DISCUSSION
Background
Beginning with the 15-17 Financial Plan, the City Council has reviewed and approved a new
Annual Asset Maintenance project called ‘Parks Major Maintenance’. This new program has
enabled the City to identify and repair deteriorating structures in citywide parks. The pedestrian
bridges in Meadow Park were one of several specific projects identified in this Capital
Improvement Project.
The two pedestrian bridges at Meadow Park were identified in the 2015-17 Financial Plan as
deteriorating and in need of replacement. One of the pedestrian bridges links the parking lot to
the community building and playground, and the other bridge connects the pathway from King
Street to Corrida Avenue. Both bridges can no longer be properly repaired and are in need of full
replacement.
During design it was identified that a PG&E electrical line was attached to the underside of the
bridge at King Street. Due to the specific nature of the work required to relocate the PG&E line,
a separate project was created to bid this scope of work independently of the pedestrian bridge
project. This project is currently underway and will be completed in the first quarter of 2019.
The Bridge Replacement project will follow the PG&E line relocation work and will install two
new prefabricated and slightly longer bridges in the same locations as the existing bridges. The
bridges are specified to be weathered steel with a concrete deck that will comply with current
accessibility requirements.
