SUBJECT: SECO CANYON ROAD LANDSCAPING - PROJECT NO. B4001
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt the plans and specifications, and authorize that Seco Canyon Road
Landscaping - Project No. B4001 be advertised for bids.
BACKGROUND
In the FY 98-99 Annual Budget, Council authorized the landscaping of the median between
Seco Canyon Road and the Seco Canyon (Service) Road. See the attached Project Location Map.
Plans and specifications for this project are complete, and are available for review in the City
Clerk's Office.
Results of the public participation process for this project indicated a very strong preference for
more of a "screening" effect than the 50 percent stamped concrete/50 percent landscape ratio
incorporated on previous projects. The agreed-upon concept for this project therefore consists
of five shrub varieties and two tree varieties. No stamped concrete is proposed for this project.
Shrub varieties chosen for the project include dwarf rosemary and acacia ground covers (up to
2 foot height), a medium-sized abelia (4 to 5 foot height), and larger -sized privet (5 to 7 foot
height). Fountain grass has also been included in select areas for accent purposes.
Tree varieties chosen for the project include the purple -leaf plum and the crape myrtle.
Unfortunately, the project cannot support larger -sized trees due to the fact that the median also
serves as a utility corridor with some utilities (including a 5 -foot diameter storm drain) as close
as 18 inches to the surface.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
No alternative actions identified by staff.
