In addition, the project installed a total of ten new speed cushions at locations requested and approved by a majority of the residents as part of the 2014-15 Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program. These new speed cushions were installed on: ·Dolores Avenue (between East 14th Street and Bancroft Avenue); ·136th Avenue (between Bancroft Avenue and School Street); ·Park Street (across from Siempre Verde Park); and ·Warden Avenue (between Davis Street and Melcher Street). In preparation for this project, fifty-three pedestrian crosswalk curb ramps within the street reconstruction limits were updated to meet current accessibility requirements under a separate construction contract. The project also completed the installation of new sanitary sewer manholes, replacements and repairs to existing speed cushions, and sanitary sewer point repairs. Analysis Construction is now complete and was performed in compliance with the contract documents. This was the first construction contract to be completed under the City’s Community Workforce Agreement (CWA), which established the Alameda County Building and Construction Trades Council and its affiliated labor unions as the sole bargaining representative of all persons working on City construction projects valued above $1,000,000. The CWA sets a goal of 30% participation by San Leandro residents and if no San Leandro residents are available, then Alameda County residents, in construction projects that are covered by the CWA. Contractors are required to make good faith efforts to reach this goal through the utilization of the Unions' hiring hall procedures. The agreement also required the contractor to hire one San Leandro resident, or if not available, an Alameda County resident, as a New Apprentice for the first $1 million of the bid amount.
