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 Sunrise Way
and Sunny Dunes Road Traffic Signal Installation, City Project 02-25.
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$117,000.
BACKGROUND:
The Desert Chapel Master Plan, developed by Desert Chapel located at Sunrise Way
and Sunny Dunes Road, included additions to the sanctuary, construction of a new
multi-purpose building, library/administrative building, educational facilities, and parking
areas. A traffic impact study prepared for the Master Plan indicated the need for a traffic
signal at Sunrise Way and Sunny Dunes Road, for which Desert Chapel was partly
responsible.
Accordingly, conditions of approval included in the City Council's approval of the Master
Plan, Case No. 5.0788, PD-59, at its November 17, 1999 meeting, required that Desert
Chapel provide for the design of a traffic signal at Sunrise Way and Sunny Dunes Road,
and pay its proportionate share of $19,080 toward its construction. Subsequently,
Desert Chapel obtained the services of Albert Grover & Associates, who prepared the
required traffic signal installation plan, and also submitted the required proportionate
share payment to the City. This traffic signal is also budgeted as part of the Public
Works and Engineering Department's Fiscal Year 2002/2003 CIP budget.
The total estimate for the project is approximately $117,000. The funding source for this
project will be account number 134-4498-50208. 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 1, 2003.
