Walter, Director of Public Works BL Manny Guzman, Engineer II SUBJECT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) CURB RAMP 2011, SPECIFICATION NUMBER 90902 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Approve plans and specifications for the CDBG Curb Ramp 2011 Project, Specification No. 90902. 2. Authorize staff to advertise for bids and authorize the City Manager to award the contract if the lowest responsible bid is within the Engineer's Estimate of$253,000. DISCUSSION This project is part of an ongoing program to construct sidewalk ramps throughout the City and is partially funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The ramps, in addition to providing access, are part of the City's effort to implement the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and as such they meet one of the basic criteria of CDBG funding — to provide access to the disabled. In coordination with the City's pavement management plan (PMP), sidewalk, drainage and ramp construction has been designed for Area 4. Curb ramps included in this project will be installed prior to paving and slung sealing programs which will start later this year in this area. A total of 41 existing street corners in Area 4 will be retrofitted with new curb ramps or truncated domes to meet current ADA standards. 35 curb ramps will be constructed at corners where curb ramps do not currently exist, to provide accessibility and meet ADA requirements. Two corners, where existing sidewalks are flush with the pavement (street surface) or where the existing ramp meets current ADA requirements with the exception of the lack of Detectable Warning Material (truncated domes), will have the truncated domes installed. Four corners where the existing ramps do not meet current ADA requirements will have the existing ramps removed and new ramps will be installed. The Attachment shows the locations throughout Area 4 where work will be completed as part of this project.
