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

7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
This project will provide for construction of approximately fifty (50) 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 $250,000 including 15% contingency and construction
engineering.
Construction is scheduled to begin in March 2015, and is expected to be completed within one
month.
