DISCUSSION:
This project placed 9 miles of highly reflective thermoplastic pavement striping on Kneeland Road and Freshwater Road to increase the visibility of centerlines, edge lines, and other pavement markings at night and during wet conditions.
On Aug. 15, 2017, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Clerk of the Board to advertise the above-referenced project for bids. On September 19, 2017, the county received two bids for the project. The contract was awarded to Central Striping Service, Inc., the lowest responsible bidder, on Oc.t 17, 2017. The award amount was $189,700, and contract change orders through project completion amounted to a decrease of $11,068.50.
The Department of Public Works recommends that the Board of Supervisors accept the completed contract, including all change orders approved by the Public Works Department, for this project and approve the final claim for payment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Total construction costs for this project were $178,631.50. This project was funded through the California Department of Transportation Highway Safety Improvement Program, which provided 100 percent of construction funding using toll credits in lieu of non-federal matching funds. Construction costs were included in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Road Fund Budget; therefore, this project has no impact on the General Fund.
This project conforms to the Board of Supervisors' Core Role of providing for and maintaining infrastructure as identified in the Board's Strategic Framework.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board may choose not to accept the project. However, staff does not recommend this alternative because the project has been completed, and the requested Board actions are needed to accept the contract.
