CITY O F SAN LUIS O B I S P O
FROM: Jay D. Walter, Director of Public Works 9DW
Prepared By: Christine Cornejo, Engineering Technician
SUBJECT: CDBG CURB RAMP INSTALLATION AND MODIFICATION
Specification No.90833
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve Specifications for "CDBG Curb Ramp Installation and Modification, Specification
Number 90833".
2. Authorize staff to solicit bids and authorize the City Manager to award a contract if the
lowest responsible bid is less than or equal to the Engineer's Estimate of$505,087.
DISCUSSION
This project is part of an ongoing program to construct sidewalk ramps. These projects are paid
in part with Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG), as they meet one of the basic
criteria of CDBG funding — to provide access to disabled persons. The ramps, in addition to
providing or improving access, are part of the City's effort to implement the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). In accordance with the City's pavement management plan, sidewalk,
drainage and curb ramp construction has been designed for Areas 2 and 3. Curb ramps included
in this project will be installed prior to paving and slurry sealing programs which will start later
this year in Area 2.
47 curb ramps will be constructed at corners where curb ramps do not currently exist. 16 corners
that have existing ramps that do not meet current ADA requirements will have new replacement
curb ramps installed. 29 comers that have existing ramps that meet current ADA requirements
with the exception of the lack of truncated domes will have truncated domes installed. A total of
92 existing street comers in pavement management areas 2 and 3 will be retrofitted with new
curb ramps or truncated domes to meet ADA requirements.
Attachment 1 is a site plan of the various intersections throughout pavement areas 2 and 3 where
work will be completed as part of this project.
CONCURRENCES
Ten of the curb ramps included in this project reside within the 500-year flood zone and as such
are subject to NEPA (National Environmental Protection Act) flood zone review which lengthens
the typical NEPA review timeline. This project is now in the process of obtaining environmental
clearances from the Community Development Department and the 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 January 25, 2009.
Staff recommends proceeding as quickly as possible with the project in order to complete the
curb ramp construction prior to paving in Area 2. 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 2007-09 Financial Plan, pages 3-260 to 3-262 with $500,000
budgeted for the 2008-09 fiscal year. The master account for Sidewalk Accessibility
Improvements (99868) currently has a balance of$555,600 of CDBG curb ramp funding carried
over from previous years. This funding can be made available to support the CDBG Curb Ramp
Installation and Modification project request. A Budget Amendment Request will be processed
to transfer the appropriate project funding from the Master Account at the time of contract award.
