RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency, at their meeting of September 7,
1982, direct staff to provide a smoothly graded section within the dirt area for
pedestrian access along E1Camino Real and Main St. as described in the alternate
below:
BACKGROUND:
At the last Redevelopment Agency meeting, a concern regarding the lack of
temporary sidewalks was raised by the Agency. Staff was requested to review the
concern and respond back to the Agency.
DISCUSSION:
The only type of temporary sidewalk that staff feels would be practical during the
construction of E1Camino Real and Main St. would be a portable plywood-type of
sidewalk that could be re-used/relocated through each phase of the project.
As indicated in the attached memo, the preliminary estimated cost for this type of
facility is $30,000.00. This type of temporary facility would have to be removed
periodically as indicated in the example in the attached memo.
An alternate to this temporary facility would be to provide an area longitudinal
to the street approximately four feet wide and adjacent to the property line for
pedestrian access. This area would be disrupted at times during the course of
construction, but should provide a relatively safe access for pedestrians during
the majority of the construction time.

PROVISION FOR TEMPORARY SIDEWALK
I received a tentative cost from the contractor for providing a temporary
longitudinal plywood sidewalk of $20.00 per lineal foot. Approximately 1500 L.F.
would be required for each construction phase for a total cost of approximately
$30,000.00. There are approximately three more construction phases which would
require this sidewalk and the contractor estimates an additional week for each
phase for placing and/or moving this sidewalk, which would delay the completion
date to about Dec. 17, 1982 (plus any rain days which may occur).
The temporary sidewalk could only be left in place for a very short period, since
after the curb is poured most of it would have to be removed to allow for work as
follows:
(1) Installation of longitudinal landscape conduits.
(2) Installation of footings for benches, kiosks, and other hardscape items.
(3) Preparation of subgrade for concrete sidewalk pour.
For example, in the current construction phase, work began on removals Aug. 2,
1982. Following would have been the sequence of events in providing a temporary
sidewalk:
(1) Begin removals - Aug. 2, 1982
(2) Complete removals - Aug. 13, 1982
(3) Begin placing temporary sidewalk - Aug. 13, 1982
(4) Complete placing temporary sidewalk - Aug. 18, 1982
(5) Complete pouring of curb & gutter - Aug. 20, 1982
(6) Begin work on items behind curb requiring removal of temporary sidewalk
to facilitate construction - Aug. 23, 1982
