File Number: 14-026 Boulevard intersection; and removing of a pork chop island and modifying the curb at the southwest corner of the Floresta Boulevard/Monterey intersection including additional survey work. The additional work also includes enhanced detailing of bicycle signage and poles and additional bicycle network design between the San Leandro BART Station and the new Kaiser Hospital. The cost of this extra design work is estimated at $16,000. The Measure B funded Account 144-36-299 set aside for Bicycle Network (East) Project contains sufficient funds to cover the cost of the additional design work and subsequent construction. Staff recommends that the above design work be added to the existing CSA with Aliquot Associates, which will require an increase to the original purchase order of 33.33% from $48,000 to $64,000, thereby exceeding the $50,000 limit for City Manager authority. Staff also recommends that the City Council extend the term of the CSA from June 30, 2014 to December 2014. Therefore, staff requests that the City Council authorize the City Manager to issue change orders to the above purchase order, increase the P.O. limit to the amount shown, and extend the time of completion of the CSA.
