SUMMARY
In FY23, Council directed Maintenance Services to design, reconstruct, and replace the gateway monument sign located Jackson Street and Silva Avenue. Jackson Street is an arterial route to access Downtown Hayward, Highways 880 and 580, and the Hayward/San Mateo Bridge. As one of the most heavily traveled routes in the City, construction of a new gateway sign will create a distinct, attractive, and strategic wayfinding marker for residents and visitors entering the City. In May 2024, staff released a call for bids and received only one (1) bid. The submitted bid was almost 20% over engineer’s estimate, with specific line items ranging from 80% - 778% of estimation. Staff is requesting Council to reject the sole bid, approve the revised plans and specifications, and call for construction bids to be received on October 30, 2024.
