TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications, and Calling for Bids for the Municipal Parking Lots No. 8 Improvement Project No. 05740
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) approving the plans and specifications, and calling for bids to be received on November 29, 2022 for the Municipal Parking Lots (Muni Lot) No. 8 Improvement Project No. 05740.
SUMMARY
This project is a continuation of the City’s municipal parking lot improvement project. This is the eighth of several parking lot improvement projects within the downtown area of the City. This lot services parking needs for businesses along Mission Boulevard, Main Street, C Street, D Street and Foothill Boulevard. Once the Council approves this project, bids will be received on November 29, 2022 and staff will return to Council for contract award.
BACKGROUND
This project is part of an annual pavement rehabilitation and preventive maintenance program for the City’s nine municipal parking lots. Improvements of Municipal Parking Lots No. 1 to 6 have been completed and Muni Lot No. 7, D1 and D2 will soon be completed which not only improved the pavement and aesthetic condition of the parking lots, but also added additional parking stalls including accessible parking spaces for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.
DISCUSSION
The project consists of improving the current condition of Muni Lot No. 8 by upgrading the parking configuration to City standards and ADA parking spaces requirements. Additional improvements include pavement rehabilitation, additional landscaping, additional LED parking lot lighting, parking stall striping, markings and signages.
Muni Lot No. 8 is located in the Downtown adjacent to the old City Hall building, which continues servicing public parking needs for offices and retail establishments on Mission Boulevard, Main Street, C Street, D Street, and Foothill Boulevard.
Improvements to be performed with this project include the reconfiguration of the parking lot to generate additional stalls in compliance with City standards and ADA requirements.
The project is categorically exempt for environmental review under Section 15301(c) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines for the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing facilities.
On November 15, 2016, Council passed a resolution authorizing a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) with the Alameda County Building Trades Council (BTC), which applies to City projects with construction costs of $1,000,000 or more. The agreement requires contractors to use local union hiring halls, encourages contractors to employ Hayward residents or Hayward Unified School District graduates, and requires hired workers to pay union dues and other benefit trust fund contributions, etc. Because the construction cost estimate for this Project is less than $1,000,000, the CWA agreement does not apply.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
The improvement of the parking amenities will provide convenience for visitors to the downtown area and expected to increase activity to nearby businesses.
The work has been scheduled in two phases specifically to ensure that most parking stalls are available for use during the work in order to minimize impact on the downtown businesses.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Adopted FY23 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes $750,000 for this project in the Street System Improvements – Fund 450.
The estimated project costs are as follows:
Construction Contract
$600,000
Construction Contingency
90,000
Landscaping – City Staff
30,000
Design and Administration
15,000
Construction Survey, Inspection and Testing
