j agenda Report ,®H� 6
CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
FROM: Michael D.McCluskey, Director of Public Works--
Prepared By: Gregory A. Walker, Streets Supervisor
SUBJECT: SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION PROJECT NO. 98-20
CAO RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve plans and specifications for "1998 Sidewalk Improvement Project: Various
Locations."
2. Authorize staff to advertise for bids and authorize the CAO to award the contract if the lowest
responsible bid is within the engineer's estimate.
DISCUSSION
On July 21, 1998 City Council authorized the CAO to approve plans and specifications to install
new sidewalks at 27 various locations in the City. Staff has prepared plans and specifications for
24 of those projects and is ready to bid those projects for construction. The remaining three
projects require engineering design and will be accomplished separately within this fiscal year.
L
In the course of preparing plans for the 24 projects, staff contacted each of the affecting
properties informing them of the City's intention to construct sidewalks. While most properties
indicated pleasure with the Council's decision, a few indicated the undesirability of sidewalk
construction regardless of who was funding the construction. Rather than proceed directly to the
CAO for authorization (per the 7/21/98 direction) staff felt that those citizens who wished to
protest the construction of sidewalks in front of their residence should be afforded the
opportunity to do so. Therefore tonight the Council will hear protests, if any, and determine if
the list of approved projects should be modified.
The City does not have any established appeal procedure for construction of facilities for the
public good in the public right-of-way and funded by public funds. Normally, any protests made
are made at the meeting approving the construction documents and thus tonight's meeting is the
appropriate venue for the Council to approve the project.
CONCURRENCES
Community Development Department has given this project a categorical exemption.
