Previous Board Action |
1. |
Adopted Resolution Number 066388 on December 2, 2003, which "streamlined" the bid process for non-controversial maintenance type road projects, by authorizing the Director of Public Works to develop plans and specifications and to call for bids for projects identified in said resolution. |

Key Facts |
The proposed project was identified as one of the non-controversial road maintenance projects that could be advertised for bids by the Director of Public Works. |

Discussion |
The proposed project will resurface approximately 1.7 miles of County roads, including associated work. The City of Daly City has requested that we include the resurfacing of one of their streets in our project, and the North San Mateo County Sanitation District and the California Water Service Company have requested that their facilities in the project area be raised to grade in conjunction with our work. The streets to be resurfaced are shown on Exhibit "A." |
