MEMORANDUM - CITY OF PASADENA
DEPARTMENT of TRANSPORTATION
DATE:
October 28, 2014
TO:
Municipal Services Committee
FROM:
Frederick C. Dock, Director
SUBJECT: ACTION PLAN FOR PROTECTED BIKEWAYS
BACKGROUND:
In July 2013 the Municipal Services Committee (Committee) received a presentation on
the Draft Bicycle Transportation Plan. Following public input and discussion the
Committee directed staff to seek input from the cycling community to develop a “bolder”
approach to the proposed Bikeway facilities to be included in the Draft Bicycle
Transportation Plan.
In December 2013 staff updated the Committee that a large working group of
representatives from the cycling community, business districts and homeowners
associations convened a workshop to discuss how the draft plan could be modified to
meet the direction of the Municipal Services Committee and community concerns.
Staff engaged an analysis of Bicycle Stress Level Mapping to better communicate
conditions on streets for bicycling in the City of Pasadena. The stress level map was
used as a visual means for focusing discussion on corridors. The integration of the
stress level map and the draft bike plan illustrated the limited efficiency of bike routes
that do not provide space for cyclists on the street. The following corridors were
identified by the working group for new protected routes:
o North/South: El Molino, Wilson, Sierra Bonita, and Craig
o East/West: Washington, Orange Grove, Villa, Union, Green, Colorado and
Del Mar.
February 2014 a Request for Proposals was advertised and KOA Corporation was hired
to conduct a Bikeway Analysis and Feasibility Study on the identified routes.
June 2014 KOA Corporation completed its analysis. The analysis includes all physical
changes needed to implement the protected bikeways along with any negative affects to
available parking and congestion. The analysis also includes all construction costs for
the proposed bikeways. July 2014 staff updated the Municipal Services Committee on
the findings of the bikeway study and that of the working group’s recommendations.
Public Outreach
In June 2014 staff held a workshop for the working group where KOA presented their
findings and the working group ranked the corridors for protected bikeways.
In August 2014 staff held an open house to present the findings to the general public
and gain their input. On October 2, 2014 staff held an additional open house focused
Municipal Services Committee

on the business community to present the findings and gain input. On October 23, 2014
staff will present the Action Plan to the Transportation Advisory Commission.
Action Plan for Protected Bikeways
Based upon the findings of the Bikeway Feasibility Study and input received through
public outreach staff developed the following prioritized action plan for project
implementation. This priority list will assist staff in developing grant applications and
securing funding to construct these projects:
1. Cordova Street – Road Diet and Class II Bike Lanes (Arroyo Parkway to Hill
Street). Metro grant funding secured. To be completed by 2017.
2. Union Street - Two-way Cycle Track (Arroyo Parkway to Hill Street)
3. Colorado Boulevard (East) - Buffered Bike Lane (Holliston Avenue to Madre
Street)
a. Holliston Avenue (Greenway - Union Street to Cordova Street)
4. Greenways
a. Wilson Avenue
b. Villa Street
c. Craig Avenue
d. Sierra Bonita Avenue
e. El Molino Avenue
5. Orange Grove Boulevard - Buffered Bike Lane
6. Washington Boulevard - Buffered Bike Lane (Lincoln to El Molino Avenues)
While Green Street and Del Mar Boulevard were identified by the community as
candidate corridors for protected bike facilities the staff recommendation for the
prioritized implementation does not include Green Street because of its proximity to
Cordova Street (which serves the same purpose) and the potential impact a Cycle
Track would have to on-street parking. Del Mar Boulevard was eliminated because it
received the lowest ranking and any bikeway improvements would include a road diet to
Del Mar Boulevard which is designated as a mobility corridor in the City’s General Plan.

NEXT STEPS:
Staff will incorporate the recommend action plan into a revised Draft Bicycle
Transportation Plan. In conjunction with the proposed protected bikeways and
greenways, staff will use the Bicycle Stress Level Map to develop a network of
comfortable streets for cycling that will be added to the Plan and that can be
implemented at a relatively low cost. A public outreach campaign will be continued
during this process to gain additional input and support.
Staff will then return to the Municipal Services Committee in spring 2015 with the
revised Draft Bicycle Transportation Plan for consideration by City Council.

Recommended treatments subject to future analysis
34
North-South Bicycle Boulevards
Bicycle Boulevards are recommended to:
• Provide bike preferential treatment for at least
one location,
• Minimize the number of stop signs facing
bicyclists,
• Slow the speeds or reduce the volume of
motor vehicles, and
• Ease the passage of cyclists through barriers
such as busy streets or physical obstructions.
The result is a more complete street.

October 2014
The project continues to move forward towards a May/June 2016 Commercial Operation date. The
following major activities have occurred since the last update.
•
•
•
Budget
o City Council approved increasing the project budget to $136.9 million on September 30,
2014.
.
Balance of the Plant contract (“BOP”) – Contractor: ARB, Inc.
o Demolition activities have been nearly completed; quantities of concrete, asphalt and
contaminated soil in excess of the contract were discovered on the site.
o Excavation, backfill and compaction at the site continued.
o Tunnels into the Glenarm Building have been sealed.
o Mud mats for the Cooling Tower and Gas Turbine foundations were formed and poured
o Change Order #1 - A request has been submitted by ARB for the amount of $400,222 for
additional demolition costs for concrete, soil, asphalt and asbestos in excess of the
specified bid quantities. Staff is reviewing the change order request.
o Change Order #2 – A request has been submitted by ARB for a credit in the amount of
$216,000 to the City for the deletion of breakers from the original electrical scope. Staff is
reviewing the change order request.
o Change Order #3 – A request has been submitted by ARB for a credit in the amount of
$3,000 to the City for GE to modify the base of the GSU transformer mounting base. The
change order will offset change order #5 with GE.
o Change Order #4 – A request has been submitted by ARB for the amount of $29,000 to

general arrangement drawing into the contract, identify the control panel delivery location,
and adjust the plant auxiliary load performance guarantee by 186 kW due to the absence of
Variable Frequency Drives for the boiler feed pumps and 52 kW for the use of glycol
instead of Dynalene® in the plant chill water loop is still pending. The change order does
not change the contract amount.
o Change Order # 5 – GE will modify the GSU transformer mounting base to allow for
welding. Cost will be $3,000 but will be offset by a credit from ARB
•
Site Operations
o City staff removed a water line from the project area.
•
Other Project Activities
o State Street Cul-de-Sac closure is pending approval by Public Works; the required courtesy
notices have been mailed.
o A project design review was held on October 22-23 with representatives from the City, the
BOP and the PIE.
•
Major Potential Issues
On Going Issues
o Natural gas supply for GT-5 - Updated
Southern California Gas Company (“Gas Company”) determined that the two of the three
proposed connections will not be designated as a special services request and issued two
Cost Work Authorizations (CWA). Staff is making a recommendation to upsize the piping
and meter at the existing Glenarm Station. The estimated cost for the recommended
Glenarm Upgrade option is $1,288,545.
o GE’s sound engineer has indicated there may be a need to install sound walls around the
generator step-up transformer. The preliminary estimate for the sound wall including
installation is $150,000.
o Gas Compressor Fire Protection
The gas compressor sound attenuation enclosure has been redesigned to have 3 walls and
a partial roof. Pasadena Fire Department has indicated they will require a fire protection
system for the enclosures. The cost implications and potential change orders for work
beyond the contract are not finalized yet.
o California Clean Energy Committee filed an appeal and petitioned for a stay order for the
GT-5 Repowering project. The judge denied the petition for the stay order. The appeal is in
progress.
o EIR consultant is claiming approx. $100,000 in costs in excess of the contracted amount.
Staff has not made final determination yet.
o Eighty-six percent of the $3 million dollar Owner’s Engineer contract amount is expended,
Owner’s Engineer has provided a detailed task and cost estimate for their expected
remaining involvement. Staff will contain the scope of work to remain within the contracted
amount.
•
Schedule
o ARB has submitted a schedule with a target for May 16, 2016 for Substantial Completion.
•
Safety
o ARB has worked approximately 4,700 man-hours on the site with no reportable incidents or
injuries.

Local Participation Plan Update
For the Glenarm Repowering Project (Project)
As of October, 2014
1) Staff has participated in weekly meetings with the contractors and the Project
Team to maintain focus on the Local Participation Plan (Plan). The Plan calls
for 15% local subcontracting and procurement. As of October 23, 2014, the
Project is reporting $462,272.85 or 27.7% of its subcontracting and
procurement has been spent with Pasadena businesses.
2) The Project Labor Agreement calls for 25% of the payroll to be satisfied by
Pasadena residents. Staff has been monitoring the onsite certified payroll on
an ongoing basis since the start of the Project, and advising the Prime and
Project Team on strategies that will enable the Project to meet or exceed the
local hiring goal. As of October 23, 2014, ARB and their subcontractors are
reporting $67,778.60 in payroll to Pasadena residents, which represents
36.1% of the total payroll for the project. A labor wage summary report is
attached for review.
3) Staff provided a “late certified payroll” report to the Project Team, the Prime
and subcontractors. The purpose of this report was to inform the team of the
contractor’s certified payroll submittals that were more than 14 days late.
Staff has recommended that contractors be required to be current with their
payroll reports prior to processing their Pay Applications.
4) Staff is facilitating ongoing follow up on various requests made from ARB and
their subcontractors to the Union halls. Current feedback from the Unions
regarding the contractors’ requests for Pasadena residents is functional, and
there is currently an adequate Pasadena workforce for meeting the 25% goal.
However, staff will begin to focus its efforts on preparing for the peak areas of
the project in the next calendar year.
5) Recently, staff has been informed by the Project Team that Pipefitters may be
the most utilized trade on the site. Staff has begun to shift its focus to this
trade.
6) Staff is facilitating a “Special Recruitment” for Pasadena residents with the
Carpenters, Cement Masons, and Pipefitters. The recruitment is scheduled
for November 4, 2014 at 8:30AM at the Jackie Robinson Community Center
(JRCC). These trades were estimated by the Project Team to be three of the
top six trades for the Project. The trade unions will provide detailed
presentations of their apprenticeship programs and unique application
processes. The purpose of this effort is to expand the Pasadena workforce
with the unions. In addition, the Prime will provide an overview of the project
and its workforce needs. The outreach for this effort includes direct briefing to
various community stakeholders, a posting on the Project’s web page
(http://cityofpasadena.net/waterandpower/gt5/), a mailer to over 800
Pasadena residents in our database, distribution to neighborhood
associations, community centers and the Central Library, and a posting on
the City’s Facebook, Twitter accounts and KPAS.
7) Staff continued its outreach to local organizations to request contact
information for potential Pasadena apprentices to be included in the City’s
local hiring database. The purpose of this effort was to ensure that Pasadena
residents seeking apprenticeship and employment opportunities were
included in the recruitment and referral process during the course of the
Project.
8) Staff continued its monthly meeting with community stakeholders to discuss
Local Participation. The purpose of these meetings is to provide information
on strategies the City uses to maximize local participation. The benefit of
these meetings are information sharing, and overall communication with
community members interested in the results of the City’s local hiring and
procurement efforts.
