Award a contract to Peterson-Chase General Engineering Construction, Inc., the lowest <br />responsible bidder, in accordance with unit bid prices in the estimated amount of <br />$1,126,850.64 for construction of SR-55/MacArthur Boulevard Ramps Widening. <br />2. Approve a Funding Analysis with a total estimated construction cost of $1,577,000. <br />3. Direct the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached Construction <br />Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans for the State Route 55/MacArthur Boulevard Ramps <br />Widening project. <br />DISCUSSION <br />This project includes widening eastbound MacArthur Boulevard from three to four lanes between <br />Hutton Centre Drive and the northbound State Route 55 on-ramp, and widening the southbound <br />and northbound State Route 55 on-ramps from one to two metered lanes (Exhibit 1). This is a <br />traffic mitigation measure for the MacArthur Place South development. The proposed <br />improvements to the ramps and roadway are necessary to provide additional capacity for the <br />increased traffic volume anticipated in project build-out year 2035. Once completed, these <br />improvements will improve traffic flow on MacArthur Boulevard. <br />Since this project includes work within Caltrans right-of-way, a construction cooperative agreement <br />between the City and Caltrans is required. <br />23B-1
