The Sidewalk Safety Repair Program is budgeted in thc General Fund (001). The
Rubberi>:ed Sidewalk Pilot Project is funded through Recycled Product Preference funds
from thc Alameda County Waste Management Authority (ACWMA). Additional sidcwalk
replacement was performed as the City received a $5,000.00 Association of Bay Area
Governments (ABAG) grant for eliminating tripping hazards. A budget change in the
amount of $3,755 from General Fund is necessary to sufficiently fund the additional work
completed in FY 2004-2005.

ITEMNO.~
The pedestrian curb ramp replacement at the Dublin Sports Ground was ineluded with this
Contract as a cost-savings measure and is sufficiently funded through the City's Capital
Improvcmcnt Program Project No. 95830, Dublin Sports Ground Renovations.
DESCRIPTION: The Annual Sidewalk Safety Repair Program (Remove and Rcplace)
repairs sidewalk offsets of 3/4-inch or more that may pose a tripping hazard. This procedure requires
removal of the existing sidewalk, and in the case of root problems, removal of the tree roots, and then
replaccment of the concrete sidewalk.
While the maintenance of sidewalks and othcr frontagc improvements is legally the responsibility of the
privatc propcrty owner, the City Council has adopted a City-paid sidewalk repair program on a year-by-
year basis since 1983.
Additional sidewalk repairs were pcrformcd as part of this project to take advantage of a $ 5,000 grant
which was available to the City from ABAG for eliminating tripping hazards on sidcwalks.
The Rubberized Sidewalk Pilot Project uses modular rubber paver tiles, made with recyeled California tirc
rubber. These tiles are easily installed and are instantly ready for pedestrian traffic. In addition, rubber
sidewalks allow for long term, low-cost maintenance since root growth can be trimmed periodically
without damagc to cithcr trccs or sidcwalk. This is a cost cffective way for the City to tcst thc durability
and longcvity of the product for potential widespread use, and allows Staff to utilizc and tcst a Grcen
Building measure at no risk to the City. This year's rubberizcd sidcwalk projcct, the second year of the
Pilot Program, was installcd along thc cast sidc ofVillagc Parkway in front of Dublin High School.
Staff has reviewed the work performcd undcr this contract and has determined that the work is complctc.
Staff recommends that the City Council 1) accept Gcncral Fund Reimbursements in the amount of$5,000
from an ABAG Grant; 2) approve a budget change in the amount of $ 3,755; and 3) accept the
improvements under Contract No. 05-01, 2004-2005 Annual Sidewalk Safety Repair Program, and
authorize the release of retention after 35 days ifthcrc arc no subcontractor claims.
