Honorable Board of Supervisors

FROM:

Neil R. Cullen, Director of Public Works

SUBJECT:

Reconstruction/Resurfacing of a Portion of South Airport Boulevard - South San Francisco Area, Federal Project Number STPL-5935 (018) 04-SM-0-CR

 

Recommendation

Adopt a resolution adopting plans and specifications, determining prevailing wage scales, and calling for sealed proposals for the reconstruction/resurfacing of the portion of South Airport Boulevard that lies within the unincorporated area generally from San Bruno Avenue East to the South San Francisco City limits.

 

Previous Board Action

Authorized an application for Federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds to partially finance this reconstruction/resurfacing project.

 

Key Facts

1.

The proposed project is part of our overall program to preserve the County maintained road system.

 

2.

We have received a grant made available through the Federal Surface Transportation Program to partially finance the project.

   

Discussion

The proposed project consists of grinding the existing pavement, pavement repair, resurfacing the road with asphalt concrete, and installing new pavement markings and markers, all within the above-described limits.

 

The San Mateo County Planning Department has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements for preparation of an EIR under Section 15301(C) Class 1, of the California Environmental Quality Act and we have filed a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk.

 

Caltrans, which administers the Federal funding, has authorized us to proceed with advertising for bids for the work.

 

Vision Alignment

We believe our recommendation is consistent with Goal Number 7, "Maintain and Enhance the Public Safety of all Residents and Visitors" of the Shared Vision Commitment to "Ensure Basic Health and Safety for All," as the project helps to preserve a road which is a part of the integrated (state/county/city) public road system.

The total estimated cost of construction is $300,000 and is proposed to be financed as follows:

 
 

Road Funds

$68,000

 
 

STP Funds

$232,000

 
 

TOTAL

A form of resolution has been approved by County Counsel.

 

There is no impact to the General Fund.
