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

This project will construct sidewalks and curb ramps on Valleyview Drive between Wilson Road and the entrance to Westmoor Middle School.

A total of 0.48 miles of 5-foot to 7-foot wide concrete sidewalk will be added in this project on the north side of Valleyview Drive and 0.57 miles of 5-foot to 7-foot wide concrete sidewalk on the south side of Valleyview Drive.
11 ADA ramps will be added or reconstructed in this project.

The Division of Mobility Options reviewed walk widths for anticipated future activity, and found that the 5' and 7' wide sidewalk widths were adequate for the pedestrian demand.

Pedestrian generators and destinations impacting the proposed project exist in the project area. The development is mostly residential and commercial, but there is a school in the area.

Pedestrian Quality of Service analyses show a marked improvement in that sidewalks are being constructed where there are presently no pedestrian facilities. Pedestrian Quality of Service analyses show a marked improvement in that the Pedestrian Quality of Service Analysis showed a marked improvement of one letter grade from a D to a C with the installation of sidewalk.

The estimated Notice to Proceed date is June 26, 2011. The estimated completion date for this project is November 11, 2011. The project was let by the Office of Support Services through vendor services. 6 bids were received on May 5, 2011 (6 majority) and tabulated on May 6, 2011 as follows:

Company Name Bid Amt City/State Majority/MBE/FBE
