FROM: City staff
SUBJECT: Resolution to Increase Fees Charged for Sidewalk,
Driveway, Curb and/or Gutter Repair Performed by City
Forces
INTRODUCTION
This report recommends that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution increasing fees charged for sidewalk, driveway, curb
and/or gutter repair when the work is performed by city forces.
BACKGROUND
Since October 9, 1979, the City has had a sidewalk repair program
which consists of inspection of sidewalks, driveways, curbs and
gutters located on public property to identify those damaged
areas which could be hazardous to the public. Upon
identification of damaged areas, a citation is issued to the
property owner to make the necessary repairs. The citation
states that if the owner does not repair the damaged areas, the
City will make the repairs and assess the property owner for the
cost of the repairs. However, when the damage to the sidewalks,
driveways, curb or gutter is caused by City tree roots, the
policy of the City Council is to assess the property owner for
50% of the cost of the repair with the City paying the remainder
of the cost. Tree root damage accounts for approximately 90% of
the total concrete repairs performed by the city.

DE"" , ~ \)~'oj
___t..l __ I., -
The amount established by resolution for these repairs is based
on the average actual cost to the city for staff to perform the
repairs. The current average costs were last revised in 1982.
These costs are:
sidewalks $4.00 per square foot
Driveways 5.00 per square foot
Curbs Only 10.00 per linear foot
Gutters Only 7.00 per linear foot
Curbs and Gutters 12.00 per linear foot
Removal Only of Portland
Concrete Cement Pavement 2.00 per square foot
Recent analysis indicates that these rates are not sufficient to
recover costs incurred by city forces. Salary, equipment and
material costs have increased significantly over the past six
years. Analysis of data collected regarding concrete repairs
completed in the months of September and October of 1988
indicates a unit charge increase of fifty percent (50%) is
necessary to recover City costs incurred completing concrete
repairs. September and October concrete repair summary data are
shown in the following table.
SIDEWALK REPAIR STATISTICS
Labor Equip. l-fa ter. Total Cost/
Month Sq. Ft. Cost Cost Cost Cost Sq. Ft
9/88 2,726 $13,176 $1,504 $2,020 $16,700 $6.13
10/88 4,536 $22,122 $2,451 $3,087 $27,660 $6.10
Drivevlay, curb and/or gutter repairs comprise approximately ten
percent of the total concrete repairs by City forces. Since the
materials, labor and equipment unit costs for these categories of
repairs do not differ from sidewalk repair unit costs, the unit
- 2 -
charges by the City for these categories should also be increased
by the same fifty percent factor.
Staff proposes that rates for concrete repairs be increased to
the following unit prices which approximate contractors' bids for
this type of concrete removal and replacement work.
Sidewalks $6.00 per square foot
Driveways 7.50 per square foot
Curbs Only IS.OO per linear foot
Gutters Only 10.50 per linear foot
Curbs and Gutters 18.00 per linear foot
Removal Only of Portland
concrete Cement Pavement 3.00 per square foot
50% of the cost to be assessed when sidewalk damage is
caused by City tree roots.
It should be noted that the above work includes trimming tree
roots, repairing damaged sprinklers and any necessary grading.
Other area cities were surveyed to obtain concrete repair
information. The data collected is displayed in an attachment at
the end of this report.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Implementation of these fees will result in increased revenues of
approximately $331250 for sidewalk, driveway, curb and gutter
repairs per year beginning in FY 1989-90. In FY 1988-89, no
increase in revenues will be realized as outstanding citations,
based on the current rates, must be completed.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City council adopt the attached
resolution increasing the fees charged for sidewalk, driveway,
curb and/or gutter repairs when work is performed by city forces.
