14. Report regarding adoption of Resolution No. 89-2022 awarding a construction contract to
CF Contracting, Inc. for the Grand Avenue and Airport Boulevard Streetscape
Improvements Project (No. st1801, Bid No. 2657) in an amount not to exceed $3,188,285,
authorizing a total construction contract authority budget of $3,825,942. (Jeffrey Chou,
Associate Civil Engineer)
Associate Civil Engineer Chou presented the report to City Council and stated the project was a part
of a larger effort undertaken by the city to improve pedestrian and bicycle accessibility and safety
for neighborhoods within the project's vicinity and the city's downtown area. The project would
construct pedestrian and bicycle improvements that would close the gap between the West Plaza of
the new South San Francisco Caltrain station and the pedestrian and bicycle connections in the
city's downtown areas.
City Attorney Woodruff stated that the contractor had an outstanding item related to an
investigation opened by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). He confirmed with the DIR
and the contractor attorney that the payroll information had been submitted to DIR. City Attorney
Woodruff advised there was no determination by DIR that there had been any violation of State
prevailing wage or other payment laws.
Mayor Nagales inquired if the council rejected the bid, the next set of bidders could potentially be a
lot higher due to construction delays. City Attorney Woodruff advised that it was uncommon for a
readvertised project to come back with a lower bid without any change to the project itself.
Councilmember Flores inquired about the current and proposed width of the lanes for the
intersection. Associate Civil Engineer Chou advised the existing lanes are 12 feet and that the new
proposed lanes would be reduced to 11 feet. Councilmember Flores stated the National Association
of City Transportation Officials Urban Street Design Guide recommended travel lanes width at 10
feet to discourage speeding. Principal Engineer Ruble advised that Airport Boulevard was one of
the main truck routes to and from the project area, so when truck routes were involved, staff had to
look at turning movements and ensure big rigs and various -sized vehicles had adequate room to
maneuver.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 2022
MINUTES PAGE 5
Councilmember Addiego applauded the efforts of South San Francisco Scavenger Company for
keeping up with an industry with constant changes.
Councilmember Flores inquired whether there was something staff could do to get a wider reach of
the generous voucher program still in the pilot phase. City Manager Futrell advised that staff was
working with Scavenger to allow residents to bring a large load of garbage or a couch to
Scavenger's, and they would accept it free of charge. Councilmember Flores suggested the city
partner with Scavenger and find a solution for those residents that may not have a vehicle to take an
oversized couch or other trash to the facility. He suggested working with apartment complexes with
a live-in manager to coordinate with Scavenger to pick up large items that other residents cannot
take to Scavenger and drop them off at the apartment complex. City Manager Futrell stated that
through the Housing Department, staff would be able to coordinate that. Mr. Button advised they
were open to working and trying to help with any problems that arose. He advised of the complexity
of multi -family units not having the land space to accommodate a clean-up location for large, bulky
items.
Vice Mayor Nicolas recommended the voucher program be available city-wide and not just in
certain areas to address the illegal dumping around the city.
