6.C. - Page 2 of 5 who are going to four nearby schools (Attachment A). Both intersections are controlled by stop signs on minor approaches (Cleveland Street and Clinton Street). The intersection of Jefferson Avenue/Cleveland Street has a high visibility school crossing on the western approach of the intersection, crossing Jefferson. The intersection of Jefferson Avenue/Clinton Street has crosswalks across the northern and eastern approaches of the intersection. Currently, the crosswalk on the eastern approach has an overhead pedestrian actuated flashing beacon. The feedback received from the community, a 14 -hour video recording, and traffic collision patterns at this location indicate that drivers do not always yield to pedestrians at this crosswalk, even when the beacon is activated. In 2018, City received a Measure A grant for safety improvements at the Jefferson Avenue/Cleveland Street intersection. During the scoping process, the City decided to add the Jefferson Avenue/Clinton Streets to the project. In spring 2019, the City started the preliminary engineering phase with the development of conceptual alternatives. Based on the feedback received during the spring 2019 community meeting, traffic analysis including a signal warrant analysis, queue analysis, Level of Service (LOS) analysis and the collision patterns at these two intersections, the City moved forward with and completed the design of the preferred alternative: - Installation of a full traffic signal at Jefferson Avenue/Cleveland Street intersection with high - visibility crosswalks at all four legs, bicycle pocket, left turn restrictions for drivers on Jefferson, and right -turn only lane with diverter on the Cleveland Street approaches. - Replacement of the the existing beacon with a High Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) signal at Jefferson Avenue/Clinton Street intersection. Implementation of this project fills a gap in the existing school routes, supports the Safe Routes to School Program, and creates a better crossing of Jefferson Avenue along the Peninsula Bikeway.l Attachment A includes a map of the project location. ANALYSIS The City advertised the invitation to bid for three weeks, publishing the bid on May 27, 2020. Two bids were received for the Jefferson Avenue/Cleveland Street and Jefferson Avenue/Clinton Street Intersections Safety Improvement Project by the bid deadline on June 18, 2020. The bid amounts are summarized in the table below. Bidder Bid Amount 1 Gruendl Inc., DBA Ray's Electric $733,178.00 2 Golden Bay Construction, Inc. $795,179.00 Engineer's Estimate $897,100 to $1,000,100 1 The Peninsula Bikeway is a regional bicycle route from Redwood City to Mountain View initiated by the Managers Mobility Partnership (MMP). MMP is an agreement between Menlo Park, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Stanford University, and Joint Venture Silicon Valley to address regional transportation and mobility challenges. The project would fill a key gap along the Peninsula Bikeway and meet the MMP objective to enhance bicycle transportation and to create a regional bicycle network.
