CONSENT CALENDAR
Agreements
Item 80. Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans for the Construction of the SR -99 and
Rosedale Highway Off -Ramp Proiect (TRIP). The City and Caltrans had previously entered
into a cooperative agreement related to the construction of this project, which consists of an
auxiliary exist lane along southbound SR -99 between the Gilmore Avenue Undercrossing and
the off -ramp to Rosedale Highway. The project also calls for the Rosedale Highway off -ramp
to be widened at multiple points. Since the execution of the previous agreement, Caltrans
has offered to contribute over 7 million in funding for this project from their State Highway
Operation and Protection Program. This new agreement will supersede the existing
agreement and will reflect the new funding source for the project. It is expected that the
California Transportation Commission will approve these funds during their upcoming
meeting on June 24 -25, 2015.
Item 8p. Amendment to an Agreement with Sierra Construction and Excavation, Inc. for
Continued Annual Maintenance and Repairs on the City's Domestic Water System. In July of
2014 the City approved an annual contract with Sierra Construction to perform routine and
emergency maintenance on the City's domestic water system. The initial contract was for
$1,000,000, renewable annually thereafter for two one -year periods. This amendment
represents the first one -year extension of this annual contract. It should be noted that prior to
contracting directly with Sierra Construction for these services, the City relied on California
Water Service Company to provide these services as a component of the City's operation
and maintenance agreement with Cal Water. This new arrangement has proven to be cost
effective and it is estimated that the City is saving 15 to 20 percent annually by using a
specific annual contract for this work.
Bids
Item 8w. Appropriation of $48,333 in TDA Grant Funding for Bike Routes /Lanes on Various
Streets in Southwest Bakersfield. The City successfully applied for a Transportation
Development Act grant to install bike lane striping, markings and roadside signs along North
and South Half Moon Drive and Olympia Drive. The project also includes signage
designating "Bike Route" along various streets in southwest Bakersfield. Since the cost to
complete the project is under $40,000, appropriation of the grant funds is the only Council
action required. The project will be administered through a departmental level agreement.
REPORTS
Item 11 a. Department Budget Presentations. Staff from the Public Works Department will
provide a detailed overview of their FY 2015 -16 proposed operating budget. The budget
overview will include discussion regarding the goals, accomplishments, and budget changes
for the department.
Approved:
Alan Tandy, City Manager for AT
