HomeMy WebLinkAbout4/2/2003 - STAFF REPORTS (6) DATE: April 2, 2003
TO: City Council
FROM: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
VARIOUS CITYWIDE TRAFFIC SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS
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 Various
Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements, City Project 00-37.
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$330,000.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works and Engineering Department has grouped together a number of
different locations where traffic signal improvements are warranted or necessary to
provide more efficient traffic circulation. The following locations are currently budgeted
for improvements, and are included in the scope of this project:
Bid Schedule A: South Palm Canyon Drive at La Plaza; provide signal phasing for traffic
exiting the La Plaza parking lot. Currently, this is an illegal traffic stop; it is not
consistent with traffic standards to have a stop sign and signal operation at the same
location. This specific improvement was made for the La Plaza at Indian Canyon Drive
as part of the Indian Canyon Drive traffic signal interconnect project.
Bid Schedule B: South Palm Canyon Drive at Ramon Road; provide split signal phasing
to allow increased volumes of westbound traffic to move through the intersection.
Bid Schedule C: East Palm Canyon Drive at Cerritos Road/Smoke Tree Lane; provide
permissive/protected left-turn phasing. Traffic signal warrants have been met for left-
turn phasing at this location for the volume of traffic turning into the Smoketree shopping
center. However, staff is proposing permissive/protected phasing to facilitate more
efficient traffic circulation and avoid traffic delays due to protected only left-turn phasing
during off-peak hours.
Bid Schedule D: Farrell Drive at Baristo Road; this location includes the widening of the
southwest corner to ultimate location to facilitate an additional east-bound traffic lane, as
well as installation of permissive/protected left-turn phasing in each direction. Traffic
signal warrants for left-turn phasing have been met in each direction at this location,
specifically at peak hours when the Palm Springs High School classes begin and end.
Additionally, restriping of Baristo Road from Pavilion Way to Farrell Drive will facilitate
increased and more efficient traffic circulation.
Bid Schedule E: Farrell Drive at Alejo Road; this location currently has protected left-turn
phasing on Farrell Drive. However, analysis of the traffic volumes at this location
indicate the protected only phasing is not necessary. Staff is proposing that this signal
Various Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements
April 2,2003
Page 2
be modified to have permissive/protected left-turn phasing on Farrell Drive to facilitate
more efficient traffic circulation and avoid traffic delays due to protected only left-turn
phasing.
Bid Schedule F: Indian Canyon Drive at San Raphael Road; this location currently has
protected left-turn phasing in each direction, decreasing the efficiency of this traffic
signal to move traffic volumes through the intersection. Staff is proposing that the
protected left-turn phasing be eliminated on San Raphael Road since protected phasing
warrants are not met (permissive left-turn phasing will result), and to provide
permissive/protected left-turn phasing on Indian Canyon Drive to facilitate more efficient
traffic circulation and avoid traffic delays due to protected only left-turn phasing.
Bid Schedule G: Ramon Road at El Placer; this location currently has protected left-turn
phasing on Ramon Road. However, analysis of the traffic volumes at this location
indicate the protected only phasing is not necessary. Staff is proposing that this signal
be modified to have permissive/protected left-turn phasing on Ramon Road to facilitate
more efficient traffic circulation and avoid traffic delays due to protected only left-turn
phasing.
Bid Schedule H: South Palm Canyon Drive at East Palm Canyon Drive; this location
occurs on a radius bend on Palm Canyon Drive. Traffic continuing on South Palm
Canyon Drive is not controlled by the existing intersection. Analysis of this intersection
shows an unsafe condition for pedestrian traffic attempting to cross this leg of the
intersection. Staff is proposing the addition of a signal phase to allow for a protected
pedestrian crossing at this location.
The total estimate for the project is approximately $330,000. The funding sources for
this project will be from gas tax revenue: account numbers 133-4298-50145 (Upgrade
Pedestrian Signals), and 133-4298-50204 (Traffic Signal Flow Improvements); and from
local Measure A revenue: account numbers 134-4498-50204 (Traffic Signal Flow
Improvements), 134-4498-50206 (Traf Sig Mod EPC@SPC@Ramon), and 134-4498-
50209 (L-Turn Phase Farrell@Baristo). 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 April
29, 2003.
