DISCUSSION
This project is part of an ongoing program to construct sidewalk ramps. These projects are paid
with Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG), as they meet one of the basic criteria
of CDBG funding to provide access to the disabled and as such are eligible for funding in all
areas of the City. The ramps provide improved accessibility for people in the community and
help implement the Americans with Disabilities Act. In accordance with the City's pavement
management plan, sidewalk, drainage and ramp construction has been designed for Area 8. Curb
ramps included in this project will be installed prior to paving and slurry sealing programs which
will start later this year.
Eighteen (18) curb ramps will be constructed at comers in Area 8 where no ramp currently exists,
to provide accessibility and meet ADA requirements.
Sixteen (16) curb ramps will be constructed at corners as a result of specific requests from
disabled citizens. Public Works has received numerous requests from the public requesting curb
ramps, after evaluation of the requested ramp locations; sixteen have been included in this
project. These ramps are located at various intersections throughout San Luis Obispo as shown
on Attachment 1.
Eleven (11) existing comers located in the Downtown area, where sidewalks are flush with the
pavement (street surface) are to be retrofitted with Detectable Warning Material (truncated
domes) to meet current ADA requirements.
A total of forty-three (43) existing street corners will be retrofitted with forty-five (45) curb
ramps to meet ADA requirements. Attachment 1 provides a site plan of the areas of work.

CONCURRENCES
CDBG curb ramps 1 thru 11 reside within the 100 year flood zone and as such are subject to
NEPA (National Environmental Protection Act) flood zone review which takes longer than the
typical NEPA review. This project is now in the process of obtaining environmental clearances
from the Community Development Department and County Environmental Coordinator who
oversees the CDBG program. NEPA guidelines allow for the project to advertise and bid prior
to full NEPA clearance; however the project will not be awarded until environmental clearances
are obtained. The expected date for clearance is May 1, 2005.
Staff wishes to proceed as quickly as possible with the project in order to complete the ramp
construction prior to paving. For this reason staff is recommending advertising now and delaying
award, if necessary, for the NEPA clearance.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is included in the 2003-2005 Financial Plan with $80,000 budgeted. Additional
CDBG funds have been carried over from previous years in the amount of$111,000 for a total of
$191,000 available for this project.
Engineer's Estimate: $173,800. Total Budget: $191,000
Contingencies: 17,380
Total $1759538. Total Available: $191,000
