Council picks vendor for sidewalk trip-hazard grinding in school routes
Summary
Precision Concrete Cutting won a $35,072.11 contract to grind trip hazards identified in a city survey (451 hazards found) on routes near schools and key corridors; staff said the effort targets safety and ADA compliance.
Staff reported a citywide sidewalk survey that identified 451 hazards in targeted areas; 406 of those were trip hazards appropriate for grinding (0.5 to 1.5 inches). The work zone includes 350 East (Eagle Ridge to Center Street), Center Street down to I-15, and a portion of Orchard Drive. The city's aging grinder was not serviceable; staff recommended awarding the contract to Precision Concrete Cutting for $35,072.11 to complete the prioritized sections.
Council discussed long-term sidewalk maintenance strategy, liability and the need for an annual program to address recurring hazards. Council approved the contract by motion and voice vote; staff said they will return with options for a multi-year sidewalk plan and an online reporting process for residents to flag hazards.
