HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION SUBJECT AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE BIDS - JAMBOREE ROAD MEDIAN AND SLOPE LANDSCAPE/IRRIGATION IMPROVEMENTS RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Tustin City Council approve the plans and specifications for landscape and irrigation improvements for the median islands and cut slopes along Jamboree Road between Tustin Ranch Road and the northerly City limits and direct the City Clerk to advertise for bids with the adoption of Resolution No. 93-4. BACKGROUND: As part of the Tustin Ranch Development, Assessment District No. 86-2 was formed to fund certain elements of the required infrastructure improvements. The installation of landscape and irrigation improvements along Jamboree Road within the median islands and on the adjacent cut slopes were initially included within the scope of improvements for the district. These remaining landscape and irrigation improvements extend from Tustin Ranch Road northerly to Santiago Canyon Road (relocated) within the jurisdiction of the City of Orange. The subject bid advertisement includes only that portion located within the City of Tustin between Tustin Ranch Road and the northerly City limits. The Irvine Company has recently completed the perimeter landscape area between the curb and gutter and the garden wall along this same segment of Jamboree Road. DISCUSSION: The proposed bid advertisement provides for both landscape and irrigation improvements within both the median islands along Jamboree Road and on the adjacent cut slopes. The tentative construction schedule for this project is as follows: City Council Authorization to Advertise for Bids .............................

Jamboree Road Median and Slope Landscape/Irrigation Improvements January 19, 1993 Page 3 The median landscape will consist of plant material that is consistent with the medians southerly of Tustin Ranch, which consist of pine trees, eucalyptus trees and turf. The slopes will be landscaped with native type ground cover and shrubs, which will help to minimize erosion. It is anticipated that the routine maintenance of the cut slope areas will be funded by the Tustin Landscape and Lighting District and the routine median island maintenance will be funded by City general fund monies under a private enterprise contract. Both the Irvine Company and the developers in Tract No. 13627 of the Tustin Ranch area have been requesting the completion of these landscape improvements at the earliest possible date. ;6;e, .0 '4:� �� Robert Ledendecker Director of Public Works/City Engineer RL:ccg:jamrdmed Attachment 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 RESOLUTION NO. 93-4 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR MEDIAN ISLAND AND CUT SLOPE LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION IMPROVEMENTS ALONG JAMBOREE ROAD BETWEEN TUSTIN RANCH ROAD AND THE NORTHERLY CITY LIMITS WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council of the City of Tustin, California to contract construction of Jamboree Road median island and cut slope landscape and irrigation improvements; and WHEREAS, the City Engineer has presented plans and specifications for the construction of said work: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the plans and specifications presented by the City Engineer be and are hereby approved as the plans and specifications for: Median island and cut slope landscape and irrigation improvements along Jamboree Road between Tustin Ranch Road and the northerly City limits.
