Page 2 of 3 parking. In May 2022, UPR contacted the City about leasing the eastern 30 feet of UPR’s parcel, which is the western half of the St Mary Street parking lot. On July 19, 2022, the City Council approved a lease agreement with Union Pacific Railroad that allows for the continued use of the western half of the parking lot and for the area to be improved. On December 20, 2022, the City Council awarded the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder, JJ Construction & Design, Inc., in the amount of $118,000 and authorized the Director of Engineering to approve change orders up to the project contingency amount of $19,495 (approximately 17 percent of the contract). DISCUSSION To improve safety, add ADA-compliant parking, and address residents' concerns, the project installed five decorative lights, constructed two accessible parking stalls, installed wheel stops and striping for 41 parking spots, and replaced approximately 135 linear feet of wooden fence on the east side of the parking lot. The existing 16,000-square-foot gravel parking lot was regraded, and a dust palliative was placed. In addition, two streetlights were installed on St Mary Street, between the parking lot and Peters Avenue, to improve lighting on the sidewalk. JJ Construction installed parking lot lighting, fencing, grading, and dust palliative. The Public Works Department purchased and installed the wheel stops, placed striping, and installed a concrete pad for ADA-compliant parking, a concrete driving approach and signage; to address concerns with cut-through traffic a wooden railing was installed at the south end of the parking lot entrance by Division Street to eliminate cut-through traffic access. The wheel stops narrowed the open area of the parking lot, discouraging and reducing vehicles from performing donut turns within the lot. The project was completed at the contract amount without any change orders. EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY Approval of this action advances the City's Climate Action Plan (CAP) – Materials & Consumption strategy – Reduce GHG emissions from materials management and consumption, supporting regional waste reduction efforts, as recycled aggregates and LED lighting were utilized. OUTREACH Nearby residents were informed by mail during the design and prior to the start of construction. In response, work was added to the project during construction to address resident concerns regarding cut-through parking lot traffic. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this action advances the ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Investing in Our Environment, Strategy 1 – Implement the four-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to complete design and construction of budgeted capital projects and part of the Downtown Parking Strategy and Implementation Plan adopted by City Council on April 18, 2017.
