Speaker 3: And then the other thing, I think the issue on the Park Street, if memory serves me correct, I think that was a city of Oakland design, not a Caltrans issue. So if you want to direct your your anger at anyone, it belongs at the city of Oakland, not at Caltrans.
Speaker 1: I'll just observe that having spent a week in Washington, D.C. last week, I was pleasantly surprised that you generally have almost a minute to cross the streets. And so it it must be possible. So we can we can keep an eye on that. Okay. If any further comments or questions. So if not, we have we are being asked to authorize the city manager to execute a contract amendment with RES Electric for the Park Street Corridor Safety and Operations Improvement Project specified number in an amount not to exceed $99,750, including contingency for total expenditure under the agreement of $429,830. So do I have a motion? I have a motion to have second.
Speaker 0: Second.
Speaker 1: It's been moved and seconded. All in favor.
Speaker 6: I.
Speaker 1: Okayed. The motion is passed unanimously. Okay then next. In alphabetical order we have item five J, which I think was pulled by two council members, if I recall correctly. So do you want a mr. day? So you go first.
Speaker 0: And.
Speaker 1: Great. Bye, Mr. Wickstrom.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Madam Mayor. I was going to hoping to take this together with five G and five K because they both happened to deal with road improvements in different parts of Alameda. But I guess we'll just take it one at a time and I'll try to tailor my questions to five J The particular question that I have for five j of a series of questions is what is the precise road treatment that we're looking at? Because I saw references to crack seal circles, slurry seal, as well as asphalt concrete resurfacing. But I didn't get a sense as to in what proportions are because there's only two roads that that are the subject of of item five j and that specific avenue between Main Street and Fourth Street and Otis Drive between Park Street and Broadway. So I wanted to know what is the treatment that that we're seeking? Because in contrast, five K was pretty specific as to the treatments I was seeking for 13 roads. That's the first question. The second question that I have is I calculated the combined feat of the two streets at roughly 2800 feet. And that's rounding. And so when you divide the the cost that we're contemplating for the 2800 square feet and it's 2800 linear feet, it comes out to be roughly $497 per linear feet. So the question is, how does that $497 per per foot, how does that compare, say, against benchmarks that that might be professional standard established professional standard benchmarks in terms of how much we spend for whatever kind of treatment that we're seeking or how does that compare against maybe we have local practice benchmarks. So those are the two type of questions that that I have about for Jay. And as we get into 4K, you'll see how it's related.
Speaker 1: Okay. So, Mr. Wickstrom, you want to come up and ask us, see if you can give us the answers to these questions posed by council member.
Speaker 3: Decide if it would please the mayor. I was actually prepared to address both items together. So if we want to bring forward five K at the same time.
Speaker 1: You can address those questions as specific questions for Jane. Okay. We're still going to hear item five K separately because it's been so requested by the vice mayor. But I don't think there's any objection to talking about repair and resurfacing to different or however many different streets actually are are covered in these two items.
Speaker 0: So actually before you.
Speaker 1: Count some every day, so.
Speaker 0: Let me just make sure to say.
Speaker 4: For purposes of the public eye, make sure to ask all my questions of staff before the meeting so that they are ready to answer them. And so that this isn't one of those gotcha kind of type of questioning, because I don't think that serves the public. So there were a series of related questions that I had asked via email for AJ in case. I just want to make sure to say that.
Speaker 0: Thank you and.
Speaker 3: So just addressing five J. I will not go through the slide. I'll kind of say that 45k And some of the questions that you asked will be captured in that second part. But specifically for Otis and Pacific, we are doing an overlay which is basically we'll be grinding out two inches, didn't do an overlay in areas where the pavement has failed. We'll actually do a base repair as well to that. And when it comes to treatment costs, these treatment costs are in line with what we see throughout the industry. And I'll be able to speak to that a little bit more as we as I talk a little bit on five K in a moment or two. Great.
Speaker 4: Thank you. That's all you know.
Speaker 1: Okay. All right. And so council member, Vice Mayor Knox, Knoxville, I think you had some comments or questions on 5G.
Speaker 5: I'll in that spirit of time to ask some questions ahead of the meeting. So I'll skip to comments on 5G specific. I appreciate the work that's being done on both of these streets. The mayor and I actually met with the neighbors of Otis between who lived between High Street and Park about ongoing concerns that they have related to speeding and other traffic issues. So I ask the question, if we're going to be doing a significant repaving and re striping of the of half that section of the street. Had they been consulted or was that considered as a part of this project? Given that we're about to spend money to to work on the street, we should do what we can to address those concerns. I was concerned to learn not only did we not do any outreach to to these neighbors, but also that the neighbors had actually been asking for updates on what was happening around not this project, but this area and had not heard back from staff in a while. And so I would like the direction. I am happy that these are important projects that need to move forward. I'm happy to support them moving forward before four five. J Specifically, as it relates to Otis Drive, I would like some outreach to be done to that community to make sure that as we finalize the striping documents related to that, where we can not everything can be done with, with striping, etc., especially when you have a confined roadway where we can find some opportunities to address some of the concerns that they've raised. I think this is an opportunity that we shouldn't miss. So I'd like to. Yeah. I mean, if we're ready to make a motion, I'm happy to make a motion to approve it with the direction that that outreach happened before we finalized the striping documents.
Speaker 0: Sure.
Speaker 1: Before you make that motion, I'll just make a quick comment. Yes. The vice mayor and I did meet with these neighbors. It was shortly after the workshop that I attended for the neighbors of Otis and a different stretch of Otis from West Lyon to Grand Willow. And that's a much quieter stretch of Otis Drive. And so the Otis Drive neighbors more in the vicinity of Koozie Park, if you can picture that. And but we're concerned with what happened to as we were we were supposed to be next up in the queue. But I know the city engineer is now aware of their concerns. And, well, you know, we're hoping that we'll see some attempts to address their concerns in the near future. But with that, we have a motion on. So I'm on five. J Do you.
Speaker 0: Do you want to.
Speaker 1: Read what the motion is that we're. Oh, I'm sorry. Councilmember Vela.
Speaker 6: I just want to clarify with the vice mayor's.
Speaker 5: My ask is simply that.
Speaker 0: As the.
Speaker 6: Outreach for the neighborhoods listed within the. Resolution is well.
Speaker 5: Mine was specifically as there's a group of people who have been trying to engage around this to make sure that they are engaged, that they are communicated with before the strategy is finalized. So it was specific to Otis.
Speaker 6: I'm just trying to I'm just trying to understand. So it's this group of people is a group of people that have already reached out to the city and filed with or they're.
Speaker 0: Who they sent.
Speaker 5: It's a group of people that sent an email to the full city council. The mayor and I responded and met with them. They are they have been engaged with public works since 2015, I believe. They are neighbors that work between I live between High Street and Park Street. And in the city manager, I believe, has the list of people that that reached out to the city at the time.
Speaker 1: Okay. Any further questions? Comments. Okay. So we are.
Speaker 4: I will move that recommendation.
Speaker 1: Okay, great. Well, it's been moved. So would you like 2 seconds? We've got a motion. We've got a second. All in favor.
Speaker 0: I.
Speaker 1: Okay, the motion passes unanimously. So then we go to 55k.
Speaker 2: Recommendation to authorize the city manager to execute a one year agreement with M.C. K Services for repair, resurfacing of approximately three miles of street and an adoption related resolution series. And we do have speakers on this.
Speaker 1: Okay. Do you want to hear the speakers who do and make your comments first?
Speaker 5: Well, I'd like to make my comments after hearing the speakers.
Speaker 0: Okay.
Speaker 1: So and how many speakers do we have? Okay.
Speaker 2: With that, it's Pat Potter and John Spangler.
Speaker 0: Hello. I'm Pat Potter. I'm part of the Transportation.
Speaker 6: Awareness Committee that Gail Payne.
Speaker 0: Spearheads. Excuse me. And as such.
Speaker 6: We are actually literally knocking on doors to get people out of their cars to ride the bus. So I want to support Alameda is Livable Neighborhoods.
Speaker 0: And Safe Streets initiative whereby we look at how.
Speaker 6: We make a complete safe street.
Speaker 0: Before we paint.
Speaker 6: And that's one reason. But the other reason is that.
Speaker 0: When you get to be my age, which you guys obviously.
Speaker 6: Aren't yet.
Speaker 0: You realize that.
Speaker 6: It takes a little bit longer to drive across the street because you're scared to death. Somebody is going to go flying down and T-Bone you. And so I get a little hesitant. And part of the reason is because this issue of daylighting, I mean, I.
Speaker 0: I live on Peru.
Speaker 6: And I come to Santa Clara and it's really hard. You just sort of into your way out to try and see if somebody coming down and, you know, on Santa Clara, they're going to go barreling down. So please consider making the streets safer before you paint them.
