The City has made a strong commitment to this systematic program as a means of constructing its sidewalks in a logical order. Priority was given to school areas. This program utilizes a formula based on such factors as current pedestrian traffic, cost factors and proximity to public facilities. This program is effective in prioritizing sidewalk projects. This contract will complete important sidewalk links on Chestnut Avenue and Valley Street near Valley Junior High School and Carlsbad High School. This project will also include; construction of curb, gutter, pedestrian curb ramps, and some road widening in areas where the existing road width is below city standards. Approximately 2000 feet of sidewalk, I,51 5 feet of curb and gutter will be constructed on Valley Street from Basswood Avenue to 300’ west of Oak Street. On Chestnut Avenue from El Camino Real to 300’ west of Donna Drive, approximately 2080 feet of sidewalk and 1,725 feet of curb and gutter will be constructed. Relocation of Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) owned facilities that conflict with the above mentioned improvements will be relocated to accommodate the new construction. This project is one in a continuing group of sidewalk and street construction projects. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project is categorically exempt from the environmental review process under Section 15301 Class 1 (C) of the Public Resources Code (California Environmental Quality Act). FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost to complete this project is: Construction (Engineer’s Estimate) $380,000 Construction Contingency (15%) $57,000 Project Administration & Inspection (10%) $38,000 PROJECT TOTAL $475,000 Traffic Impact Fees and Trans Net/Local funds totaling $770,000 are currently available for this project.
