Ori gi n of Project
In July 1982, the Transportation and Public Works Department received a request
from one of the major property owners on this segment of Race Street to open and
improve the street on an assessment basis. The street is currently open from
Sylvania Avenue to within 225 feet of Oakhurst Scenic Drive.
A poll card survey was conducted on August 31, 1982 to let the City Council know
how the remaining property owners felt about improving the street. These pro-
perty owners agreed to the improvements. On October 27, 1982 (MSC G-5450), the
City Council approved the project and authorized the Director of Transportation
and Public Works to design and advertise the project for bids.
The delay in advertising the project has been due to the acquisition of five-
feet of additional right-of-way on each side of the street and required utility
adjustments.
Improvements
It is proposed to improve this segment of Race Street with 7" hot-mix asphaltic
concrete pavement with concrete curb and gutter, concrete sidewalk on both sides
of the street with attached retaining walls at the west end, and concrete drive-
way approaches where specified on a 40~nfeet wide roadway as approved in M&C
G-5450,. on October 27, 1982.
Receipt of Bids
Rids on this project were originally received on January 3, 1985. However, after
bids were received, the engineering staff discovered that contract pay
quantities indicated in the proposal for the concrete retaining walls were in-
adequate and substantially lower than the amount necessary to complete the pro-
jecte On February 19, 1985 (M&C G-6259), the City Council authorized the City
Manager to reject all bids received and direct the Transportation and Public
Works Director to readvertise the project.
The project was readvertised for bids on February 28 and March 7, 1985, and th
f oliowing bids were received on March 21, 1985, with 66 working days allotted t
complete the project.

Project Cost and Financin
Based on standard City policy in effect at the time this project was approved,
residentially zoned property is being assessed $15.50 per front foot for
pavement and curb and gutter, plus the cost of driveway approaches where none
now exist. Property zoned other than residential is being assessed for one-half
of the roadway pavement width, plus curb and gutter and driveway approaches
where none now exist. These assessments amount to $69,249.28, which will be
provided for by a bond fund transfer from the Special Assessment Unspecified
Account, 94-009905-00.
Cost to the City for construction is approximately $228,640.84, plus $35,746.81
(12°6) engineering. The City's high cost and proportional share is attributed to
an approximately 12-foot cut through rock at the west end - Race Street/Oakhurst
Scenic Drive intersection. A bond fund transfer is required from Fund 29,
Assessment Paving Unspecified Account for the City's construction cost.
Sufficient funds are available in Engineering Account (29-095101-00) for
engineering services.
