The Annual Sidewalk Safety Repair Program (Remove and Replace) repairs sidewalk offsets of 3/4-inch
or more that may pose a tripping hazard. The Remove and Replace process is used in locations where the
offset is more significant or where tree roots are causing the offset. This procedure requires removal of
the existing sidewalk, and in the case of root problems, removal of the tree roots, and then replacement of
the concrete sidewalk.
While maintenance of sidewalks and other frontage improvements is legally the responsibility of the
private property owner, the City Council has adopted a City-paid sidewalk repair program on a year-by-
year basis since 1983. At the budget hearing for Fiscal Year 2007-2008, the City Council extended the
funding of the repair program for an additional year.
This year's Sidewalk Safety Repair Program includes the construction of approximately seventeen (17)
pedestrian curb ramps. The ramps were funded through a CDBG grant and the General Fund (001) as
identified in the ADA transition Plan (CIP 93917) and Sidewalk Safety Repair Program (CIP 94250).
Staff has reviewed the work performed under this contract and has determined that the work is complete.
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the improvements under Contract No. 08-02, 2007-2008
Annual Sidewalk Safety Repair Program and Curb Ramp Installation, and authorizes the release of
retention after 35 days ifthere are no subcontractor claims.
