Additional Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Downtown Mobility Project, frequently referred to as the Central City Mobility Project, is nearing advertisement for construction. The purpose of the Downtown Mobility Project is to implement bikeway and roadway modifications consistent with the Grid 3.0 Plan and Central City Specific Plan. The City was awarded construction funding through the State Local Partnership Program (Senate Bill 1) to extend the bikeway improvements on P Street, Q Street, and 10th Street, implement new Class IV protected bikeways on 9th Street: between H Street and Q Street; on I th st

Street between 12th Street and 21st Street; and to convert segments of 5th Street to two-way traffic, which will improve bi-directional mobility, calm vehicular speeds, and improve bicycle access.
Additionally, the Downtown Mobility Project will implement the Midtown Protected Bikeway Mobility Project as described in a memorandum of understanding with the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC) to support their planned Midtown Station. The project will also repair pavement in critical condition and apply preventative maintenance treatments to extend the useful life of fair-performing pavement.
On August 17, 2022, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) approved the allocation of $5 million of State Local Partnership Program (LPP) construction funding for the Downtown Mobility Project. This funding is a critical component of the project construction phase financing and approval by the City Council is required to appropriate these funds into the project revenue and expenditure budget.
The City advertised a competitive solicitation for proposals from engineering consulting firms to provide the necessary professional services to support the construction of the project. One firm submitted a proposal and a panel comprised of three staff from the Department of Public Works recommended moving forward with 4LEAF, Inc. With the construction advertisement scheduled for November 2022, the City Council award of the professional services agreement to 4LEAF, Inc. for Construction Management services is necessary to ensure the project is appropriately staffed for construction anticipated to start in Spring 2023.
Policy Considerations: The actions requested herein are consistent with the City’s goals of improving and expanding public safety and enhancing livability. Specific goals the project addresses are as follows:
M1.2.1 - The City shall develop an integrated, multimodal transportation system that improves the attractiveness of walking, bicycling, and riding transit over time to increase travel choices and aid in achieving a more balanced transportation system and reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
These improvements will accommodate cyclists of varying experience levels and abilities, will improve pedestrian safety, and may calm traffic speeds. This project is also consistent with the City’s Vision Zero efforts, the goal of which is to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries (Resolution No. 2017-0032). These streets are on the High Injury Network, and in addition to installing bicycle facilities, the project will also improve visibility to pedestrians and bicyclists at intersections.
The proposed City Council action is consistent with the City’s policy which requires all agreements and appropriation of funds over $250,000 be approved by the City Council.
Economic Impacts: None.
File ID: 2022-01837 11/29/2022 Consent Item 14.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The activities associated with the Downtown Mobility Project implementing roadway modifications consistent with those identified within Grid 3.0 Plan and the Central City Specific Plan (CCSP) were evaluated in the environmental impact report (EIR) certified for the CCSP by City Council on April 19, 2018 (Resolution No. 2018-00129) and a Notice of Determination was filed with the Sacramento County Clerk on April 20, 2018. None of the circumstances in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 or 15163 are present that would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR or a supplement to an EIR. No further environmental review is required.
Sustainability: The strategy under development supports City Council’s sustainability priorities.
The transportation sector accounts for 56% of community-wide greenhouse gas emissions, the largest single sector in the community. The City’s Climate Action Plan includes several implementation measures to reduce vehicle trips. The project would increase active transportation, reduce vehicular trips, and help ensure more efficient vehicular flow. These actions will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help improve local air quality.
Commission/Committee Action: The project (also known as the “Central City Mobility Project”) was presented to the Active Transportation Commission (ATC) on November 21, 2019 and on September 16, 2021 for review and comment. The ATC was supportive of the project and offered comments on the bike lane configuration on I street and the potential for 2-way conversions on parallel roadways.
Rationale for Recommendation: City staff advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Construction Management Services on May 25, 2022. The consultant selection process, including proposal review and interviews, was completed June 29, 2022, 4LEAF, Inc. was selected as the consultant team. Approval of a professional services agreement with 4LEAF Inc. will enable the City to perform constructability reviews and pre-construction activities leading up to construction of the Downtown Mobility Project in the timeline required by the grant funds awarded to the project. This contract award requires the City Council approval and a public review period per City Code. The required financial transactions to accommodate contract award also require City Council approval.
Financial Considerations: The total estimated project cost for the Downtown Mobility Project is approximately $14.8 million. With the increase in the revenue and expenditure budget of the Downtown Mobility Project (T15195000) by $5,000,000 (Other Capital Grants, Fund 3704), there will be sufficient funding to award a professional services agreement to 4LEAF, Inc. for construction management services for an amount not to exceed $999,726 as well as cover the staff and administrative time required to manage the project. Additional local funding will be added at the award of the construction contract in the future.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): 4LEAF Inc. is an LBE.
