Description/History
The 2020 Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails Master Plan included a spine trail phasing and prioritization plan. Trail segment “M” represents phase 3 of the Walnut Creek Linear Park system from James McKnight Park East to Elmer W. Oliver Nature Park. For planning and implementation purposes, this 2.25-mile segment was broken into two phases. Phase 3A extended the trail system from James McKnight Park East to Carlin Road as it winds through the Shops at Broad development and was completed in 2022. Phase 3B will begin at Carlin Road and run along Cannon Drive and Matlock Road into Elmer W. Oliver Nature Park.
Kimley Horn and Associates Inc., was retained to formulate the conceptual trail plan, analyze the street adjacency on Cannon Drive and Matlock Road and then develop the construction documents for advertisement and bidding for phase 3B trail development. Following site survey work and base data collection, construction and bidding documents were completed earlier this year.
On October 31, 2024, six bids were received and publicly opened (bid tab is attached). After careful evaluation of all bid proposals received, staff determined that the issuance of addendum #2 led to confusion for the bidders as to the intent of the scope of work and instructions for how to submit the associated bid price. Therefore, staff is recommending that all bids are rejected and the project be re-advertised for bid. If this resolution is approved, the project will be re-advertised in late-November, with a proposed bid opening date in December.
