2-Consultant Supplemental Agreement - Mark Thomas and Company (2011-1290)
Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Rio Linda Boulevard Bridge Replacement and Main Avenue Realignment Project will replace the existing structurally deficient bridge over Magpie Creek and realign the creek to the south. The intersection will be widened to accommodate turn pockets, and Main Avenue will be realigned to intersect perpendicular to Rio Linda Boulevard. The improvements will include an improved intersection with left and right turn pockets and Class II bike lanes on both Rio Linda Boulevard and Main Avenue.
The project will enhance safety on Rio Linda Boulevard and Main Avenue by improving sight distance, decreasing vehicle queuing conflicts with turn pockets, and increasing the roadway shoulders to meet City standards. This project will improve traffic operations, realign Main Avenue into the existing City right-of-way, and improve pedestrian connectivity with the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail.
City Council passed a resolution to award the construction contract and a consultant contract for construction management services on March 26, 2019. A corresponding supplemental agreement with the consultant design team is required for ongoing design support activities throughout the two-year construction phase.
Policy Considerations: The action requested supports the City’s General Plan goals of improving the transportation system, expanding public safety, achieving sustainability through reduced dependence on the private automobile, and enhancing livability and economic vitality.
Economic Impacts: None
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act and National Environmental Policy Act (CEQA/NEPA): The City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) in compliance with CEQA on October 29, 2013.

Sustainability: This project is consistent with General Plan goals of improving the transportation system, expanding public safety, creating a well-connected transportation network, conserving energy resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, and do so while continuing to accommodate auto mobility.
Commission/Committee Action: None
Rationale for Recommendation: Approval of Supplemental Agreement No. 15 with Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. will enable the City to complete the construction of the Rio Linda Boulevard Bridge Replacement and Main Avenue Realignment Project including all of the required design oversight and input during construction.
Financial Considerations: The total estimated cost of the Rio Linda Boulevard Bridge Replacement and Main Avenue Realignment Project (T15095200) is approximately $10.7 million. There is sufficient funding available in the project to execute Supplemental Agreement No. 15 with Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. in the amount of $93,856 and cover the remaining construction and construction management costs.
There are no General Funds planned or allocated for this project.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): The contract with Mark Thomas and Company Inc. is a federally funded contract and as a result Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) project participation requirements apply. LBE rules are held in abeyance. The contract award will comply with all federal DBE participation requirements. Mark Thomas has pledged 12.7% DBE project participation, exceeding the 1.94% DBE goal set for this contract.
