REPORT SUMMARY:
In October of last year, a contract was awarded to George Bianchi Construction, Inc. by the Saratoga
City Council for the 2006 Annual Concrete Repair Project. This contract is generally put out to bid
every year, and includes furnishing all materials, equipment, and labor to repair/replace damaged
curb, gutter, and sidewalk facilities at various locations throughout the City.
As part of the ongoing Quito Road Sidewalk Project, Public Works will be installing curb, gutter &
sidewalk along Quito Road between the Hwy. 85 overpass and the nearest VTA bus stop. This work
will further the goal of continuous walkway along the length of Quito Road, and provide an
important pedestrian connection for students walking to the VTA stop. Additionally, this work will
be fully reimbursed through VTA’s “guaranteed” TDA Article 3 funding program once the work is
complete.
To proceed with this project in the most cost-effective and timely fashion, it is recommended that
Council approve an increase to the change order authority with George Bianchi Construction, Inc.
for additional scope of work, in the amount of $19,000.
