The project is being advertised for bid and bids are scheduled to be opened on April 4. 2. If bids are acceptable, Council will be asked to award the contract at its April 18 meeting and work will start in the summer. Bodega Avenue Digouts and Repair (High Street to Robinson Road) 1. The Bodega Avenue pavement repair work was stopped due to weather and ground conditions. 2. The contractor, Ghilotti Construction, is scheduled to commence repair work the week of March 20. Ives Park Pathway Replacement Project: 1. The plans and specs have been completed by RHAA Landscape Architects and a copy can be found on the City’s website at the following link: https://ci.sebastopol.ca.us/Article/2-6-23- Engineering-Projects-Update 2. The cost estimate for the construction work is under the $200,000 threshold which means by State law and City purchasing policy, the project can follow the State’s informal bid process and does not need Council approval for authorization to bid and is under the purview of the City Manager. 3. The project is scheduled for advertising for bids next week. Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant 1. The draft application was presented to the Planning Commission for their input at the February 14 meeting. 2. There were some comments from the commissioners about the actual alternatives, such as the merits of the 1-way couplet, but this question is one of the things that the project will analyze. 3. The grant application will be submitted to Caltrans on March 9, 2023. SR 116 at Hurlbut Ave. 1. Recently the City has been contacted by local residents concerned about crosswalk safety at the intersection of SR116 (Gravenstein Hwy N) & Hurlbut Avenue in the north area of the City after recent reporting of a vehicle-pedestrian collision involving a mother and her child. Similar incidents at this intersection have been reported in the past. 2. In response to this collision and previous incidents, Caltrans, at the request of the City Engineer, has implemented a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) for the intersection of State Route 116 & Hurlbut Avenue on February 23, 2023. This means that a pedestrian has an early walk phase of 4 seconds before the light turns green for each leg of the intersection.
