Director of Public Works

File No.: 16.01.291
TOPIC: FRANCISCO BOULEVARD WEST - RICE DRIVE TO SECOND STREET
PROJECT
SUBJECT: ACCEPT COMPLETION OF THE FRANCISCO BOULEVARD WEST - RICE
DRIVE TO SECOND STREET PROJECT (CITY PROJECT NO. 11364), AND
AUTHORIZE THE CITY CLERK TO FILE THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept completion of the Francisco Boulevard West – Rice Drive
to Second Street Project and authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion.
BACKGROUND: Francisco Boulevard West is a frontage road that parallels the west side of
Highway 101 between Second Street and Andersen Drive and connects downtown to the light-
industrial area of southern San Rafael. In July 2018, the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District
(SMART) realigned Francisco Boulevard West between Second Street and Rice Drive as part of
the Larkspur Extension to reduce the number of at-grade railroad crossings. The realignment
“flipped” the railroad tracks and roadway moving the roadway west of the tracks.
Since the Larkspur extension became operational, City staff and SMART staff have worked to
refine the operations of the new traffic signals at the railroad tracks; however, vehicles consistently
stop on the railroad tracks, including vehicles that turn east from Francisco Boulevard West onto
Second Street. To remove this conflict, staff proposed to convert Francisco Boulevard West to a
southbound one-way street between Second Street and Rice Drive. This proposed change was
implemented as part of the Francisco Boulevard West Multi-Use Path (MUP) project.
By converting Francisco Boulevard West to a one-way street, it also allowed the MUP two-way
protected cycle track to be constructed on the vacated travel lane. The MUP is a fully separated
Class 4 pathway extending the previously completed $5.96 million Phase I path between Rice
Drive and Andersen Drive to central San Rafael.
The project was advertised in accordance with San Rafael’s Municipal Code on May 15, 2020.
and sealed bids were publicly opened and read aloud June 4, 2020. On June 15, 2020, the City
Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the
low bidder, Ghilotti Bros., Inc in the amount of $2,259,787 and approving a construction
contingency of $253,498 for a total appropriation in an amount of $2,513,285. Construction
commenced on August 6, 2020, and all work was completed on March 26, 2021.
