A <br />iSx'4City of San Leandro <br />Meeting Date: November 5, 2012 <br />0011. Staff Report <br />File Number: 12-490 Agenda Section: CONSENT CALENDAR <br />Agenda Number: 8.C. <br />TO: City Council <br />FROM: Chris Zapata <br />City Manager <br />BY: Uchenna Udemezue <br />Engineering & Transportation Director <br />FINANCE REVIEW: David Baum <br />Finance Director <br />TITLE: Staff Report for a Resolution Awarding a Construction Contract to Rosas <br />Brothers Construction for the Annual Sidewalk Repair Program 2012-13, <br />Project No. 2013.0050 <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />The project provides for the removal and replacement of damaged concrete sidewalks, <br />driveway approaches, curbs and gutters, and the installation of sidewalk curb ramps <br />throughout the City. <br />Staff recommends award of the construction contract to Rosas Brothers Construction in the <br />amount of $274,665 for the subject project. <br />BACKGROUND <br />Property owners are required by the San Leandro Municipal Code to maintain the sidewalks <br />along their property's frontage. The City's sidewalk maintenance requirements are specified <br />in the Sidewalk Repair Program, Title 8 of the San Leandro Administrative Code, which <br />provides for the repair of damaged sidewalks. When the City is informed about damaged <br />public sidewalks, staff examines the area to determine whether repairs or replacement will be <br />required. Minor sidewalk defects are ground or patched at no charge to the adjacent property <br />owners. Larger defects that require removal and replacement of either the sidewalks or <br />driveway approaches are also repaired under the Program, but the adjacent property owner to <br />such a defect must reimburse the City for the full costs unless a City street tree is the cause. <br />If a City street tree is the cause, then the costs are divided evenly between the property <br />owners and the City. <br />In addition to the repair of sidewalks, this project will install sidewalk curb ramps to meet <br />current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. As part of the City's ADA curb <br />ramp transition plan, several sidewalk curb ramps are installed or improved each year. These <br />ramps are installed adjacent to new street work and at citizen requested locations. Staff <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 10/30/2012 <br />
