WHEREAS, the project is supported by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) through the One Bay Area Grant 3 (OBAG3) program and closes a critical gap in the City’s active transportation network; and
WHEREAS, the project’s scope of work includes eliminating one vehicular travel lane in each direction to create continuous directional cycle tracks, widening sidewalks where feasible, and constructing bus stop and crosswalk improvements throughout the corridor; and
WHEREAS, this project will further close an active transportation gap between the Active Transportation Program (ATP)–funded Rumrill Boulevard Complete Streets project in the City of San Pablo and the ATP-funded Yellow Brick Road project in the City of Richmond; and
WHEREAS, the City publicly solicited bids for the project via BidsOnline on September 19, 2025, and received five (5) submissions; bids were opened on October 16, 2025; and
WHEREAS, Bauman Landscape and Construction Inc. was determined to be the lowest responsive and a responsible bidder at an amount of $3,993,481.50 following a comprehensive review of all submissions; and
WHEREAS, the contractor is responsive because its bid meets all requirements of the project and the terms and conditions of the contract, and responsible because it possesses the qualifications, experience, reputation, facilities, and financial resources necessary to perform the work; and
WHEREAS, City staff recommends establishing a construction contingency in the amount of $400,000 (10%), to be maintained at the budget level and available for change orders approved by the Director of Public Works for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $4,393,481.50 ; and
