SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR THE PROSPECT AVENUE AND
BENETA/AMAGANSET WAY TRAFFIC SIGNAL CIP NO. 4077
SUMMARY
The plans and specifications for the Installation of a Traffic Signal at Prospect Avenue and
Beneta/Amaganset Way CIP No. 4077 have been prepared and the project is now ready to be bid.
Construction of the project is primarily funded with state legislated Safe Routes to School (SR2S)
funds.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 10-02 to approve the plans and
specifications for the Installation of a Traffic Signal at Prospect Avenue and Beneta/Amaganset
Way CIP No. 4077; and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Capital Improvement Program Budget provides a total of $303,050 for
the project. The SR2S program is providing $254,045 to pay for ninety percent of the traffic signal
construction cost. The City is utilizing $49,005 of Measure "M" Turnback funds to fund the City's
ten percent share of construction cost.
DISCUSSION
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has approved funding in the amount of
$254,045 for a traffic signal at the intersection of Prospect Avenue and Beneta Way/Amaganset
Way under Cycle 8 of the state legislated Safe Routes to School Program. On March 26, 2010
Caltrans allocated funds and authorized the City to bid the project. Plans and specifications have
been prepared and the project is now ready to be bid.
A traffic signal at this location will provide the assignment of right-of-way to pedestrians, bicycles
and vehicles taking access to the intersection. It will be particularly effective during school hours,
as it will serve students from both Helen Estock Elementary School and Columbus Tustin Middle
School. As part of the project, the existing curb ramps will be upgraded to meet current Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) Requirements.
