FOR THE 14901 EAST 14 STREET DEMOLITION PROJECT, <br />PROJECT NO. 11- 962 -39 -001. <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br />The subject project will remove the existing building and other structures as the first step in the <br />site preparation for the intersection improvement project. Staff recommends award of contract to <br />the low bidder, Musco Excavators, Inc. in the amount of $41,394.50 for the subject project. <br />BACKGROUND <br />In 1997, the City identified the intersection of East 14 Street /Hesperian Boulevard /150 <br />Avenue, known as "The Triangle ", as an area requiring improvement to reduce traffic congestion <br />and improve safety. In 2002, this project was approved as part of the Alameda County <br />Transportation Authority (ACTIA) Measure B 1/2 -cent tax reauthorization program. <br />The primary improvements will include: 1) widening East 14`' Street at 150 Avenue to add an <br />additional eastbound left turn lane; 2) adding a dedicated southbound left turn lane on Bancroft <br />Avenue at East 14 Street; and 3) installing dual northbound left turn lanes on Hesperian <br />Boulevard at Fast 14 Street. <br />Additional right of way is required to perform these improvements. In 2009, the former gas <br />station located at 14901 East 14 Street, currently operating as a Quality Tune -up Shop, was <br />acquired by the Redevelopment Agency. The Redevelopment Agency then entered into a <br />month -to -month lease agreement with the tenant, which allowed them to stay on the site until the <br />project is ready to move forward. The tenant is planning to relocate to another facility in San <br />Leandro and will vacate the property by the end of August 2011. <br />Lianne Marshall <br />Interim City Manager <br />
