INSTALLATION
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 Racquet Club
Road and Avenida Caballeros Traffic Signal Installation, City Project 02-17.
SUMMARY:
Section 7.03,040 of the Procurement and Contracting Code 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. The requested approval will allow
staff to proceed with this public project, with a total estimated cost of$130,000.
BACKGROUND:
This traffic signal was originally budgeted as part of the Public Works and Engineering
Department's Fiscal Year 2002/2003 CIP budget. However, this project was postponed
to the 2003/2004 Fiscal Year to allow for use of the project's funds for the Gene Autry
Trail and Ramon Road Median Landscaping Project, City Project 00-01, awarded by the
City Council at its April 2, 2003, meeting.
The plans and specifications for this project were prepared by Engineering Division staff.
The total estimate for the project is approximately $130,000. This intersection was
evaluated and found to meet state traffic signal warrants for collisions, interruption of
continuous traffic and peak hour volumes in 2003. This project is funded from Local
Measure A revenue funds, account number 134-4498-50207 (Traf Signal Rclub &
Cabal). This action is being brought before Council to be in compliance with the
Procurement and Contracting Code. Upon Council's approval with this action, staff will
schedule bid advertisements, with a bid opening date of December 16, 2003.
