SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS - TUSTIN RANCH ROAD
LANDSCAPING ADJACENT TO THE LAURELWOOD DEVELOPMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council adopt the attached resolution
approving plans and specifications for the installation of
Landscape and Irrigation improvements along Tustin Ranch Road
adjacent to the Laurelwood Residential Development.
BACKGROUND:
As a part of the street improvements along Tustin Ranch Road
between Walnut Avenue and the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway the
Laurelwood Development perimeter wall was reconstructed to
provide an improved screening of the roadway from the Laurelwood
residential area. This wall was reconstructed on a small
earthen berm and relocated easterly to provide additional height
and realignment to follow the profile grade of Tustin Ranch Road
in lieu of the residential development. This wall now joins the
sound walls being constructed with Tustin Ranch Road/I-5
interchange project. These wall improvements and street
improvements were constructed by the Irvine Company as a part of
the conditions of approval of the Irvine Industrial complex
which was developed in the mid 19701s.
DISCUSSION:
The relocation and construction of the screenwall requires
certain landscape and irrigation improvements be installed and
modified on the Laurelwood side of the wall. These improvements
fall both within of excess public right-of-way and on private
property. The landscaping and irrigation on the Laurelwood
property requires replacement due to damage that was sustained
during the grading of the berm and the construction of the wall.
It is anticipated that maintenance of the excess public right-
of-way area will be done by the Laurelwood Homeowner's
Association through a reimbursement agreement between the City
and the Homeowner's Association.
Funding for this Landscape/Irrigation installation and
replacement has been budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program
Budget for 1990-91. The engineer's estimate for this project is
$122,400.00. Depending upon the actual bid amount received, it
may be necessary to make a supplemental budget appropriation.
This can be determined at the time bids have been received and
a contract award is made.
The tentative schedule for this project is as follows:
