Agenda Item No: 4.g Meeting Date: March 6, 2017 Department: Public Works SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Prepared by: Bill Guerin, Director of Public Works TOPIC: ADA-DOJ CURB RAMPS 2016-2017 City Manager Approval: File No.: 16.01.282 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AWARD A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE ADA-DOJ CURB RAMPS 2016-2017 PROJECT #11297 TO QUIMU CONTRACTING, INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $182,675. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager to award the construction contract to Quimu Contracting, Inc. BACKGROUND: In August 2004, the City of San Rafael entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Federal Department of Justice (DOJ) to address a lack of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related accessibility issues in City-owned facilities and the public right-of-way. A section of the Agreement calls for the City to construct curb ramps or sloped areas at various intersections to provide access for pedestrians. In 2004, Public Works identified a backlog of 797 curb ramps requiring construction. In 2014, the DOJ agreed to our request to temporarily waive construction of 32 of the original 797 ramps, reducing the City s target to 765 (797-32=765), and to extend the Settlement Agreement expiration date to February 2019. To date, the City has installed 453 of the 765 curb ramps. In June 2016, the DOJ agreed to no longer require the City to complete all the curb ramps by February 2019 and has closed its file under the condition that the City will complete its obligation to perform all remedial actions under the Settlement Agreement, including the completion of the 312 curb ramps that remain to be constructed over time, and to continue to allocate a specific amount of funding each year for that purpose. The proposed project includes construction of 12 new ADA compliant curb ramps and related storm drainage improvements along Peacock Drive in the Peacock Gap Neighborhood. In keeping with our standard practices, Public Works staff conducted a multi-modal study of the locations specific to this project to ensure that the most reasonable facilities for all modes of travel were included in the project design. The study was completed on December 30, 2016. FOR CITY CLERK ONLY File No.: Council Meeting: Disposition:
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 The ADA-DOJ Curb Ramps 2016-2017 project has been determined to have no significant environmental effect. A Notice of Exemption was filed at the Marin County Clerk s Office on January 9, 2017. The project was advertised in accordance with San Rafael s Municipal Code on January 12, 2017. The engineer s estimate was $210,000. The following bids were received and read aloud on February 8, 2017, at 11:00 AM: NAME OF BIDDER AMOUNT Quimu Contracting, Inc. $182,675.00 FBD Vanguard Construction $182,686.00 Coastside Concrete and Construction, Inc. $182,780.00 Ghilotti Bros., Inc. $207,097.00 Kerex Engineering $213,000.00 W.R. Forde Associates $222,215.00 J.J.R. Construction, Inc. $234,807.00 Maggiora & Ghilotti, Inc. $277,000.00 ANALYSIS: The referenced bids have been reviewed by Public Works staff and the bid from Quimu Contracting, Inc. was found to be both responsive and responsible. The low bid from Quimu Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $182,675 falls within the project budget. Constructing curb ramp work at this time of year is challenging due to the potential for weather-related delays. However, the CDBG grant requires completion of the majority of the construction by April 1, 2017. Staff therefore recommends awarding the contract at this time in order to complete construction within the time frame dictated by the grant. PUBLIC OUTREACH: Prior to commencement of construction, Public Works staff will send letters to property owners and residents of adjacent properties notifying them of the upcoming construction, providing a link to the project website listing a detailed construction schedule, and providing a phone number to call with any questions. FISCAL IMPACT: The following tables summarize funding sources and expenses: Funding Source: Project Funding Sources Allocation Community Development Block Grant $95,937 Gas Tax Fund (Fund #206) [16/17 CIP] $150,000 Total Available Funds $245,937 Expenses: Design Costs Amount Environmental Document and Topographic Survey $5,650.76 Design Subtotal $5,650.76 Construction Costs Construction Contract $182,675.00 Construction Contingency (Approx. 12%) $21,921.00
