Subject:Information Only: Cost Estimates for Installing Cement or Decorative Rock throughout Sunset Street Parkway
Meeting Date:March 17, 2022
From:Marissa Trejo, City Manager
Prepared by:Sean Brewer, Assistant City Manager


I.    RECOMMENDATION:

This was a future agenda item requested by Councilman Adkisson to get costs to pave the park strips along Sunset between Washington and Polk Street.  This is informational only.

II.    BACKGROUND:

Councilman Adkisson was concerned about the weeds in the park strips along sunset and wanted to get a cost to either pave the park strips or add rock to alleviate the occurrence of weeds. 

III.   DISCUSSION:

The City Engineer estimates that the cost to furnish and install concrete in the park strips along Sunset would be approximately $56,820.00. A copy of the engineers estimate is attached.  

 

An additional request was made related to adding rock instead of concrete. The City Engineers estimate for 3/4 inch decorative rock with weed block fabric was $22,510.20, but this is not recommended as it will not fully ensure weed growth.



IV.   ALTERNATIVES:

Informational Only

V.    FISCAL IMPACT:

Costs associated with this project would come from local street funds (Measure C, TDA, SB1) and is not budgeted.
