DISCUSSION
Background
The Miracle Mile is predominantly a shopping and dining district within the City of Stockton. The Miracle Mile includes businesses fronting along Pacific Avenue from Alpine Avenue to Harding Way and along Harding Way between El Dorado Street and Lincoln Street. The Miracle Mile Parking Lots Resurfacing project was included in the 2021-26 Five-Year CIP.
The two parking lots, A and C, within the Miracle Mile, have deteriorated and are in need of pavement improvements. These lots are provided to support commercial businesses along the Miracle Mile. The Miracle Mile Parking Lots Resurfacing project will resurface parking lots A and C located along the Miracle Mile. The project scope also includes removal and reconstruction of failed curbs, gutters, sidewalk segments, and driveways, preservation of all existing survey monuments, installation of new pavement markers and striping, adjustment of existing utilities to pavement finished grade, and installation of parking signage (Attachment A).
On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. The CWTA was not applied to this project because the estimated construction is less than $1 million.
