6.1.E. - Page 3 • A full signal replacement will be performed at the Jefferson/Hudson intersection, including the installation of accessible pedestrian signals. The roadway pavement on Hudson Street north of Jefferson Avenue is due for resurfacing, and a slurry seal has been incorporated into the scope of the project. City staff is now ready to begin the advertisement and bidding process. Construction is planned to begin during summer 2016. ALTERNATIVES Council may elect not to approve the project plans and specifications as proposed and direct staff to redesign the project scope or modify the scope of work. FISCAL IMPACT Approving contract documents and plans and advertising the project does not require an allocation of funding. After a successful bidding process, staff will return to recommend an award of the construction contract, and will request the City Council obligate funds to complete the construction of the project. The original engineering estimate for the project at the time of grant approval was $665,800. Due to the expanded scope of the project as described above, the current engineering estimate for the project has increased to $1 ,313,600. Funds for the Hudson Street Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project have been previously approved and appropriated in the Gas Tax Construction Fund, the Transportation Fund, and the Traffic Mitigation Fees Fund in the amount of $665,800. This consisted of $532,640 from the approved grant and Redwood City's agreed match of at least 20% or approximately $133,000. Due to the increased scope of the project, additional funds in the estimated amount of $647,800 from the Gas Tax Construction Fund will need to be reallocated to fund the full construction of the project. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW As the lead agency, City of Redwood City has determined that the Hudson Street Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project meets the CEQA exemption criteria as set forth in Section 15301 , (Existing Facilities). Furthermore, this project has been designed in compliance with the City's Engineering Standards and accepted practices.
