Title
Staff Report for a Resolution Accepting the Work for the Annual Overlay/Rehabilitation 2012-13 Project (Project No. 2013-0050)
Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the work and authorize the City Manager to file the Notice of Completion, release the performance and payment bonds and release the maintenance bond upon successful completion of the one-year maintenance period.
BACKGROUND
Each year the City funds a road rehabilitation project. The streets included in this project were selected based on information from the City's Pavement Management System, the amount of available funds, proximity to future projects and other engineering factors.
This project reconstructed the asphalt concrete pavement on the following street segments:
· Floresta Boulevard from Fremont Avenue to the Interstate 880 concrete overpass
· Farnsworth Street from the Interstate 880 concrete overpass to 270 feet to the southwest
· Fremont Avenue from Alvarado Street to Floresta Boulevard
Streets were reconstructed utilizing a cement-stabilized base process in which the existing subgrade was mixed with cement and then overlaid with asphalt concrete pavement.
Floresta Boulevard and Farnsworth Street were restriped to include Class II bicycle lanes. As a result, the number of through-lanes in each direction was reduced from two to one.
Other work items included in the project were installation of rubber speed cushions (speed bumps) on selected streets and miscellaneous paving, striping and pedestrian-related improvements at the railroad crossings on Williams Street, Marina Boulevard, Fairway Drive, and Lewelling Boulevard.

Construction is complete. The work was inspected and deemed to comply with the contract documents and City standards.
