SUBJECT: Resolution No. 74-2024, awarding a construction contract for the Camino
Tassajara Pkwy/Sycamore Valley Road Sound Wall Maintenance Project,
CIP No. A-513F
BACKGROUND
The masonry sound walls along Camino Tassajara Pkwy and Sycamore Valley Road were
originally built when the area developed about 35 years ago, and now require
maintenance to address problems reported by adjacent residents. Project No. A-513F was
included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to provide ongoing maintenance for
these masonry walls. The work consists of 13 project sites along Camino Tassajara Pkwy
and Sycamore Valley Road between Brookside Drive and Liverpool Street.
DISCUSSION
Three (3) bids were received and opened on October 22, 2024. The lowest responsive
bidder was Cowan & Thompson Construction Inc. of Martinez, California at $230,662.00.
Bid results are summarized in Attachment C.
The work is scheduled to begin this winter, assuming the weather is favorable.
This project is considered maintenance and repair work, and is therefore categorically
exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
according to Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1).
PUBLIC CONTACT
Posting of the meeting agenda serves as notice to the general public. Adjacent property
owners will be notified in advance of the construction schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT
The low bid amount is $230,662, plus a 20% contingency of $47,000, results in a total
construction budget of $277,662. Sufficient funds to cover the construction and
contingency are contained in Camino Tassajara Pkwy/Sycamore Valley Road Sound
