Walter,Public Works DirectoQ� Prepared by: Daniel Van Beveren, Senior Civil Engineer . SUBJECT: BOB JONES CITY-TO-SEA TRAIL—SEGMENT#3 SPECIFICATION NO. 90670 CAO RECOMMENDATION: 1) Approve Special Provisions for Bob Jones City-to-Sea Trail—Segment#3, Specification No. 90670; 2) Authorize staff to advertise for bids; 3) Authorize the CAO to award the contract if the lowest responsible bid is within the engineer's estimate of$449,600. 4) Authorize the consolidation of funds into the construction phase of the project account. DISCUSSION The Bob Jones City-to-Sea Trail is envisioned as a continuous Class I bike trail which will provide bicyclists a safe, continuous transportation route between San Luis Obispo and Avila Beach. In 2002, the Bob Jones City-to-Sea Bike Trail Route Plan was established. This plan included a four distinct `segments' of the trail within the City. Segment #3 of the route plan contains the portion of the trail between Prado Road to Los Osos Valley Road and is located on City property adjacent to the Water Reclamation Facility. Segment #3 of the Bob Jones City-to- Sea trail will follow the alignment which was approved by Council on July 5, 2005. Plans and Specifications have now been completed for the majority of Segment#3. Public access to this new bike trail will be from a single location adjacent to Prado Road, west of San Luis Obispo Creek. With no access to Los Osos Valley Road included in this initial phase of work, the bike path will initially function simply as a recreational facility—a destination for users to enjoy the path in an `out and back' manner. The next phase of work, which is now funded in the 2007-09 Capital Improvement Plan, will be the design and construction of two bridges at each of the ends of this initial phase. The completion of these bridges will give this phase of the bike trail functionality in terms of being a useful transportation corridor for bicyclists by providing a route between Prado Road and Los Osos Valley Road. In the coming years, the City's remaining segments of the Bob Jones City-to-Sea trail are anticipated to progress through design and construction. In conjunction with the City's efforts, the County of San Luis Obispo is currently pursuing completion of their own segments of the trail. This collaborative effort will ultimately provide a continuous pathway from San Luis Obispo to Avila Beach.
