Children’s Department: Read-Alouds

We had a wonderful year partnering with Community Services’ Achieve and Elevate afterschool programs since the fall.  On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, students took turns reading aloud with an eBook shared on the Librarian’s computer screen.  Whether they were comfortable reading a lot or a little, all participated.

We hope to continue our collaboration with Achieve and Elevate in the future.  In addition, we are planning for read-alouds during the summer – by Zoom or in person – with the Community Education Partnership program for unhoused youth at Hilltop Mall.

The Literacy for Every Adult Program (LEAP) reports Literacy and Numeracy Levels in Contra Costa County

The National Center for Education Statistics surveyed 12,330 U.S. adults ages 16 to 74 living in households from 2012 to 2017 for the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), an international study involving over 35 countries. Using small area estimation models, indirect estimates of literacy and numeracy proficiency have been produced for all U.S. states and counties. In 2020, by using PIAAC survey data in conjunction with data from the American Community Survey, reliable estimates of adult literacy and numeracy skills in all 50 states, all 3,141 counties, and the District of Columbia were provided.

Using the 2020 PIAAC Assessment of Adult Literacy and Numeracy, LEAP was able to take a data snapshot of the current levels in literacy and numeracy in our county. What we’ve learned so far is that more than half of adults in Contra Costa County are at a proficient level in literacy but are less than proficient in numeracy.

LEAP will be comparing statistical information about the county, state, and nation to address the challenges that adult learners face specific to our city’s needs. With the help of partnering organizations, LEAP expects to provide a full report of data analysis and compilation in the summer of 2021.

Richmond Wellness Trail Project

Construction for the week of May 17th will have the contractor tentatively start work on the storm drains along Marina Way South from Maine Avenue to Cutting Boulevard. Traffic along this segment will be reduced to one lane in each direction without parking. Please make sure to follow parking signs! The contractor also anticipates marking street trees that will be removed because they conflict with the new improvements. Groundwork Richmond, a local nonprofit that provides workforce training to youth, will be planting 113 new trees as part of this project in the Fall.

   

Castro Ranch Road Project

This week the construction contractor, Ghilotti Bros., Inc., continued the work of placing the 14 new sidewalks and curb ramps.  They completed the work of lowering the utility boxes and manholes to below the roadway grade so they would be clear of pavement recycling grinders that are planned in a couple weeks.  There are many locations throughout the project where the roadway has settled and/or shows extensive cracking.  These are signs that the base material below the roadway is failing and needs to be repaired.  The contractor, Design Engineer and Construction Manager, walked the project and identified the locations that need to have base repair using pink paint.  The Contractor began excavating those base repair areas to a depth of 8”.  Each of those areas are being filled with compacted asphalt concrete.  The work of repairing the base material is expected to last through the week.  The traveling public should expect minor delays during this time.

Citizens with additional questions or concerns can utilize the information below with those requests:

Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) System Upgrade Project

The SCADA project (an acronym for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) will standardize, replace and configure the existing SCADA Network communication, the majority of which is outdated, failing and has exceeded its useful life. An upgraded SCADA system is crucial to allow for Veolia Staff at the City of Richmond’s Wastewater Treatment Plant to monitor and control processes locally and at remote locations, including remote telemetry of the City’s lift stations.

The contractor is Calcon Systems, Inc. The project is approximately 78% complete and the contractor is working on plant system programming upgrades and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).


Calcon (SCADA subcontractor) and Veolia O&M are working on the installation of a flush line valve to upgrade the shared leachate system.

High Priority Critical Improvements Projects

The City of Richmond and Veolia Water (Veolia) are implementing High Priority Critical Improvements Projects at the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), which is managed and operated by Veolia. The purpose of the projects is to replace aging and unreliable infrastructure, improve treatment operating efficiency, comply with future discharge regulations and improve the functionality of the existing WWTP. The improvements were identified through previous planning efforts, including the 2010 WWTP Master Plan and the 2016 WWTP Facility Plan, to construct the following elements of the WWTP Critical Improvements Projects: (1) New screening and grit removal facilities; (2) Aeration upgrades; and (3) Demolition of existing facilities and site clearing in preparation for future WWTP Facilities. The projects are expected to take approximately 2 ½ years to complete.

The contractor is investigating the facilities prior to beginning construction on this project. See pictures and description below.

Trash Capture Project, Cutting Boulevard and S. 3rd Street

In 2017, Caltrans and the City of Richmond collaborated to implement the Trash Capture Project. The Contech Engineered Solutions CDS system is a below-ground, flow-through treatment device that uses multiple treatment processes including swirl concentration and continuous deflective separation (CDS) to screen, separate and trap trash, debris, sediment, hydrocarbons and other pollutants from stormwater runoff. Veolia Water, in conjunction with the City of Richmond, successfully installed three such devices in 2017, 2018, and 2019; another device has been installed on Cutting Boulevard and S. 3rd Street.

The project is complete. The contractor is removing barricades and grouting manhole interiors as part of the demobilization process. See pictures below.
