project will allow staff to proceed with thisjoint Agency/City public project,with an estimated

BACKGROUND:
In February, 2002,Agency staff proposed constructing public improvements in the Sunrise
Way/Ramon Road corridor to correspond with the construction of the new Ralph's Center
at the northwest corner of the intersection. The Agency budgeted for the project in the
2002-03 year. An Agency capital project was preferable in many respects to entering an
Owner Participation Agreement with the private developer, Lundin Development.
Section 7.03.040 of the newly enacted 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. This project has
an overall cost of$350,000 and includes the following improvements:
Several improvements are planned, and include:
1. Street widening to General Plan ultimate width along Ramon Road and Sunrise Way,
and include new curb and gutter, sidewalk, driveway approaches, and bus turn-out.
2. Traffic signal modification at the Ramon Road and Sunrise Way intersection to facilitate
the street widening improvements.
