CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT DATE: July 19, 2010 APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL ~~~ Stephen L. Hollister City Manager TO: Stephen L. Hollister, City Manager FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, Director ~ y:: Engineering and Transportation BY: Keith Cooke, Principal Engine r ' Engineering and Transportation De ent SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION RESOLUTION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT TO AJW CONSTRUCTION FOR THE ANNUAL SIDEWALK PROGRAM 2010-11, PROJECT NO. 10-144-36-006. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION This project provides for removal and replacement of damaged concrete sidewalk, driveway approaches, curbs, curb ramps and gutters throughout the City. Staff recommends award of contract to AJW Construction in the amount $222,950 for the subject project. BACKGROUND Property owners are required by both the State Highway Code and San Leandro Municipal Code to maintain the sidewalks along their frontage. The City operates a sidewalk repair program, described in Title 8 of the San Leandro Administrative Code, which provides for the repair of sidewalk damage. Minor defects are ground or patched at no (direct) charge to property owners. Larger defects that require removal and replacement of the concrete are also repaired under the program, but the property owner adjacent to such a defect must reimburse the City for the full construction cost unless a city street tree is the cause of damage. Property owners are only responsible to pay for half the construction cost for damage caused by a city street tree. In addition to the repair of sidewalk, this project will include the installation of some sidewalk curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. As part of the City's ADA curb ramp transition plan, several updated sidewalk curb ramps are installed each year. These ramps are installed adjacent to new street work, at resident requested locations and eventually at all intersections.
