3-Change Order No. 3 to the City Agreement No. 2024-0935 Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: In 2004, the City of Sacramento approved the Niños Parkway Master Plan which envisioned a Class 1 multi-use trail along Niños Parkway from Northfield Drive to Rio Norte Way.
Subsequent projects completed the trail from Northfield Drive to San Juan Road. The Niños Parkway Phase II Project will complete the trail network with an at-grade crossing of San Juan Road and an extension of the multi-use trail to Rio Norte Way. This project will connect Citrus Parke residents to

the completed Niños Parkway multi-use trail, Hazel Strauch Elementary School, and Rio Tierra Junior High School.
The Niños Parkway Phase II Project is currently under construction. Due to inclement weather the project had to be winterized with work restarting in 2025. Change Order No. 3 includes costs for winterization and remobilization as well as addressing quantity discrepancies in construction that exceeds the allowable City Manager supplemental contract signing authority per City Code. City Council action is required to execute this change order and reset City Manager change order authority.
Policy Considerations: The Project is consistent with the Sacramento 2040 General Plan goals and key policies of promoting safety and enhancing livability, sustainability, and economic vitality as follows: The project promotes the development of an interconnected City (GP LUP-2.2), healthy transportation system options (GP M-1.3), increase bicycling and walking (GP M-1.11), improve walking connectivity (GP M-1.15), improve bicycling connectivity (GP M-1.17). 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.
The recommendations in this report are consistent with the provisions of Sacramento City Code 3.60:
Contracts for Public Projects. Per City Code 3.60.090, all contracts for public projects involving an expenditure of $250,000 or more require approval by the City Council.
For contracts originally awarded for a price of at least $1,000,000, but less than $10,000,000, Section
3.04.020(A)(3) of the Sacramento City Code authorizes the city manager or designee to execute contract agreements that increase the contract amount, provided the sum of all contract amendments does not exceed 8% of the original contract price. As this contract amendment will exceed this percentage, City Council approval is required and staff is requesting the City Manager’s supplemental contract signing authority be reset.
Economic Impacts: This change order is expected to create 0.93 total jobs (0.53 direct jobs and
0.40 jobs through indirect and induced actives) and create $143,836 in total economic output ($90,661 of direct output and another $53,175 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:
File ID: 2025-01322 7/29/2025
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The project has been reviewed for compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined by staff to be consistent with the scope of the Niños Parkway Bike Trail Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and the Parkebridge Project (P04-212) Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The Niños Parkway Bike Trail MND and mitigation reporting plan were approved by the City Council on April 8, 2004 (Resolution No. 2004-260). The Parkebridge Residential Subdivision EIR was certified by the City Council on March 14, 2006 (Resolution No. 2006-192). The segment starting at San Juan Road, between Zenobia Way and Rio Tierra Avenue and extending north to the San Juan Ditch, is the portion of the project covered by the Niños Parkway Bike Trail MND. The bridge extending north over the San Juan Ditch to Citrusparke Avenue/Parkchannel Way was included in the Parkebridge EIR.
Environmental Planning staff has reviewed the above environmental documentation and approvals against the existing conditions and determined that the review and approvals are valid, with the exception that an addendum to the EIR was required to change the trail’s ditch crossing structure from the EIR noted ‘bridge’ (free-span) to the proposed box culvert (in channel).
An Addendum to the Parkebridge Residential Subdivision EIR was approved on March 27, 2023, and a Notice of Determination was filed with the Sacramento County Clerk and California Office of Planning and Research, State Clearinghouse in compliance with CEQA.
The subject action is covered by the analysis and documentation described above. None of the circumstances described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are present and no further environmental review is required.
Sustainability: The Project advances active modes of transportation by designing a Class I multi-use trail that provides improved accessibility to a wide range of users. A multi-modal transportation system reduces vehicle miles traveled, helping the City to achieve reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation accounts for 57% of community-wide greenhouse gas emissions, the largest single sector in the community..
Commission/Committee Action: The Project was presented to the Active Transportation Commission on April 21, 2022. The Project was presented to the Disabilities Advisory Commission on January 24, 2024. No additional recommendations were made.
Rationale for Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council approve Change Order No. 3 with Martin Brothers Construction for City Agreement No. 2024-0935. The proposed Change Order No. 3 provides compensation for $232,958 necessary to complete the construction of the project.
Financial Considerations: The estimated total cost to complete the Niños Parkway Phase II Project (K15202000) is approximately $3,516,000. With the approval of the transfer of $100,000 from
File ID: 2025-01322 7/29/2025
Transportation Development Impact Fee (Fund 3215) available fund balance and the approval of the transfer of $200,000 from South Natomas Facility Benefit Assessment District (Fund 2021) available fund balance, there will be sufficient funding within the Niños Parkway Phase II Project (K15202000) to execute Change Order No. 3 with Martin Brothers Construction for an amount not to exceed $232,958 and cover remaining construction management and all other project related costs.
Available fund balances are sufficient within the Transportation Development Impact Fee (Fund 3215) to support the transfer of $100,000 and the South Natomas Facility Benefit Assessment District (Fund 2021) to support the transfer of $200,000 to the Niños Parkway Phase II Project (K15202000).
There are no General Funds currently planned or allocated to this project.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): The contractor, Martin Brothers Construction, is an LBE.
