<br />the Call for Bids for the Annual Sidewalk Repair Program 2012-13, Project No. 2013.0050 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The project provides for the removal and replacement of damaged concrete
<br />sidewalks, driveway approaches, curbs and gutters, and the installation of sidewalk curb ramps throughout the city. Staff recommends approval of the plans and specifications and call
<br />for bids for the subject project. BACKGROUND Property owners are required by the San Leandro Municipal Code to maintain the sidewalks along their frontage. The City completes sidewalk
<br />maintenance through the Sidewalk Repair Program, described in Title 8 of the Sann Leandro Administrative Code, which provides for the repair of damaged sidewalks. When the City is
<br />made aware of damaged public sidewalks, staff examines the area to determine whether repairs or replacement would be best. Minor defects to sidewalks adjacent to private residences
<br />are ground or patched at no (direct) charge to property owners. Larger defects that require removal and replacement of either the sidewalks or driveway approaches are also repaired
<br />under the Program, but the property owner adjacent to such a defect must reimburse the City for the full costs unless a City street tree is the cause. If a City street tree is the
<br />cause, property owners are required to pay only half of the costs. In addition to the repair of sidewalks, this project will install handicap curb ramps to meet current Americans
<br />with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. As part of the Citys ADA curb ramp transition plan, several sidewalk curb ramps are installed or improved each year. These ramps are installeed
<br />adjacent to new street work and at resident requested locations. Staff City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 8/28/2012
<br />File Number: 12-401 hopes to eventually install updated ramps at all City intersections. The City pays the cost for the installation of the ramps, repair of sidewalks along the frontage
<br />of City facilities, and the sidewalk within curb returns. Analysis One of the ways the City has kept up with the maintenance of its aging infrastructures is by awarding yearly construction
<br />contracts for the Sidewalk Repair Program. This years contract is estimated to be $400,000 and should construct about 1,200 linear feet of curb and gutter, 8,000 square feet of sidewalk,
<br />85 handicap curb ramps and 35 driveway approaches. The actual quantities will be determined by the number of requests for work the City receives from residents. Applicable General
<br />Plan Policies Policy No. 14.07 - Pedestrian Environment; strive to achieve a more comfortable environment for pedestrians in all areas of San Leandro. Environmental Review This project
<br />is categorically exempt pursuant to subsection (c) of section 15301 of the CEQA Guiddelines. Fiscal Impacts This project is estimated to cost about $447,000, including staff time,
