TITLE: APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS AND
AUTHORIZATION OF REIMBURSEMENT TO DEVELOPER
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A
TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT COLLEGE BOULEVARD AND
TAMARACK AVENUE (SOUTH)
DEPT. HD.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2004-136 appropriating $188,178 from the Public Facilities Fee
(PFF) fund and authorizing the Finance Director to reimburse Cypress Valley, LLC $1 86,678 for the
installation of a traffic signal at the southerly intersection of College Boulevard and Tamarack
Avenue, and pay GVP Consultants $1,500 for reimbursable auditing expenses.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Condition of Approval No. 32(m) of Calavera Hills Village Q (CT 83-32/PUD-62) per Planning
Commission Resolution No. 2292 requires the construction of a traffic signal at the southerly
intersection of College Boulevard and Tamarack Avenue. This traffic signal is included in the City’s
Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Therefore, Cypress Valley, LLC is eligible for reimbursement
for the construction costs.
On May 14, 2002, HMS Construction, Inc., was awarded a contract by Corky McMillin Construction
Services, Inc., in the amount of $111,850 for the construction of a traffic signal at the southerly
College Boulevard and Tamarack Avenue intersection. That contract was amended with a change
order for $53,015 on September 24, 2002 based on changes to the plans. HMS Construction
completed the work on October 11, 2002. Cypress Valley, LLC has submitted a request for
$192,678 of reimbursable expenses for the design and construction of the traffic signal.
The City CIP has budgeted $150,000 of Public Facility Fee (PFF) funds in 2006 for the installation of
this traffic signal, so no funds have yet been appropriated. A qualified auditing engineer,
GVP Consultants, was retained by the Engineering Department to review and analyze the submitted
expenses. The audit report provided by GVP Consultants indicates that the $186,678 of the
submitted expenses are adequately documented reimbursable expenses. Engineering staff concurs
with the report and recommends that Cypress Valley, LLC be reimbursed $186,678 for
the installation of the traffic signal at the southerly intersection of College Boulevard and
Tamarack Avenue, and that GVP Consultants be paid $1,500 for reimbursable auditing expenses.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A summary of the final project cost is as follows:
Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. 17,605
The Capital Improvement Program indicates a budget of $150,000 in PFF funds for the installation
of a traffic signal at the southerly intersection of College Boulevard and Tamarack Avenue, but no
funds have been appropriated. To reimburse Cypress Valley, LLC, PFF funds would have to be
appropriated in the amount of $1 88,178.
Changes in the City standard specifications have led to increased costs for traffic signals since the
budget amount was established.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Planning Commission approved a Negative Declaration for CT 83-32 on May 7, 1984.
The traffic signal was installed pursuant to the conditions of approval for CT 83-32.
