Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: BACKGROUND Staff employs a three-part approach to the repair and maintenance of the approximately 9 million square feet of sidewalk within Pleasanton. The primary method of repair is through the Annual Sidewalk Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Within the CIP, relatively large areas and quantities are designated for replacement in one project that is put out to bid once a year. The CIP Sidewalk Project is made up of identified problems from the previous year and also addresses curb, gutter and sidewalk repairs that need attention prior to pending street resurfacing projects. The second method is through the use of City staff in the Streets Division of the Public Works Department. City staff work throughout the year on safety issues and customer services items that do not fit within the Annual CIP Sidewalk Project. The third method is through the use of "As Needed" contracts. These contracts provide coverage when the previous two methods cannot accomplish the task in a timely fashion, or if specialized expertise is needed as in the case of soundwalls. The City of Pleasanton's population is approaching 70,000 within approximately 22 square miles. Within the City boundaries are: . Approximately 192 miles of streets and adjoining sidewalks . Numerous sound walls within the City's right-of-way . Over 60,000 square feet of brick paving stones in the Downtown area. Staff conducted an extensive outreach effort to insure that Pleasanton vendors were given the notice and opportunity to submit bids (see Invitation to Bid - Attachment I). The City advertised the request for bids in the Tri-Valley Herald newspaper on November 6th and 13'\ 2005 (legal ad #583076) and additionally sent out bid packages to a total of ten interested vendors. The City Clerk received only one qualified submittal from George Bianchi Construction, Inc. by the bid closing date. George Bianchi Construction, Inc. was selected as the only bidder and is adequately qualified to perform concrete repair services. Additionally, George Bianchi Construction, Inc., has successfully performed numerous capital improvement work for the City including curb, gutter and sidewalk repairs and annual Main Street sidewalk cleaning services. The following outline provides a scope of work for the City's expectations regarding routine and scheduled sidewalk, curb and gutter and miscellaneous soundwall repairs on City right of ways: . Removal and replacement of sidewalk per square foot, to include root cutting or grinding if necessary. SR 06:047 Page 2 of 3
