BACKGROUND The Sidewalk Replacement project is an annual City program. The City's Streets Division identifies sidewalk areas that are potential tripping hazards. The City of Pleasanton's Engineering Division considers safety improvement, priority, proximity to other locations requiring work, scheduling of other street projects, and available budget when prioritizing locations to be improved each year. If there are missing or non- functional ramps adjacent to the sidewalk repair locations, the City installs Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps. Damaged curb and gutter are also replaced adjacent to the sidewalk repair area for better drainage flow. This project consisted of removing and replacing 5,050 SF of sidewalk that presented potential tripping hazards and 206 LF of curb and gutter that had cracks and drainage problems, as well as installation of 33 new intersection ramps for ADA accessibility. Additionally 2,000 SF of sidewalk was installed on West Las Positas Boulevard to close a sidewalk gap to Foothill High school. Additional work was added near the Union Pacific Railroad crossing at West Angela Street after the railroad company replaced the rail crossing at this intersection. On September 3, 2013, Pleasanton's City Council awarded the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Rosas Brothers Construction, in the amount of $146,430. Council authorized the Director of Community Development to approve change orders up to the project contingency amount of $22,000. The project has since been completed and is ready for acceptance. Budget Funding for the project was provided in the Annual Sidewalk Replacement project, CIP 125012. Change orders totaling $21,317.50 were due to additional curb and gutter replacement requests from the Streets Division, an additional ramp installed at Peters and Division Street that was requested by the Traffic Division, and the installation of a hand rail near Stoneridge Drive for pedestrian safety. Additionally, an engineering survey ($2,345) to prepare for design of improvements at Hopyard Road/Golden Road was charged to this project as the construction of the improvements was originally intended to be completed with the next Annual Sidewalk Replacement project. Since that time it has been determined that the scope/cost of the Hopyard Road/Golden Road improvements will necessitate a separate project. The total spent, including the survey work, exceeds the approved annual project amount by $1,737, but is within the available funded amount in CIP No. 125012. The balance remaining in CIP No. 125012 is $19,599, which staff recommends returned to the Streets CIP fund balance. A summary of the project's funding sources and expenditures is presented in Attachment 1. Page 2 of 3
