ITEM NO. ~ DESCRIPTION': On September 16, 1997, the City Council awarded Contract the I-5§0 Beautification Project to Four Seasons Landscape and Maintenance, Inc. This project installed shrubs and irrigation along the east side of the 1-580 westbound off-ramp to San Ramon Road. The purpose of the project was to provide landscaping along the off-ramp to screen the Zone 7 concrete- lined channel and the non-landscaped Caltrans right of way. Action was taken by the City because Caltrans' budget can no longer pay for landscaping improvements and limits the level of roadside maintenance. Caltrans will take over the maintenance of the improvements after a three-year establishment period. All work has been completed per City plans and specifications.
