ANALYSIS:
On April 11th, 2018 the City Commission requested a referral to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) to consider the installation of Beautiful Barriers as a pilot to beautify the security barriers as deemed necessary citywide. The implementation was to take place at existing jersey barriers placed strategically for the safety of our residents and visitors. The Beautiful Barriers concept would provide an attractive, durable and low maintenance solution in line with a world class city.
On June 6th, 2018 at the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) the installation of the Beautiful Barriers pilot program was discussed and approved for a total amount of $8,000.00 (Exhibit A). Upon further consideration, it was decided that the best location for the Beautiful Barriers prototype would be at the intersection of Lincoln Lane South & Euclid Avenue (Exhibit B). The pilot was installed on March 25th, 2019.
Since the installation of the prototype, the Property Management Department has conducted inspections to assess the condition and durability of the product. The prototype has maintained its form and appearance with no visible blemishes while responding well to weather, pedestrian and vehicular traffic exposure.
Based on the proposal provided from Brad Bonessi (the Contractor) on May 7, 2019, costs associated with the expansion and maintenance of Beautiful Barriers are listed below:
