TO:

Honorable Board of Supervisors

FROM:

Neil R. Cullen, Director of Public Works

SUBJECT:

Resurfacing of Alameda de las Pulgas from Woodside Road to Stockbridge Avenue, Federal Project Number STPL-5935 (017) 04-SM-0-CR

 

Recommendation

Adopt a resolution adopting plans and specifications, determining prevailing wage scales, and calling for sealed proposals for the resurfacing of the Alameda de las Pulgas between Woodside Road and Stockbridge Avenue.

 

Previous Board Action

1.

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

 

2.

Authorized the Director of Public Works to execute agreements with public agencies, utility companies and special districts for utility type work less than $50,000 proposed to be done in conjunction with County road projects.

 

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 the County to proceed with advertising for bid.

 

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.

 

Fiscal Impact

The total estimated cost of construction is $227,000 and is proposed to be financed as follows:

 
 

Road Funds

$161,600

 

Federal Funds (STP)

$ 60,000

 

California Water Service Company

$ 5,400

TOTAL

$227,000

 

The utility type work is described in an agreement that has been executed by the Director as authorized by your Board.

 

A form of resolution has been approved by County Counsel.

 

There is no impact to the General Fund.
