7.1.A. - Page 2 bidding process to construct the permanent pedestrian improvements. The following reports outlines the scope and results of this bidding process, as well as the recommendation for moving forward with the contract and project. ANALYSIS Consistent with the City's complete streets goals, this project will increase pedestrian safety via the following improvements: • Corner extensions/bulb-outs at seven intersections to shorten the crossing distance and therefore the time a person walking across the street will be exposed to moving traffic. • Pedestrian median refuges will be installed at two intersections. • Accessible curb ramps will be constructed at all intersections. • All the pedestrian roadway markings and signing will be updated to current standards. • Accessible pedestrian signals will be installed at the Brewster/Broadway intersection. • Several sections of uneven sidewalk will be replaced. • The roadway pavement within the limits of the project is due for resurfacing, therefore a pavement overlay has been incorporated into the scope of the project. The City is now ready to begin the construction phase of work, following completion of the advertisement and bidding process. Five (5) bids were received by the bid deadline on March 19, 2014. The bid amounts are summarized below.
