TUSTIN COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
DALE A. WICK, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND DRIVEWAY MODIFICATIONS AT TUSTIN HEIGHTS SHOPPING
CENTER ENTRANCE AT IRVINE BOULEVARD AND OLD IRVINE BOULEVARD
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency, at their meeting of December 16,
1985, by minute order, indicate their concurrence with proceeding with subject
work with R.J. Noble Company as the general contractor and, in addition,
appropriate an additional $'10,000.00 in RDA funds to cover increased Agency share
costs subject to execution of Agreement between both.parties.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has been working with the manager/owner of the Tustin Heights Shopping
Center to improve subject entrance. Through previous negotiations it was agreed
that the Agency would participate in construction costs with the manager/owner
acting as the contracting agency. Eighteen thousand four hundred dollars
($18,400.00) in RDA funds were appropriated in the F.Y. '85-'86 Budget as the
estimated Agency share of costs.
Early in 1985, the Engineering Division prepared plans and specifications for the
proposed modifications and turned them over to the owner/manager so that he could
obtain bids for the work. Three bids were obtained as follows and as indicated on
the attached bid tabulation:
Contractor Bid
R. J. Noble Company
Sully-Miller Contracting Company
Allstate Paving Co., Inc.
$46,642.67
48,242.25
49,421.15
Although the low bid is $7,139.00 below the Engineer's estimate of $53,782.00, the
Agency share has increased from the original anticipated $18,400.00 to $28,212.20
based on the contractor's unit price bid on items that it was previously agreed
that the Agency would participate in. In addition, some design changes during the
plan preparation contributed to increased Agency costs.

The new construction provides for a wide radius type driveway entrance with a
median divider in the driveway to separate travel lanes. In addition, the travel
lanes at the driveway will now line up with the existing travel lanes of Old
Irvine and the severe grade differential between the street and the Tustin Heights
parking lot has been smoothed out so that vehicles can ingress and egress the
driveway without "bottoming out".
