SUMMARY
On January 24, 2023, Council approved the plans, specifications and call for bids for the SR2S Project. The SR2S Program, funded by Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC), supports safe access and mobility to and from schools by funding sustainable transportation improvement for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders. In FY22, the City was successful in obtaining the SR2S Mini-Grant to fund improvements for Cesar Chavez Middle School (CCMS), including installation of paint and post curb extensions, yellow high-visibility crosswalks and signage among other enhancements. One bid was received for this project. After reviewing the bid proposal, staff deemed the bid unresponsive and is requesting Council reject the sole unresponsive bidder, approve the revised plans, specifications, and call for construction bids to be received on May 9, 2023.
