ensuring uninterrupted wastewater flow,
and minimizing the potential for related
health hazards to the public. The total
construction cost was $480,500.
3. Waterline Replacement 2016 (June 2019). This project replaced approximately 5,300 lineal
feet of waterline on Pacific, Boysen, Chorro and Sierra streets. The waterlines replaced
with this project are substandard and deteriorated. Their replacement eliminated capacity
limitations and improved water flow for fire protection as well as resulted in lower costs to
the City and reduced customer impacts associated with emergency repairs. The project also
replaced 284 lineal feet of CMP and upgrade four catch basins to the current City-standard.
This work was necessary to facilitate the stability and safety of trenching for the waterline
replacements. The total construction cost was $1.88 Million.

maintenance and emergency repairs,
ensuring uninterrupted wastewater flow,
and minimizing the potential for related
health hazards to the public. The Total
Construction cost was $198,000
6. 54 Highland Drive (May 2019). On September 28, 2018, a fire hydrant failed, saturating
the ground at 54 Highland Drive and causing a slope failure. The project restored the failed
slope and replaced 42 lineal feet of failing storm drain corrugated metal pipes (CMP)
covered in soil due to the slope failure. Total cost of construction was $178,000.
7. South Broad Street Improvements (September 2019). This project rehabilitated South
Broad Street between Tank Farm Road and the City Limit, just north of Farmhouse Lane.
Rehabilitation required removal of the old deteriorated and failing asphalt and replacement
with a new asphalt section
structurally sufficient for
the traffic loading
conditions. This method of
reconstruction was
determined to be the most
cost effective, with an
expected service life of 15-
20 years. Total cost of
construction was $1.84
Million
8. El Capitan Bridge Replacement (December 2019). El Capitan Bridge connects pedestrian
pathways from El Capitan Way to Poinsettia Drive near French Park. The original wooden
bridge was constructed in conjunction with the adjacent housing development in the late
90’s and was to be owned and maintained
by adjacent property owners. In January
2015, the wooden bridge was destroyed
when a large eucalyptus tree fell onto it.
Subsequently, the City took ownership of
this important bridge connection and
funded design and construction of it its
replacement. The new pedestrian bridge–
which is 33-feet long–is made of steel
with wood decking and entered service in
December 2019. Total replacement cost
was $96,000.
9. Mission Plaza Railing Upgrade (February 2020). This project replaced approximately 39’
lineal feet of existing railing in Mission Plaza along San Luis Obispo Creek behind the
amphitheater. The existing railing had openings greater than the current ADA standards
for safety. This project is part of an ongoing program to replace railing within the Mission
Plaza that does not meet ADA standards and Building Codes as well as ensures safety for
the community. Total replacement cost was $20,000.
10. Foothill Pipe Burst Project. This project consisted of pipe bursting an existing 6” clay pipe
sewer main and replace with 8” HDPE pipe from Foothill to Rougeot Place. Three sewer
laterals were reconnected to the main and 26 Chorro property’s sewer lateral was relocated
to the sewer main off Chorro Street. A 6” VCP sewer pipe was abandoned at Foothill. The
total project construction cost was $252,000.
11. Fire Station 3 Painting (September 2019). This project consisted of the ten-year
maintenance painting of the Fire Station 3 exterior walls. All exterior surfaces were
thoroughly cleaned and prepped for new paint in their original colors, including the
flagpole. All facades, windows and other
appurtenances around the Fire Station
were cleaned as well. Total painting cost
was $9,300.
12. City Hall Painting (September 2019).
This project consisted of the ten-year
maintenance painting of the City Hall
exterior walls, and the sealing of the
masonry components of the exterior
walls and walkways. All exterior
surfaces were thoroughly cleaned and
prepped for new paint in their original
colors, including the first-floor window
wells. The masonry panels and stairway
features were cleaned and sealed with a
clear water-resistant coating. All tile
facades, windows and other
appurtenances around City Hall were
cleaned as well. The total painting cost was $39,000.
13. Higuera Sidewalk Repair (May 2020). A deteriorated
section of sidewalk with basement space below that was
starting to fail was replaced with new Mission-Style
sidewalk along with a structural steel beam and pan
decking reinforcement system to support the sidewalk

Before Construction
After Construction
18. South Hills Radio Site Upgrades (October 2020). The City’s primary radio site is located
in a City leased space at the top of South Hills. This site was constructed in the 1980’s, has
served the City well over the past 30 plus
years, but is now failing. This equipment
provides day to day public safety radio
communications. The South Hills site as well
as the additional radio sites at Fire Stations 2
and 3, and the 919 Palm Parking Structure
make up the City’s communication network.
This project consisted of the removal and
replacement of the existing radio shelter,
generator, and antenna poles. The project
included a new prefabricated structure to
enclose and protect the existing radio and
network equipment. A new generator was
installed to power the facility in case of an
emergency or loss of power. Lastly, a new
100’ radio tower was built to boost signal
reception and transmission at the site. The
total construction cost was $870,000.
19. Islay Hill Park Playground Equipment

the approach to the King Street Bridge. The total construction cost was $234,000.
Installation of King Street Bridge
Post Construction
23. Wash Water Tank No. 2 Rehabilitation (December 2019). Water storage is provided in 11
tanks and two reservoirs located throughout the City. The tanks range in size from 40,000
to 7.5 million gallons. Regular maintenance of water storage tanks provides an ongoing
benefit to the economy, environment, and public health. The effects of corrosion on steel
tanks can lead to structural failure,
leaks, and water contamination
which can affect the health of its
users. Through interior and exterior
inspection, the Wash Water Tank
No. 2 at the Water Treatment Plant
was determined to be a high priority
because of coating deficiencies. The
project consisted of an interior and
exterior rehabilitation to the tank
and some added safety features. The
total project cost was $159,000.
24. Bridge Deck Sealing 2020 (July 2020). Three bridges in the City were experiencing
deterioration in their concrete decks: Nipomo Street at Monterey, South Broad Street at
Fuller, and Fuller Street at South Broad. To prevent further water intrusion and prolong the
bridge deck life, the City applied a Methacrylate sealant to each bridge deck. The total
project cost was $75,000.
25. City Hall Fire Line Replacement (October 2020). City Hall lacked a double check water
valve for use during fire water flows. This project removed the existing fire department
connection and pressure indicator valve and then replaced it with a double check water
valve. The total construction cost was $60,000.

Post-Construction
26. Parking Structure LED Retrofit, 842 Palm and 919 Palm (September and November 2020).
The Parking Structures at 842 and 919 Palm Street utilized traditional high-pressure
sodium (HPS) lighting throughout the structures since the original construction of both
parking structures. To implement the Climate Action Major City Goal and achieve cost
savings as outlined in the City’s Fiscal Health Response Plan, the City retrofitted the
existing lighting fixtures with energy efficient LED lighting, saving the City approximately
$30,000 in lighting costs per year.
Pre-Construction
Post-Construction
27. Mission Plaza Cameras 2019 (February 2020). The Mission Plaza is a popular attraction
for both tourists and residents. The Police Department requested the that two security
cameras be installed in the plaza to aid in monitoring areas prone to unlawful activity. The
locations proposed in the project were determined in order to help eliminate “blind spots”
that had previously exist on the plaza. The project consisted of the installation of two 20’
poles for the security cameras to be mounted on along with the electrical conduit required
to power the cameras. The total project costs were $37,000.
28. Silt Removal 2020 (September 2020). Silt carried by storm water settles at points in the
creek where storm water flow velocity decreases. This reduction in velocity allows solids
suspended in the water to settle out. As these deposits build up, the capacity of the creek
decreases and risk of flooding of the surrounding areas increases. The regular removal of
built up silt increases channel capacity and removes the conditions conductive for blocking
flow. The 2020 silt removal project included two sites: the Prefumo Creek at LOVR and
the Prefumo Creek approximately 700 ft downstream from the Laguna Lake outfall at
Madonna Rd. In total approximately 1510 cubic yards of silt were removed. The total
project cost was $69,000.
Pre-Construction Post-Construction
29. Bullock Lane CMP Replacement (November 2020). A tributary to Acacia Creek passes
underneath Bullock Lane via a culvert which coveys flow underneath the road. The original
culvert was constructed of corrugated metal pipe (CMP), and although no record drawings
of the culvert were found in City files, it is estimated to be at least 50 years old. The city
became aware that the CMP and supporting headwalls were beginning to fail
approximately ten years ago and in 2012 public works began investigating potential
replacement options. During the 2018-19 and 2019-20 rain season the deterioration of the
culvert and headwalls was found to be accelerating suggesting failure was imminent. In
response Public Works prioritized the work to be completed prior to the start of the 2020
rainy season. The total construction cost was $318,000.
Pre-Construction Post-Construction
Capital Improvement Projects that are ongoing in the construction phase:
1. Marsh Street Bridge Replacement: The Marsh Street Bridge, located near the intersection
of Marsh and Santa Rosa Streets, was approved by the City Council in January 2013 for
removal and replacement. This
followed a determination by the
California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) that the
existing bridge, built in 1909, is
structurally deficient. An
assessment concluded that a
complete replacement of the
existing bridge was the most
prudent and cost-effective
alternative given the age of the
structure. The total construction
budget is $4.8 million with
completion expected January
2021.
2. Roadway Sealing: This project follows
the City Pavement Maintenance
Program, which calls for the re-
surfacing and re-striping of local streets
located in Pavement Areas 4 and 5.
Concurrent with this effort, staff also
incorporated Complete Street Elements
into streets undergoing rehabilitation,
including the creation of Neighborhood
Greenways and community approved
Neighborhood Traffic Management
activities. This project is expected to be
completed in December 2020 with a
budget of $1.8 million.
3. Swim Center Shower Repair: The existing water mixing valve in the Sinsheimer pool
shower system is aging and cannot properly regulate the outgoing water temperature. In
order to ensure delivery of water within the proper temperature range, the boiler
temperature has been reduced, resulting in accelerated wear and tear on the system. The
existing water mixing valve will be replaced with an electronic water control station that
allows the boilers and shower system to operate within the preferred temperature range.
This system should also deliver hot water to the shower users without the burst of cold
water the current system occasionally provides. The construction budget is $30,000 and
the work is expected to be completed in December 2020.
4. Railroad Safety Trail Taft to Pepper: The Railroad Safety Trail (RRST) has long been one
of the highest-priority multimodal transportation projects in the City of San Luis Obispo
(City)—a crosstown, dedicated facility for pedestrians and bicyclists connecting the
southern City limits north to California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly). Over the
past two decades, approximately 40 percent of the total four-mile trail has been completed
and existing portions of the trail are enjoyed by over 1,000 pedestrians and cyclists per day.
This project includes construction of the next segment of the RRST from Taft Street to
Pepper Street. It segment was included in the 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan
(Attachment A) and supports the current Major City Goal to improve Sustainable
Transportation in the City. The project is expected to be completed Spring 2021 with a
budget of $6 million.
5. Fire Station 1 HVAC: Fire Station 1, constructed in 1996, is the main campus for the Fire
Department’s four stations in the City. The main building houses the Fire Department
Administrative personnel and the shift firefighters, and the indoor space temperature is
conditioned by seven HVAC units. The seven HVAC units are the original mechanical
units since the fire station was built and now are approximately 24 years old. The units are
starting to show their age as in recent years there have been equipment breakdowns. This
project will replace those units. The construction budget for this project is $140,000 and
the work is expected to be completed in January 2021.
6. Wastewater Facility Upgrade: SLO Water Plus improves the WRRF’s ability to recover
resources traditionally classified as waste. The upgrade will improve the plant’s efficiency
while helping reduce our dependency on reservoir and groundwater supplies long into the
future. It will deliver significant long-term benefits to water quality, the environment,
resilience and
community education.
The project is expected
to be completed in
Spring 2023 with a
budget of $120 million.
7. Downtown Parklets: The COVID-19 pandemic has created a national, state, and local
public health emergency and unprecedented and pervasive economic impacts posing risk
to the wellbeing of the community. This is clearly evident in the City of San Luis Obispo,
as local businesses have been devastated economically by this event, especially restaurants,
hotels and retail establishments within the City’s Downtown Core - the economic and
cultural hub of the City. In support of local businesses, Council authorized the City
Manager to implement the Open SLO program. At peak parklet implementation, 40
temporary parklets were installed of which 30 semi-permanent parklets have replaced the
temporary installations. Staff are currently working to upgrade 7 temporary parklets and
install parklets for businesses still on the waiting list. To date, $300,000 has been budgeted
for Open SLO parklets implementation.
