Pedestrian Overcrossing Project
Project Description
The Project includes the following: (a) a pedestrian overcrossing over Route 101; (b) Class I Bicycle Facilities on each side of the pedestrian overcrossing;(c) an additional right turn lane and repaving at the southbound 101 off-ramp; (2) reconstruction of curb and gutters, curb ramps, and the center median on University Avenue; (3) reconstruction of the northbound 101 off ramp; (4) modify three traffic signals at the intersections on University Avenue.
All improvements will be constructed within the existing Caltrans right of way, City right of way, or an existing easement (ROW).
Scope of Services
The City’s Project Manager is responsible for oversight of the Construction Management Consultant and Design Consultant. The Design Consultant will provide construction design support services during construction for the project. The Design Consultant will be available to review and respond to all design related issues. The City Engineer is responsible for the overall direction and execution of this project.
Ghirardelli’s Resident Engineer (RE) will manage the construction contract management, inspection, and materials testing on behalf of the City. As such, the RE functions as the primary contact with the contractor in all matters of the contract. The RE will also ensure the community has been properly informed of the construction activities that would be taking place and that their concerns have been addressed.
