Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The purpose of the 2023 DOT Maintenance Pavement Rehabilitation Projects (Project) is to repair various roadway sections on Green Valley Road, Pleasant Valley Road, Meder Road, Wild Chaparral Drive, Lindberg Road, Rhodes Avenue, East Road, Long Avenue, Alice Court, Bucks Bar Road, South Upper Truckee Road, Pioneer Trail, Calgary Court, Pendleton Drive, Willowdale Drive, Riviera Circle, Elmwood Court, Tam O Shanter Drive and Brittany Place in the respective communities of South Lake Tahoe, Placerville, Shingle Springs, Cameron Park, and El Dorado Hills areas of El Dorado County by removing the failing asphalt section and replacing with hot mix asphalt. Due to current Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements and regulations, three (3) existing non-standard curb ramps within the Project area are required to be brought up to current standards as part of the Project. Contract #7495 is estimated to have a construction phase total cost of $7,500,000. All of the roads listed above were identified on the FY 22/23 SB1 Resolution, with the exception of Pioneer Trail. Many of the limits of the road project have been extended to utilize the General Fund contribution as well as the Measure S Transient Occupancy Tax Funds.
This Project does not have federal funding; thus, only California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance is required. A CEQA Notice of Exemption was submitted on February 27,2023. This Project does not require any environmental permits or additional right of way to be acquired.

1) The Board could choose not to approve the Contract Documents. Transportation will make any changes requested by the Board and return at a later date.
2) The Board could choose not to authorize advertisement for construction bids. Transportation will make any changes requested by the Board and return at a later date.
