CITY OF LO D I COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Traffic
Signal and Lighting Installation at Cluff Avenue/Victor Road
MEETING DATE: April 3, 1991
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for
the above project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of the installation of a new traffic -
actuated traffic signal with left turn phases (arrows) on
Highway 12 and minor pavement widening at the north side of
the intersection for right turning vehicles.
This project has been delayed for a number of reasons:
° The Southern Pacific Transportation Company (SPTC) railroad crossing protection
adjacent to the intersection needed to be upgraded in order to install a traffic
signal; this required revision of the Public Utilities Commission crossing list,
processing an agreement through Caltrans and SPTC, and installation by SPTC.
° During the above processing, it was found that no formal street crossing easement
had ever been obtained for Cluff Avenue; this agreement also needed to be
processed.
° The signal plans and specifications and a right-of-way certification needed to be
reviewed and approved by Caltrans.
We have received Caltrans approval to advertise the project subject to our making
some minor changes to the plans and specifications.
