File Number: 22-089 and improve pedestrian access at the Castro Street intersection. The reduction of the curb radiuses will force drivers to slow down and watch for pedestrians when making turns. Amendment No. 2 will provide for the design of new storm drain (SD) systems, including potholing investigation of the existing utilities, and traffic control for the work. Storm drain inlets and pipes are required to maintain drainage after changes in the street grade necessary to meet ADA requirements. Regrading is required for new curb ramps located at the intersections of Washington Avenue and Williams Street, and Washington Avenue and Castro Street. Analysis New storm drain inlets are necessary to prevent water ponding at the new curb ramps located at Washington Avenue and Williams Street, and at Washington Avenue and Castro Street. Minimizing the amount of water in the gutter is important for pedestrians. Contracting with CSG is the most prudent way to obtain the design. The cost of Amendment No. 2 is $21,964, and the cost for Amendment No. 1 is $24,818, resulting in a total contract amount of $295,629, an increase of 18.8%. Without this design staff can either allow the water to pond until it evaporates or leave the grades unchanged, in which case the new pavement won’t meet ADA slope requirements. Occasionally, changes to the scope of contracts are necessary to respond to new and previously unknown information or to include unanticipated additional items of work necessary for a complete product. To resolve these issues in a timely fashion and avoid delaying the completion of the bid documents for this project, staff requests authorization to issue cumulative contract amendments up to 25%, or $62,212 of the original contract amount. Without this authority, staff must return to Council for approval before any additional changes to the contract, which will result in delays to the completion of the design.
