TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: REPAIR OF BEGONIA PARK STAIRWAY
RECOMMENDATION:
April 28, 1975
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO. H-12
Direct the staff to proceed with demolition of the upper
undermined portion of the Begonia Park stairway.
DISCUSSION:
The repair of the Begonia Park stairway is included in the
1974-75 Capital Improvement Projects. Plans and specifications were
prepared for the repairs. Since the estimated cost of the work was
less than $12,000, the repairs were to have been made using the City's
informal contract procedure. The plans and specifications were sent
to nine contractors with sealed proposals to be opened by the City's
Purchasing Agent at 10:30 A.M. on April 18, 1975. No bids were re-
ceived.
Two of the contractors receiving plans and specifications
were contacted to determine why they had not submitted bids. They
indicated that the risk of liability was far too great when compared
to the scope of the work.
The concrete stairway in its present condition constitutes
a hazard which should be repaired or removed. If the stairway is
removed, it is anticipated that some slope stabilization work will be
required.
A sketch showing the location of the stairs is attached.
