ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR THE "A" STREET AND MOUNTAIN VIEW DRIVE
RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS BETWEEN FIRST STREET AND IRVINE
BOULEVARD (CIP NOS. 700145 AND 700146)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Tusfin City Council, at their meeting of July 21, 1997, adopt Resolution No.
97-72 approving the plans and specifications for the "A' Street and Mountain View Drive reconstruction
projects between First Street and Irvine Boulevard and authorizing and directing the City Clerk to advertise
for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Engineer's construction estimate for this project is $264,560.00 (-A,, .Street) and $221,070.00
(Mountain View Drive). The proposed 1997-98 FY Capital Improvement Program Budget allocates
$336,000.00 for reconstruction of "A' Street and $258,000.00 for Mountain View Drive from the CIP
fund.
BACKGROUND
This project provides for the' reconstruction of the existing street pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk and
driveway entrances along with the replacement of overgrown parkway trees and the addition of residential
street fighting along both affected streets.
Over the years, the severe damage to the existing street improvements was mused by the root system of the
large (mainly Ficus) trees. In order to protect the new improvements, this project provides for the removal
of the existing trees which have very invasive roots and the replacement with a tree species which has a
confined root system.
Staff received resident feedback about the sensitive tree removal issue via various survey requests and also.
by means of a public information workshop which was held for these projects. The response received from
the residents of "A' Street preferred a phased tree replacement plan in order to preserve the tree canopy;
while the residents of Mountain View Drive' generally preferred a one-time replacement of the huge trees
with another species.
