Receive a presentation for the Imola Avenue Gateway Enhancement Project (Project), and provide feedback and direction to staff regarding the preferred course of action for the Project. Three alternative courses of action include, but are not limited to:

(2) Reject the bids and direct staff to prepare a phased project in which a smaller scope of work would be re-bid that would not need the budget appropriation.
(3) Reject the bids and direct staff to work with the Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) to explore an approach that would allow these improvements to be incorporated into the scope of work for the NVTA Imola Corridor Complete Streets Improvement Plan which will consider design improvements within the entire right of way of Imola Avenue for its entire length from Foster Road to Skyline Park.
