BACKGROUND <br />In June 2020, the City received a request from the Pleasanton Downtown Association to <br />close a portion of Main Street to provide outdoor dining in support of downtown <br />restaurants and merchants. The City designed a traffic control plan and began <br />implementing the closures on Friday, June 19. Statewide Traffic Safety & Signs, Inc. <br />was the selected contractor due to the availability of equipment, necessary traffic <br />devices, and their ability to meet the project schedule. <br />The contractor performed street closures weekly from Friday afternoons to Sunday <br />evenings, from June 19 to August 30. The street closure program was extended through <br />November 1, 2020. The Pleasanton Downtown Association reported that 29 businesses <br />participate in the weekly street closures. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The cost for street closures for FY 2019/20 totaled $10,045. Based on actual costs for <br />FY 2019/20, staff is estimating that $125,200 is needed for street closures for FY <br />2020/21 through November 1, 2020. In addition, staff is requesting an additional <br />$40,000 for potential street closures in the Spring/early Summer of 2021 for a total of <br />$165,200 along with a 15% contingency ($24,800). The total amount needed for FY <br />2020/21 including contingency is $190,000 and requires City Council approval per the <br />City's Purchasing Policy. <br />Submitted by: <br />Kathleen Yurchak <br />Director of Operations and <br />Water Utilities <br />Fiscal Review: <br />Tina Olson <br />Director of Finance <br />Approved by: <br />Nelson Fialho <br />City Manager <br />Attachments: <br />1.
