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. Charles E.
