TITLE. -* AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR
BIDS FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF
BEACH ACCESS STAIRS AT OCEAN STREET AND
CHERRY AVENUE, PROJECT NO. 3511
AND MAKING AN APPROPRIATION THEREFOR
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 98-49 approving plans and specifications and authorizing the City
Clerk to advertise for bids for the reconstruction of the existing beach access stairs at Ocean Street
and Cherry Avenue, Project No. 3511.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Staff recommends approval of the plans and specifications to reconstruct the existing beach access
stairs at the north end of Ocean Street and the stairway from Carlsbad Boulevard to the seawall at
Cherry Avenue. Both of these stairways are suffering from corrosion of the reinforcing steel which is expanding the concrete causing severe cracking. In some areas of the Cherry Avenue stairs, the
concrete has completely separated from the reinforcing.
Reconstruction will require temporary closing of both stairs during the construction period. It is anticipated the reconstruction work will be completed by July 2, 1998. Reconstruction of these
stairs is necessary to maintain safety for the public using them.
The Coastal Development Permit (CDP 97-50) originally was conditioned to have reconstruction of
the stairs completed prior to the Memorial Day weekend. The CDP is on the Planning Commission
agenda for March 4, 1998 to have this time frame extended to the Fourth of July weekend.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
On December 17, 1998, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4211 approving a
Coastal Development Permit (CDP 97-50) for the project. On December 19, 1997, a Notice of Exemption for a Categorical Exemption (Section 15301 Class 1 (d)), was issued by the Planning
Director in compliance with Section 21152b of the Public Resources Code (California Environmental
Quality Act).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Engineer’s Estimate to complete this project is:
Construction $111,000
Construction Contingency (20%) $22,200
Project Administration & Inspection (10%) $11,100
PROJECT,TOTAL $144,300
Funds for the Cherry Avenue Stair Reconstruction were scheduled for next fiscal year from TransNetiLocal funds. In order to construct the project at this time, it will be necessary to borrow $100,000 from the General Fund. These funds will be reimbursed to the General Fund next fiscal
year. The Ocean Street Stair Reconstruction will be funded from GCC funds that have been appropriated for this project. With the transfer of the $100,000 from the General Fund, sufficient
funds will be available in the project account.
