(ARUP), Pleasant Hill area.- (District IV) Project No. 0662-6R4078 DATE: December 13, 2005 PAGE: 3 of 3 REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND: On June 10, 2003,the Board of Supervisors authorized the Public Works Director to execute the design of the pedestrian/bicycle overcrossing at Treat Boulevard. The project provides for pedestrian and bicycle safety when crossing the heavily trafficked Treat Boulevard.. The bridge will also link discontinuous sections of the Iron Horse Trail. On January 6, 2004, the Board of Supervisors approved a Consulting Services Agreement with Ove Arup and Partners California Ltd.for bridge design services. This agreement included a budget for utility locating services in the vicinity of the planned bridge. The original budget however,did not include sufficient monies to account the large number of utilities in Jones Road and along Treat Boulevard, specifically Kinder Morgan and Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). These requirements necessitated an increase in the scope and extent of the utility potholing investigation. This amendment covers the additional costs for utility potholing work for Kinder Morgan and PG&E. Relocation of an electrical transmission line to accommodate the bridge footprint necessitates the phased relocation of a traffic signal. As the original budget did not account for phased traffic signal relocation, this amendment covers the additional costs for the phased traffic signal relocation. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the amendment is not approved,the consultant cannot be paid for out of scope items of work.
