AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for ADA
Improvement Project Phase 3 — Church Street Parking Lots
MEETING DATE: March 5, 2014
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids
for ADA Improvement Project Phase 3 — Church Street Parking Lots.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project consists of reconstructing two City parking lots located
at 10 and 30 South Church Street (32,000 square feet) with asphalt
concrete pavement, installation of handicap -accessible parking
stalls, replacing 19 trees, and other incidental and related work, all as shown on the plans and
specifications for the project. The improvements are shown on Exhibit A.
The existing parking lots are in poor condition, with un -even pavement and concrete walkways damaged
primarily by overgrown tree roots inside the parking area. The damage poses a tripping hazard for
pedestrians and impacts ADA access.
The existing trees consist of Raywood Ash, American Sweet Gum, and Honey Locust, all of which are
known for their surface root problems. Root surgery will only promote more root growth. Staff
recommends removing these trees and replacing them with Chinese Pistachio. Chinese Pistachio has a
large canopy and fewer surface root issues, making it suitable for parking lot planting. New drought -
tolerant plants will be planted in the landscape area to improve esthetics.
New energy-efficient LED lighting will be installed to provide improved security.
Three new ADA -compliant parking stalls will be constructed, in addition to repairing damaged sidewalk
on Church Street. The improvements, which will improve ADA access and reduce trip hazards, are
consistent with the City -Wide ADA Transition Plan (February 2011).
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The project will advertise for bid
after the NEPA environmental review is complete. The project estimate is $320,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed improvements will decrease maintenance and lighting costs,
and reduce the City's exposure to trip -and -fall claims.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: General Fund Capital and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funding will be used on this project. Funding amounts will be identified at
project award.
