AGENDA TITLE: Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for City Hall Entry/Plaza Project
MEETING DATE: February 7, 1996
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the above
project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project is necessary to provide handicapped accessibility to the
front of City Hall, as required by the Uniform Building Code and the
Americans with Disabilities Act. The work under this project
includes providing new entry ramps, replacement of existing front
stairs, new metal handrails at the front and west entrances, and new landscaping and irrigation systems
all around City Hall. Attached is a front view of the Plaza Project.
The architects estimate for this construction is $99,900. This amount includes the anticipated change
orders. The last estimate presented to the Council, March 1995, estimated the construction cost of the
entry plaza and handicap ramps at $90,000. The increase in the project cost is due to additional
landscaping on the west and north sides of City Hall being added to the scope of work.
It is important that the Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for this project so the completion of this work can be coordinated with the conclusion of the
City Hall remodel.
FUNDING: The money for this project will be coming from the Community Development Block Grant
Fund, as recommended to the Council earlier. A request for appropriation of funds will be
made at contract award.
