RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve and adopt the plans, specifications and
working details, and authorize advertisement for construction bids for the Calle Amigos
Street Improvement Project, City Project 03-13.
SUMMARY:
Section 7.03.040 of this ordinance requires that Council 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 project will allow staff to proceed with this public
project, with an estimated cost in excess of$200,000.
BACKGROUND:
On April 2, 2003, the City Council approved the 2003/2004 Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program, which included the Public Works and Engineering Department's
application for construction of Calle Amigos Street Improvements. Calle Amigos, between
Ramon Road and Sunny Dunes Road lacks improvements along the east side, adjacent
to the Ramon Mobile Home Park. This street also lacks full improvements on the west side
from Camino Amapola to Ramon Road, and is in general disrepair.
The proposed improvements will install new curb and gutter and street widening along the
entire east side of Calle Amigos, including standard driveway approaches to the multiple
access points along Calle Amigos into the Ramon Mobile Home Park. Intersection
improvements are also planned for Calle Amigos at Camino Amapola and Camino
Primrose. These improvements have been detailed in plans and specifications prepared
by staff. The Engineer's estimate for this project is approximately $200,000.
Section 7.03.040 of the Procurement and Contracting Code requires that for public projects
in excess of $100,000 Council approve and adopt the plans, specifications and working
details, and authorize staff to advertise for construction bids. The Engineer's Estimate for
this project is approximately$200,000. Funding for this project will be available through the
CDBG revenue funds ($202,900) appropriated for this project as part of the 2003/2004
CDBG Program. Funds are established in account 137-4804-63543 (PSPubWks&Eng-
Calle Amigos).
