WICK, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER F.Y. '79-'80 SIDEWALK REPAIR PROGRAM - AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS This project provides for the repair of sidewalks at various locations throughout the City which have been heaved up by parkway trees and which represent a definite tripping hazard and a liability to the City. Repairs are scheduled for 112 loca- tions and were compiled from a list furnished to us by the Maintenance Department. A field survey was made of all the locations on the Maintenance Department list, and many locations that were observed during this survey were added if it was felt they constituted a definite tripping hazard. Due to financing limitations, a judgement factor was utilized and some locations were passed over since it was felt the sidewalk displacement was not serious enough at this time to warrant repair. Admittedly, there are probably many locations throughout the City which need repair. To adequately pinpoint these locations will require a walking survey of our esti- mated 120 miles of sidewalk in the City. As new locations come to light, we are keeping a record of these and they will be added to the project if funds are avail- able. The City Council at its meeting of February 4, 1980, appropriated additional funds for this project and there is presently $45,000.00 budgeted for this work. The Engineer's estimate for the repair locations included in this project is $45,500.00. Depending on the bid results, it is our intention to add or delete work to stay within the budgeted amount. The attached Resolution is for the City Council's approval of plans and specifica- tions for the construction of F.Y. '79-'80 Sidewalk Repair Program and directing the City Clerk to advertise for bids. The following is a tentative schedule for the project: City Council Authorization to Advertise for Bids .....
