AGENDA REPORT 9 B
DATE: February 23, 2004
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Douglas A. Dancs, P.E., Director of Public Works /City Engineer
SUBJECT: BUDGET AMENDMENT AND APPROVAL OF PLANS
AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR ANNUAL CONCRETE
REHABILITATION PROGRAM FY 2003/2004,
PROJECT No. 50178
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will approve budget amendment 04 -22 increasing the
funds budgeted for the Annual Concrete Rehabilitation Program, plans and specifications,
and authorize Staff to initiate the bidding process for the Annual Concrete Rehabilitation
Program, Project No. 50178.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed project will rehabilitate approximately 1500 linear feet of curb and gutter
in the 200 and 300 block of Main Street. This program replaces portions of deteriorated
concrete along the roadway, improving the drainage and standing water along the curb
line. It will also update curb access ramps in an effort to reduce the backlog of concrete
repairs. The Department's Tree Preservation Program will continue to replace sidewalk
in front of existing trees pavers. The Department chose this area because of its high
pedestrian traffic which will reduce potential situations for pedestrians. In addition to the
high pedestrian traffic areas being corrected, the maintenance division will make repairs
to other areas in the City on an ongoing basis. Currently there is a several million - dollar
backlog of concrete repairs in the City as adopted in the Council adopted five -year
Capital Improvement Program.
In an effort to preserve the Ficus trees on Main St., the Department has initiated an "in-
house" Tree Preservation Program with the use of brick pavers. Crews remove the
uplifted sidewalk adjacent to the tree, prune the roots and replace the section with brick
pavers. The Public Works Department has nearly met its goal to have brick pavers
around all existing trees along Main Street. This project also will prune roots along the
gutters and will nearly complete all the concrete repairs along Main Street. This new
curb and gutter will set the stage for future street rehabilitation maintenance and work

such as slurry seal and overlays. Additionally, this will eliminate ponding water which
cause potholes and potential pedestrian access problems along the curb.
In -house staff completed the plans and specifications. Upon the successful bidding
process and award of a contract, the project should be completed around the end of the
fiscal year in June. During construction half -block sections of parking will be closed for
up to 5 days for construction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City originally budgeted $50,000 for fiscal year 2003/04 for the Annual Concrete
Rehabilitation Program, Project No. 50178 from State Gas Tax. An increase in
expenditures for Project No. 50178 $45,000 is proposed. The increase in expenditures
has no General fund impact. Rather, $45,000 will be funded from the 1996 Countywide
Revenue Bond proceeds that were identified for and used for the Main Street Specific
Plan Project. Any remaining funds would be reprogrammed for next year's street
program as approved by City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve budget amendment 04 -22, the plans and
specifications, and authorize Staff to initiate the bidding process for the Annual Concrete
Rehabilitation Program, Project No. 50178.
