SUMMARY
The Alameda County Public Works Agency (ACPWA) completed the Hesperian Boulevard Corridor Improvement Project on April 3, 2023. This project was designed to benefit motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders through the installation of wider decorative sidewalks, pedestrian lighting, signal improvements, Class II buffered bicycle lanes, bus boarding islands, wider median areas, landscaping, and pavement rehabilitation on Hesperian Boulevard between Embers Way and West A Street. The City has jurisdiction over approximately 20% of the right-of-way along this corridor with the entire intersection of Hesperian Boulevard and West A Street falling completely under City jurisdiction. Through this collaboration with the County, the City was able to reduce overall administrative costs and minimize construction impacts and disruption in the surrounding community.
The project is now complete and ACPWA has issued the final invoice to the City, which included two unforeseen change orders, resulting in a higher final cost of the project than previously approved by Council. As a result of the gap in funding, staff is seeking authorization to appropriate an additional amount of $109,531.25 to Project 05338, in Measure BB (Local Transportation) Fund 212, to cover remaining cost of the project.
