TOPIC: THIRD STREET / SAN RAFAEL HIGH SCHOOL CROSSWALK PROJECT NOTICE
OF COMPLETION
SUBJECT: ACCEPT COMPLETION OF THE THIRD STREET / SAN RAFAEL HIGH SCHOOL
CROSSWALK PROJECT (CITY PROJECT NO. 11354), AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY
CLERK TO FILE THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION
RECOMMENDATION: Accept completion of the Third Street / San Rafael High School Crosswalk
Project and authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion.
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
