The council will meet beginning at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 24, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
The single item on the meeting agenda is the proposed award of the sidewalk project to Granite Construction, which was the low bidder at $399,495, according to the staff report from Public Works Director Doug Grider.
The city engineer’s estimate for this project was $435,811.25, Grider said.
The sidewalk was damaged as the result of severe storms in early 2017 and 2019, which destroyed the Library Park seawall, as Lake County News has reported.
West Coast Contractors, a firm based in Coos Bay, Oregon, currently is building a new steel sheet pile retaining wall, a project that began earlier this month.
Grider’s report explains that the sidewalk project includes removing and replacing the existing sidewalk and the aggregate base; coloring and stamping some portions of the sidewalk; installing trench drain and features, and pipe sleeves; modification of existing light pole bases and relocation of existing light poles.
Because the damage resulted from storms that were covered by a federal disaster declaration, the project is being funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and insurance funds, according to Grider’s report.
Grider said construction is estimated to start on March 16.
