SUBJECT: SIERRA HIGHWAY AX RAINBOW GLEN DRIVE
PROJECT 89-18 - DVERTISE FOR BIDS
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BACKGROUND
Project No. 89-18 provides for the installation of traffic signals at Sierra
Highway and Rainbow Glen Drive. Under the terms of Cooperative Agreement
No. 3973 between the City and the State of California, the agreement provides
for the City to design and administer -the construction contract under a permit
issued by Caltrans. Since two legs of the intersection are under the State's
jurisdiction and one leg is in the City, the construction and maintenance costs
will be prorated two-thirds to the State and one-third to the City. The traffic
signal system is to be maintained by the State.
The amount of $62,000 has been budgeted for the City's share of this project in
Account No. 25-96042-227.
Plans and Specifications for this project are complete and available for review
in the offices of the City Clerk and the Director of Public Works
There has been considerable interest from the residents of the Rainbow Glen area
and the Council regarding the construction of this project. Since this is a
State Highway, we have been attempting to convince Caltrans of the extreme
priority of the project but have had less success than we had hoped. However,
the following information will provide a chronology of events. The project is
expected to be awarded on April 9, 1991. After the contractor procures the
equipment and materials for the project, a notice to start construction will be
issued by mid-July. The traffic signal system should be, operational by late
August.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the plans and specifications and authorize the project to be advertised
for bids.
