Council District: Citywide

SUBJECT: NORMAN Y. MINETA SAN JOSE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT—SKYPORT DRIVE GRADE SEPARATION PROJECT

REASON FOR ADDENDUM

In order for the project to proceed in a timely manner, to coordinate construction with Caltrans Highway 87 improvements, and to keep the project on schedule and budget, staff requests Council action at its October 14, 2003 meeting.

RECOMMENDATION

Approval of Contract Change Order No. 9 with R&L Brosamer, Inc., for the Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport—Skyport Drive Grade Separation Project in the amount of $114,271 for a total contract amount of $10,222,362.

CEQA: Resolution Nos. 67380 and 71451, PP 03-10-308.

BACKGROUND

On January 14, 2003, the City Council awarded a construction contract to R&L Brosamer, Inc. in the amount of $9,885,321 for the Skyport Drive Grade Separation Project. The project consists of a depressed structure for Airport Boulevard and ramps connecting Airport Boulevard to the existing Skyport Drive Bridge over the Guadalupe River. This project will implement roadway improvements necessary to comply with the Airport Security and Traffic Relief Act (ASTRA).

The project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in March 2004.

ANALYSIS

The proposed change order will implement design standard changes to the directional signage on the roadways near the Skyport Drive entrance to the Airport. These changes will enhance driver way finding and result in improved traffic conditions. These design standards were revised subsequent to the award of the contract; therefore, it was not possible to incorporate these standards into the original design.

AIRPORT MASTER PLAN CONSISTENCY

The San José Municipal Code requires that capital projects at the Airport be consistent with the adopted Airport Master Plan. The proposed change order is a component of the Airport Boulevard/Skyport Drive Grade Separation Project which is expressly identified in the Airport Master Plan, as amended in November 2001, and is therefore consistent with the Airport Master Plan under Municipal Code Section 25.04.210(B)(2).

PUBLIC OUTREACH

Not applicable.

COORDINATION

This memorandum has been coordinated with the Airport Department, City Manager's Budget Office, the Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement and the City Attorney’s Office. The project construction has been coordinated with the Airport Department, the Department of Transportation, and Caltrans.
