BACKGROUND
The annual Concrete Rehabilitation Program consists of two efforts awarded under one contract to make the most efficient use of available funding. The sidewalk repair program will replace existing sidewalks damaged by tree roots and pavement settlement. The access ramp construction program will serve people with disabilities through the installation of new access ramps while meeting the requirements outlined in Title 21 of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Attached is a list of construction locations identified during the annual Citywide sidewalk inspection and locations submitted by residents. This project is a component of the Sustaining Public Infrastructure theme of the City of Santa Clarita's (City) five-year strategic plan, Santa
Clarita 2025.
Substantial constraints and controls were established in the construction documents to reduce potential impacts on traffic and to homeowners during construction. Construction is scheduled to begin in April 2024 and is anticipated to be completed within 55 working days following the Notice to Proceed.
An invitation to bid was published on November 17, 2023, and posted on BidNet. Seven responsive bids were submitted electronically and opened by Purchasing on December 7, 2023.
