CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT:
Approval of Plans and authorization to advertise for bids - Installation of handicapped ramps in
various locations per Plan No. 9793.
BACKGROUND:
Installation of handicapped ramps along various streets has been programmed for the last several
years. The proposed ramps follow the adopted policy for installation in that they cover public
facilities, schools, retail areas, and places of public accommodation in a set order. The CDBG
application provided for $50,000 for construction. This is the first set of ramps and reflects
those that do not require additional right-of-way and/or relocation of major facilities. The
remaining locations for the priority list are being designed and will be ready in the near future.
However, they do require additional work for right-of-way and/or relocation of existing
improvements.
The Memorandum of Understanding was completed and approval given to begin design March
17, 1998. This portion of the project represents construction of approximately 40 ramps; plans
are now complete and we are ready to advertise for bids.
Listed below are the estimated construction costs based on the Engineer's Estimate of
construction:

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the installation of handicapped ramps at various locations is found in the Community
Development Block Grant Projects Fund under Account No. 97-233 in the amount of $50,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the plan and that the Acting Director of Public Works be
authorized to begin advertising for bids on the installation of handicapped ramps in various
locations.
