Originally, Redwood City's six at-grade crossings were a <br /> part of this project, but during the final design phase (due to shortfall in funding), <br /> Redwood City's crossings were deleted from the project. Redwood City's six crossings <br /> are included as part of the Joint Powers Board's (JPB] current Facilities Upgrade <br /> Project (referred to as the "Ponderosa ProjecY'). The City's coordination effort included <br /> obtaining the necessary permits, administering the design, executing the cost sharing <br /> agreements, and administering the construction activities for installing concrefie panels <br /> at five at-grade crossings. <br /> Although construction has been completed, additional funds are required to reimburse <br /> the City for construction change orders, construction management expenses, and to <br /> set-aside contingencies for potential claims. The contractor has not agreed to the final <br /> cost payment, and has, therefore, protested several of the change orders that have <br /> been issued and has filed a"Notice of Potential Claim". <br /> On July 29, 1996, the City Council approved by Resolution No. 12838, Program <br /> Supplement No. 022 under the Master Agreement for Local Agency Federal Aid for <br /> Urban Transportation System Projects, which provided the funding of design <br /> engineering for the project, and on October 6, 1997, Program Supplement No. 022 <br /> Rev. 1, which provided funding for construction engineering and construction, was <br /> approved by the City Council. <br /> � _ ._ . _ _....__.... _._r <br />
