BACKGROUND
On July 13, 2005, the City received authorization from the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) to proceed with the call for bids and construction of the Sierra
Highway Bridges Over the Railroad, which is a Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation
(HBRR) program bridge project. The HBRR program will reimburse 80 percent of the bridge
construction and construction support costs to the City.
On February 28, 2006, the City Council awarded the construction contract to Griffith Company,
Inc., in the amount of $6,098,894. The work consisted of replacing the existing northbound
M
structure and rehabilitating the southbound structure on Sierra Highway over the railroad while
providing wider travel lane widths for motorists and cyclists, and standard sidewalks for
pedestrians in the northbound direction. This project eliminated the existing gap between the two
former structures.
The construction was completed on September 25, 2008, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Total construction cost, including all construction support services is $7,448,539.
The increase to Aquatic Consulting Services contract will cover additional expenses incurred in
order to satisfy the requirements of the_ environmental permits issued by the California State
Department of Fish and Game and the Army Corps of Engineers. These requirements were
clarified by the agencies during the final phases of the project and eliminate the need for ongoing
monitoring.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate funding was previously appropriated for this project and no additional funding is
required. The total construction costs for this project were covered by state and federal funding
with no funds coming directly from the City.
