TITLE: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS,
FOR TRAFFIC SIGNALS AT ELM AND MONROE
DEPTmHD.

CITY MOR.&
I
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 9060 approving plans and specifications
and authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids for the
construction of traffic signal systems at the intersections of
Elm Avenue and Monroe Street, and Alga Road and Corintia Street.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The firm of Herman Kimmel and Associates has prepared bid
drawings and specifications for the two (2) referenced traffic
signal systems. Staff requests the Council approve the plans and
specifications and authorize the advertisement of bids for the
construction of the signal systems.
The intersection of Elm and Monroe is presently controlled by a
four-way stop. It is anticipated that the extension of Elm
Avenue to El Camino Real coupled with completion of the Calavera
Hills Park project and present and future development in the
Calavera Hills area will substantially increase intersection
traffic. Elm Avenue following its extension between Donna Drive
and El Camino Real will become the major east-west link to the
downtown area, Interstate 5, and the beaches. The City's Traffic
Engineer has determined that the intersection will meet warrants for a traffic signal in the near future. The intersection
improvements include removal of painted stops, restriping,
pedestrain ramps, and replacement of a short section of sidewalk.
Due to the steep vertical curve, an advance flashing beacon will
be installed west of the intersection on Elm Avenue to alert
eastbound drivers.
Contract documents for the Elm and Monroe signal require
construction to be completed within seventy-five (75) days of
issuance of the Notice to Proceed unless the City accepts a
deductive alternate for ninety (90) days.
On December 2, 1986, the City Council approved the construction
of a traffic signal system at the intersection of Alga Road and
Corintia Street. Plans and specifications for the construction
of this signal system are now complete. Staff recommends the
Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize the
advertisement of bids for the project.
Contract documents for the Alga and Corintia signal system
require construction to be completed within sixty (60) days of
issuance of the Notice to Proceed unless the City accepts a
deductive alternate for seventy-five (75) days.

Improvement Program budget in Account No. 320-820-1840-3257 for
the construction of the traffic signal system at the intersection
