Construction, Inc. <br /> of San Mateo. The project was awarded for a base bid of $139,379.75. Construction <br /> began in July, 2013 and concluded in November, 2013. <br /> The project included the installation of: crosswalk warning light system and coordinated <br /> flashing signs; realigned crosswalk to shorten crossing length; raised median as a <br /> pedestrian refuge area; curb bulb-outs with accessible ramps; new streetlight; and <br /> refreshed pavement markings. These changes have increased the safety and <br /> convenience for people crossing Massachusetts Avenue at Arizona Way, including <br /> Henry Ford School children, and they facilitate and encourage more walking in the area. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> The project was successfully completed in accordance with the project specifications. <br /> One change order for a total of $6,188.46 was issued. The final contract amount is <br /> $145,568.21, which is approximately 4% more than the initial contract amount. The <br /> change order resulted from quantity adjustments and additional sidewalk repair. <br />
