RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2006-158 approving contract documents, special provisions and
specifications, and authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids to perform College Boulevard
Medians Irrigation and Landscape Upgrades, Contract No. PKS 06-03.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Upgrades are needed to the median planting and irrigation system along College Boulevard, between
Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real. The original planting for these medians consisted of
drought tolerant ground cover shrubs and riparian type trees. The tree and shrub species are not
especially well suited for the same planter due to differences in water needs. The irrigation is a drip
system that exacerbates this issue, and results in poor tree growth. The current condition of the trees
is less than acceptable to City standards, and not aesthetically pleasing in general.
The proposed project will replace the current Sycamore Trees with Holly Oak Trees and spot re-plant
Natal Plum shrubs as needed. The Holly Oak Tree species is more compatible with watering needs of
the Natal Plum shrubs, and are consistent with the tree plantings within the adjacent Golf Course
Project.
The original drip irrigation system is aging, and in need of being retrofitted. The irrigation portion of this
project will remove portions of the older drip system; install selective new irrigation laterals lines,
valves, and regulators; and provide upgraded drip emitters/irrigation components.
The Engineer's Estimate for these improvements is $140,500. Contract documents and plans are on
file in the Public Works/General Services office. This project will address the Council Goals as
described below.
