DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Board approved the contract for the Intersection Safety / Pedestrian Safety and Sight Triangle Improvement Projects (Project) on July 25, 2023 (Legistar File 23-1260), at which time the Board also authorized an increase to total project cost due to the receipt of construction bids that were higher than anticipated. Construction started on November 6, 2023, and construction was substantially completed on March 28, 2024. This combined project constructed ADA compliant crosswalks, sidewalks, and pedestrian curb ramps in the towns of El Dorado and Diamond Springs, along with improved sight distance at four (4) intersections of Pleasant Valley Road at Zandonella Road/Big Cut Road, Hanks Exchange Road, Cedar Ravine Road, and Newton Road. Recordation of the Notice of Acceptance (NOA) will start legal time frames for guarantees, a lien period, and return of retention monies. Recordation of the NOA will also start the one-year time frame for releasing the Payment and Performance Bonds to the Surety.
