Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract documents for the Alameda De Las Pulgas Sidewalk Improvement Project; reject the Non-responsive Apparent Low Bid of $345,000.00 from Empire Engineering of San Francisco, California; and award the standard form construction contract (Section 00520) to the second lowest responsible bidder, RK Engineering of San Francisco, California, for their Responsive and Responsible bid of $356,368.00; and, authorize the City Manager to increase the contract amount, if necessary, up to 10% of the original contract amount, not to exceed $392,004.80; and confirm determination that the project is exempt and meets California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption criteria as set forth in Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the CEQA Regulations. 2. Approve the associated Sidewalk Easements, and authorize the City Manager to accept the Sidewalk Easements at 343, 353, 355, 357, 367, and 391 Alameda De Las Pulgas, and execute the related Certificates of Acceptance BACKGROUND On July 28, 2014 the City Council approved and authorized the City Manager to enter into an Improvement Agreement with Ricky Hung Ngo and Yung Le to cover the cost of sidewalk improvements between Harding Ave and the Hetch Hetchy right-of-way on the easterly side of Alameda De Las Pulgas. The sidewalk improvements are associated with the development of 353 and 355 Alameda De Las Pulgas as this roadway lacked curbs, gutters, and sidewalks and did not meet existing City standards. Per the agreement, the property owners are obligated to pay the cost for their frontage improvements and the cost of the right-of-way improvement design for the full length of the project. During the approval of the plans for the development of the properties, City staff determined that dedications would be needed for the sidewalk improvements. Six
