Explanation
There have been many efforts to coordinate with Neighborhood Pride communities to clean up and restore the conditions within these areas. Lack of a significant curb restoration effort has been identified by neighborhood leaders as a problem. Proper restoration of street curbs and gutters aids in maintaining neighborhood cleanliness and contributes to favorable aesthetics. The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, solicited formal competitive bids for the Neighborhood Pride Curb Restoration Project - 2006 project; these bids were received on June 29, 2006, from five (5) vendors as follows:

This ordinance also authorizes the expenditure of up to $15,000.00 to reimburse the Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund for construction inspection for the project that will be performed by Sidewalk and Permit section personnel.

G and G Cement Contractors' contract compliance number is 31-0924129; this expires October 31, 2006.

This ordinance transfers money from these projects to the Curb Replacement project as appropriate and amends the Transportation Division's 2006 Capital Improvements Budget accordingly.
