DISCUSSION
Background

File #: 24-0807, Version: 1
The City presently has a robust network of signals that are interconnected with fiber to facilitate more efficient traffic congestion management along City transportation corridors. The City currently leases fiber service from AT&T to provide the needed communications to traffic signals as well as data connections between City buildings.

The City’s Fiber Optic Master Plan sets forth the general framework for fiber connectivity for the traffic signal network and identifies priority segments for construction. The City’s Fiber Optic Master Plan will make it possible to establish City fiber network that can be independent from AT&T’s network as the system is constructed into the future. The Fiber Segment Construction, Project No. WARP504,will construct a segment identified in the Fiber Optic Master Plan along El Dorado Street through Downtown with connections between City buildings and traffic signal cabinets. Construction includes additional conduits that could be used in the future for City-owned infrastructure purposes.

On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. On August 20, 2024, by Motion No. 2024-08-20-1203, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2029. The CWTA was applied to this project as the estimated construction cost is over $1 million.

Present Situation
On June 13, 2024, the Fiber Segment Construction, Project No. WARP504, was advertised for bids.

On July 11, 2024, two bids were received with the following results:

COMPANY NAME BID AMOUNT
Pacific Excavation, Inc. (Elk Grove, CA) $2,349,908
Nexlevel of California, Inc. (Maple Lake, MN) $2,529,466 Engineer’s Estimate $2,172,700
The bid from Pacific Excavation, Inc., the lowest responsive bidder, is regular in all respects and has the proper license to perform the work. It is recommended that Council approve the plans and specifications for the project and award a Construction Contract to Pacific Excavation, Inc. of Elk Grove, CA, in the amount of $2,349,908.

The project is in conformance with the City’s General Plan, pursuant to California Government Code section 65402, and is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA as specified under Section 15301(c) of the CEQA guidelines. The activities related to this project constitute a discretionary project under the City’s jurisdiction and qualifies as a project that does not have a significant effect on the environment. The resolution will approve the filing of Notice of Exemption No.

NOE20-24 under CEQA. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2024 and be completed by May 2025, weather permitting.

6. WORKING DAYS. It is agreed by the parties to the contract that in case all the work called for under the contract in all parts and requirements, is not finished or completed within the number of days as set forth, damage will be sustained by CITY, and that it is and will be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual damage which CITY will sustain in the event of and by reason of such delay; and it is therefore agreed that CONTRACTOR will pay to CITY the sum of FIVE THOUSAND TWO HUNDERED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,200) per day for each and every calendar day's delay in finishing the work in excess of the number of days prescribed; and CONTRACTOR agrees to pay said liquidated damages as herein provided, and in case the same are not paid, agrees that CITY, may deduct the amount thereof from any monies due or that may become due CONTRACTOR under the contract.

CONTRACTOR shall have no claim for any other compensation for any such delay.

1. Form FHWA-1273 must be physically incorporated in each construction contract funded under title 23, United States Code, as required in 23 CFR 633.102(b) (excluding
emergency contracts solely intended for debris removal). The contractor (or subcontractor) must insert this form in each subcontract and further require its inclusion in all lower tier subcontracts (excluding purchase orders, rental agreements and other agreements for supplies or services). 23 CFR
633.102(e).

The applicable requirements of Form FHWA-1273 are
incorporated by reference for work done under any purchase order, rental agreement or agreement for other services. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor, lower-tier subcontractor or service provider. 23 CFR 633.102(e).

Form FHWA-1273 must be included in all Federal-aid designbuild contracts, in all subcontracts and in lower tier subcontracts (excluding subcontracts for design services, purchase orders, rental agreements and other agreements for supplies or services) in accordance with 23 CFR 633.102. The design-builder shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor, lower-tier subcontractor or service provider.

Contracting agencies may reference Form FHWA-1273 in
solicitation-for-bids or request-for-proposals documents, however, the Form FHWA-1273 must be physically
incorporated (not referenced) in all contracts, subcontracts and lower-tier subcontracts (excluding purchase orders, rental agreements and other agreements for supplies or services related to a construction contract). 23 CFR 633.102(b).

2. Subject to the applicability criteria noted in the following sections, these contract provisions shall apply to all work performed on the contract by the contractor's own organization and with the assistance of workers under the contractor's immediate superintendence and to all work performed on the contract by piecework, station work, or by subcontract. 23 CFR 633.102(d).

3. A breach of any of the stipulations contained in these Required Contract Provisions may be sufficient grounds for withholding of progress payments, withholding of final
payment, termination of the contract, suspension / debarment or any other action determined to be appropriate by the contracting agency and FHWA.

4. Selection of Labor: During the performance of this contract, the contractor shall not use convict labor for any purpose within the limits of a construction project on a Federal-aid highway unless it is labor performed by convicts who are on parole, supervised release, or probation. 23 U.S.C. 114(b).

The term Federal-aid highway does not include roadways
functionally classified as local roads or rural minor collectors. 23 U.S.C. 101(a).

II. NONDISCRIMINATION (23 CFR 230.107(a); 23 CFR Part
230, Subpart A, Appendix A; EO 11246)
The provisions of this section related to 23 CFR Part 230, Subpart A, Appendix A are applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related construction
subcontracts of $10,000 or more. The provisions of 23 CFR Part 230 are not applicable to material supply, engineering, or architectural service contracts.

In addition, the contractor and all subcontractors must comply with the following policies: Executive Order 11246, 41 CFR Part 60, 29 CFR Parts 1625-1627, 23 U.S.C. 140, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794), Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.), and related regulations including 49 CFR Parts 21, 26, and 27; and 23 CFR Parts 200, 230, and 633.

The contractor and all subcontractors must comply with: the requirements of the Equal Opportunity Clause in 41 CFR 60-

1.4(b) and, for all construction contracts exceeding $10,000, the Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity
Construction Contract Specifications in 41 CFR 60-4.3.

Note: The U.S. Department of Labor has exclusive authority to determine compliance with Executive Order 11246 and the policies of the Secretary of Labor including 41 CFR Part 60, and 29 CFR Parts 1625-1627. The contracting agency and
the FHWA have the authority and the responsibility to ensure compliance with 23 U.S.C. 140, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794), and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.), and related regulations including 49 CFR Parts 21, 26, and 27; and 23 CFR Parts 200, 230, and 633.

Opportunity (EEO) requirements not to discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth under laws, executive orders, rules, regulations (see 28 CFR Part 35, 29 CFR Part 1630, 29 CFR Parts 1625-1627, 41 CFR Part 60 and 49 CFR Part 27) and orders of the Secretary of Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed herein, and imposed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140, shall constitute the EEO and specific affirmative action standards for the contractor's project activities under this contract. The provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) set forth under 28 CFR Part 35 and 29 CFR Part 1630 are incorporated by reference in this contract. In the execution of this contract, the contractor agrees to comply with the following minimum specific requirement activities of EEO:
a. The contractor will work with the contracting agency and the Federal Government to ensure that it has made every good faith effort to provide equal opportunity with respect to all of its terms and conditions of employment and in their review of activities under the contract. 23 CFR 230.409 (g)(4) & (5). b. The contractor will accept as its operating policy the following statement:
"It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during
employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, color, national origin, age or disability. Such action shall include: employment,
upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including
apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship, and/or on-the-job
training."

2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make
known to the contracting officers an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active EEO program and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do so.

3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action or are substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant of and will implement the contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum:
a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which time the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be
reviewed and explained. The meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer or other knowledgeable company official.

b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor. c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minorities and women.

d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees.
e. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to
implement such policy will be brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or
other appropriate means.

4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the
contractor will include in all advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such
advertisements will be placed in publications having a large circulation among minorities and women in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived. a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid
bargaining agreement, conduct systematic and direct
recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minorities and women. To meet this requirement, the contractor will identify sources of potential minority group employees and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority and women applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment consideration.
b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining
agreement providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, the contractor is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system meets the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. Where
implementation of such an agreement has the effect of
discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to do the same, such implementation violates Federal nondiscrimination provisions.
c. The contractor will encourage its present employees to refer minorities and women as applicants for employment.

Information and procedures with regard to referring such applicants will be discussed with employees.

5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and
employee benefits shall be established and administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age or disability.

The following procedures shall be followed:
a. The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to ensure that working conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site personnel.
b. The contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each classification to determine any
evidence of discriminatory wage practices.
c. The contractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to determine whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found, the contractor will promptly take corrective action. If the review indicates that the discrimination may extend beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action shall include all affected persons.
d. The contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made to the contractor in connection with its obligations under this contract, will attempt to resolve such complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action

EXHIBIT E

EXHIBIT 2
892
3 within a reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect persons other than the complainant, such corrective action shall include such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation, the contractor will inform every complainant of all of their avenues of appeal.

6. Training and Promotion:
a. The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minorities and women who are
applicants for employment or current employees. Such efforts should be aimed at developing full journey level status employees in the type of trade or job classification involved. b. Consistent with the contractor's work force requirements and as permissible under Federal and State regulations, the contractor shall make full use of training programs (i.e., apprenticeship and on-the-job training programs for the geographical area of contract performance). In the event a special provision for training is provided under this contract, this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision. The contracting agency may reserve
training positions for persons who receive welfare assistance in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 140(a).
c. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available training programs and entrance
requirements for each.
d. The contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of employees who are minorities and women and will encourage eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion.

7. Unions: If the contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the contractor will use good faith efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities for minorities and women. 23 CFR 230.409. Actions by the contractor, either directly or through a contractor's association acting as agent, will include the procedures set forth below:
a. The contractor will use good faith efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minorities and women for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minorities and women so that they may qualify for higher paying employment.
b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into each union agreement to the end that such union will be contractually bound to refer applicants without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability.
c. The contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and policies of the labor union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive possession of the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such information to the contractor, the contractor shall so certify to the contracting agency and shall set forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information.
d. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor with a reasonable flow of referrals within the time limit set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the contractor will, through independent recruitment efforts, fill the employment vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minorities and women. The failure of a union to provide sufficient referrals (even though it is obligated to provide exclusive referrals under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement) does not relieve the contractor from the
requirements of this paragraph. In the event the union referral practice prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these special provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the contracting agency.

8. Reasonable Accommodation for Applicants /
Employees with Disabilities: The contractor must be familiar with the requirements for and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and all rules and regulations established thereunder. Employers must provide reasonable
accommodation in all employment activities unless to do so would cause an undue hardship.

9. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment: The contractor shall not
discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The
contractor shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure nondiscrimination in the administration of this contract. a. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors, suppliers, and lessors of their EEO obligations under this contract.
b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their EEO obligations.

10. Assurances Required:
a. The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and the State
DOT’s FHWA-approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(DBE) program are incorporated by reference.
b. The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems
appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as nonresponsible. c. The Title VI and nondiscrimination provisions of U.S.

DOT Order 1050.2A at Appendixes A and E are incorporated by reference. 49 CFR Part 21.

11. Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep such records as necessary to document compliance with the EEO requirements. Such records shall be retained for a period of three years following the date of the final payment to the contractor for all contract work and shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the contracting agency and the FHWA. a. The records kept by the contractor shall document the following:

EXHIBIT E

EXHIBIT 2
893
4 (1) The number and work hours of minority and nonminority group members and women employed in each work classification on the project;
(2) The progress and efforts being made in cooperation
with unions, when applicable, to increase employment
opportunities for minorities and women; and
(3) The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading minorities and women. b. The contractors and subcontractors will submit an annual report to the contracting agency each July for the duration of the project indicating the number of minority, women, and nonminority group employees currently engaged in each work classification required by the contract work. This information is to be reported on Form FHWA-1391. The staffing data should represent the project work force on board in all or any part of the last payroll period preceding the end of July. If on-the-job training is being required by special provision, the contractor will be required to collect and report training data. The employment data should reflect the work force on board during all or any part of the last payroll period preceding the end of July.

III. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related construction subcontracts of more than $10,000. 41 CFR 60-1.5.

As prescribed by 41 CFR 60-1.8, the contractor must ensure that facilities provided for employees are provided in such a manner that segregation on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin cannot result. The contractor may neither require such
segregated use by written or oral policies nor tolerate such use by employee custom. The contractor's obligation extends further to ensure that its employees are not assigned to perform their services at any location under the contractor's control where the facilities are segregated. The term "facilities" includes waiting rooms, work areas, restaurants and other eating areas, time clocks, restrooms, washrooms, locker rooms and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas,
transportation, and housing provided for employees. The contractor shall provide separate or single-user restrooms and necessary dressing or sleeping areas to assure privacy
between sexes.

IV. DAVIS-BACON AND RELATED ACT PROVISIONS
This section is applicable to all Federal-aid construction projects exceeding $2,000 and to all related subcontracts and lower-tier subcontracts (regardless of subcontract size), in accordance with 29 CFR 5.5. The requirements apply to all projects located within the right-of-way of a roadway that is functionally classified as Federal-aid highway. 23 U.S.C. 113.

This excludes roadways functionally classified as local roads or rural minor collectors, which are exempt. 23 U.S.C. 101.

Where applicable law requires that projects be treated as a project on a Federal-aid highway, the provisions of this subpart will apply regardless of the location of the project. Examples include: Surface Transportation Block Grant Program projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 133 [excluding recreational trails projects], the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 117, and National Highway Freight Program projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 167.

The following provisions are from the U.S. Department of Labor regulations in 29 CFR 5.5 “Contract provisions and related matters” with minor revisions to conform to the FHWA1273 format and FHWA program requirements.

1. Minimum wages (29 CFR 5.5)
a. Wage rates and fringe benefits. All laborers and
mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute), will be paid
unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account
(except such payroll deductions as are permitted by
regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the
Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of basic hourly wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the
Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. As provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) of 29 CFR 5.5, the appropriate wage determinations are effective by operation of law even if they have not been attached to the contract. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B)) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph 1.e. of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are
deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics must be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage
determination for the classification(s) of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraph 4. of this section. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under paragraph 1.c. of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH–1321) must be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. b. Frequently recurring classifications. (1) In addition to wage and fringe benefit rates that have been determined to be prevailing under the procedures set forth in 29 CFR part 1, a ZDJHGHWHUPLQDWLRQPD\FRQWDLQSXUVXDQWWR†ௗ
I
ZDJH
and fringe benefit rates for classifications of laborers and mechanics for which conformance requests are regularly
submitted pursuant to paragraph 1.c. of this section, provided that:
(i) The work performed by the classification is not
performed by a classification in the wage determination for which a prevailing wage rate has been determined;

EXHIBIT E

EXHIBIT 2
894
5 (ii) The classification is used in the area by the
construction industry; and
(iii) The wage rate for the classification bears a reasonable relationship to the prevailing wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(2) The Administrator will establish wage rates for such classifications in accordance with paragraph 1.c.(1)(iii) of this section. Work performed in such a classification must be paid at no less than the wage and fringe benefit rate listed on the wage determination for such classification.
c. Conformance. (1) The contracting officer must require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract be classified in conformance with the wage determination. Conformance of an additional
classification and wage rate and fringe benefits is appropriate only when the following criteria have been met:
(i) The work to be performed by the classification
requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and
(ii) The classification is used in the area by the
construction industry; and
(iii) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(2) The conformance process may not be used to split,
subdivide, or otherwise avoid application of classifications listed in the wage determination.
(3) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their
representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken will be sent by the contracting officer by email to [email protected]. The Administrator, or an
authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30–day period that additional time is necessary.
(4) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed
classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer will, by email to [email protected], refer the
questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30–day period that additional time is necessary.
(5) The contracting officer must promptly notify the
contractor of the action taken by the Wage and Hour Division under paragraphs 1.c.(3) and (4) of this section. The contractor must furnish a written copy of such determination to each affected worker or it must be posted as a part of the wage determination. The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraph 1.c.(3) or (4) of this section must be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
d. Fringe benefits not expressed as an hourly rate.

Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor may either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or may pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
e. Unfunded plans. If the contractor does not make
payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, in accordance with the criteria set forth in †ௗWKDWWKHDSSOLFDEOHVWDQGDUGVRIWKH'DYLV-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the
contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
f. Interest. In the event of a failure to pay all or part of the wages required by the contract, the contractor will be required to pay interest on any underpayment of wages.

2. Withholding (29 CFR 5.5)
a. Withholding requirements. The contracting agency may, upon its own action, or must, upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered
necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime contractor or any subcontractor for the full amount of wages and monetary relief, including interest, required by the clauses set forth in this section for violations of this contract, or to satisfy any such liabilities required by any other Federal contract, or federally assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards, that LVKHOGE\WKHVDPHSULPHFRQWUDFWRU
DVGHILQHGLQ†ௗ
7KH
necessary funds may be withheld from the contractor under this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards requirements and is held by the same prime contractor, regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the contractor liability for which the funds were withheld. In the event of a
contractor's failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice or helper working on the site of the work all or part of the wages required by the contract, or upon the contractor's failure to submit the required records as discussed in paragraph 3.d. of this section, the contracting agency may on its own initiative and after written notice to the contractor, take such action as may be necessary to cause the
suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.
b. Priority to withheld funds. The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with paragraph

EXHIBIT E

EXHIBIT 2
895
6 2.a. of this section or Section V, paragraph 3.a., or both, over claims to those funds by:
(1) A contractor's surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties;
(2) A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs;
(3) A trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or a contractor's bankruptcy estate;
(4) A contractor's assignee(s);
(5) A contractor's successor(s); or
(6) A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31
U.S.C. 3901–3907.

3. Records and certified payrolls (29 CFR 5.5)
a. Basic record requirements (1) Length of record retention.

All regular payrolls and other basic records must be
maintained by the contractor and any subcontractor during the course of the work and preserved for all laborers and
mechanics working at the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute) for a period of at least 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed.
(2) Information required. Such records must contain the name; Social Security number; last known address, telephone number, and email address of each such worker; each
worker's correct classification(s) of work actually performed; hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act); daily and weekly number of hours actually worked in total and on each covered contract; deductions made; and actual wages paid.
(3) Additional records relating to fringe benefits. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under paragraph 1.e. of this section that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor must
maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits.
(4) Additional records relating to apprenticeship. Contractors with apprentices working under approved programs must
maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs, the registration of the apprentices, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
b. Certified payroll requirements (1) Frequency and method of submission. The contractor or subcontractor must submit weekly, for each week in which any DBA- or Related Actscovered work is performed, certified payrolls to the contracting agency. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of all certified payrolls by all subcontractors. A contracting agency or prime contractor may permit or require contractors to submit certified payrolls through an electronic system, as long as the electronic system requires a legally valid electronic signature; the system allows the contractor, the contracting agency, and the Department of Labor to access the certified payrolls upon request for at least 3 years after the work on the prime contract has been completed; and the contracting
agency or prime contractor permits other methods of
submission in situations where the contractor is unable or limited in its ability to use or access the electronic system. (2) Information required. The certified payrolls submitted must set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under paragraph 3.a.(2) of this section, except that full Social Security numbers and last known addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses must not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead, the certified payrolls need only include an individually identifying number for each worker ( e.g., the last four digits of the worker's Social Security number). The required weekly
certified payroll information may be submitted using Optional Form WH–347 or in any other format desired. Optional Form WH–347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division website at https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/ legacy/files/wh347/.pdf or its successor website. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide full Social Security numbers and last known addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission by the subcontractor to the contracting agency. (3) Statement of Compliance. Each certified payroll
submitted must be accompanied by a “Statement of
Compliance,” signed by the contractor or subcontractor, or the contractor's or subcontractor's agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons working on the contract, and must certify the following:
(i) That the certified payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under paragraph 3.b. of this section, the appropriate information and basic records are being maintained under paragraph 3.a. of this section, and such information and records are correct and complete; (ii) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper and apprentice) working on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set
forth in 29 CFR part 3; and
(iii) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification(s) of work actually
performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.
(4) Use of Optional Form WH–347. The weekly submission
of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH–347 will satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph 3.b.(3) of this section.

EXHIBIT E

EXHIBIT 2
896
7 (5) Signature. The signature by the contractor,
subcontractor, or the contractor's or subcontractor's agent must be an original handwritten signature or a legally valid electronic signature.
(6) Falsification. The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729.
(7) Length of certified payroll retention. The contractor or subcontractor must preserve all certified payrolls during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed.
c. Contracts, subcontracts, and related documents. The
contractor or subcontractor must maintain this contract or subcontract and related documents including, without
limitation, bids, proposals, amendments, modifications, and extensions. The contractor or subcontractor must preserve these contracts, subcontracts, and related documents during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed.
d. Required disclosures and access (1) Required record
disclosures and access to workers. The contractor or
subcontractor must make the records required under
paragraphs 3.a. through 3.c. of this section, and any other documents that the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, or the Department of Labor deems necessary to
determine compliance with the labor standards provisions of DQ\RIWKHDSSOLFDEOHVWDWXWHVUHIHUHQFHGE\†ௗDYDLODEOHIRU inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized
representatives of the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, or the Department of Labor, and must permit such
representatives to interview workers during working hours on the job.
(2) Sanctions for non-compliance with records and worker access requirements. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, or refuses to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records or that employs such workers, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available, or to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, may be JURXQGVIRUGHEDUPHQWDFWLRQSXUVXDQWWR†ௗ,QDGGLWLRQ any contractor or other person that fails to submit the required records or make those records available to WHD within the time WHD requests that the records be produced will be
precluded from introducing as evidence in an administrative proceeding under 29 CFR part 6 any of the required records that were not provided or made available to WHD. WHD will take into consideration a reasonable request from the
contractor or person for an extension of the time for
submission of records. WHD will determine the
reasonableness of the request and may consider, among other things, the location of the records and the volume of
production.
(3) Required information disclosures. Contractors and
subcontractors must maintain the full Social Security number and last known address, telephone number, and email address of each covered worker, and must provide them upon request to the contracting agency, the State DOT, the FHWA, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or other compliance action.

4. Apprentices and equal employment opportunity (29 CFR

5.5)
a. Apprentices (1) Rate of pay. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship (OA), or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA. A person who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice, will be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work they perform in the first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such a program. In the event the OA or a State Apprenticeship
Agency recognized by the OA withdraws approval of an
apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to use apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(2) Fringe benefits. Apprentices must be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringe benefits must be paid in accordance with that
determination.
(3) Apprenticeship ratio. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyworkers on the job site in any craft classification must not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program or the ratio applicable to the locality of the project pursuant to paragraph

4.a.(4) of this section. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated in paragraph 4.a.(1) of this section, must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed.

In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under this section must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage

VI. SUBLETTING OR ASSIGNING THE CONTRACT
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts on the National Highway System pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116.

1. The contractor shall perform with its own organization contract work amounting to not less than 30 percent (or a greater percentage if specified elsewhere in the contract) of the total original contract price, excluding any specialty items designated by the contracting agency. Specialty items may be performed by subcontract and the amount of any such
specialty items performed may be deducted from the total original contract price before computing the amount of work required to be performed by the contractor's own organization (23 CFR 635.116).
a. The term “perform work with its own organization” in paragraph 1 of Section VI refers to workers employed or leased by the prime contractor, and equipment owned or
rented by the prime contractor, with or without operators.

Such term does not include employees or equipment of a
subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor, agents of the prime contractor, or any other assignees. The term may include payments for the costs of hiring leased employees from an employee leasing firm meeting all relevant Federal and State regulatory requirements. Leased employees may only be
included in this term if the prime contractor meets all of the following conditions: (based on longstanding interpretation) (1) the prime contractor maintains control over the
supervision of the day-to-day activities of the leased
employees;
(2) the prime contractor remains responsible for the quality of the work of the leased employees;

EXHIBIT E

EXHIBIT 2
899
10 (3) the prime contractor retains all power to accept or exclude individual employees from work on the project; and (4) the prime contractor remains ultimately responsible for the payment of predetermined minimum wages, the
submission of payrolls, statements of compliance and all other Federal regulatory requirements.
b. "Specialty Items" shall be construed to be limited to work that requires highly specialized knowledge, abilities, or equipment not ordinarily available in the type of contracting organizations qualified and expected to bid or propose on the contract as a whole and in general are to be limited to minor components of the overall contract. 23 CFR 635.102.

2. Pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116(a), the contract amount upon which the requirements set forth in paragraph (1) of Section VI is computed includes the cost of material and manufactured products which are to be purchased or produced by the
contractor under the contract provisions.

3. Pursuant to 23 CFR 635.116(c), the contractor shall furnish (a) a competent superintendent or supervisor who is employed by the firm, has full authority to direct performance of the work in accordance with the contract requirements, and is in charge of all construction operations (regardless of who performs the work) and (b) such other of its own organizational resources (supervision, management, and engineering services) as the contracting officer determines is necessary to assure the performance of the contract.

4. No portion of the contract shall be sublet, assigned or otherwise disposed of except with the written consent of the contracting officer, or authorized representative, and such consent when given shall not be construed to relieve the contractor of any responsibility for the fulfillment of the contract. Written consent will be given only after the
contracting agency has assured that each subcontract is evidenced in writing and that it contains all pertinent provisions and requirements of the prime contract. (based on longstanding interpretation of 23 CFR 635.116).

5. The 30-percent self-performance requirement of paragraph (1) is not applicable to design-build contracts; however, contracting agencies may establish their own self-performance requirements. 23 CFR 635.116(d).

VII. SAFETY: ACCIDENT PREVENTION
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts.

1. In the performance of this contract the contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws governing safety, health, and sanitation (23 CFR Part 635).

The contractor shall provide all safeguards, safety devices and protective equipment and take any other needed actions as it determines, or as the contracting officer may determine, to be reasonably necessary to protect the life and health of
employees on the job and the safety of the public and to protect property in connection with the performance of the work covered by the contract. 23 CFR 635.108.

2. It is a condition of this contract, and shall be made a condition of each subcontract, which the contractor enters into pursuant to this contract, that the contractor and any
subcontractor shall not permit any employee, in performance of the contract, to work in surroundings or under conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous to his/her health or safety, as determined under construction safety and health standards (29 CFR Part 1926) promulgated by the
Secretary of Labor, in accordance with Section 107 of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3704). 29 CFR 1926.10.

3. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1926.3, it is a condition of this contract that the Secretary of Labor or authorized representative thereof, shall have right of entry to any site of contract performance to inspect or investigate the matter of compliance with the construction safety and health standards and to carry out the duties of the Secretary under Section 107 of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3704).

VIII. FALSE STATEMENTS CONCERNING HIGHWAY

PROJECTS
This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts.

In order to assure high quality and durable construction in conformity with approved plans and specifications and a high degree of reliability on statements and representations made by engineers, contractors, suppliers, and workers on Federalaid highway projects, it is essential that all persons concerned with the project perform their functions as carefully, thoroughly, and honestly as possible. Willful falsification, distortion, or misrepresentation with respect to any facts related to the project is a violation of Federal law. To prevent any
misunderstanding regarding the seriousness of these and similar acts, Form FHWA-1022 shall be posted on each
Federal-aid highway project (23 CFR Part 635) in one or more places where it is readily available to all persons concerned with the project:
18 U.S.C. 1020 reads as follows:
"Whoever, being an officer, agent, or employee of the United States, or of any State or Territory, or whoever, whether a person, association, firm, or corporation, knowingly makes any false statement, false representation, or false report as to the character, quality, quantity, or cost of the material used or to be used, or the quantity or quality of the work performed or to be performed, or the cost thereof in connection with the submission of plans, maps, specifications, contracts, or costs of construction on any highway or related project submitted for approval to the Secretary of Transportation; or
Whoever knowingly makes any false statement, false
representation, false report or false claim with respect to the character, quality, quantity, or cost of any work performed or to be performed, or materials furnished or to be furnished, in connection with the construction of any highway or related project approved by the Secretary of Transportation; or Whoever knowingly makes any false statement or false
representation as to material fact in any statement, certificate, or report submitted pursuant to provisions of the Federal-aid Roads Act approved July 11, 1916, (39 Stat. 355), as
amended and supplemented;
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years or both."

The ARPA established the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (the “SLFRF statute”) for eligible recipients to address the economic and health consequences of the pandemic. Under ARPA, the SLFRF statute is to be used for payments for specified uses to certain nonentitlement units of local government. In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this AGREEMENT to carry out the purposes of the subaward on behalf of the City, the CITY and CONTRACTOR agree as follows:

1. SURVIVAL OF PROMISES. All promises, requirements, terms, conditions, provisions, representations, guarantees, and warranties contained herein shall survive the AGREEMENT expiration or termination date unless specifically provided otherwise herein, or unless superseded by applicable federal or state statutes of limitation.

3. AUDIT. The CITY, and any other appropriate government agency authorized by law, or their duly authorized representatives shall, until five (5) years after final payment under this AGREEMENT, have access to any of the CONTRACTOR’s records related to this AGREEMENT, at the CONTRACTOR’s regular place of business, for the purpose of conducting audits. The period of access for records relating to a) appeals under a dispute, b) litigation or settlement of claims arising from the performance of this AGREEMENT, or c) costs and expenses of this AGREEMENT to which exception has been taken shall continue until such appeals, litigation, claims, or exceptions are disposed of.

4. AUTHORIZED USE OF FUNDS. The CONTRACTOR shall use or expend the funds provided by this AGREEMENT only for the purposes for which they were appropriated. Further, the funds provided by the CITY shall be used by the CONTRACTOR only for the purpose and activities specified in the AGREEMENT, including associated attachments and exhibits which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth here.

As a beneficiary of SLRFR funds from the CITY, CONTRACTOR must comply with the ARPA guidelines in order to be eligible for a grant. The guidelines, titled Compliance and Reporting Guidelines: State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, as amended by Treasury (the “Guidelines”), are incorporated into this AGREEMENT by reference. The Guidelines can be found at https://home.treasury.gov/policyissues/coronavirus/assistance-for-state-local-and-tribal-governments/state-and-local-fiscal-recoveryfunds/recipient-compliance-and-reporting-responsibilities. In ensuring compliance with these Guidelines, CONTRACTOR serves as a first line of defense against fraud, waste, and abuse of federal money.

As further described in the Guidelines, CONTRACTOR will generally be subject to the requirements of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal awards, 2 CFR Part 200. This includes, but is not limited to,

File #: 24-0818, Version: 1
Project Approval & Environmental Documentation (PA&ED) for the Alpine Pershing Mendocino Bicycle-Pedestrian Connectivity, Project No. WT24037/ATPSB1L-5008(205). On November 29, 2023, three firms submitted proposals for this project. The Selection Committee evaluated the proposals and found HDR Engineering, Inc. of Walnut Creek, CA, to be the most qualified and highest ranked firm to perform the work on this project.

It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution appropriating funds, authorizing the City Manager to sign the City-County Cooperative Agreement, and authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Contract in the amount of $337,935.51 to HDR Engineering, Inc. for PA&ED services.

DISCUSSION
Background
The ATP is a State grant program created in 2013 by Senate Bill 99 and Assembly Bill 101. This program encourages increased use of active modes of transportation, such as bicycling and walking.

The ATP program has both Statewide and Regional competitive levels of funding. Statewide competitive funds are administered by Caltrans, while San Joaquin Council of Governments administers the Regional competitive funds. ATP projects go through the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for project programing, funding allocation, and extension approvals.

In March 2022, Caltrans announced a call for projects for the 2023 ATP Cycle 6. In June 2022, the City submitted six grant applications to Caltrans for Cycle 6 of the ATP grant program. One of the applications submitted was a City-County joint project. The project was the Alpine Pershing Mendocino Bicycle-Pedestrian Connectivity, Project No. WT24037/ATPSB1L-5008(205). This project is located along Alpine Avenue between Ryde Avenue and Pershing Avenue, Pershing Avenue between Alpine Avenue and Mendocino Avenue, and Mendocino Avenue between Pershing Avenue and Kensington Way. The project is within the City and County jurisdictions.

No bicycle facilities currently exist on any of the roadways that are part of this project. Alpine Avenue and Mendocino Avenue currently provide, in general, two travel lanes in each direction with on-street parking. While sidewalks are provided throughout the corridor, restriping and/or reconfiguring the street corridors is needed to safely provide for bicycling and walking in addition to providing for vehicle travel. Project improvements consist of installation of Class II buffered bicycle lanes on Alpine Avenue from Ryde Avenue to Pershing Avenue, and a Class IV two-way cycle track from Pershing Avenue to Mendocino Avenue and Kensington Way. Substantial safety improvements will be made for both bicyclists and pedestrians at intersections, including the redesign of the intersection at Alpine Avenue and Pershing Avenue, the removal of channelized turn lanes at Alpine Avenue/Pershing Avenue, Pershing Avenue/Mendocino Avenue, and Mendocino Avenue/Kensington Way. In addition, multiple crossing enhancements, which will consist of high visibility crosswalk markings, Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon, a pedestrian crosswalk refuge, and a new traffic signal at Pershing Avenue and Mendocino Avenue will be installed as part of the project.

In December 2022, the Alpine Pershing Mendocino Bicycle-Pedestrian Connectivity, Project No.

WT24037/ATPSB1L-5008(205), was approved by the CTC for 2023 ATP Cycle 6 State funding for PA&ED, plans, specifications, and estimates, right of way, and construction. The project was awarded $7,403,000 in State ATP funds and $835,000 local funds was leveraged as a match. The County will City of Stockton Page 2 of 4 Printed on 9/13/2024
powered by Legistar™
921
File #: 24-0818, Version: 1
be responsible for their proportionate share of the required local funds for improvements within their jurisdiction.

Staff had prepared and submitted a funding allocation request to Caltrans in June 2023 to be on the August 2023 CTC meeting agenda. In August 2023, CTC approved the funding allocation for the PA&ED phase. Since this project is funded with State ATP funds, the National Environmental Policy Act and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program rules do not apply.

Present Situation
On September 27, 2023, the City advertised an RFP for PA&ED for the Alpine Pershing Mendocino Bicycle-Pedestrian Connectivity, Project No. WT24037/ATPSB1L-5008(205). On November 29, 2023, three proposals were received from the following engineering firms:
· HDR Engineering, Inc. (Walnut Creek, CA)
· Mark Thomas and Company, Inc. (Sacramento, CA)
· Siegfried Engineering, Inc. (Stockton, CA)
The Selection Committee evaluated and ranked all proposals based on each firm’s understanding of work, experience with similar kinds of work, staff qualifications, technical ability, project approach, and familiarity with state and federal procedures. HDR Engineering, Inc. was found to be the most qualified and highest ranked firm to perform the work on this project.

Staff negotiated a base fee of $337,935.51 with HDR Engineering, Inc. This fee is approximately four percent of the total project cost, which is reasonable for a project of this type and complexity. It is anticipated that the PA&ED will be completed by spring 2025. Once the PA&ED is completed, CTC approval is needed to start final design and advertise the project in the future. The overall project completion is expected to be in summer 2028.

Since this is a collaborative joint project with the County, City staff coordinated the design scope and proportionate share of the project with the County. City and County staff mutually agreed that the County’s share of the local match will be seven percent based on the project’s associated improvements within the County’s jurisdiction. The proportionate share and agencies’ roles were integrated into a Cooperative Agreement for the project.

It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution appropriating funds, authorizing the City Manager to sign the City-County Cooperative Agreement, and authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Contract in the amount of $337,935.51 to HDR Engineering, Inc. for PA&ED services.

Findings
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings which support an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:

1. The City does not have sufficient staff available to prepare the environmental documents.

City of Stockton Page 3 of 4 Printed on 9/13/2024
powered by Legistar™
922
File #: 24-0818, Version: 1

2. Use of the RFP process is appropriate for this Professional Services Contract because it relies on the evaluation of professional qualifications and performance as the basis for selection of a vendor. Use of the criteria helps ensure selection of a vendor that will provide the highest quality professional service, which is in the public interest.

3. The City negotiated a contract following solicitation of competitive proposals in accordance with SMC section 3.68.070.A.3.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
With the appropriation of ATP Cycle 6 State funds and the City-County Cooperative Agreement, there are sufficient funds available in the Alpine Pershing Mendocino Bicycle-Pedestrian Connectivity, Project No. WT24037/ATPSB1L-5008(205), to award a Professional Services Contract in the amount of $337,935.51 to HDR Engineering, Inc.

There is no impact to the City’s General Fund or any other unrestricted fund as a result of taking the recommended actions.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The City of Stockton (City) and County of San Joaquin (County) are to assess, design, and construct the Alpine Pershing Mendocino Bicycle-Pedestrian Connectivity project in Stockton, CA, and San Joaquin County. The goal of the project is to implement safety improvements for bicycles and pedestrians along Alpine Avenue, Pershing Avenue, and Mendocino Avenue.

No bicycle facilities currently exist on any of the roadways that are part of this project. Alpine Avenue and Mendocino Avenue currently provide two travel lanes in each direction with on-street parking. Pershing Avenue is a high-speed arterial, with five travel lanes including turn lanes in its current configuration. While sidewalks are provided throughout the corridor, high speeds can deter bicycling and walking, and multiple collisions have occurred at crossings.

The project improvements consist of the installation of Class II buffered bike lanes on Alpine Avenue from Ryde Avenue to Pershing Avenue and a Class IV two-way cycle track on Pershing Avenue and Mendocino Avenue from Alpine Avenue to Kensington Way. Substantial safety improvements will be made for both bicyclists and pedestrians at intersections, including the redesign of the intersection at Alpine Avenue and Pershing Avenue, the removal of channelized turn lanes at Alpine Avenue and Pershing Avenue, Pershing Avenue and Mendocino Avenue, and Mendocino Avenue and Kensington Way, and multiple crossing enhancements, which will consist of high visibility crosswalk markings, RRFBs, a pedestrian crosswalk refuge, and a new traffic signal at Pershing Avenue and Mendocino Avenue.

The project limits are shown on Attachment B.
