BACKGROUND
The Safe Route to School Infrastructure project consists of the construction of physical
improvements at crossings near Canyon Springs Elementary School, Emblem Elementary
School, and Meadows Elementary School (location map attached). The goal of this project is to
enhance student safety by reducing the speed of vehicles near schools and increase the visibility
of school crossings. The improvements will also allow students to safely walk and bike to school.
Ap,rflowEl
Work under this project includes restriping crosswalks, replacing existing signage with oversized
fluorescent yellow -green signage, widening sidewalks, and constructing bulb -outs at selected
school crossings. Bulb -outs are traffic -calming measures that narrow the street by widening the
sidewalk at crossings, thereby reducing traffic speeds and shortening the crossing distance.
This project is state funded under the Safe Route to School Program. On March 30, 2009, the
City received authorization from California's Department of Transportation to proceed with a call
for bids and construction.
An invitation to bid was prepared and published three times, April 24, April 28, and May 3,
2009, and was noticed to the area plan rooms and the City's website. Plans and specifications
were also sent to area plan rooms.
On May 28, 2009, the City's Purchasing Division received the following bids for the project:
