Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager
'�
From:
William Casey, Public Works , -_ P
Agenda Item: Emergency sidewalk repair and authorizing the City
Manager to enter into an agreement not -to- exceed
$30,000
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
It is apparent to City staff and members of the community that the condition of some of the
sidewalks downtown necessitate immediate attention. The high volume of pedestrian traffic on
these sidewalks warrants an emergency need to mitigate and reduce slips, trips and fall hazards to
pedestrians and visitors. The extensive damage to the sidewalks poses a hazard to pedestrians in
Seward.
There are currently unused funds in the capital acquisition fund previously intended for dredging.
These funds were originally appropriated from the General Fund to the Capital Acquisition Fund.
The appropriation of a portion of these funds to emergency sidewalk repair will reduce the
hazards to pedestrians.
In order to complete the work expediently, the city manager is seeking authorization to
appropriate funds and enter into an agreement not -to- exceed $30,000 for emergency sidewalk
repair.
INTENT: To appropriate $18,763.88 from the capital acquisition fund and $1 1,236.12 from the
roads /streets fund net assets to account no. 203 - 2030 -5390 for emergency sidewalk repair and enter
into an agreement not -to- exceed $30,000.
