Budget 1989-90

$75,000
This year's program is being funded through a Transportation Development Act
(TDA) Article 3 (pedestrian/bikeway) grant.
DESCRIPTION:
Prior to incorporation, Alameda County had modified existing catch basin
grates by adding steel bars in order to make them safer for bicyclists. Over
the years, many of these bars have broken loose. These grates present an
ongoing maintenance and liability problem.
This year's project would replace approximately 225 of the needed 472 grates
throughout the City. As the grant is a fixed amount, the n~nber of grates
will be increased or decreased by change order after the bid in order to fit
the budget.
Staff hopes to obtain TDA funding in upcoming years to complete the project.
It is recor~nended that the City Council authorize Staff to advertise for bids
for the 1989-90 Catch Basin Grate Replacement Program.
