IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The HSIP-10 Pedestrian Crossings Improvement Project will enhance pedestrian crossings across Folsom Boulevard at its intersection with Seville Way; Raley Boulevard at its intersection with Santa Ana Avenue; W Street at its intersection with 8th Street; and Alhambra Boulevard at its intersection with X Street. The project was identified for funding in Cycle 10 of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), a federal-aid program with the purpose of reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries on public roads. All four locations are on arterial roadways on the city's High Injury Network, identified in the City of Sacramento Vision Zero Action Plan that was adopted by the City Council in August 2018.
The project plans and specifications have been completed and are included as Attachment 3. Construction of the project is being funded in part with the HSIP program. Appropriation of HSIP construction funding is necessary to construct the project.
The project was advertised for construction and received four bids. Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to St. Francis Electric, Inc.

PolicyConsiderations
Policy Considerations: The actions requested herein are consistent with the City General Plan goals and key policies that accommodate and promote safe and convenient travel for all users.

EconomicImpacts
Economic Impacts: The HSIP 10 Pedestrian Crossings Improvement Project is expected to create 1.39 total jobs (0.8 direct jobs and 0.59 jobs through indirect and induced actives) and create $214,845 in total economic output ($135,419 of direct output and another $79,426 of output through indirect and induced activities).
The indicated economic impacts are estimates calculated using a calculation tool developed by the Center for Strategic Economic Research (CSER). CSER utilized the IMPLAN input-output model (2009 coefficients) to quantify the economic impacts of a hypothetical $1 million of spending in various construction categories within the City of Sacramento in an average one-year period. Actual impacts could differ significantly from the estimates and neither the City of Sacramento nor CSER shall be held responsible for consequences resulting from such differences.
