FISCAL IMPACT
The En=zneer s construction contract estimate is $172.000.00 and the City's Public Works
DepartmendEngineering DMsion Operating Budget (Account No. 01-402-6235) provides $235,000.00 to cover all
of the costs associated with this annual project. This work is pan of the City's on-going Maintenance of Effort
requirements for compliance with Measure M.
BACKGROUND
This project will provide for removal and replacement of concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter and drive aprons to
correct tripping hazards at approximately 175 locations throughout the City.
Some of the areas slated for sidewalk replacement have been replaced at least once during the last 5 years.
Areas where sidewalk replacement has been necessary every few years is attributed to roots of adjacent
parkway trees uplifting the sidewalk. With the aid of a consultant Arborist, the Engineering Division has
conducted a survey and analysis of 58 locations where tree roots are causing sidewalk damage. The analysis
entitled "Tree Removal and Replacement Recommendations" concludes that 31 existing street trees are no
longer appropriate for the width of the parkw,'ay or tree well they lie within. These trees will continue to cause
damage in the future to the adjacent sidewalk and/or curb and gutter, resulting in recurring sidewalk
replacement costs, and are to be removed with the F.Y. 1999-2000 project.

To maintain aesthetic quality of landscaping and streetscapes, tree removals will be phased over a period of years
on streets that have multiple problem trees. Except in areas where there is a distinct obstacle nearby (such as a
catch basin, street light, fire hydrant, etc.), problem trees will be replaced either in kind or with a species more
suitable to the parkway area available.
The City's Tree Maintenance contractor will perform the tree removals and replacements as managed by the Field
Services DMsion. The cost for tree removals and replacements will be funded by the Annual Sidewalk and Curb
& Gutter Repair Project.
City staff has met with a representative from the Audit Committee and discussed the tree removal and replacement
process.
The tentative scl~edule for this project is as follows:
