SUBJECT: ADOPT PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR STREET RESURFACING
AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT 2009 PROJECT #11108,
AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY CLERK TO CALL FOR BIDS.
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.
