DESCRIPTION: On November 28, 1991, the City Council awarded Contract
91-09 to Phil Thomasson Construction.
The program is supplemental to the Annual Sidewalk Repair Program which replaced
sidewalk that might have presented a tripping hazard. The grinding program ground
sidewalk offsets which were not caused by root damage or excessive earth movement.
Thomasson Construction was able to grind 500 locations for the budgeted amount.
This operation costs approximately one-third of the traditional remove-and-replace
procedure and is less disruptive to the pedestrian right-of-way. However, Staff
will monitor these locations during the coming year to see if any offsets reappear
and that this process is successful.
Extra locations were authorized during the course of construction because of the low
unit cost, and the surface grinding of the Swim Center floors was added to alleviate
slipping problems.
The City Engineer has reviewed the work on the project and determined that it is
complete and in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. Staff
recommends that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize retention
payment to Phil Thomasson Construction in the amount of $6,590.20.
