BUTZLAFF, ICMA-CM, CITY MANAGER FROM: DANIEL BOBADILLA, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER DATE: APRIL 17, 2017 SUBJECT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) SIDEWALK AND ADA IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT NO. 601804-16 SUMMARY: The City can use Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for concrete improvements within qualified CDBG areas. The proposed actions will approve the proposed project and authorize Staff to solicit bids from qualified contractors to remove and replace 46 curb ramps and 3,680 square feet of sidewalk in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1) Approve the proposed project; and 2) Authorize Staff to solicit a Notice of Inviting Bids for the CDBG-funded Sidewalk and ADA Improvements Project. DISCUSSION: The City has participated in the CDBG Program since its inception in 1974, utilizing these federal funds for various community development projects. In Fiscal Year 2016-17, CDBG funds totaling $129,675 were allocated to improve sidewalks and curb ramps throughout the City. Additionally, $52,200 in unspent CDBG funds from a cancelled CDBG project will increase the project budget from $129,675 to a new total of $181,875. Of the new total amount, $145,500 will be utilized for construction and $36,375 will be allocated for administrative costs associated with CDBG program oversight and compliance with federal labor standards. The proposed sidewalk improvements will improve pedestrian safety by repairing approximately 3,680 square feet of existing sidewalks that may inhibit pedestrian access or cause injuries, minimizing the APPROVED CITY COUNCIL 4/17/2017 Sidewalk and ADA Improvements April 17, 2017 Page 2 risks of trip and fall incidents. In addition, this project will upgrade 46 existing curb ramps to comply with the latest ADA guidelines. The project will focus on areas of greatest need within the boundaries qualified for CDBG funds. The areas to be addressed are bounded by Foothill Boulevard on the north, First Street on the south, Azusa Avenue on the west, and Rockvale Avenue on the east. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommendation actions. Prepared by: Reviewed and Approved: Daniel Bobadilla, P.E. Louie F.
