The Contract also includes installation of speed cushions on various city <br />streets as part of the 2013-14 neighborhood traffic calming program. <br />Staff recommends award of a contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Gallagher and Burk, <br />Inc., in the amount of $1,012,665.00 for the Base Bid and Bid Alternate "A" for this project. <br />Staff also recommends the City Council approve, as part of this project, an appropriation of <br />$136,950.00 in Developer Fees for Street Improvements (DFSI) funding to cover the cost of <br />installing speed cushions. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The street maintenance program is historically underfunded. As a result, the City has primarily <br />performed pavement reconstruction work on streets that carry high traffic volumes and <br />deferred maintenance of residential streets. In 2013, in response to public concerns and <br />Council direction, staff began allocating a larger portion of our maintenance budget to <br />residential streets. Pursuant to that change, this project will perform pavement reconstruction <br />on only residential streets. This project was originally scheduled for construction in 2014 but <br />was delayed to accommodate planned utility upgrades and therefore minimize restoration <br />damage for select streets within the project area. <br />Street reconstruction consists of installing a new asphaltic concrete (AC) pavement section on <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 6/9/2015 <br />
