HEAD "RTJ CITY ATTY. CITY MGR. J RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2009-277 amending the City of Carlsbad Capital Improvement Program to include the El Camino Real and College Boulevard Intersection Improvement Project. ITEM EXPLANATION: On June 16, 2009 the City Council adopted Resolution 2009-143 adopting the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for 2009-10 and appropriating the 2009-10 budget requests. The 2009-10 CIP, as adopted, did not include an intersection improvement project for the El Camino Real and College Boulevard intersection. In response to ongoing development activity, staff has identified the need to add an intersection improvement project located at the El Camino Real and College Boulevard intersection to the City's Capital Improvement Program. The project will result in the widening of southbound El Camino Real to provide a left-turn lane, three through lanes, a bicycle lane and a dedicated right-turn lane to serve southbound El Camino Real to westbound College Boulevard. Staff has prepared a preliminary project design layout and a planning level estimate of the costs to implement the project. The estimated project costs are summarized below in Table 1. TABLE 1 ITEM OF WORK Planning and Design Right of Way Acquisition Construction Construction Management & Inspection Total Estimated Cost ESTIMATED COST $70,000 $35,000 $360,000 $50,000 $515,000 To facilitate the collection and appropriation of funds from developers that may be required to contribute funds for this project, staff recommends that the project be added to the City of Carlsbad Capital Improvement Program with an unfunded project budget of $515,000 and that the Finance Director be authorized to appropriate funds to the project when they are received from developers. DEPARTMENT CONTACT: Marshall Plantz 760-602-2766 marshall.plantz@carlsbadca.gov FOR CITY CLERKS USE ONLY COUNCIL ACTION: APPROVED DENIED CONTINUED WITHDRAWN AMENDED X D D D D CONTINUED TO DATE SPECIFIC CONTINUED TO DATE UNKNOWN RETURNED TO STAFF OTHER - SEE MINUTES D D D D Page 2 GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY This project is consistent with Circulation Element, Streets and Traffic Control, Goal A.2, A City with an adequate circulation infrastructure to serve the projected population; Goal A.4, A City with properly maintained, smooth functioning and safe traffic control systems; Objective B.1, To provide an adequate circulation infrastructure concurrent with or prior to the actual demand for such facilities; and Objective B.2, which requires streets to be designed for safe and efficient movement of people, goods and services within the city. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Environmental review for compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will be performed upon completing the preliminary design phase of the project. FISCAL IMPACT: The addition of the project to the CIP does not include the appropriation of funds at this time. As developers contribute funds for the project, those funds will be appropriated to the project accounts. Currently, the Carlsbad Unified School District will be contributing $350,000 towards this project reducing the unfunded portion to $165,000. In the future if insufficient funds have been collected from developers, the City may consider identifying supplemental funds from other transportation funding sources available to the City to fully fund the project. This project will be re-examined during the FY 2010-11 CIP process. EXHIBITS: Location Map.
