FY26 Sidewalk Replacement Program Project No. 26-PW-299

The FY26 Sidewalk Replacement Program Project No. 26-PW-299 is a forecasted infrastructure project for the City of Gilroy, California, focused on the removal and replacement of damaged sidewalks, driveway approaches, park strips, curbs, gutters, and affected asphalt. The scope includes tree replacement, pavement resurfacing, grind and overlay, and concrete flatwork at various locations throughout the city to benefit local residents. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and has been determined exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15301c, as it involves no expansion of existing facilities and is not expected to have a significant environmental impact. Contractors are required to adhere to strict operational and safety standards, including the implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and compliance with Caltrans, CA MUTCD, and Cal-OSHA specifications. Key performance requirements include replacing reconstructed elements within five calendar days of removal and providing residents with one-week and 48-hour advance notices before construction begins. The contractor assumes sole responsibility for job site safety and must indemnify the City and Engineer. Additionally, the project mandates specific technical protocols for curb ramp installation, tree root management, and the immediate cessation of work within 100 feet of any archaeological finds until a certified professional evaluation is completed. All concrete forms and sidewalk closures must be approved by the City's Public Works Inspector prior to execution.
