File Number: 19-573 <br />In addition to the work contemplated by the original construction contract, the City also authorized <br />Sposeto Engineering, Inc. to complete additional work by contract change order (CCO). Utilizing <br />the contractor’s availability and expertise allowed needed concrete improvements to be <br />completed quickly and efficiently within the allocated budget contingency. These improvements <br />included the upgrade of curb ramps at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Parrott Street <br />in preparation for the Rainbow Crosswalk installation, and sidewalk replacement associated with <br />the traffic signal improvements at the intersection of Bancroft Avenue and Sybil Avenue. <br />Under San Leandro Municipal Code Section 5-1-415, property owners are responsible for <br />maintenance and repair of the sidewalks adjoining their property. The Sidewalk Repair Program <br />offers property owners an opportunity to use a City-hired contractor for needed repairs, the direct <br />cost of which is billed to them upon completion. Taking advantage of this program allows property <br />owners to benefit from the economies-of-scale inherent in combining many small repairs into one <br />large project. Property owners also avoid having to hire a contractor on their own and incurring <br />permitting and inspection costs. <br />This program benefits both property owners and the City by eliminating trip-and-fall hazards. The <br />program strives to create a safe walking environment for pedestrians, and makes the City a <br />better place to live and work. <br />Analysis <br />The construction contract is now complete.
