AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
Lockeford Street Railroad Crossing Removal Project
MEETING DATE: June 2,2010
PREPARED BY: PublicWorks Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for Lockeford Street Railroad Crossing Removal Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of removal of railroad tracks and equipment;
construction of approximately 740 tons of asphalt paving,
4,670 square feet of asphalt concrete sidewalk, 810 linearfeet of
concrete curb and gutter, 153 linearfeet of 10 -inch and 12 -inch
storm drain pipes, 80 linearfeet of 8 -inch water pipe; and other incidental and related work, all as shown
on the plans and specifications for the project. The location of the project is shown on ExhibitA.
The existing railroad tracks crossing Lockeford Street, Main Street, Stockton Street, Washington Street and
Cherokee Lane were abandoned by Union Pacific Railroad in 2004. The abandonment allows the City to
remove the railroad tracks and the associated equipment at the locations mentioned above. The street
pavement will be repaired after track removal resulting in a safer and smoother ride along Lockeford Street
and the adjoining streets. The finished project will provide safer and improved travel on Lockeford Street.
Funding for the project is provided by Measure K and it is a part in the Central City Rail Safety Project.
The project has been delayed for several years hoping it could have been combined with the larger
project that would widen Lockeford Street to four lanes. That is not feasible at this time due to
right-of-way and funding constraints.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date
is June 22,2010.
FISCAL IMPACT: The project will reduce the maintenancecost of the deteriorating pavement
sections on Lockeford Street.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The moneyfor this projectwill be coming from Street Impact Fees and
Measure K funds (Central City Railroad Safety Project). A request for
appropriation of funds will be made at contract award.
Project Estimate: $350,000
