6.D. - Page 2 of 3 ANALYSIS This project increased safety and mobility near the crossings by constructing sidewalks and crosswalks to provide direct continuous paths leading to/from the railroad pedestrian gates. Additional street lighting has been installed to increase lighting levels near the tracks, improving visibility of the tracks and pedestrians at night. The traffic signal at the intersection of Broadway/Marshall Street/Arguello Street has been upgraded to improve traffic flow and reduce traffic delays when the railroad gates are down during train crossings. Bicycle warning pavement markings have been installed to increase safety for people riding bicycles. In coordination with the City's Section 130 Program Project, Caltrain constructed compatible improvements within Caltrain's right-of-way at the same locations. These changes included new vehicular and pedestrian protective warning devices, pedestrian gates, and pavement markings. The project was constructed in accordance with City specifications and to the satisfaction of the City's Engineering and Transportation Division. The contract required a faithful performance bond and a labor and material bond that can be released at this time. Contract change orders totaling ($68,181.20) were issued for final quantity adjustments and modifications to the project scope. The final contract amount is $909,541.20, approximately 8% above the initial contract amount. FISCAL IMPACT The Caltrain Grade Crossing Improvements - Section 130 Program Project was included in the Capital Improvement Program Budget under the Transportation Grants Fund (FY 2016-17). No additional funding is required. Project construction costs are fully funded by the grant. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Accepting the project and releasing bonds and retention is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. When the contract was awarded, the City determined that the project was exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities).
