CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT DATE: February 1, 2010 TO: Stephen L. Hollister, City Manager FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, Directo Engineering and Transportation epartment BY: Kenneth Joseph, P. E., City En~ineer SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL ~~~~. Stephen L. Hollister City Manager RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE WORK FOR WICKS BOULEVARD SIDEWALK PROJECT, PROJECT NO. 09-144-36-287. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends acceptance of the work, filing of the Notice of Completion, and upon completion to the satisfaction of the City Engineer of the one-year maintenance period, hereby authorizes the City Manager to release the Maintenance Bond for the subject project. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS On the easterly side of Wicks Boulevard between Stenzel Park and Burkhart Avenue, the gravel path had become overgrown with ivy. This path is often used as a pedestrian walkway when large events are held at the Marina Community Center or Stenzel Park. Wicks Boulevard, at the Marina Community Center, was identified as a key location in both our Pedestrian Project list in the Pedestrian and Bike Master Plan as well as the Sidewalk Gap Program. The project constructed approximately 1,100 feet of sidewalk between Stenzel Park and Burkhart Avenue along Wicks Boulevard. About 294 feet of retaining wall was also installed at heights varying from 1 foot to 1.75 feet. The width of the sidewalk is American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant and varies from 4.5 feet to 5 feet, depending on whether a retaining wall is present in that location. A total of four new ADA ramps were also installed within the project limits. Construction and punch list work was completed by FBD Vanguard Construction on January 15, 2010. Due to a conflict with an underground PG&E electrical conduit, one remaining street light and a small section of sidewalk remains to be done. As soon as PG&E performs the work, the City will complete the project under a separate contract and the temporary asphalt will be removed.
