DESCRIPTION:
On February 7, 2012, the City Council awarded a contract to Proven Management Inc. to
construct the Alamo Canal Trail I-580 Undercrossing Project. The contract required the
contractor to complete the work within 170 working days and perform construction near the
creek only during the period of April 15 to October 15 to protect fish and wildlife.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on March 10, 2012 to announce the beginning of
construction. Grading work began on April 15, 2012 and the job was conducted in collaboration
with several agencies including East Bay Regional Park District (Park District), Caltrans, Federal
Highway Administration, Zone 7 Water Agency, BART, Alameda County Transportation
Commission, and the City of Pleasanton. Several contract change orders were requested by
the Park District and added to the project including a closed circuit television system to increase
trail safety, a bike/pedestrian counter to count the number and type of trail users, and additional
signs and pavement striping. The project was substantially completed by late October 2012 and
a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on October 27, 2012 to celebrate the trail opening. The
work was completed ahead of schedule and within the allotted construction budget.
The newly constructed segment of the Alamo Canal Trail is now being maintained by the Park
District and they have requested that a maintenance cost sharing agreement be developed
between the Park District, Dublin and Pleasanton to specify each agency’s share of the
maintenance and utility costs. Maintenance includes closure of trail gates during flood events to
prevent people from using the undercrossing, graffiti removal, and maintenance of lights,
cameras, and emergency call boxes. Staff will work with the Park District and Pleasanton on a
maintenance cost sharing agreement and return to the Council for its approval.
Staff has determined that the work under this contract is now complete and ready for
acceptance.
