AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Public Works Standard Plans and Authorizing City
Engineer to Make Changes
MEETING DATE: March 6, 2019
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving Public Works Standard Plans and
authorizing City Engineer to make changes.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For more than 50 years the Public Works Department has
maintained a set of standard plans. The standard plans are a set of
drawings that show specific construction details that contractors
must follow to properly construct public improvements in a consistent manner.
Additionally, certain funding sources require that the standard plans be approved by the City Council in
order to be used on a project. This Council action will satisfy this requirement.
From time to time, standard plans must be modified to accommodate new regulations and/or to reflect
changes in construction methodology. It is common practice for the City Engineer to authorize these
changes. This Council action formalizes City Engineer authority to modify the standard plans, as
appropriate.
The current Public Works Standard Plans are on file in the Public Works.
Staff recommends approving Public Works Standard Plans and authorizing City Engineer to make
changes.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
