Award Contract to Vido Samarzich, Inc., for Santa Ana Boulevard
<br />and 5th Street Protected Bike Lanes Project
<br />December 17, 2019
<br />Page 2
<br />The project will install approximately 2.2 miles of protected bike lanes along Santa Ana Boulevard
<br />and 5th Street (Exhibit 1). The proposed bike lanes will improve bicycle routes to and from schools,
<br />parks, trails, local shopping centers, and high -density residential areas. The construction scope of
<br />work includes a raised concrete median, asphalt concrete pavement, concrete sidewalks, curb and
<br />gutter, and driveway approaches. Related improvements will provide Americans with Disabilities
<br />Act curb ramps, pedestrian push buttons, traffic signs and striping, and a traffic signal video
<br />detection system. The work will require relocating several water services from private property onto
<br />the public right-of-way where they are typically located. Once completed, the improvements will
<br />provide safe, fun, convenient, healthy, and environmentally friendly travel for all ages and abilities.
<br />The City secured an Active Transportation Program grant in the amount of $4,484,000 for the Santa
<br />Ana Boulevard and 5th Street Protected Bike Lanes Project. The grant award was included in the
<br />approved Fiscal Year 2018-19 Capital Improvement Program. However, the September 17, 2019
<br />City Council action approving the carryover of unspent Fiscal Year 2018-19 budgets only specified
<br />3,684,170 for this project. Staff is requesting an Appropriation Adjustment (Recommended Action
<br />No. 1) to authorize expenditure of the additional $799,830 needed to establish the project budget
<br />for the full $4,484,000 grant award.
