SUMMARY
This project is a continuation of the City’s median landscape and irrigation improvements project for the key corridors throughout the City. This is the eighth of multiple landscape improvement projects within the City. The original project’s scope included the improvements to four separate median islands on Hesperian Boulevard from West Winton Avenue to West A Street. The FY23 Median Landscape Improvement Project will construct to the improvement of median island along Hesperian Boulevard from Phillips Way to Sueirro Street.
This project is categorically exempt under Section 15301 (c) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines for the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing facilities.
On November 15, 2016, Council passed a resolution authorizing a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) with the Alameda County Building Trades Council (BTC), which applies to City projects with construction costs of $1,000,000 or more. Because the construction cost estimate for this Project is less than $1,000,000, the CWA agreement does not apply.
