(Annual Sidewalk Repair)
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 will continue to
be corrected by removal and replacement and root pruning. However,
correction of other offsets under one inch can be done annually by the
more cost effective grinding method. Staff estimates that over 300
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.
