Each year, the City is committed to construct at least $500,000 in new ADA improvements in the public right-of-way. Plans and Specifications, for Construction of ADA Access Ramps and Sidewalk at Various Locations, Phase VI - 2003/04 (SS04-07), were approved on August 25, 2004, and the project was advertised for bids. This project was advertised locally in the San Bernardino County Sun Newspaper, FW Dodge Company, Reed Construdion Data, Bid American Eledronic online Plan Room, Construction Bid Source, Bid Ocean, Inc., High Desert Plan Room, the City's Web site, and with the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce.

The bids by Kalban, Incorporated and Fischer Plumbing were declared to be non-responsive due to irregularities in their bids. Based on this development and the fact that additional changes have become necessary, staff is recommending that certain changes to the plans be made. It is contemplated that more competitive bids can be obtained when the plans are revised and the project rebid. The proposed changes are as follows: 1. Delete approximately 600 feet of sidewalk, which is proposed along the westerly side of University Parkway between Kendall Drive and Northpark Boulevard. Watson and Associates, Inc. will construct meandering sidewalk along this area, including an ADA ramp at the southwesterly corner of University Parkway and Northpark Boulevard, in connection with the development of Tract No. 16509. 2 ..

Add approximately 165 feet of sidewalk along the south side of College Avenue westerly of State Street and construct an ADA ramp at the southwesterly comer of State Street and College Avenue. This accessibility improvement was requested by Councilman Kelley because it is on the safe route to school for three elementary schools located along State Street. 3. Add ADA access ramps along 21st Street between Sierra Way and Waterman Avenue. This proposed addition was requested by the City Attorney due to a complaint that was received from a disabled person who resides in the area. Financial Impact: None.
