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. Project Estimate: Planned Bid Opening Date $99,900 y March 1, 1996 J �1 T Jac L.
