Council Poised to Award $915K Contract for Coloma-Ebbtide School Safety Project
The Council tonight is set to award a construction contract to Ghilotti Bros., Inc. for the Safe Pathways to School: Coloma St and Ebbtide Ave. project, covering the base bid plus two bid alternatives for a total of $915,093.75, with a construction contingency of $91,509 on top.
Staff is also asking the Council to approve a separate professional services agreement with Swinerton Management and Consulting for construction management, not to exceed $121,670, and to find the project categorically exempt from CEQA review under Section 15301.
A public comment on the project was submitted by resident Carolyn Revelle ahead of the meeting; the specific content wasn't detailed in the agenda packet, but its presence signals neighborhood interest in how the safety upgrades near Coloma and Ebbtide will be built.
If approved as recommended, construction could move forward under the awarded contract; final direction depends on tonight's Council vote.
