Procedures to mitigate these conditions include, offset <br />grinding, temporary asphalt ramping, and removal/replacement of damaged concrete areas. <br />On June 30, 2020, the City Manager authorized the award of a contract to EBS General <br />Engineering Services Inc. (EBS) for a concrete replacement project of various damaged sidewalks, <br />curbs, gutters, and driveway approaches. Prioritization of work is focused on areas with the highest <br />concentration of needed repairs, with the intent of providing a proportionate level of service in each <br />of the City's six Council wards. The most recent concrete work was completed in the Heninger <br />and French Park neighborhoods with upcoming projects slated for North Windsor Park, Windsor <br />Park, West Grove Valley, Thornton Park, Fairbridge Square, and Park Santiago neighborhoods <br />(Exhibit 1). <br />In order to deliver these additional sidewalk concrete improvements promptly, capitalize on the <br />existing favorable pricing of the existing contract with EBS (Project No. 20-6970), and assist the <br />City in meeting its annual Maintenance of Effort obligation, staff recommends increasing the <br />construction administration amount by $50,000 and project contingencies by $550,000 for a new <br />estimated project delivery cost of $850,470 (Exhibit 2). The $500,000 allocated to sidewalk <br />improvements during the budget process will be programmed to complete additional projects. <br />Following the completion of these improvements, a similar sidewalk replacement project will be <br />developed in accordance with the Public Works Agency, Maintenance Services Division, Omnibus <br />Concrete / Sidewalk Improvement Program, with a construction completion goal of Spring 2021 <br />(Exhibit 3). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Approval of the requested Appropriation Adjustment will carry forward Fiscal Year 2019-20 Special <br />Gas Tax funds in the amount of $275,000 in the Special Gas Tax, Prior Year Carry Forward <br />revenue account (No. 02917002-50001) and appropriate the same amount to the Special Gas Tax, <br />Contract Services -Professional expenditure account (No. 02917660-62300).
