RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2003-’124 approving plans and specifications and authorizing the City Clerk to
advertise for bids for the construction of the Cannon Road and Car Country Drive Traffic Signal, Project No.
3906-1.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
As part of the conditions of approval for the Car Country Expansion project (CT 87-03), Carltas Development
Company was required to bond for the current construction cost of a traffic signal at the intersection of Cannon
Road and Car Country Drive. No traffic signal was installed at the time of development since the traffic
conditions did not warrant its installation. With the recent completion of Cannon Road from Faraday Avenue
to Frost Avenue, drivers have the ability to use Cannon Road from Carlsbad Boulevard to El Camino Real. As
a result, the traffic volumes on Cannon Road have increased and a traffic signal is now necessary to assign
right-of-way at this location.
The intersection of Cannon Road and Car Country Drive was ranked #2 on the City of Carlsbad Traffic Signal
Qualification List contained in the 2002 Traffic Signal Evaluation Policy and meets six of the eleven Caltrans
Traffic Signal Warrants. Plans and specifications to install the traffic signal at this location have been
corn pleted.
ENVIRON M ENTAL REV1 EW:
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 1530(f). A Notice of
Exemption will be issued by the Planning Director after this Authorization to Advertise is approved.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Per the requirements of the aforementioned developer agreement, $92,000 has been collected from Carltas
Development Company for the construction of a traffic signal at Cannon Road and Car Country Drive. Traffic
signal construction costs have increased since the developer agreement was signed and additional funds are
needed to complete this project. At the October 22, 2002 City Council meeting, funds totaling $125,000 were appropriated from the General Capital Construction fund for this project. The funds needed to complete the
project are $1 17,000. The project cost breakdown is as follows:
Total Appropriation Amount $1 25,000
Amount Available for Construction $121,920
Design Costs $3,080
Engineer’s Estimate of Construction Inspection & Proiect Administration (15%) $13,500 $901000 I .~ Construction Contingencies (I 5%) $1 3,500
Total Construction Cost $1 17,000
There are sufficient funds appropriated in the General Capital Construction fund to complete this traffic signal
project.
