SUMMARY
The New Sidewalks FY19 Project calls for three locations where new sidewalks will be installed: Calhoun Street, Muir Street, and Walpert Street. The project will help provide a safe and continuous pedestrian route to Saint Clement School, John Muir Elementary School, and Hayward High School. Existing driveways and curb ramps in new sidewalk areas will be reconstructed to comply with the current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
On March 21, 2019, the project received five (5) bids, with one bid below the Engineer's Estimate. At $1,372,881.20, the low bid received is $92,118.80, or 6.3%, below the Engineer's Estimate of $1,465,000. Staff recommends award of contract to the responsible low bidder, McGuire and Hester, in the amount of $1,372,881.20. Staff also requests approval of $350,000 for Administrative Change Orders. The project budget of $2,540,000 is funded via Measure B (Pedestrian and Bicycle) and Measure BB (Pedestrian and Bicycle) funds.
Because the low bid was lower than the Engineer's Estimate and the majority of design work was performed by City staff, staff also requests Council approval to use the remaining amount of approximately $357,000 from the original project budget to construct a new sidewalk access to the frontage of the proposed Hayward Housing Navigation Center...
