TO: JEFFREY C. PARKER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: DOUGLAS S. STACK, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZE NEGOTIATION
OF A CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER WITH R. J. NOBLE COMPANY FOR A
TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON NEWPORT AVENUE
SUMMARY
The plans and specifications for a new traffic signal on Newport Avenue at the main entry to the
R.D. Olson hotel project are being prepared for immediate construction subject to final approval by
the City Engineer.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 13-21 approving the plans and specifications subject to final
engineering approval by the City Engineer;
2. Amend the adopted Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 to include the
Newport Avenue Signal at this location;
3. Authorize the City Engineer to negotiate a contract change order with R.J. Noble Company
for the Newport Avenue Signal installation, based upon bid pricing for similar work under
contract and mobilized for the Tustin Ranch Road Phase 2 Roadway Improvements,
subject to final approval by the City Manager; and
4. Appropriate $250,000 from unencumbered land sale proceeds in Fund 189 and authorize
the City Manager to expend said funds in an amount not-to-exceed $250,000 for signal
design, installation, construction engineering, and inspection.
FISCAL IMPACT
The engineer's estimate for the traffic signal design, installation, construction engineering and
inspection is $250,000. Ultimately, the total actual cost for the signal installation will be
proportionately shared by the adjoining developable parcels of Pacific Center East. Accordingly,
R.D. Olson has agreed to a one-third proportionate share of actual costs. Funding is available
from land sale proceeds in Fund 189 and the developer's proportionate share will be deposited
back to the fund based on actual expenditure. Future developer proportional share will be included
within any associated land sale transaction of adjoining parcels.
DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
A traffic signal on Newport Avenue at the entrance to the R.D. Olson hotel project is warranted in
conjunction with the additional retail uses on the site. R.J. Noble is currently completing the Tustin
Newport Avenue Signal Project

Ranch Road Phase 2 Roadway Improvements, including several traffic signalized intersection
installations. The negotiated price of this signal is expected to be competitive with current signal
contract prices. The construction of the traffic signal can best be accomplished prior to the majority
of hotel and retail occupancy occurring in August-September to minimize disruption to the
increased traffic anticipated. Proceeding in this fashion will advance the signal installation by
approximately 4.5 months. Typical lead time for signal poles is approximately 16 weeks once
engineering shop drawings are approved and the order is placed for fabrication and delivery.
