Installation of In-fill Improvements
and Replacement of Damaged Improvements
- Selected Major Arterials -
Tax allocation bond proceeds have been allocated to finance the
costs incurred for installing landscaping and irrigation systems,
A Landscape Development Program, authorizing participation with
property owners for installation of landscaping on parcels
adjacent to selected major arterials, was established by Resolu-
tion No. 91-185, adopted on 5-20-91.
Implementation of this landscaping program is well underway.
Since San Bernardino is an historic city, much of our street in-
frastructure was installed many years ago. However, there are
still some sections of street that have not been fully improved
with normal street infrastructure, such as curb and gutter, and
sidewalk.
".'
",.
Some sections of the existing street improvements have been
damaged due to normal deterioration over the years, or from the
growth of tree roots. These missing or damaged sections of
street improvements detract from the beautification provided by
the landscaping being installed, Also, the damaged sections can
create potential liability problems for the City.
Today's competitive bidding climate has resulted in very
favorable bid prices for construction work, Allocation of funds
for installing missing sections of street improvements, and
replacing damaged sections, would allow these items of work to be
done at the lowest possible cost.
Since detailed plans will not be needed, the contract documents
could be prepared with a minimum of effort and the project
advertised for bids very quickly. This will ensure that we will
be able to take advantage of the favorable bidding climate.
Construction of these street improvements will complement the
landscaping now being installed, reduce the City's exposure to
liability, and assist in our maintenance efforts.
Root guards will be installed to prevent future damage from tree
roots.
We recorrunend that the allocation of $1,000,000 from Tax Alloca-
tion Bond Proceeds, for installation of in-fill street improve-
ments and replacement of damaged improvements, be approved.
