Fiscal Impact
A total of $225,000 has been budgeted in the 2021 Capital Improvement Plan for sidewalk improvements. Funds in the amount of $200,000 for this project come from CDBG Fund, for Development Customer Services - Neighborhood Services, Capital Improvements account no. 2083-46201-101-583656; funds in the amount of $25,000 for this project come from the FY 2021 Capital Improvement Fund, Public Works - Engineering, for Sidewalk Improvements account no. 3095-43780-101-570953.
Background
This project includes the replacement of approximately 21,500 square feet of sidewalks, as well as additional quantities for curbs, driveway apron replacement, and other items associated with this concrete work. Sidewalk replacement will take place at numerous locations throughout the Village.
Sidewalk locations have been prioritized based on a sidewalk survey conducted by the Engineering Division staff. Staff surveys approximately ¼ of the Village each year with work focused in the northeast part of the village this year. A typical sidewalk square (26.5 sq. ft.) costs about $225 to replace. The Village covers 100% of the cost for replacement for the majority of sidewalks identified in our surveys. Homeowners can share 50% of the cost, or roughly $112 per sidewalk square, to replace sidewalks not identified in the surveys.
Staff is recommending that the total budgeted amount of $225,000 be awarded for the contract so that additional sidewalk locations in need of replacement can be included in the project.
