In addition, the existing curb on Orange Street, west side of Grand Street and north side of Lomita Avenue will be removed and replaced with new curb and gutter. Other aspects of the project include replacement of damaged sidewalk, curb and gutter, and removal and reconstruction of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps within the project limits to conform to the federal guidelines, adjustment of utility covers to grade, and pavement striping.
The total cost is estimated at $811,000, including 15% construction engineering and contingency.
