DESCRIPTION: The Sidewalk Safety (Grinding) Project is a response to the
increasing costs of the Annual Sidewalk Remove and Replace Program. In the Annual Program,
sidewalk which is offset and constitutes a possible tripping hazard is saw cut, broken out, and
removed with new concrete being poured back at the grade of adjoining sidewalk. In the Sidewalk
Grinding Project, sidewalk which is offset one inch or less will be ground by a grinding machine to
match the adjoining grade. A larger number of sidewalk offsets can be corrected this way at a lower
cost than removal.
Extensive offsets and those caused by tree roots are being corrected by removal and replacement and
root pruning. However, correction of other offsets under one inch can be done by this more cost-
effective grinding method. Staff estimates that approximately 400 possible tripping hazards can be
corrected this year with the Grinding Project.
The amount budgeted for design/survey/inspection includes both sidewalk programs. Staff
recommends that the City Council authorize Staff to advertise for bids.
