Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract for the construction of the Pedestrian Safety Improvements - Mound Street-Wilson Road-Nelson Road Sidewalks Project.

This project will construct sidewalks and associated handicap ramps on Mound Street from Binns Avenue to Brinker Boulevard, Nelson Road from Greenway Avenue to the railroad overpass, and Wilson Road from Interchange Drive to Fisher Road. Driveway approaches will be replaced as needed to meet ADA requirements. 1.59 miles of 5 foot wide sidewalk will be added or reconstructed in this project on both sides of Mound Street and Wilson Road and the west side of Nelson Road. 75 ADA ramps will be added or reconstructed in this project.

There are 11 bus stops and transit routes within the limits of this project. These new sidewalks fill in gaps where there are no sidewalks. Pedestrian generators and destinations impacting the proposed project include Bishop Ready High School, Nelson Park, Eastgate School, St. Charles Preparatory School, and Wolfe Park

The estimated Notice to Proceed date is August 1, 2011. The project was let by the Office of Support Services through vendor services. 3 bids were received on June 9, 2011 (3 majority) and tabulated on June 10, 2011 as follows:
