BACKGROUND INFORMATION: ln 1998, the City's CentralCity Revitalization lmprovement Project installed yellow colored concrete on School Street, from Lodi Avenue to Locust Street. As part of the maintenance, the colored concrete needs to be cleaned periodically. Council has directed Staff to have this service performed on an annual basis. This project removed debris and pressure washed the yellow concrete bands, and spot cleaned the paver areas along School Street, between Lodi Avenue and Locust Street. The project also included the large concrete "sun" feature located in Elm Street, between School Street and Sacramento Street. The work was done at night in order to minimize business interruptions. The project was awarded to Sure Clean, lnc., of Cool, in the amount of $21,495. The contract has been completed in substantialconformance with the specifications approved by City Council and was completed within the original contract amount and schedule. Photos of completed work are shown in Exhibit A. lt's also worth noting that due to the age of the concrete, it often appears dirty even though it is clean. This is due to the top layer of the concrete being worn off and the small rocks that are inside of the concrete mix being visible. A photo of new and old concrete is included for comparison, also shown in Exhibit A. Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineer will file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors that the project is complete and begins their 30-day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no long-term fiscal impact associated with this project. FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by the Street Fund (30099000.77020) Charles E.
