Item to be presented by:
CONSENT CALENDAR John E. Medina
DATE: April 23, 1991
SUBJECT: DECORO DRIVE FROM VISTA DELGADO DRIVE TO SECO CANYON ROAD
PROJECT NO. 89-9 (PHASE II) - ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BACKGROUND
The widening of Decoro Drive (Phase I) from Seco Canyon Road to Vista Delgado
Drive was completed on January 15, 1991.
Phase II of this project provides for the widening of the bridge over Dry Creek
Channel on the north side of Decoro Drive and joining improvements to the east
and west. of the channel. This phase has been delayed because of right-of-way
which must be acquired from a Homeowner's Association within the County to
complete the improvements. Negotiations for the right-of-way has taken longer
than expected.
In a previous Council discussion, a proposal was made to utilize the existing
channel as a pedestrian undercrossing at Decoro Drive during the dry season.
Staff made inquiries to the Los -Angeles County Public Works Department and were
advised that the potential for liability would not allow such a request to be
granted. However, a pedestrian overpass at Decoro Drive and Vista Delgado Drive
has been included in the Five -Year Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year
1991-92 but is unfunded.
The amount of $802,000 has been budgeted in Account No. 25-96029-227 to cover
the cost of Phases I & II. An accounting of Decoro Drive (Phase I) expenditures
has been completed, and based on the Engineer's estimate for Phase II,
sufficient funds are currently available to complete construction of Phase II of
this project within budget.
Plans and specifications for -this project are available for review in the
offices of the City Clerk.and the Director of Public Works.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the plans and specifications for Phase II, and authorize advertising for
bids.
