SUBJECT: ADOPT PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE ADA/DOJ COMPLIANCE CURB
RAMP 2009-2010, PROJECT #15006, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY CLERK TO CALL
FOR BIDS.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Plans and Specifications.
BACKGROUND: In August of 2004, the City of San Rafael entered into a Settlement Agreement with the
Federal Department of Justice (DOJ) to address a lack of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) and related accessibility issues in City owned facilities and the public right-of-way. A portion of
the agreement calls for the City of San Rafael to construct curb ramps for each resurfacing project
undertaken since 1992, and for all future resurfacing projects. At the time, Public Works identified a
backlog of approximately 800 curb ramps, approximately 250 of which have been constructed since 2004.
This project will install an additional 114 curb ramps primarily in the Terra Linda and Central San Rafael
areas.
The design of the project was completed by City of San Rafael Department of Public Works engineering
staff and has been signed and approved by the Public Works City Engineer. A copy is available at the
City's Clerk's office for review.
ACTION REQUIRED: Adopt Plans and Specifications.
ANALYSIS: Adoption of the project plans and specifications is necessary for the plans to go out to bid
and the construction of the project to begin. Construction is anticipated to start in July of 2010 and finish
in October 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimate for construction of the project is $577,000. The City of San Rafael has
applied for and received a Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) for $500,000 which will fund the
majority of the project. The remainder of the project costs will utilize unallocated gas tax money from
project 11138 (Street Resurfacing 2009/2010).
Staff will request funding allocation after the construction bids have been opened.
