COUNCIL COMMUNICATION IM AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications, Authorizing Advertisement for Bids, and Authorizing City Managerto Award or Reject Contract for Turner Road Overlay and Lower Sacramento Road Widening MEETING DATE: July 18,2007 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving the plans and specifications, authorizing advertisement for bids, and authorizing the City Manager to award or reject the Contract for the above project. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of widening Lower Sacramento Road from Eilers Lane to Turner Road and overlaying Turner Road from 200 feet west of Lower Sacramento Road to Loma Drive. The project also includes traffic signal modifications at Turner Road and Lower Sacramento Road. The widening of Lower Sacramento Road is part of the corridor improvements outlined in the Lower sacramento Road Special Purpose Plan. The widening involves acquiring additional right-of-way from General Mills Corporation for the pavement, curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the roadway. Since the General Mills property has no plans for development of this property, General Mills has agreed to dedicate the needed right-of-way in exchange for the above mentioned improvements. In an effort to provide the maximum amount of available construction time for this project, we are requesting that the City Manager be authorized to award this project to the lowest successful bidder without returning this project to Council. There are two issues that have delayed bringing this project to Council for approval earlier. One is the negotiations with General Mills over right-of-way issues, and the other is the approval of the Lower Sacramento Road Congestion Relief funding through the San Joaquin Council of Governments. Both of these issues have been resolved. There is also a desire to complete needed pavement maintenance on this portion of Turner Road prior to this year's winter weather. Itis our intention to direct the contractorto complete this portion of the paving as early as possible within the proposed contract time (September through the end of October 2007). The ability to complete the work this year, instead of next year, should avoid additional damage to the roadway from this winter's wet weather. FISCAL IMPACT: The money for this projectwill be coming from the Lower Sacramento Road Congestion Relief and Measure K Grant. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Lower Sacramento Road Congestion Relief $178,347 Measure K Grant $699,000 APPROVED: Blair King', fy Manager K:\WP\PROJECTS\STREETS1Turner—Rd\Turner Rd Overlay—M WideninglCPSBA.doc 711012007 Adopt Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications, Authorizing Advertisement for Bids, and Authorizing City Manager to Award or Reject Contract for Turner Road Overlay and Lower Sacramento Road Widening July 18, 2007 Page 2 104,12" Mark Lindseth/Associate Civil Engineer RCP/drr cc: Streets& Drainage Manager General Mills Corooration Project Estimate: Budgeted: Planned Bid Opening ns, Richard C.
