AGENDA TITLE: Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Traffic Signal Installation,
Turner Road and Mills Avenue
MEETING DATE: October 4, 1995
I U 10:11 LhIN =193 ffaVYLOMX4 R�t.77
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the above
project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project includes installing a traffic signal, street lighting, and
wheelchair ramps at the Turner Road and Mills Avenue intersection.
This intersection is on the California Public Utilities Commission list
with a preempted traffic signal as the recommended railroad
protection improvement. The City has an agreement (RRS-Y308-003) to install a preempted traffic
signal and Southern Pacific Railroad has a separate agreement (59R321) to install the necessary track
improvements and preemption circuits for the signal.
At its March 15, 1995 meeting, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with
TJKM Consultants for professional engineering services for this project. The consultant recently
completed the plans and specifications for the traffic signal design. Since Federal rail crossing
protection funds will be used to pay for the majority of this project, it was necessary for the City to
submit a design certification to Caltrans. Caltrans is in the process of reviewing our certification
application. Once approved, City staff will proceed with advertisement for bids. Construction is
anticipated to begin in late December or early January.
FUNDING: Budgeted Fund: $ 85,680 -Federal Funds
Current Appropriation: $ 45,000 - Development Impact Fee Program
Total Project Estimate $ 130,680
Planned Bid Opening Date: To be set by the Public Works Director
