SUBJECT: Approval of contract contingency fund increase and Contract Change Order No. 1 for the John Glenn Drive Overlay project. Project No.0662-684232-03, Concord area DATE: JULY 8,2003 PAGE: 20F2 Ill. Reasons for Recommendations and Back round: Additional funding is needed to pay the contractor for repairing additional pavement, base, and median failures as well as for extra work outside the original contractual agreement. The limits of the roadway section to be removed and replaced was more than originally determined on the plans. Thus, at the request of the Public Works Department, contractor removed additional existing asphalt concrete pavement and underlying base rock to the depths shown on the plans and replaced the removed roadway section with new asphalt concrete at the depths shown on the plans. Unsuitable material was encountered within the right lane of the reconstruction area therefore Public Works Department changed the structural section to a full depth asphalt concrete. The unsuitable material was excavated and aggregate base was placed. Approval of the project contingency fund increase is required to compensate the contractor for the additional work. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: The lack of approval would prevent successful completion of this contract and preclude payment to the contractor for required work.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study to is to evaluate various alternatives that would improve traffic circulation along Danville Boulevard from Stone Valley Road to Jackson Way. A review of the accident history along Danville Boulevard indicates the potential for vehicle collisions at various driveway locations and the center two-way left turn lane. Alamo residents and community groups have also expressed concerns regarding traffic safety issues along the Danville Boulevard within the downtown Alamo area. This study will identify alternatives that will reduce the potential for vehicle collisions and increase traffic circulation efficiency. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Delay in approving the project study will ultimately result in the delay of identifying an appropriate traffic improvement alternative and its implementation. ........_ ......... ......... ......... ......... ......._. ....... ...... ........ .......... ........ .......... ........................................................................................... 07/03/2003 09:49 FAX 925 837 0688 DIABLO HOLDINGS 002 Diablo Holdings, Ltd.

I am the owner of Stone Valley Center,at 3158-64 Danville Boulevard, which is more commonly known as the Longs Drug center. The Test Project was designed at the request of now. Supervisor Donna. Gerber, reportedly in response to numerous citizen complaints about traffic safety in downtown Alamo, ars issue 1 will address below. However, none of the downtown property owners and merchants was advised of this project until May 13, 2003, on which date those owners and merchants who were members of the Alamo Merchants and Professional Association were invited to a presentation by the Public Works Department. Accordingly,only a few of the merchants and property owners wcrc notified and attended. At the meeting,we were presented with the attached pamphlet, which showed that construction of the test was to commence within a few weeps. I would urge that,rather than authorizing the Test Project, you authorize the expenditure of funds to perform a comprehensive traffic study of a variety of solutions to traffic and pedestrian safety, some of which are much simpler than the Median Island proposal, and could be vastly more effective,both from a standpoint of cost and a standpoint of traffic flow. There is a problem of traffic flow and safety in Downtown'Alamo, at least during the evening rush hours during the week. The issue has been the subject of numerous meethW over the years, most of which I attended, including the two Town Hail meetings hosted by former Supervisor Gerber. Subsequent to the second"r own hall meeting,the 6ubject went"underground", and was apparently pushed forward in a series of under-publicized quasi-official community organizations. Downtown property owners and merchants were completely unaware of the proposed Test Project until 5/13/03, after which we strongly encouraged a meeting of major Continued. . . 07/03/2003 09:48 FAX 925 837 0688 DIABLO HOLDINGS Z003 Tt , NSIDER W1 Chair,Board of Supervisors 6� ! Page 2 Contra Costa County July 2,2003 tenants and lana owners, the District 111 staff, and Public Works,which said meeting,was held on 7/1/03. The merchant and property owner turnout at that meeting was impressive, and included representatives of Safeway, Longs, Rite-Aid, the US Post Office, both major shopping centers, and other large tenants, all of whom voiced concern over the immediacy of the timing of and the scope of the project. The Agenda item for the Median Island Test Project was originally scheduler) for the Board of Supervisors Meeting on 6/24/03. After concerns were raised by some major merchants and land owners, the item: was pulled from that Agenda,and rescheduled to the Agenda of 7/8/03. 1 have been told that the Agenda item has also been re-worded,such that tfie Board is not being asked to authorize funds to conduct the Danville Boulevard Median Island Test Project; rather, that the Board is to be asked for funds to study the traffic situation in downtown Alamo,which said study would include various traffic counts, and the study of other proposals involving the Danville Boulevard/Stone Valley Road intersection,among others. If this is true, I favor such a study, but the Median Island Test Project, and the resultant installation of median islands would create many more traffic flow and safety problems than it would solve.
