RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Plans and Specifications. BACKGROUND: The Street Resurfacing American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 2009 project targets two collector and two arterial streets throughout the City of San Rafael for resurfacing. The streets to be repaired are: Kerner Boulevard from Bellam Boulevard to Canal Street, Las Gallinas Avenue from Montevideo Way to Lucas Valley Road, Nova Albion Way from Las Gallinas Avenue to Northgate Drive, and Smith Ranch Road from Old Redwood Highway to Silveira Parkway. The City expects to receive $989,000 from the President's Economic Stimulus Program, which will be spent on this street resurfacing project that is currently at Caltrans awaiting approval to proceed. There are constraints on the Economic Stimulus money such as having to award the project within 75 days and that the money can only be spent on arterial or collector streets. In order to comply with the requirements, Caltrans has requested that the projects be streamlined in order for them to review the projects coming to them from all of the cities and counties in their districts within the time constraints. In order to streamline the Caltrans review process, two projects were put out to bid to prepare for this street resurfacing project. The "Deep Lift Asphalt Repairs" project, formally bid, repaired the street failures and another project "Street Resurfacing 08/09 — ADA Curb Ramps", informally bid, constructed the ADA required curb ramps on the two arterial and two collector streets. These two projects were submitted to Caltrans for informational purposes only since they were funded with local funds and will not require Caltrans oversight.
