AND TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT RANCHO SANTA F 1EPT.L ROAD AND MELROSE DRIVE
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 8$-Jsf approving plans, specifications, and contract documents, authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids for the construction of road improvements and installation of a traffic signal system at Rancho Santa Fe Road and Melrose Drive, and appropriating project funds.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On March 22, 1988, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-85 approving an agreement between the City of Carlsbad and the County of San Diego for joint participation in the construction of road improvements and the installation of a traffic signal system at Rancho Santa Fe Road and Melrose Drive.
The plans, specifications, and contract documents for this project have been completed and are now ready for advertisement of construction bids. The installation of the traffic signal will
allow vehicles on Melrose Drive to make protected and unobstructed
turns onto Rancho Santa Fe Road. The signal will also provide left turn phasing for vehicles northbound on Rancho Santa Fe Road to westbound Melrose Drive. The road improvements will include the construction of a widened travel lane, varying in width from 1-10 feet on the east side of Rancho Santa Fe Road from Melrose Drive
This to approximately 660 feet north of the intersection. additional pavement will accommodate a transitioning lane drop as the road narrows from two (2) lanes to one (1) lane.
Staff recommends approval of the project plans and specifications and authorization to advertise for bids for the construction of the pro j ect .
FISCAL IMPACT:
In accordance with the previously approved agreement between the
City and the County of San Diego, the County will contribute up to
$47,000 to the project. County contribution is to be made to the City within 25 days of the award of the construction contract. Staff recommends the City Council formally appropriate to the project account the $47,000 of County contribution.
The City Council has previously budgeted and appropriated $125,000 of Public Facilities Fee funds in the 1987-88 Capital Improvement Program budget for this project. With the County contribution, a total of $172,000 is available for this project which is believed to be in excess of the total funds needed to construct the traffic
signal system and the accompanying road improvements.
