File Number: 22-622 Complete Streets evaluation identified desired improvements to the bicycle and pedestrian facilities including a road diet on Hesperian Boulevard and Grand Avenue. The recommendation for Hesperian Boulevard includes landscape buffers between the bike lane and travel lanes. On Manor Boulevard, the Complete Streets evaluation resulted in a recommendation to install Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons at two crosswalks. On Bancroft Boulevard, staff recommends that the project install improvements between Callan Avenue and Estudillo Avenue per an existing school site safety assessment consisting of curb bulb-outs to reduce pedestrian crossing distance, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at one crossing and adding an Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) at an existing signalized intersection. Additional design work is needed to implement these improvements. To expedite construction, the project has been split into two phases - phase 1 is currently in construction, while phase 2 will follow later under a separate contract. The phase 2 project will include streets that require additional design and coordination with public utility agencies. Analysis The Complete Streets features identified by the City are an integral aspect of the project. Contracting with NCE is the most efficient way to deliver the work. Amendment No. 5 includes the fees for additional design revisions to Grand Avenue, Manor Boulevard, and the Bancroft/Estudillo intersection. In addition, this Amendment also adds fees for tasks that were inadvertently excluded from Amendment No. 4. The cost of Amendment No. 5 is $122,230.00, resulting in a total contract amount of $1,663,339.00. The rejection of Amendment No. 5 will deny the City the opportunity to include the above-mentioned essential safety enhancements in this project.
