The project was substantially completed on September 27, 2024. The plant establishment period ended on March 6, 2025.
The construction methods and materials met the Project Specifications as set forth by the contract documents and the project has been deemed complete.
On November 16, 2021, City Council appropriated American Rescue Plan Act Funds (Resolution No. 22250), allocating $6M for sidewalk repairs, majority to be spent in 93905 and 93906. ARPA funding was divided to be spent in two years on separate sidewalk repair projects. Additional funding for this project was allocated from CIP 9720 (General Fund, Measure G and Measure X).
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
The City of Salinas has determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Section 15301(c), Class I) because the majority of the work will be maintenance of concrete sidewalks, curb and gutter.
Furthermore, the project does not qualify for any of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions found at CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 as all exceptions do not relate to the project scope of work for this project.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
This item relates to the Council’s Goal of Infrastructure and Environmental Sustainability and Public Safety by investing in the sidewalk repair program and allowing increased mobility for seniors, youth, and disabled individuals.
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONO 84308 APPLIES:
No.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The majority of the coordination is within the Public Works Department. The Divisions working together are the Engineering Division and Maintenance (Urban Forestry and Streets Divisions) for updates and coordination on the Sidewalk Repair request list, evaluation of tree roots, and tracking of the trees removed/replaced. Public Works coordinates contract execution with the Finance and Legal Departments.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
The project was completed within the approved budget. Contract amounts were paid using ARPA funds for Base Bid No. 1 and CIP 9720 which included approximately a $1 million appropriation from the General Fund (including Measure G) for Base Bid No. 2. The total construction cost was $2,448,517.73.
