Authorize Staff to advertise for bids FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Sidewalk Safety Proqram Design/Survey/Inspection Construction (Ail General Fund Monies TOTAL Budqet Total Sidewalk Repair $ 10,000 40,000 $ 50,000 Swim Center Renovation Budget Swim Center Renovation Entrance Walk Replacement for ADA Pad for Bike Rack TOTAL $125,150 Estimated Costs $ 1,800 from CDBG funds 1,200 from Park Land Dedication Fees $ 3,000 DESCRIPTION: Funds are scheduled for the Annual Sidewalk Program for each year of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program. For Fiscal Year 1992-93, $50,000 has been budgeted from the General Fund. However, at the City Council meeting of December 14, 1992, the City Council agreed that this project should be deferred until 1992-93 revenue projections could be updated after the March Sales Tax Report was received. In order to be in a position to accomplish this work in 1992-93, if there are available revenues, this project needs to be advertised for bid at this time. Staff anticipates making a report to the City Council on 1992-93 projected revenues at its April 12, 1993, meeting. If the revenue picture deteriorates, the City could either reject all bids for sidewalk repair at that meeting, or award the bids but adopt a policy requiring property owners to reimburse the City for the repairs or make the repairs themselves. The Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter Removal and Repair Project is estimated to cost $37,000, including engineering and inspection work. This contract will repair the larger offsets and necessary curb and gutter work. Staff anticipates using the remaining $13,000 of the Sidewalk Repair budget for a secondary repair program which will involve grinding smaller sidewalk offsets. This project was initiated last year and has proven to be effective in cost per location, and the number of locations corrected has therefore been able to be increased. As part of the Dublin Swim Center Renovation, it is proposed to install a handicap accessible walkway to the poolhouse entrance and a bicycle rack concrete pad with this sidewalk contract for the economies of scale and the dissimilarities of this work to the other pool remodeling work. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize Staff to advertise for bids. a:(93)~sidewalk~agstauth RESOLUTION NO. 39-93 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE REPAIR OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS DEEMED TO BE PEDESTRIAN HAZARDS WHEREAS, public improvements such as curbs, gutters, driveways, and sidewalks sometimes become damaged due to natural and man-made causes; and WHEREAS, these damaged improvements sometimes become tripping hazards to pedestrian traffic; and WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of safety to have these hazards eliminated; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin establishes a policy of the City of Dublin for Fiscal Year 1992-93 entitled "Annual Sidewalk Repair Program."
