To the Honorable Board:
I respectfully request an appropriation of $80,000 from Unreserved Fund Balance (Free Cash) to the DPW Engineering Division Professional and Technical Services Account to fund a complete city-wide assessment of sidewalks and curb ramps. A consultant will be hired to complete a city-wide assessment of sidewalks and curb ramps (approximately 3,200). The assessment will identify material, conditions, and measure various components with 2’ smart-levels to ascertain if ramp/sidewalk meets AAB/ADA regulations. The consultant will develop a report of findings and recommendations based on this information. The information will be used as part of the city’s pavement management plan.
Respectfully,
Joseph A. Curtatone
Mayor
