�, i -z Sta is administering the program following performance measure goals to retain at least 80% of the larger trees on a street and not remove more than two mature trees in a row. Adequate space (three-foot minimum) is necessary between the tree and new sidewalk to pertorm root pruning. Staff encourages property owners to preserve trees by allowing the City to establish a sidewalk maintenance easement on private propertywhen necessaryfor the relocation of the sidewalk. Failure to provide the easement �nrill not allow the necessary space to preserve the tree and will cause the site to be �passed over for permanent concrete repairs to avoid tree removal. A temporary asphz!t repair will be made to alleviate the defective walkway and reduce the pedestrian risk if a concrete repair site is bypassed. The City will return to bypassed locations on 5-year cycles to re-evaluate the tree and offer the concrete repair with easement. Property owners are also offered the opportunity to participate in cost shared repairs for defects of less than one-inch and may pay 100% of the repair cost for replacement of undamaged concrete. Alternatives 1) Award the contract to a higher bidder. Staff is confident the low bidder can complete the project. 2) Re-bid the contract. Staff does not believe a better price will be received through another bid. Fiscal Impact Funds have been approved in the FY 2003-2004 Capital Improvement Program, Tree Preservation and Sidewalk Repair funding in the amount of $1,000,000. $500,000 of this amount is earmarked for the streetscape (street trees and sidewalks) adjacent to the Cinema Project. The CIP budget contains the following balance: • Current project balance $ 945,094 • Current Wheel Chair Ramp Construction balance $ 50,000 � • 03-04 Subject Project -$ 569,652 • Project administration and inspection (remainder of FY 03-04) -$ 14.000 Estimated CIP balance at end of FY 03-04 $ 411,442 The $500,000 for the �Cinema Project (street tree / sidewalk portion) is included in this project balance amount. Staff will manage the 04-05 CIP budget to ensure the total amount is available for the Cinema Project streetscape when the pr.oject requires the funding. . � / / ;.. l N - ' �� Gordon Mann Peter Ingram Ed Everett Publie Works Superintendent Public Works Services Director City Manager Attachments Reporting Area maps Page 2 of 2
