A. Rosemead Park Walking Trail Replacement Project No. 49019- Award of Contract In December 2020, the replacement of the Rosemead Park Walking Trail was completed. On January 12, 2021, a community petition was filed at City Hall stating safety concerns of the newly replaced Trail. In response to the community petition, the City Council directed staff to develop options to improve the Trail and address the community concerns. At the April 27, 2021, City Council meeting, staff presented options to improve the Trail, however, none of the options were approved by City Council. On September 29, 2021, the City Council directed staff to develop a Trail Subcommittee to help identify additional potential options for improvements to the trail. The Subcommittee assisted in identifying potential options to address community safety concerns by performing athorough evaluation of potential options and working to develop a recommended option. At the July 12, 2022, City Council meeting, Option 4 was approved to address the concerns of the walking trail. Option 4, includes removal of the existing half-inch synthetic layer at Rosemead Park Walking Trail and the grinding of an inch of the existing concrete base to accommodate for a new inch and a half synthetic layer. Staff also coordinated for a topographic survey of the walking trail to be conducted to identify several additional low spots along the walking trail. A total of twenty- three low spots were identified and will serve as the locations of the one -inch diameter weep holes to be installed through the subbase along the walking trail, which will serve as drainage to minimize standing water within the synthetic layer. This option achieves the project goal which is to install a softer synthetic surface to address safety concerns from the community as well as ADA access compliance. As a result of a comprehensive bid analysis to determine the apparent low bid, the bid submitted by R. E. Schultz Construction, Inc. in the amount of $487, 630 was determined to be the lowest responsive bid. Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions: 1. Approve the plans and specifications for the Rosemead Park Walking Trail Replacement— Project No. 49019; and 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with R. E.
