Origin of Project
On March 10, 1983, the Transportation and Public Works Department received a
letter from the current owners of the King Candy Company Building, requesting
the 700 and 800 blocks of East Ninth Street be improved. The building is now
known as Worth Center and will be developed as a multi-purpose complex for
apartments, a restaurant, a health club, beauty salon, exclusive office space
with safety vault for security boxes of tenants, and a civil defense facility in~
the basement area.
In order to determine the desires of all the property owners as to improving the
street, a poll-card survey was conducted with favorable results. On August 23,
1983 (M&C G-5725), the City Council approved the project.
Improvements
East Ninth Street in this area is an existing brick surface on a concrete base
street with scattered curb and gutter and an adequate storm drain system. The
existing street is 36 to 40 feet wide. All of the adjacent property is zoned "J"
light industrial.
It was proposed to improve the street by constructing new curb and gutter and
driveway approaches where required, repairing the base as needed and overlaying
the existing brick surface with a 3-inch hot-mix asphaltic concrete surface on a
40 foot wide roadway.
During the design of the project it was determined that the concrete base has
deteriorated beyond repair. Consequently, it is proposed to completely
reconstruct the street with new 7" concrete pavement with attached concrete curb
and concrete driveway approaches where required.
Receipt of Bids
The project was advertised for bids on July 26 and August 2, 1984, and the
following bids were received on August 16, 1984, with 45 working days allotted
to complete the project.
