CITY OF SAN LEANDRO APPROVED AND STAFF REPORT FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL DATE: June 6, 2011 Stephen L. Hollister TO: Stephen L. Hollister, City Manager City Manager FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, Director Engineering and Transportation epartment BY: Kenneth Joseph, City Engine Engineering and Transportati n Department SUBJECT PROJECT /PROJECT DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND CALLING FOR BIDS_ FOR THE PAR COURSE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, PROJECT NUMBER 10- 150 -38 -322. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION This project provides for reconstruction of the asphalt concrete pathways and replacement of the exercise equipment at the Marina Park par course. Staff recommends approval of the plans and specifications and call for bids for the subject project. BACKGROUND On March 2, 2009, the City received notice from the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) of our eligibility for $3,740,998 in Measure WW Park Bond funds. The funds are for the acquisition and development of neighborhood, community, and regional parks and recreation lands and facilities. The City asked citizens for their input on how they would like the money spent and chose to proceed with the top ten projects. The poor condition . of the asphalt pavement, tripping hazards, and deteriorating par course exercise equipment were noted as features that the community would like to see improved with Measure WW funding. ANALYSIS The condition of the asphalt at the par course has deteriorated to the point that patching is ineffective and erosion of the path edge has created tripping hazards. The project will reconstruct the asphalt concrete pathways, construct concrete pads for new exercise equipment, and install new benches at intervals along the par course pathway. Some sections of the path will be realigned and re- graded to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and to take advantage of views of the San Francisco Bay and San Leandro Marina.
