Authorize the City Manager to execute change orders in an amount not to exceed the total <br />authorized contingency of $63,157. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL & TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE ACTION <br />On April 8, 2014, the Environmental & Transportation Advisory Committee (ETAC) considered tree <br />removals and replacements along Chestnut Avenue and Santa Fe Street. By a vote of 4 to 0 (1 <br />absent), ETAC approved a motion for the removal of seven of the City -owned (Pine) trees and <br />installation of replacement trees, conditional on planting of Tabebuia Alleviate trees, the number to be <br />determined by City staff; and in areas that do not have enough room, one Crepe Myrtle tree may be <br />planted, with the possibility of co- mingling the two tree species. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The recommended action will allow the City to enter into a contract with All American Asphalt and <br />proceed with construction of three projects identified in the City's Capital Improvement Program. The <br />work includes installing a Class II bikeway on Chestnut Avenue (Project 136796), replacing pavement <br />within two alleys (Project 146813), and replacing pavement on a roadway segment of Chestnut <br />Avenue (Project 146803). Both pavement replacement projects have been identified as high priorities <br />in the City's Pavement Management Program. Additionally, the bike trail along Chestnut Avenue is <br />one of the critical missing links of the City's Golden Loop. Once completed, these improvements will <br />expand the City's Class II bikeway, repair existing drainage problems, enhance the ride quality of the <br />street, extend the life of adjacent infrastructure, and enhance the visual appearance of the street. <br />23A -1 <br />
