The Sidewalk Replacement Program involved the removal and replacement of sidewalks at 87 locations throughout the City. A total of 5,458 square feet of concrete was replaced.

The Public Works Inspector noted areas, which were hazardous, and required removal in order to avoid potential liability for the City. COPIES TO: Hess Construction L484 Hess~r~¥~8~ ITEM NO. q'~O Valle0o, oa ~p w The Silvergate Drive/Silvertree Lane Median break also required a modification to the original contract. The left turn stacking area for west bound vehicles turning onto Silvertree Lane was required to be extended due to the curve of the road. This modification increased the amount of roadway to be paved and excavated. When the Contract was awarded to Hess Construction, Inc. their original bid price was very low for the installation of the Handicap Ramps. This project is funded through the use of Housing Community Development Act Funds, (HCDA). In order to utilize the funds in an effective manner the Council authorized the City Engineer to initiate a change order which would add additional Handicap Ramp locations. A total of 6g Handicap Ramps were installed on major streets. This project was undertaken with recommendations from a handicapped resident, who requires the ramps for wheelchair access to sidewalks. The City Engineer Staff has reviewed the work on these three projects and determined that it is complete and in accordance with the approved plans specifications and modifications. Staff recommends that the City Council accept the improvements, authorize the final payment in the amount of $9,647.50, and, authorize an appropriation from reserves to meet the final cost of the three projects. -2-
