ITEMNO.~ The pedestrian curb ramp replacement at the Dublin Sports Ground was ineluded with this Contract as a cost-savings measure and is sufficiently funded through the City's Capital Improvcmcnt Program Project No. 95830, Dublin Sports Ground Renovations. DESCRIPTION: The Annual Sidewalk Safety Repair Program (Remove and Rcplace) repairs sidewalk offsets of 3/4-inch or more that may pose a tripping hazard. This procedure requires removal of the existing sidewalk, and in the case of root problems, removal of the tree roots, and then replaccment of the concrete sidewalk. While the maintenance of sidewalks and othcr frontagc improvements is legally the responsibility of the privatc propcrty owner, the City Council has adopted a City-paid sidewalk repair program on a year-by- year basis since 1983. Additional sidewalk repairs were pcrformcd as part of this project to take advantage of a $ 5,000 grant which was available to the City from ABAG for eliminating tripping hazards on sidcwalks. The Rubberized Sidewalk Pilot Project uses modular rubber paver tiles, made with recyeled California tirc rubber. These tiles are easily installed and are instantly ready for pedestrian traffic. In addition, rubber sidewalks allow for long term, low-cost maintenance since root growth can be trimmed periodically without damagc to cithcr trccs or sidcwalk. This is a cost cffective way for the City to tcst thc durability and longcvity of the product for potential widespread use, and allows Staff to utilizc and tcst a Grcen Building measure at no risk to the City. This year's rubberizcd sidcwalk projcct, the second year of the Pilot Program, was installcd along thc cast sidc ofVillagc Parkway in front of Dublin High School. Staff has reviewed the work performcd undcr this contract and has determined that the work is complctc. Staff recommends that the City Council 1) accept Gcncral Fund Reimbursements in the amount of$5,000 from an ABAG Grant; 2) approve a budget change in the amount of $ 3,755; and 3) accept the improvements under Contract No. 05-01, 2004-2005 Annual Sidewalk Safety Repair Program, and authorize the release of retention after 35 days ifthcrc arc no subcontractor claims. ,.
