Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - November 2, 1992 Page - 4 - <br /> 7. NEW BUSINESS <br /> Items Removed from the Consent Calendar. <br /> 6D. Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications and Calling for Bids for <br /> Castro/Williams Intersection Realignment, Project No. 92-8337 (provides for <br /> street intersection realignment and installation of curb, gutter, sidewalk <br /> and a wrought iron fence at the southwest corner of the intersection of <br /> Castro and Williams Streets) . <br /> Council Member Kerr asked if the design of the project was to slow traffic <br /> down at the intersection. Mike Oliver, City Manager, said the project has <br /> been planned for a number of years in response to community concerns <br /> regarding vehicle safety. <br /> Bill Silva, City Engineer, said the purpose of the design is to eliminate <br /> a very smooth curve that allows traffic to go from Williams to Castro at an <br /> unsafe speed. He said the design creates more of a right-angle <br /> intersection than currently exists. He said this has been a long process <br /> of dealing with the adjacent property owner to develop a configuration that <br /> is acceptable to them. <br /> The following Resolution was then introduced: <br /> Resolution No. 92-296, Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications and <br /> Calling for Bids for Castro/Williams Intersection Realignment, Project No. <br /> 92-8337 (provides for street intersection realignment and installation of <br /> curb, gutter, sidewalk and a wrought iron fence at the southwest corner of <br /> the intersection of Castro and Williams Streets) . (2724) <br /> Introduced by Council Member Myers, who moved its adoption, seconded by <br /> Council Member Polvorosa, and carried by the following called vote: <br /> AYES: Council Members Corbett, Faria, Kerr, Myers, Perry, Polvorosa; <br /> Mayor Karp ( 7 ) <br /> NOES: None ( 0 ) <br /> ABSENT: None ( 0 ) <br /> 6E. Resolution of Award of Contract to Fox Construction for Water Pollution <br /> Control Plant Modifications, Project 593-8519 (recommends award to the low <br /> bidder for bid amount of $84,615) . <br /> Council Member Kerr said the bid amount of the project was $84,615; yet, <br /> design costs were $27,000 and Engineering and Administration $8,460. <br /> Bill Silva explained that the bid amount is for the first phase of a <br /> $200,000 project, and the design costs are for the entire project. He said <br /> the remainder of the project will be constructed as funds are available. <br />
