File Number: 18-304 <br />Construction prices in general have escalated quicker than inflation and the prices for concrete <br />work have increased more than other construction prices, which has led to both estimated and <br />bid prices that are beyond the original project budget. Additionally, the scope of work at the <br />intersection of Dowling and Bancroft has increased to improve not only the crossing of Bancroft <br />but also the crossing of Dowling. Finally, the scope of work at the intersection of Wicks and <br />Burkart has changed from an RRFB to a HAWK signal based on an evaluation of vehicle speeds <br />and volumes performed during the design process. All of the above items have contributed to <br />project costs that exceed the current original budget and additional funding is required to build <br />this project as currently envisioned. The funds requested by this action are only those necessary <br />to complete Phase 1, additional funding will be requested when Phase 2 work is awarded later <br />this year. <br />Additional Measure BB Bicycle and Pedestrian money and Local Streets and Roads money is <br />requested for appropriation for this project. In order to meet the Alameda County Transportation <br />Commission (ACTC) timely use of funds policy for Measure B Funds the City must allocate this <br />money to projects before it is received from ACTC, which will result in a temporary negative fund <br />balance. The City receives approximately $200,000 per year in Measure BB Bicycle and <br />Pedestrian funds and approximately $1,300,000 per year in Measure BB Local Streets and <br />Roads funds. <br />Current Agency Policies <br />Maintain and enhance the City’s infrastructure <br />Previous Actions <br />·None <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />·Goal T-2: Design and operate streets to be safe, attractive, and accessible for all <br />transportation users whether they are pedestrians, bicyclist, transit riders or motorists, <br />regardless of age or ability <br />o Policy T-2.1: Complete Streets Serving All Users and Modes <br />·Goal T-3: Promote and accommodate alternative, environmentally-friendly methods of <br />transportation, such as walking and bicycling. <br />o Policy T-3.6: Pedestrian Environment.
