Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends acceptance of the work by American Civil Constructors West Coast, Inc., filing of the Notice of Completion, release of the performance and payment bonds, and release of the maintenance bond upon completion of the one-year maintenance period.
BACKGROUND
The City owns and maintains several bridges, some of which are periodically inspected by Caltrans. Recent inspection reports for the bridge that carries San Leandro Boulevard over San Leandro Creek indicate that some of the concrete is damaged and that two pipe outfalls have caused erosion under the bridge. Recent inspection reports for the bridge that carries Wicks Boulevard over the Estudillo Canal (located immediately north of Stenzel Park) indicate that small cracks are present in the concrete deck that should be sealed to prevent water entry.
San Leandro Boulevard and Wicks Boulevard are both arterial streets within the City.
