A. Rosemead Park Walking Trail Replacement Project No. 49019- Award of Contract\nIn December 2020, the replacement of the Rosemead Park Walking Trail was\ncompleted. On January 12, 2021, a community petition was filed at City Hall stating\nsafety concerns of the newly replaced Trail. In response to the community petition,\nthe City Council directed staff to develop options to improve the Trail and address\nthe community concerns. At the April 27, 2021, City Council meeting, staff presented\noptions to improve the Trail, however, none of the options were approved by\nCity Council. On September 29, 2021, the City Council directed staff to develop a\nTrail Subcommittee to help identify additional potential options for improvements to\nthe trail. The Subcommittee assisted in identifying potential options to address\ncommunity safety concerns by performing athorough evaluation of potential options\nand working to develop a recommended option. At the July 12, 2022, City Council\nmeeting, Option 4 was approved to address the concerns of the walking trail.\nOption 4, includes removal of the existing half-inch synthetic layer at Rosemead Park\nWalking Trail and the grinding of an inch of the existing concrete base to\naccommodate for a new inch and a half synthetic layer. Staff also coordinated for a\ntopographic survey of the walking trail to be conducted to identify several additional\nlow spots along the walking trail. A total of twenty- three low spots were identified\nand will serve as the locations of the one -inch diameter weep holes to be installed\nthrough the subbase along the walking trail, which will serve as drainage to minimize\nstanding water within the synthetic layer. This option achieves the project goal which\nis to install a softer synthetic surface to address safety concerns from the community\nas well as ADA access compliance. As a result of a comprehensive bid analysis to\ndetermine the apparent low bid, the bid submitted by R. E. Schultz Construction, Inc.\nin the amount of $487, 630 was determined to be the lowest responsive bid.\nRecommendation: That the City Council take the following actions:\n1.
