The project <br />consists of traffic signal improvements and bulb -outs designed to improve safety and mobility of <br />pedestrians in the area by narrowing the roadway which shortens the distance for school children <br />and pedestrians to cross the street, and which slows down vehicles. <br />On December 6, 2016, the City Council awarded a construction contract to California <br />Professional Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $457,712. The total project delivery cost of <br />$572,141 included $457,712 for the construction contract; $68,657 for administration, inspection, <br />and testing; and a construction contingency of $45,772. <br />The project includes bulb -outs near Garnsey Street at Anahurst Street to make crossing Anahurst <br />Street safer for pedestrians. During construction of the bulb -outs, staff is recommending <br />improving the entire intersection, which was not foreseen. These improvements will not only <br />repair needed sidewalk and pavement, but will also produce improved quality and drivability of <br />the roadway. In addition, staff is also recommending installation of bio-swales, to reduce area <br />flooding. If the additional funding is authorized, staff will coordinate the additional improvement <br />before the contractor demobilizes. The cost of the recommended additional work would be <br />completed within the project budget in the amount not to exceed $146,000. <br />2313-1 <br />
