BACKGROUND: Third Street between San Rafael High School and Montecito Plaza Shopping Center, about 350 feet east of Union Street, has been a popular place to cross for high school aged students. Because of the volume and speed of traffic on Third Street, it was determined that the most appropriate traffic control would be a hybrid signal with a pedestrian refuge island to traverse Third Street. A hybrid signal means that the signal heads stay dark unless actuated by a pedestrian wishing to cross Third Street. The City of San Rafael and the San Rafael City Schools applied for and were successful in receiving $400,000 in Measure A Safe Pathways funding through the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM). The City and SRCS agreed to split any amount over the $400,000 grant. The Third Street/San Rafael High School Crosswalk Project included many safety improvements at this new crossing location. A two-stage crosswalk was added across Third Street, with a pedestrian refuge island in the middle. Curb extensions (or bulb-outs) were added to shorten the crossing length for pedestrians and increase sight lines between vehicles and pedestrians. Lastly, a hybrid traffic signal was added, which stays dark unless activated by a pedestrian. The project was advertised in accordance with San Rafael’s Municipal Code on June 25, 2020 and sealed bids were publicly opened and read aloud over a Zoom webinar on July 29, 2020 at 10:30 AM to comply with COVID-19 guidelines. On August 17, 2020, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the low bidder, Sposeto Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $389,939 and approving a construction contingency of $60,061 for a total appropriation in an amount of $450,000. Construction commenced on October 26, 2020, and all work was completed on August 6, 2021. ANALYSIS: Pursuant to Civil Code Section 3093, the City is required to record a Notice of Completion upon City acceptance of the improvements. This acceptance initiates a time period during which project SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 subcontractors may file Stop Notices seeking payment from the City from the funds owed to the Contractor for the project work.
