| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Chrisp Company substantially completed construction of this project on September 9, 2020 in accordance with the contract plans and specifications. The Board of Supervisors’ acceptance of the work, and authorization for the Director of Public Works to record the Notice of Completion, will allow final payment to the contractor and close out the project.
Background
The Board of Supervisors approved the plans and specifications for the Striping Project April 24, 2018 and authorized the Department to advertise for bids and award a contract to the lowest responsive bidder.
Work began October of 2018 and progressed for about a month until weather conditions impeded the contractors’ ability to continue work. Work resumed intermittently during the winter when weather permitted into 2019 and 2020 construction seasons when weather conditions met contract specifications. This contract was used to supplement County rehabilitation projects that were constructed in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Rather than use Senate Bill 1 funds for striping, staff was able to use this contract to reduce the costs from SB1 and the Road Fund for these projects.
The project striped approximately 230 centerline miles of road from the County road network and replaced retroreflective pavement markers. The focus roads of this project included arterials, collectors and local roads. The roads selected were based on public use, accident rates, and conformance to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The project is expected to systemically improve safety during day, night and wet conditions by providing uniform visual cues.
In 2015 Public Works Division staff applied for federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds administered by Caltrans to perform a striping audit and to determine California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) compliance under daytime and nighttime conditions. The grant also provides for installation of upgraded centerline and right edge lines using thermoplastic striping with reflective beads and elements, and replacement of existing retro-reflective pavement markers to improve night and wet weather visibility. The Division’s accident database was used to demonstrate the “benefit to cost” ratio for the proposed improvements, as required to receive the HSIP funds, which are awarded statewide on a competitive basis. |
