6.1.G. - Page 1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager September 24, 2018 SUBJECT Award of Contract — Middlefield Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve the contract documents and award the standard form construction contract (Section 00520) for the Middlefield Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project to Golden Bay Construction, Inc. of Hayward, California, for their responsive low bid of $8,062,063.50, and authorize the City Manager to increase the contract amount, if necessary, up to 10% above the original contract amount, and find that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Existing Facilities, 15302 Replacement or Reconstruction, and 15304 Minor Alterations to Land BACKGROUND Middlefield Road is a major corridor shared by a variety of roadway users including motorists, bicyclists, walkers, bus riders, park users, and others. The various roadway users and surrounding community members are interested in increasing traffic safety and mobility, and improving the roadway for active/alternative transportation modes like walking and bicycling. Over the years, the community has expressed that Middlefield Road is in need of wider sidewalks, better bikeways, more street trees/greenery, and more street lighting. This project will address these community concerns by constructing/installing wider sidewalks (with ADA curb ramps), separated/protected bikeways, shade trees, landscape planter areas, and additional street lighting. In addition, the project will construct several stormwater treatment/bioretention areas to help filter/reduce pollutants from entering the storm drain system. The traffic signal at Chestnut Street/Middlefield Road will be upgraded to include bicycle signals, accessible pedestrian signals, and an emergency vehicle pre-emption system. This streetscape project has been planned and designed in coordination with the approved Rule 20 Middlefield Road Phase 1 Underground Utility District project with the same project limits, (Main Street to Woodside Road), see attached project location map.
