Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends acceptance of the work by Chrisp Company, filing of the Notice of Completion, release of the performance and payment bonds, and release of the maintenance bond upon completion of the one-year maintenance period.
BACKGROUND
This project installed striping, pavement markings and signs to create bike lanes and bike routes in accordance with the San Leandro Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan in the portion of San Leandro east of the BART tracks. As a result, bicyclists now have an improved network of bikeways for traveling within the easterly portion of San Leandro. The subject project added 2.3 centerline miles of Class II bike lanes and 10.5 centerline miles of Class III bike routes. There are now approximately 21 centerline miles of bike lanes and 14 centerline miles of bike routes in San Leandro. Based on the completion of the subject project, about 75% of the bike lanes and 60% of the bike routes programmed in the San Leandro Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan have been installed.
As part of this project, green bike lanes, which enhance safety for bicyclists at busier intersections, were installed for the first time in San Leandro. Bike lane buffers were also installed where there was adequate space to help separate bike lanes from the adjacent vehicular travel lane.
Analysis
The work was inspected and complied with the contract documents and City standards. Construction is now complete.
