Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract for the construction of the Pedestrian Safety Improvements - King Avenue-NW Boulevard-Worthington Woods Boulevard Sidewalks Project.

This project will construct sidewalks and associated handicap ramps on King Avenue from Westwood Avenue to Andover Street (0.2 miles), Northwest Boulevard from King Avenue to 5th Avenue (0.2 miles), and Worthington Woods Boulevard from Alta View Boulevard to Sancus Boulevard (0.38 miles). Driveway approaches will be replaced as needed to meet ADA requirements.

One mile of 5 foot wide sidewalk will be added or reconstructed in this project on both sides of these roads. 40 ADA ramps will be added or reconstructed in this project. There are 5 bus stops and transit routes within the limits of this project. These new sidewalks fill in gaps where there are no sidewalks, and come as a result of the City's Operation SAFEWALKS planning effort. Pedestrian generators and destinations impacting the proposed project include residences and small commercial properties.

The estimated Notice to Proceed date is August 3, 2011. The project was let by the Office of Support Services through vendor services. 4 bids were received on June 14, 2011 (4 majority) and tabulated on June 15, 2011 as follows:
