APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION
TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS - RED HILL AVENUE MEDIAN
LANDSCAPING FROM EDINGER AVENUE TO WALNUT AVENUE
(CIP NO. 7124)
SUMMARY
This project will install landscaping, irrigation, and brick pavers within the existing median islands.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 00-45 approving the plans and
specifications for the Red Hill Avenue Median Landscaping from Edinger Avenue to Walnut
Avenue (CIP No. 7124), and authorizing and directing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT
The engineer's estimate for construction is $185,000. The City's Capital Improvement Program
budget for FY 1999-2000 included funding for both the median landscaping as well as the
recently completed street rehabilitation project. A request for an additional $110,000 in funding
as part of the FY 2000-2001 Capital Improvement Program is required to cover the construction
costs for the median landscaping.
BACKGROUND
The first phase of work on Red Hill Avenue between Edinger Avenue and Walnut Avenue, as
shown on the attached location map, was the street rehabilitation project which was completed
in May 2000. This project also included the replacement of the median island curbs and the
removal of the existing turf, trees and irrigation systems.
The median landscaping project is the second phase of work, and will replace the landscaping
with drought tolerant shrubs and trees. A Iow flow irrigation system will be installed which will
also eliminate runoff onto the street. Brick pavers will be utilized as the hardscape treatment at
the ends of the median islands. These design components have been developed through the
coordination of the City's design consultant, Robert Goto & Associates, the Community
Development Department, and the Public Works Field Services Division.
