I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council Authorize the City Manager to Execute City Engineering Task Orders for Construction Engineering and Design Engineering for the Sunset Rehabilitation Street Project.
II. BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program, on April 19, 2018 the City Council identified the first phase of the Sunset Street Rehabilitation Project as the project the City would undertake with SB1 funds for fiscal year 2018/2019 with the estimated $320,000 allocated from the State Program.
On December 6, 2018 the City Council freed up local street funds for other various projects and allocated $500,000 of STBG Lifeline funds towards the Sunset Street Project to complement the $320,000 allocated from SB1 for a total project budget of $820,000.
This project is expected to encompass three blocks of Sunset Street beginning at Polk Street and extending to the south side of Monroe Street/Cedar Avenue. Existing improvements on the east side of Sunset Street from Polk Street to Durian Avenue shall remain without additional improvements.
Work under this project would include demolition of existing improvements, clearing and grubbing, sawcutting, pulverization of existing AC pavement, grading base material, installation of curb and gutter, sidewalk, curb ramps, alley approaches, driveway approaches, valley gutter, median island, A.C. pavement, aggregate base, street lights, street trees, traffic striping, traffic signage, existing utility lid adjustment and construction surveying.
III. DISCUSSION:
Attached are the work orders for design engineering and construction engineering. The total cost for both services is $125,000 which represents approximately 15% of the project costs which is consistent with industry standards for design and construction engineering services. Once approved by the City Council, the City Engineer will begin immediately on surveying and design in order to proceed with this project expeditiously.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
- Do not approve the work orders and authorize the City Manager to execute said work orders as requested by Staff and direct staff accordingly- this is not recommended
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
Sunset Street Budget
SB1 Funds: $320,000 (remains)
STBG Lifeline Funds: $500,000 (new)
Total: $820,000 (includes design and construction engineering services) | | |
