Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: Franklin Boulevard is a major arterial corridor that extends from Broadway to the City of Elk Grove, with territory in the City of Sacramento and unincorporated Sacramento County. The corridor serves various community spaces and connects neighborhoods.
As a lengthy corridor, improvements have been constructed in several phases. A major transformation of the northern portion of the corridor from Sutterville Road/12th Avenue to 38th Avenue is currently under construction. The City of Sacramento and Sacramento County have completed several capital improvement projects along Franklin Boulevard between Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard and Cosumnes River Boulevard. These projects installed protected bikeways, modified signals, performed road rehabilitation and incorporated other transportation enhancements to ease pedestrian use and reduce biking stress. The Franklin Boulevard Gap Closure project fills the gap in active transportation improvements on Franklin Boulevard from Mack Road to A Parkway.
On August 30, 2022, the City Council approved submittal of the project for State Local Partnership Program funding. On January 1, 2025, the California Transportation Commission allocated $750,000 in State funding for this project. The project will perform roadway rehabilitation and install Class II buffered bike lanes, signal modifications, ADA compliant curb ramps, signage, and high visibility pavement markings. These improvements will incorporate active transportation elements that increase pedestrian and bicyclist safety and bring the pavement condition of Franklin Boulevard to a state of good repair.
The scope includes the removal of one volunteer City tree to mitigate damage to City traffic signal equipment at the intersection of Franklin Boulevard and Boyce Drive. Pursuant to Sacramento City Code 12.56.030, Urban Forestry posted a tree removal notice at the palm on 10/17/2024, the last day for public objection was 11/01/2024, and withstanding any objection, may be removed on or after 11/04/2024.
Because a portion of the project area is outside of City limits but in unincorporated Sacramento County, the City and County are entering into a Cost Share Agreement where the County has agreed pay the portion of costs for roadway rehabilitation, striping, and traffic signal work within the unincorporated Sacramento County.
Final design plans and specifications for the Franklin Boulevard Gap Closure Project have been completed. See Attachments 3 and 6.
Policy Considerations: The project is consistent with the City General Plan goals and key policies of promoting safety and enhancing livability, sustainability, and economic vitality. The Project promotes the development of a connected network (General Plan ERC 2.1.2), connections to other trails (General Plan ERC 2.4.3), providing multi-modal choices (General Plan M 1.2.1), and providing
File ID: 2025-01201 6/24/2025
a continuous bikeway network (General Plan M 5.1.3). The Project is consistent with the Mobility Element to create a well-connected transportation network through integration of recreation and community facilities with other public spaces. The Project is a near-term goal for the bikeway implementation plan.
Sacramento City Code Section 4.04.020 and Council Rules of Procedure (Chapter 7, Section E.2.d) mandate that unless waived by a 2/3 vote of the City Council, all labor agreements and all agreements greater than $1,000,000 shall be made available to the public at least ten (10) days prior to council action. This item was published for 10-day review on June 12, 2025, in compliance with the City Code.
Pursuant to Sacramento City Code 12.56.030, Urban Forestry posted a tree removal notice at the palm on 10/17/2024, the last day for public objection was 11/01/2024, and withstanding any objection, may be removed on or after 11/04/2024. The code section also requires City Council approval prior to removing city trees.
Economic Impacts: This new infrastructure is expected to create 14.16 total jobs (8.14 direct jobs and 6.02 jobs through indirect and induced actives) and create $2,185,793 in total economic output ($1,377,722 of direct output and another $808,071 of output through indirect and induced activities).
The indicated economic impacts are estimates calculated using a calculation tool developed by the Center for Strategic Economic Research (CSER). CSER utilized the IMPLAN input-output model (2009 coefficients) to quantify the economic impacts of a hypothetical $1 million of spending in various construction categories within the City of Sacramento in an average one-year period. Actual impacts could differ significantly from the estimates and neither the City of Sacramento nor CSER shall be held responsible for consequences resulting from such differences.
Environmental Considerations: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The Community Development Department, Environmental Planning Services Division has determined that Franklin Boulevard Gap Closure is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Categorical Exemption-State Class 1 & 3 and Section Number(s) 15301(c) and 15303.
Projects exempted under Class 1 & 3 and Section Number(s) 15301(c) and 15303 consist of the operation, repair, or minor alteration of public streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle lanes, and similar facilities involving no expansion of use [15301(c)]. The project also consists of the construction, location, and installation of new small equipment (15303). There would be no significant effect on the environment.
Sustainability: The project is consistent with the City’s General Plan goals of promoting walking by developing a universally accessible, safe, convenient, integrated, and well-connected pedestrian
File ID: 2025-01201 6/24/2025
system. Transportation is also responsible for 57% of Sacramento’s local greenhouse gas emissions, the single largest sector. Providing safe and bikeable transportation alternatives helps to reduce single-occupant vehicle use and contributes towards Sacramento’s climate change goals.
Commission/Committee Action: The project was reviewed by the Disabilities Advisory Commission (DAC) on September 6, 2023. The DAC commented on ensuring the curb ramps are retrofitted to the current standards. Comments also noted the constraints caused by existing utility poles in the sidewalk and to coordinate with the Sacramento County for shared contributions. The project was also reviewed by the Active Transportation Committee (ATC) on September 21, 2023. The ATC comments reflected the importance of pedestrian and bicycle improvements of the project along Franklin Boulevard.
Rationale for Recommendation: The project was advertised on March 28, 2025, and bids were received on April 16, 2025. The bids are summarized below:
Contractor Bid Amount LBE Requirement (5%
Goal)
O.C. Jones & Sons, Inc. $ 3,540,119.00 8.10%
George Reed, Inc. $ 3,543,970.50 42.27%
Ghilotti Bros., Inc. $ 3,653,319.00 7.95%

The engineer’s estimate was $3,983,995.
Of the seven bids, All-American Construction Inc. was the lowest bidder. However, this company did not meet the LBE requirement of 5% so it was deemed non-responsive. It is recommended that the construction contract be awarded to the following lowest responsive and responsible bidder, O.C.
Jones and Sons Inc.
Construction of this project also requires construction management services including a trained Resident Engineer. A competitive procurement for construction management, inspection and material testing was performed and Salaber Associates Inc. was selected as the firm to provide these services.
The award of the construction and construction management contracts requires City Council approval. The required budgetary transactions to accommodate these obligations also require City Council approval.
File ID: 2025-01201 6/24/2025
Financial Considerations: The estimated total cost to complete the Franklin Boulevard Gap Closure Project is approximately $5.55 million. With the increases in the revenue and expenditure budget of $894,468 (CIP Reimbursable Fund, Fund 3702) and $750,000 (Other Capital Grants Fund 3704), there will be sufficient funding in the Transportation Corridor Program (R15200000) (Fund 2036) to award the construction contract to O.C. Jones and Sons, Inc for an amount not-to-exceed $3,540,119, to award the construction management professional services agreement to Salaber and Associates Inc. for an amount not to exceed $464,323, and cover all other project costs.
There are no General Funds planned or allocated for this project.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): O.C. Jones & Sons, Inc. is not an LBE but has partnered with two LBEs for this project to exceed the minimum LBE participation requirement. The contract award will comply with the LBE participation requirement goal of 5%.
The Construction Management firm, Salaber and Associates Inc., is an LBE.
