SUBJECT: PPW JOB NO. 11 -17 - FISCAL YEAR 2011/12 — CURB, GUTTER, AND
SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT PROJECT 813 -9921
APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CURB, GUTTER,
AND SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT PROJECT AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO
ADVERTISE THE PROJECT FOR BID.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve plans and specifications for the Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Replacement Project and
authorize staff to advertise the project for bid.
BACKGROUND
The adopted FY 2011/12 — 2015/16 Capital Improvement Program Budget designates funding
for curb, gutter, and sidewalk replacement projects. This project is consistent with the Town's
goals to improve public safety and to improve the quality of Town streets.
One of the primary causes of damage to curbs, gutters, and sidewalks is tree root growth. The
Town has many mature trees that were planted years ago, and despite their many positive
attributes, have outgrown their respective planter areas and their roots continue to cause damage
to the Town's street infrastructure. Their roots have grown under curbing, sidewalks, and in
some cases, under the roadway, causing uplifts and extensive damage, which results in uneven
surfaces and present safety concerns.
DISCUSSION
This project will repair and replace damaged curbs, gutters, and sidewalks in various
neighborhoods throughout Town, focusing on the Placer Oaks, Longmeadow, and South
Kennedy neighborhoods. This work is intended to take place in advance of the upcoming street
resurfacing in these neighborhoods, scheduled for summer 2012.

In conjunction with the replacement of damaged concrete, tree roots will also be pruned and root
barriers will be installed to reduce the potential of similar damage to new curbs, gutter, and
sidewalks.
Plans and Specifications for this project are complete and will be available for review in the
Clerk's Department on the Friday before the Town Council meeting. If the Town Council
approves this project, it will be advertised for bids, and a recommendation to award a
