AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS - TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION AND
MODIFICATION AT VARIOUS INTERSECTIONS
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of November 19, 1984, adopt the
attached Resolution approving the plans and specifications for installation and
modification of traffic signal improvements at various intersections and directing
the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
BACKGROUND:
The approval of-the 1984-85 Capital Improvement Budget included the installation
of a new traffic signal facility at the intersection of Walnut Avenue and
Cherrywood Lane in the amount of $58,500.00.
This installation at Walnu~ Avenue and Cherrywood Lane will help reduce the
current problem of westbound motorists detouring through the two adjacent '
residential developments in order to bypass the four-way stop intersection during
the P.M. traffic hours.
DISCUSSION:
The attached Resolution provides f°'r th-e-approval of plans and specifications for
the installation and modification of traffic signal improvements at the following
locations;
New installation at Walnut Avenue and Cherrywood Lane
Modification at Walnut Avenue at Oxford Avenue
Modification 'at Walnut Avenue at Browning Avenue
Modification at Walnut Avenue at Franklin Avenue
and, directs the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
In order that all four above mentioned signals along Walnut Avenue can be
synchronized in a progressive manner, it will be necessary to modify the existing
facilities at the three above mentioned intersections. These modifications will
consist of time clock installations within the existing controllers to provide for
synchronization between the intersections to provide the minimum amount of
stoppage along Walnut Avenue. Ultimately, a hardwire interconnect will be
utilized along Walnut Avenue when funds are available. This interim modification
utilizing time clocks will be more than sufficient during the interim period.

The estimated cost for the new installation is $63,700.00 and the cost to modi'fY
the three existing intersections is $3,750.00 for a total estimated project cost
of $67,450.00. Depending upon the outcome of the competitive bid process, it may
be necessary to budget additional funds for this project. The exact amount, if
any, will be determined after bids have been opened.
The following is a tentative schedule for this project:
