File Number: 25-276 <br />2019, and progressed through the Schematic Design phase, incorporating public engagement. <br />However, in early 2020, due to the uncertain timeline of the Shoreline Development and lack of <br />confirmed construction funding, the design effort was paused. In 2022, the City successfully <br />secured a $4,079,701 grant from the California State Library’s Building Forward Library <br />Infrastructure Grant Program. Additionally, the San Leandro Library Foundation committed <br />$800,000 toward the project. <br />On April 10, 2025, the City opened bids for the subject project. Ten bids were received, with base <br />bid amount ranging between $6,784,000 and $9,230,000. The pre-bid Engineer’s Estimate for <br />the base bid was $7,202,900. Staff determined that Giant Construction, Inc.is the low bidder <br />based on their base bid amount of $6,784,000. After consideration of construction administration <br />and contingencies, staff determined that an additional $630,000 would be required to award the <br />construction contract to Giant Construction, Inc. and complete the project. <br />During development of the Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2026-2027, staff also considered the <br />additional operating costs that would be incurred by the new Mulford-Marina Library facility, <br />operational restrictions resulting from staffing reductions proposed as part of the Biennial Budget, <br />and the declining utilization of the existing Mulford-Marina Library. <br />Based on the total anticipated costs to both construct and operate the new Mulford-Marina Library <br />facility, staff recommends rejecting all bids for the Mulford-Marina Branch Library, Project No. <br />2018.2400 and to not Include Project List ‘A’ in the Capital Improvement Program 10 Year Plan <br />FY 2026 through FY 2035 as a Funded Project. <br />Project List ‘B’ - Lewelling Boulevard Class IV Bike Ways <br />The Lewelling Boulevard Class IV Bike Ways Project will implement a road diet, reducing the <br />number of travel lanes from four to two, allowing for the construction of new Class IV protected <br />bike lanes with raised medians along Lewelling Boulevard between Wicks Boulevard and <br />Washington Avenue. The project aligns with the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, which <br />recommends separated bikeways along this segment of Lewelling Blvd. The project will also <br />increase safety for vulnerable users and would align with the City’s Vision Zero Policy to reduce <br />and eliminate severe and fatal injuries. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br /> <br />This action provides details for the use of funds committed as part of the Biennial Budget. The <br />CIP Plan does not, by itself, appropriate funds. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />A: Resolution 1 - CIP Project List C <br />B: Resolution 2 - CIP Project List A; Rejection of Bids Mulford-Marina Library <br />C: Resolution 3 - CIP Project List B <br />D: Presentation <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/4/2025
