Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION Renew the contract with Central Coast Surface Grinding, Inc. for sidewalk maintenance for a one-year period in an annual amount not to exceed $150,000. DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency is responsible for maintaining the sidewalks of Santa Ana. As such, staff evaluates the condition of the sidewalks and identifies uneven surfaces and cracks that require repair. Offset grinding is the preferred method to repair uneven surfaces caused by underlying tree roots that raise sidewalk areas, resulting in risks to pedestrian travel. During the previous contract term, at over 6,600 locations, 33,000 linear feet of sidewalk hazards were repaired using offset grinding. On January 4, 2011, the City Council awarded a contract to Central Coast Surface Grinding for a one year period with provisions for three, one-year renewals. Central Coast Surface Grinding has performed satisfactorily during the past contract period and has agreed to renew the contract without an increase in pricing. Staff recommends the first renewal of the contract. FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in the Public Works Roadway Maintenance account (no. 02917660 62300).
