Body
PREAMBLE
The Common Council adopted a plan in 1996 to repair defective sidewalk throughout the City on a ten-year cycle. The plan was updated in 2002 to reflect the completed work and to incorporate the reconstituted aldermanic districts. The 1st, 7th and 9th Aldermanic Districts have been scheduled for repair in 2009.
Offset, settled or badly cracked sidewalk sections are replaced with this program, the City and the abutting property owner each paying one half of the cost. The program is also used to install curb ramps at intersections. Curb ramps are funded solely by the City.
The City Engineer plans to award two contracts for the work in 2009.
NOW THERFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the plans and specifications for the Annual Construction and Reconstruction of Concrete Sidewalk and Incidental Concrete Curb and Gutter Work Ordered (Districts 1, 7 & 9) by the Common Council be and are hereby approved:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Public Works be and is hereby authorized to advertise for and receive bids for the required public works contract.
