Infrastructure Element Goal 3.0 Ensure adequate maintenance of public rights -of -way to
enhance public safety and improve circulation.
Policy 3.1: Continue to maintain and repair sidewalks and pavement surfaces on public rights -

7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
This project will provide for construction of approximately twelve (12) ADA wheelchair access
ramps at various locations, City wide. As part of this project, detectable warning surfaces
(truncated domes) will be installed per the American with Disabilities Act Accessibility
Guidelines (ADAAG) requirements.
The City receives CDBG funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
for activities that primarily benefit Low and Moderate Income residents. Construction of ADA
compliant access ramps City -wide qualifies for CDBG funding because the ramps benefit
disabled residents that are considered to be Low Income.
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA guidelines Section 15301 "Existing Facilities"
Class 1 (c). The Notice of Exemption has been filed with the County Recorder's Office. The
proposed project is also categorically excluded from the provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) under CFR 24 Section 58.35. Documentation of this
determination is on file.
The estimated total cost for this project is $74,750 including 15% contingency and construction
engineering.
Construction is scheduled to begin in late April 2014, and is expected to be completed within a
month.
