III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The original scope of work was based on alternative analysis
using a 1041 foot median. Further analysis determined that an 88
foot median would be feasible. This new alternative is
estimated to reduce the project construction cost by $5 million
to $10 million. The cost for this additional engineering has
been estimated at $26, 300. 00.
Due to the closure of. Port Chicago Highway the east-west bike
route will be eliminated and an alternate route needs to be
explored. The Highway 4 Corridor provides one alternative route.
The cost to study this route is estimated at $6, 300. 00 .
The work on the Highway 4 environmental re-evaluation has
required services that are in addition to the original scope of
work. The additional work required is for hydraulic study, the
Impacted Wetlands and the Initial Site Assessment to investigate
hazardous wastes. This extra work has been estimated at
$9, 217 . 00.
This item was heard by the Transportation Committee.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to approve the increase to the Consulting Services
Agreement with C-REM will result in a delay in the project
development including environmental clearance. This delay could
ultimately ( result in the loss of state funds for project
construction.
