These include over 300 miles of residential, collector <br />and industrial streets, a significant portion of which were built in the <br />1950' s. The City's Pavement Management System identifies the City's <br />pavement condition and rates the average condition of our local streets as <br />poor. <br /> <br />The City historically has lacked a reliable and consistent funding source <br />to rehabilitate residential streets. To that end, City staff proposes to <br />study options available to bond or generate additional revenues dedicated <br />to our neighborhood streets. <br /> <br />City staff has solicited proposals for engineering services. These <br />services are to fully examine the City's Pavement Management System to <br />determine actual costs needed for pavement rehabilitation and repair of <br />sidewalks, ramps, curbs and gutters. These services will include a <br />feasibility study on the City's options for funding these improvements. <br /> <br />Qualified firms were contacted and four firms submitted proposals. A <br />committee comprised of city staff from the City Manager's Office, Public <br />Works, Finance and Management Services, and the City Attorney's Office <br /> <br />25C-1 <br />
