6.1.D. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er September 24, 2012 SUBJECT Award of Contract — Bair Island Bay Trail Improvement Project RECOMMENDATION Approve, by motion, the contract documents and award the standard form contract 00520 for the Bair Island Bay Trail Improvement Project to Applied Water Resources Corporation of Walnut Creek, for their responsive and responsible low bid of $243,962.00 and authorize the City Manager to increase the contract amount, if necessary, up to 10% of the amount awarded. BACKGROUND The Bair Island Bay Trail Improvement project consists of improvements to an existing dirt trail between the eastern end terminus of Whipple Avenue and Bair Island Road. The proposed project paves the trail with asphalt concrete and designates it a Class I bicycle and pedestrian path. ANALYSIS This section of trail in its current unimproved condition prevents easy navigation by pedestrians and bicyclists. Improvements to this trail section create a continuous public use route between Coyote Point in Burlingame and Bair Island Road. Please see the attached project location map. The trail is located within jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) on land owned by PG&E. The city has received BCDC Permit 2012.003 for this project, obtained the property rights from PG&E to construct and maintain trail improvements, and secured a public access easement over the trail. A federal grant totaling $337,000 was awarded to the city for the work of this specific project as a result of staff's timely application for Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) funds. Five (5) bids were received for the Bair Island Bay Trail Improvement Project on August 30, 2012, and are summarized in the table below.
