RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. aool-da~ approving plans and specifications and authorizing
the City Clerk to advertise for bids for the construction of the Carlsbad Village Drive and Pontiac
Drive Traffic Signal, Project No. 3847-l.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Plans and specifications to install a traffic signal at the intersection of Carlsbad Village Drive and
Pontiac Drive have been completed. This intersection meets Caltrans traffic signal warrants, was
ranked #5 on the City of Carlsbad 2000 Traffic Signal Qualification List, and the project was included
in the 1999/2000 Capital Improvement Program for construction.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project is a Class 1 categorical exemption and is, therefore, exempt from the environmental
review process under provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
Section 15301 (f). A Notice of Exemption will be issued by the Planning Director if this Authorization
to Advertise is approved.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds needed to complete the project are $156,000. The project cost breakdown is as follows:
Engineer’s Estimate for Construction $120,000
Inspection & Project Administration (15%) $18,000
Construction Contingencies (15%) $18,000
Total Project Cost $156,000
Amount Available $82,450
Additional Fundina Reauired $73.550
The original estimate for this project allocated $85,000 for design and construction. The design
portion of the project is complete and, to date, funds in the amount of $82,450 are available for the
remainder of the project. The Engineer’s Estimate is based on an analysis of recent bids for traffic
signal construction. Due to an increase in construction activity, construction costs have risen
significantly from what was originally appropriated for this project. Therefore staff is requesting an
additional appropriation of $73,550 from the General Capital Construction Fund (GCC).
