Jermanis ?Ianager <br />Subject: RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND CALLING FOR <br />BIDS FOR A CITY-WIDE ENTRY SIGN AT SAN LEANDRO BOULEVARD, <br />PROJECT NO. 99-210-33-133 <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends approval of plans and specifications and call for bids for the subject project. <br />BACKGROUND <br />As part of the 1997-98 budget approved by City Council on June 16, 1997 by Resolution No. 97-68, <br />monies were approved to continue the installation of entryway monuments reflective of the City's <br />character at major City entrances. Several locations were identified including San Leandro Boulevard at <br />the City of Oakland's border. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The 1997-98 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget provided for the continuation of monument <br />installations at major City entrances. The City hired a Landscape Architectural firm, John Cahalan, for this <br />CIP improvement. <br />The project includes the construction of a twelve -foot high polished granite monument on the west side of <br />San Leandro Boulevard at the City of Oakland border. The monument will be similar to the newly <br />completed structure on Washington Avenue. <br />Other components of construction include uplights to illuminate the entryway sign and two hundred -foot <br />landscape and irrigation installations along the same side of the street as the entryway sign, within the public <br />right-of-way. The landscaping will both enhance the entry and provide a visual barrier to the railroad track <br />beyond. <br />38J <br />
