Board approval for the contract modification is needed due to insufficient contract modification authority remaining to complete the necessary project signal engineering.
In addition, staff is requesting to increase the contract modification authority by $125,000 using previously approved Measure R 3% funds.
The additional engineering required for this project is for railroad signal engineering related to the one-way westbound improvements at the Doran Street intersection mandated by the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in December 2012. The signal engineering is additional scope to the current contract with HNTB, Inc. This work was originally to be performed by Metrolink. However, Metrolink does not have the contracting capacity through their existing bench contracts to complete this work w...
