Title
FINAL ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT OF CONTRACT K-2021-29 FOR THE SIDEWALK HORIZONTAL SAW CUTTING PROJECT WITH PRECISION CONCRETE CUTTING OF OKLAHOMA, L.L.C.
Body
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the City Council has appropriated funds in the Capital Fund Budget for the horizontal saw cutting sidewalk program. This program allows the City to contract for outside services to repair trip hazards on sidewalks along a predetermined location. In Federal Year Ending (FYE) 2021 City Council appropriated $41,212.50. This method of repair utilizes tools that allow for saw cut along the sidewalk removing tripping hazards up to 2 inches in height. This method of repair costs much less than the conventional removal, and replacement of panels.
On October 13, 2020, City Council approved the contract to fund the Sidewalk Horizontal Saw Cutting Project by Precision Concrete Cutting of Oklahoma, L.L.C., in the amount of $41,212.50.

These areas are shown on the attached maps. These sidewalks have approximately 600 identified tripping hazards over a length of 2.5 miles of sidewalks and the area in the Municipal Campus. Locations identified in the project area that exceed two (2) inches in deflection or damaged beyond this type of repair will be repaired using the FYE 2021 Sidewalk Projects to replace those sections.
Work began in October 15, 2019, and the project was completed by November 10, 2020.
