AGENDA TITLE: Approve Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for 2013-2015
Sidewalk Grinding Program
MEETING DATE: April 17, 2013
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for
2013-2015 Sidewalk Grinding Program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project will provide the City with a unit -price bid for grinding the
uneven sidewalk at various locations throughout the City that
currently present tripping hazards. This contract will allow the City to
implement the project for Fiscal Years 2013/14 and 2014/15. Previously, this work was performed by
City forces but workforce reductions require this to be outsourced. It has been several years since City
forces have performed this work and a significant number of tripping hazards exist, increasing the City's
liability exposure in case of accident. Purchase orders will be issued for the work to be performed.
Provisions in the specifications allow the City to extend the contract if mutually agreed upon by City staff
and the contractor.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is
May 15, 2013. The total project estimate is $300,000 ($150,000 annually).
FISCAL IMPACT: This contract will reduce the risk of liability associated with potential claims
caused by tripping on uneven sidewalk.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at the time of project award.
