I. RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Assistant City Manager to execute a task order with the City Engineer for preliminary design and construction engineering for the rehabilitation of Fresno Street from Harvard to California.
II. BACKGROUND:
Councilman Adkisson had requested staff look into the costs and scope of work for rehabilitating Fresno Street from Washington to Harvard has it has been continuing to degrade and breakdown. Staff presented a scope of work in September but unfortunately at the time the City did not have any additional funding available. However, since staff last presented to the Council, staff was able to move some federal monies around in order to free up additional local Measure C funds. Although the funds will not entirely cover the total cost of the project this fiscal year, there will be enough to get the project shovel ready (construction ready) and release bids in FY22 when new Measure C allocations are distributed to cover the additional funds needed.
III. DISCUSSION:
Staff, in working with the City Engineer developed a scope of work and cost estimate to rehabilitate Fresno Street from Washington to Harvard. This scope of work is based on the assumption that there is enough base to support and overlay. A copy of the scope of work has been attached.
Project Description: Fresno Street from Washington to Harvard; Pulverization of existing AC pavement, grading of base material, application of 3-inch AC pavement cap, adjustment of existing utilities, replacement of curb & gutter, and reconstruction of valley gutters.
Cost Estimate: Approximately $355,000
Staff is requesting authorization to execute a task order for 75,000 to allow the City Engineer to begin design on the project and get it shovel ready for FY22. These funds will be derived from Measure C Flexible Funding.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
None at this time as staff is seeking direction.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
The $75,000 will come from Measure C Flexible Funding. Construction funds will be allocated in the FY22 budget unless funds become available beforehand. | | |
