The Contractor shall be responsible for the following: Remove the existing sidewalk and haul it off. Dig foundation to grade and prep the site to form up the new sidewalk with little to no sloping in any capacity. The sidewalk shall be prepared as level as possible. Form up the new sidewalk 8’ wide, 1477’ around with one 10’x10’ area with picnic table, six 6’ x 8’ areas with benches, three 8’ x 10’ areas with benches (tables/benches shall be removed and secured back in place). Insert high-density polyethylene sheets where needed as root barriers to prevent damage to sidewalk. Pour 3500 psi concrete, minimum thickness of 4” with #10 wire mesh for strength and a broom finish. Place expansion joints every 30’ with redwood or metal dowel and cut in joint every 10’ for flexibility. Ensure width of expansion and cut in joints shall not allow wheels of walkers and wheelchairs to catch and cause incidents. Once forms are removed, dress the area off with topsoil for smooth transition from the new sidewalk to the grass with little to no sloping. The ground shall be prepared as level with sidewalk as possible. The leveling/elevation of the area shall match (or use minimal sloping), at the existing walkways and area in front of the pavilion that is adjacent. There shall be a smooth transition from the existing walkway to new sidewalk as well as ground level. Guard rails shall be installed on the south side of the pond. Drainage shall be assessed to ensure the sidewalk does not hold water in any area.
