This project began in 2009 when city staff applied for a federal grant for the project of about 2,500 feet of guardrail along the Sister Cities Blvd., between Hillside Blvd. and South San Francisco Drive. According to a staff report, the project was completed at $169,147, which was about $20,600 under projected costs. The project was funded by a federal grant with 10% local match from Gas Tax.

• Council is recommended to adopt a resolution accepting a $90,000 grant from San Mateo County Safe Routes to School program, which promotes safety and air quality through reducing vehicle trips to schools. The grant is to help South City’s Parks and Recreation Department implement before and after school programs at South San Francisco Unified schools including Buri Buri, Ponderosa, Monte Verde, Spruce, Los Cerritos and Martin.

• Council is recommended to adopt a resolution awarding the Stonegate Tennis Court Replacement Project to Mountain View-based Saviano Company. The project will include resurfacing the two existing courts, replacing the nets and fence and installing a root barriar on the western edge of the courts to prevent root intrusion. The project will cost $75,000, which is $92,000 below a competing bid on the project.
