Item F: Annual Slurry Seal Project CIP ST1701-ST1801 and
Item G: Annual Slurry Seal Project CIP ST1901:
These projects were completed under the original contract award amounts. What do
we think the reason was for this? The actual quantities used in the field were less than the
estimated contract bid quantities and thus lowered the overall cost as compared to the
contract bid amount.
Item I: Parking Related Municipal Code Changes and Parking Policy Revisions:
Just a couple questions for clarification:
Page 3 of Staff Report: New: “Re-parking restrictions in timed parking zones. Sets a 150
feet restriction.” Should this say Commercial? Yes for better clarification, thank you.
We will make the change. Do we have residential “timed parking zones?” City streets
with permit requirements are considered the time-restricted zones in the residential
areas.
8.15.070.C. How will drivers know that the theater is open? Will there be signage? The signage
that would be installed at that location notifying parkers of short-term parking would also include the
operating hours for the theater.
8.15.095. How will the locations of the Taxi/Rideshare stops be determined? Will there be
input from businesses and community in helping to determine these? The Traffic Engineer has
authority to determine locations for active passenger loading and unloading. Proposals for two
loading/unloading locations – one on the west side of Ocean Ave across from Bogarts Coffee and one
in front of the Bay Theatre, have been submitted.

Item L: Pier Project:
In the Project Change Orders (PCO’s) Summary Table on page 3 of the Staff Report, there is an
entry of $685,129.06 for “Per Bid Contract Soft Costs.” I did not see these explained. What,
specifically, do these charges include? “Soft Costs” is a construction industry term used to account
for an expense item that is not considered direct construction cost. “Soft Costs” typically includes
architectural, engineering, financing, inspection, management, and other pre- and post-construction
expenses. For the Pier Improvements Project, the "soft costs" include construction management and
inspection (Simplus) and construction support services by both design engineers (AKM and Moffatt &
Nichol).
