AGENDA TITLE: Approve Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for 2020 Grape Bowl
Handrail Improvement Project
MEETING DATE: December 2, 2020
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for
2020 Grape Bowl Handrail Improvement Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATIONS Over the past 20 years, the City has made many improvements to
the Grape Bowl to make it safer and more accessible. The existing
bleachers were installed over 40 years ago.
The aging bleacher steps are beginning to bow and wobble making them a potential hazard. In order to
increase stability, the project will include a brace that runs underneath the steps. In addition, a mid -aisle
railing will be installed to enhance the safety of the steps and comply with current building code
requirements. The improvement locations are shown on Exhibit A.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is January
6, 2021. The project estimate is $80,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be a slight increase in the long-term maintenance costs
associated with these improvements, while reducing the City's exposure to
fall related litigation.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award.
