Compliance statements
Build a Healthy Community: Priority 100.11 - Develop Public Facilities for Active Living is an adopted policy item under the FY 2019-21 City Council Priority Workplan, adopted on March 1, 2019 through Resolution 2019-029.
CEQA Compliance Statement
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Public Resources Code sections 21083 and 21084 and 14 C.C.R. Sec. 15301 because it consists of the rehabilitation of existing street pavement within the City. There will be no increase in the number of lanes and no scenic resource will be altered or removed. A CEQA Notice of Exemption was filed with the Contra Costa County Clerk on April 25, 2019.
BACKGROUND
The FY 2018/19 Pavement Repair Project is part of the City’s ongoing effort to maintain its streets. The construction project involved removing and replacing concrete sidewalks, valley gutters, and dilapidated curb and gutters. Non-standard curb ramps were reconstructed to current ADA standards. The existing roadway area was grinded and repaved with new asphalt pavement. New striping and pavement markings were also applied. The existing parking lot at Parcel A, located adjacent to the new City Hall, was also grinded. The remaining materials were stockpiled and will be reused in the Wildcat Creek Trail Project, an example of cost-effective re-utilization of the City’s resources.
The project included the following street segments:
• Market Street between 23rd Street and Church Lane
• Mission Bell Drive between El Portal and College Avenue
• Road 20 between El Portal and Abella Circle
The construction work was substantially completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications by late July 2019.
The final construction contract has been determined to be $1,151,624. The contractor concurred to this amount through an email dated January 14, 2020. Notable change orders occurred with the addition of bike lane striping along Market Street, striping and sign revisions at Road 20, and installation of loop detectors at El Portal and Road 20. Additional work also involved tree root removal at the back of sidewalk and rewiring of street lights at Mission Bell Drive.
By adopting the attached resolution, the Council will accept the work as complete and authorize the City Engineer to issue a Notice of Completion. This action will allow the title of the work to transfer from Contractor to City and will enable processing of final payment.
The City is holding 5% retention on this project. After the prescribed period of recordation of the Notice of Completion, the City will release the final retention.
