RECtlMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 695 approving plans and specifications, authorizing advertisement for bids for the construction of waterline improvements to El Camino Real from Chestnut Avenue to Hosp Way.
ITEM EXPLANATION
This project is a joint venture between the City of Carlsbad and the Carlsbad Municipal Water District. The proposed City improvements include the widening of the northbound lanes of El Camino Real between Chestnut Avenue and Elm Avenue. Also included will be the installation of fully landscaped medians to City, standards.
The CMWD portion of the project includes installation of enlarged waterline facilities in El Camino Real from Chestnut Avenue to Hosp Way. The project is being developed as a joint effort between the City and CMWD to take advantage of construction economies, efficiency of construction management and inspection services, and enable all improvements to be installed under a single traffic control and construction plan.
The plans, specifications, and contract documents for the improvements have been recently completed and are ready for advertisement for construction bids. Staff recommends the Board of Directors approve the plans and specifications and authorize the advertisement .of construction bids. Construction of the improvements will begin in February 1991. A companion item before the City Council will be considered on the same agenda to authorize the City's expenditure for the project.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

20, 1990, finding the proposed development not to have a signi- ficant impact on the environment and that the project is in compliance with the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act and the Environmental Pro- tection Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY:
The City Planning Commission, by action on October 17, 1990, has determined that the proposed improvements are consistent with the Carlsbad General Plan.
