SUBJECT:
Funding Agreement with Alamo Community Group for the Downtown Glass Block Sidewalks Project
SUMMARY:
An ordinance authorizing the execution of a Funding Agreement between the City of San Antonio and the Alamo Community Group in an amount not to exceed $288,585.61 for the reconstruction of sidewalks as part of the Downtown Glass Block Sidewalks Project, a FY 2018 Certificate of Obligation funded project, in Council District 1.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As part of the FY 2018 Capital Budget, $1,270,000.00 was allocated for the Downtown Glass Block Sidewalks Project located in Council District 1.
Within the Central Business District in Council District 1, there are 12 sidewalk locations with integrated, rectangular glass blocks. Over the years, the glass block sidewalks have been subjected to water infiltration and commercial loading and have lacked the necessary maintenance required for pedestrian safety.
Through an On-Call Contract, TCI secured Alpha Consulting Engineers to identify, assess and prioritize the locations in most need of immediate work.
Of the 12 locations listed below, eight (8) are complete and four (4) are in design.
