RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the final plans and specifications and authorize the publication of a notice inviting bids for the Sidewalk, Curb Ramp and Driveway Approach Project, PZ-428.
BACKGROUND
The City receives maintenance requests from the public for areas such as broken and uplifted concrete sidewalks, curb ramps, driveway approaches and street sections. Public Works Department compiles resident requests and investigates them to assess the damage and potential hazard to pedestrians. In addition to the ongoing repairs completed by Public Works Maintenance and Operations Staff, Engineering Division regularly manages projects that can address many locations at once, prioritizing locations based on severity, budget constraints, and previous maintenance measures. This Project addresses infrastructure repairs citywide at various locations. Since sidewalk uplift at many locations is mainly attributed to parkway tree root intrusion, tree root trimming is also part of the scope, and the City Arborist shall be consulted.
The bid documents include both the construction exhibits and specifications that have been prepared by engineering staff.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The total estimated project cost is $416,000. The proposed project will be funded with City funds allocated FY 25/26 FY budget for Capital Improvement Projects through General Fund and Gas Tax Fund sources found on pages 591 and 590 of the budget book respectively.
Proposed Project Budget Funding Source
418.CP.80000.000.000.000.730100.PZ428 $ 444,500.00
420.CP.80000.000.000.000.730100.PZ428 $ 78,500.00
