STACK, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZE ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE MEDIAN LANDSCAPE REHABILITATION PROJECT CIP NO. 10074 SUMMARY The plans and specifications for the Median Landscape Rehabilitation Project CIP No. 10074 have been prepared and the project is now ready for bid. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 17-27 approving the plans and specifications for the Median Landscape Rehabilitation Project CIP No. 10074, and authorize the City Clerk to advertise to receive bids. FISCAL IMPACT Funding in the amount of $3,653,155 has been budgeted and appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Capital Improvement Program for the Median Landscape Rehabilitation Project. A constructability review of the plans and specifications has been completed and the engineer's estimate is $3,100,000. CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN The project contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal B: Public Safety and Protection of Assets, to ensure Tustin is an attractive, safe and well maintained community in which people feel pride. Specifically, the project implements Strategy #3, which among other items, is to ensure continuous maintenance and improvement of public facilities. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND On April 1, 2015, the Governor of the State of California issued Executive Order B-29-15, imposing strict temporary water use restrictions to mitigate the effects of severe drought conditions that continued to persist throughout the state. Among other restrictions, the Order prohibits the irrigation with potable water of ornamental turf on public street medians. Subsequently, Executive Order B-37-16 "Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life" was issued on May 9, 2016, making permanent many of the orders and provisions included in previous Emergency Proclamations and Executive Orders, including the prohibition of irrigation of ornamental turf in public street medians. In compliance with the Order, the Median Landscape and Rehabilitation Project (CIP 10074) will remove dead median turf along Irvine Blvd. between the SR -55 Freeway and Old Irvine Blvd., along First St. between the SR -55 Freeway and Newport Ave., and along Newport Ave. between Wass St. and McFadden Ave., and replace with drought tolerant plant material and water efficient Median Landscape Rehabilitation Project CIP No. 10074 August 1, 2017 Page 2 irrigation systems. Also included in the project are removal of existing substandard height median curbs and replacement with full height curbs, installation of median pavers and decorative hardscape, and utility relocations.
