RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a Second Amendment to a Professional Services Agreement with Precision Concrete Cutting for a citywide Infrastructure assessment and inventory and increase the amount by $250,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $513,277, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Second Amendment.
Body
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In 2019, The City of South San Francisco contracted with Precision Concrete Cutting (Precision) to conduct an inventory of the sidewalk system, assessing damages, and determining maintenance responsibilities. The City adheres to California Streets and Highways Code, which generally places the responsibility for sidewalk conditions on abutting property owners, with exceptions for damage caused by city trees or facilities. The completed inventory enables the City to swiftly address trip hazards and reduce liability, laying the groundwork for a Sidewalk Improvement Assistance Program. Additionally, the consultant has completed an inventory of all street signs, traffic signal poles, and streetlight poles to better understand their conditions and prioritize maintenance. This comprehensive assessment has resulted in a GIS-compatible report identifying potential hazards, damages, and areas for replacement across these infrastructure components.
In addition to a sidewalk assessment, Precision conducted an inventory of all street signs in the City, to understand better which signs may need replacement. Finally, Precision completed a traffic signal pole assessment and inventory and a streetlight pole assessment for which an inventory of the streetlight poles already exists. Assessing these poles provides information to staff on their condition, allowing for preventative maintenance, repairs, and replacement to occur, as needed.
Staff now proposes to amend the agreement with Precision to include additional sidewalk and infrastructure assessments at City facilities, Parks, and along the Bay Trail. Completing this assessment will further aid in future Capital Improvement Project (CIP) planning and will provide necessary information for Code Enforcement to follow up with responsible parties along the Bay Trail to effect repairs identified by the assessment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is sufficient budget in existing CIP Right of Way Infrastructure Assessment and Upgrades project tr2302 to fund this proposed second amendment.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
This project supports Initiative 2.2 - Excellent bike paths, pedestrian ways, and multi-modal transportation options,
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends adopting a resolution approving a Second Amendment to a Professional Services Agreement with Precision Concrete Cutting for a citywide Infrastructure assessment and inventory and increase the amount by $250,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $513,277, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Second Amendment.
