures and will be credited against the grant accordingly.
DISCUSSION
The proposed project includes the installation of an in-pavement lighted crosswalk at an existing
school crosswalk adjacent to Beswick Elementary School across the west leg of Mitchell Avenue at
Utt Drive. The proposed flashing lights will be activated by pedestrians and serve to provide
additional warning to drivers that a pedestrian is using the crosswalk. The project also includes the
installation of a streetlight and replacement of curb ramps to be in compliance with current federal
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
In order to minimize the impact of construction activities on the school and adjacent residences,
construction of the project will be completed in conjunction with the Mitchell Avenue Storm Drain
Project CIP 50035 and will be scheduled to occur during the summer months while the Beswick
Elementary School is not in session. Certain items of work being constructed by the contractor for
CIP 50035, including replacement of curb ramps, cross-gutter, and paving at the Mitchell
Avenue/Utt Drive intersection, are eligible to be paid for with the State Safe Routes to Schools
grant and will be charged to this project.
