SUBJECT: Resolution No. 21-2022, awarding a professional services agreement for
engineering design services for Diablo Road Trail Crossing
Improvements as part of Diablo Road Trail, CIP C-055
BACKGROUND
The Town’s Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) includes the Diablo Road Trail from
Alameda Diablo to Tank Access Road, CIP Project C-055. This project consists of the
construction of a paved 0.9-mile Class I pedestrian/bicycle path located adjacent to the
south side of Diablo Road from Fairway Drive to the west of the tank access road (1,200
feet west of Mt. Diablo Scenic/Blackhawk intersection) to the east. The proposed path
will connect to the existing 0.5-mile Diablo Road (aka Barbara Hale) Trail to the west and
a new 0.7-mile Class I path to the east that will be constructed as part of the Magee
Preserve Development. The project includes the design and construction of a pedestrian
and bicycle roadway crossing that will connect the existing Diablo Road Trail segment to
the new trail segment to be located in the vicinity of the intersection of Diablo Road and
Fairway Drive.
The preliminary design of the new trail segment component is complete and is currently
in the environmental phase. The design of the Diablo Road Trail Crossing Improvements
component (herein referred to as “project”) will coincide with the schedule of the final
design phase of the new trail segment and is projected to be completed in fall 2022.
DISCUSSION

for the project. Four (4) proposals were received from local transportation engineering

estimates and associated construction bid documents for the construction of an at-grade
pedestrian and bicycle roadway crossing on Diablo Road in the vicinity of Fairway Drive.
Design elements will include a High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk Beacon (HAWK) and
