APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS - TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION AT PIONEER
ROAD AND PIONEER WAY (CIP NO. 4060)
II IIII II I I III III II I I IIIII II III I I
SUMMARY
This project provides for the installation of a traffic signal at Pioneer Road and Pioneer Way. The
traffic signal will alleviate some of the traffic congestion experienced during the weekday peak
hours. Design is complete and the plans and specifications are now ready for public bidding.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 01-11 approving plans and
specifications for the traffic signal installation at the intersection of Pioneer Road and Pioneer
Way, and authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Engineer's estimate for this project is $131,420.00 and will be funded through the City's FY
2000/2001 Capital Improvement Program (ClP) budget and a developer contribution, which was a
condition of approval for Tentative Tract Map No. 14396.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 14396 included a condition that required the developer to
contribute $75,000.00 for the design and construction of a traffic signal at the intersection of
Pioneer Road and Pioneer Way. The intersection is currently controlled with ail-way stop signs.
The traffic study for the tentative tract map project indicated that a traffic signal was needed at this
location to assign right-of-way, particularly in the weekday A.M. and P.M. peak hours. The traffic
study also identified the developer's fair share contribution of the signal costs.
With the opening of Pioneer Middle School located at the southwest corner of Pioneer Road and
Pioneer Way and the Progression of development of the residential tract at the north end of
Pioneer Road, significant traffic congestion has been observed at the subject intersection. Recent
traffic count data and input from the Tustin Police Department has determined the need for the
timely construction of this signal.

The traffic signal has been designed with protected/permissive left-turn phasing to provide off-
peak hour convenience for drivers in this area. The signal will also provide a separate walk phase
in all directions for pedestrian use during the daily school starting and ending times. The traffic
signal includes a preemption device to provide for emergency access for the'Fire Station located
at the southeast corner of this intersection. The construction work will include all labor, materials,
tools, equipment, and incidentals for the subject project as detailed on the plans and specifications
for this project.
