C °ePospEo`•''� ro City Council Staff Report DATE: March 2, 2016 CONSENT CALENDAR SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND ESTIMATE (PS&E) AND AUTHORIZATION TO BID THE TAHQUITZ CANYON WAY AND CIVIC DRIVE TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION, CITY PROJECT NO. 15-21 FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager BY: Public Works & Engineering Department SUMMARY The construction documents (plans and specifications) have been completed, and in accordance with Section 7.03.040 of the Procurement and Contracting Code the City Council is required to approve and adopt plans, specifications and working details, and authorize the bid request for all public projects in excess of $100,000. Approval of this action will allow staff to proceed with bidding of this capital project, with an estimated cost of$350,000. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the plans, specifications and estimate and authorize staff to advertise and solicit bids for the Tahquitz Canyon Way and Civic Drive Traffic Signal Installation, City Project No. 15-21. STAFF ANALYSIS: Recently, staff requested one of its on-call traffic engineering firms (Albert A. Webb Associates) to review the Tahquitz Canyon Way / Civic Drive intersection to conduct a traffic signal warrant analysis. On February 19, 2016, staff received confirmation from its consultant that a traffic signal at the intersection is warranted; a copy of the warrant analysis is included as Attachment 1. On this basis, staff recommends that the City pursue installation of this new traffic signal. The proposed traffic signal installation work includes, but is not limited to, the installation of a fully functional controller cabinet, electrical service pedestal, traffic signal pole and equipment, video camera detection, emergency vehicle preemption, signal interconnect system, street lighting, and any other appurtenant work. Staff will be specifying ITEM NO. City Council Staff Report March 2, 2016—Page 2 Authorization to Bid CP15-21 installation of white powder coated "Ameron" style traffic signal poles, shown here, to mirror the style of the traffic signal poles previously installed at the entrance to the Palm Springs International Airport. The traffic signal will be interconnected with the adjacent traffic signal at El Cielo Road, to ensure timing operations between the two traffic signals are coordinated. v�ev f WIM i¢ a(� a With the City Council's authorization to proceed with this project, staff will coordinate with one of its on-call traffic engineering firms to prepare traffic signal installation plans and specifications. Staff recommends that City Council authorize staff to proceed with this project, prepare the traffic signal installation plans, pre-approve the plans, and authorize staff to formally solicit construction bids for the project. With City Council's approval, staff will advertise the project in the Desert Sun, submit the Notice Inviting Bids to plan rooms, and provide the bid documents available free of charge to prospective bidders. A copy of the construction drawings and contract specifications for the Project are on file with the Public Works & Engineering Department. The following tentative schedule has been identified for the bid process: Notice Inviting Bids posted and issued: April 7, 2016 Deadline for receipt of bids: 3:00 PM, May 12, 2016 Contract awarded by City Council: June 1, 2016 02 City Council Staff Report March 2, 2016-- Page 3 Authorization to Bid CP15-21 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Guidelines are required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. In response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources identified classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment, and are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. In accordance with Section 15301 "Existing Facilities," Class 1 projects consist of operation, repair, and maintenance of existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities, therefore, the Tahquitz Canyon Way and Civic Drive Traffic Signal Installation, City Project. No. 15-21, is considered categorically exempt from CEQA, and a Notice of Exemption has been prepared and will be filed with the Riverside County Clerk. A copy of the Notice of Exemption is included as Attachment 2. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff is recommending that $350,000 from the Local Measure A Fund unscheduled capital project reserve (current balance of $500,385) be appropriated to a new account for this project. The estimated total cost of the project is $350,000. SUBMITTED: Prepared by: Approved by: k Marcus L. Fuller, A, P.E., P.L.S. David H. Ready h.

It is a 4-lane roadway with a raised landscaped median and class II bicycle lanes.The posted speed on Tahquitz Canyon Way is 40 miles-per-hour (mph). The intersecting street is Civic Drive. It is classified as a 40'-wide Collector roadway in the City of Palm Springs General Plan. It is 2-lane roadway with class III bicycle markings.The posted speed on Civic Drive is 30 mph.The nearest intersection to the east is a signalized intersection at Tahquitz Canyon Way/El Cielo Road approximately 600' to the east of Civic Drive.The nearest intersection to the west is a two-way stop-controlled intersection at Louella Road approximately 715'to the west of Civic Drive. The existing intersection is two-way stop-controlled with traffic on Civic Drive yielding to traffic on Tahquitz Canyon Way. There are no existing turn movement restrictions at the intersection. This signal warrant analysis covers the existing condition. No new projects are proposed near this intersection. ■ Data Collection Counts for this intersection were collected on February 4, 2016.Vehicle turning movement counts were collected from 6:00 AM through 6:00 PM. In addition, pedestrian crossings and bicycle crossings were also collected for the same time frame.The 2014 California MUTCD allows for bicycles to be counted as pedestrians or vehicles. Since there are existing bicycle facilities at the intersection,the bicycle counts were added to the vehicle counts as through movements. www.webbassociates.com - 05 ■ Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis A 2014 California MUTCD Traffic Signal Warrants Worksheet was completed using the collected traffic data. Although Tahquitz Canyon Way has a posted speed limit of 40 mph,a critical approach speed of 45 mph was used. The latest speed survey for Tahquitz Canyon Way showed an 851h percentile speed of 45 which was lowered to keep continuity of speeds through the roadway segment.The 2014 California MUTCD allows the use of the 85`h percentile speed in place of the posted speed limit when performing signal warrant analysis.Also, northbound and southbound traffic on Civic Drive are considered to have one approach lane in the warrant analysis due to the presence of on- street parking. Only count data from February 4,2016 were used in the traffic signal warrant analysis.Two of the nine traffic signal warrants were satisfied:Warrant 1(Eight Hour Vehicular Volume) and Warrant 2(Four Hour Vehicular Volume). Warrant 3(Peak Hour)was not satisfied as the traffic volume on Civic Drive was insufficient to satisfy the warrant. Similarly,the crossing pedestrian volumes(pedestrians crossing the major street)were insignificant and did not satisfy Warrant 4.Warrant 5 was not analyzed as the intersection is not close to a school. Warrant 6 was not satisfied due to the close proximity(600')of the signalized intersection of Tahquitz Canyon Way and El Cielo Road. Collision history for Warrant 7 was reviewed from January 2010 through January 2016.There were only 4 collisions during that timeframe which does not satisfy the warrant.Warrant 8 was not satisfied as Civic Drive is not a major route and is not expected to contribute significant traffic volumes in the future.Warrant 9 was not analyzed because the intersection is not near a grade crossing. ■ Conclusion The conclusion of this traffic signal warrant analysis indicates that the existing traffic at the intersection warrants a traffic signal at the intersection of Tahquitz Canyon Way and Civic Drive.
