Subject: KING ROAD BRIDGE AT PENITENCIA
CREEK PROJECT
COUNCIL DISTRICT: _4_
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the second amendment to the agreement with
Creegan + D’Angelo for consultant services for the King Road Bridge at
Penitencia Creek Project, expanding the scope of the services at an additional
cost of $143,600, for a total agreement amount of $432,500.
BACKGROUND
The existing two-lane King Road Bridge at Penitencia Creek
is a roadway bottleneck that causes traffic congestion (map attached). Public Works Department staff is presently
designing a four-lane bridge that will replace the existing bridge and
construct sidewalks on both sides of the structure. Once completed, the new bridge will improve traffic capacity and
enhance safety.
On June 8, 1999, Council approved a consultant agreement
with Creegan + D’Angelo for design and construction support services for the
project in the amount of $288,900. On December 18, 2001, Council approved the first amendment to the
agreement that extended the term through December 31, 2003 at no additional
cost to the City.
Since then, the Department of Parks, Recreation and
Neighborhood Services (PRNS) requested additional work to be incorporated into
the design and installation of a traffic signal approximately 250 feet south of
the new bridge for an equestrian crossing.
This crossing will serve as a crucial link in the future equestrian
trail along the south side of Penitencia Creek. PRNS will fund the additional cost for the design and
construction of this crossing. The Department of Transportation also requested
a new traffic signal at the intersection of King Road and Commodore Drive. Additionally, staff recommends adding to
the consultant’s scope of services roadway design work for the widening of King
Road between Berryessa Road and Commodore Drive. This segment of King Road was originally scheduled to be widened
after the completion of the bridge project.
Staff believes that combining the bridge and roadway improvements into a
single project will minimize impacts to the adjacent community.
ANALYSIS
This second amendment to the agreement will modify the
consultant’s original scope of services to include the additional work
described above.
The consultant will prepare the plans, specifications, and
cost estimates for the proposed signalized equestrian crossing, the
construction of the traffic signal at King Road and Commodore Drive, the
traffic signal modification at King Road and Berryessa Road, and the widening
of King Road between Berryessa Road and Commodore Drive.
This amendment will not delay the design and construction of
the project. This project is scheduled
to be awarded in March 2003 with construction scheduled to begin in early May with completion in late December
2003.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Not applicable.
COORDINATION

second amendment to the agreement and memo has been coordinated with the Offices
