DISCUSSION
The Curb / Gutter and Sidewalk Reconstruction Fiscal Year 2021-22 project is an annual project to repair damaged curb / gutter and sidewalks at various locations throughout the City. Staff determines the locations of replacement by a combination of resident requests, information from Public Works – Maintenance Services Division and staff observations. The City completes repairs in predominantly chronological order based on the request date and in coordination with other street rehabilitation CIP projects, as well as conflicting work from private utility companies.
This year’s project covers 109 separate locations. After completion, the City will have approximately 120 remaining reported locations to address.
The City received four bids on July 12, 2022 for the Curb / Gutter and Sidewalk Reconstruction Fiscal Year 2021-22 project. FS Contractors, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible base bid totaling $389,330. The low bid, as submitted, is approximately 0.17% percent below the $390,000 engineer’s estimate. Staff has reviewed the bid documents and considers the bid acceptable.
Staff anticipates construction to start in September 2022 with an anticipated project completion in November 2022.
Staff has prepared an environmental assessment in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines and determined that the project is categorically exempt.
