which replaces offset sidewalk which may present a tripping hazard. The grinding program will
grind offsets which are not cause by tree roots or excessive ground movement at substantially
lower costs, thereby increasing the number of locations which can be corrected.
The City received a total of five bids for this project. The Iow bidder was Central Coast
Surface Grinding with a bid of $22,100. The Engineer's Estimate for the work was $30,000
based on a two-year contract of $15,000 per year.
Staff has reviewed the Iow bidder's proposal and checked with references and recommends
that the City Council award the bid to the Iow bidder.
