HUSTON, CITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR THE PHASE V REGIONAL TRAil PROJECT (CIP NO. 7085) SUMMARY The plans and specifications for the Phase V Regional Trail Project (CIP No. 7085) have been prepared and the project is now ready to be bid. Phase V is the final phase of the regional trail system in East Tustin located between lower lake Drive and Peters Canyon Road. A Notice of Exemption has been recorded with the County of Orange for the project as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 04-94, approving the plans and specifications for the Phase V Regional Trail Project (CIP No. 7085) and authorizing and directing the City Clerk to advertise for bids. FISCAL IMPACT The FY 2004-2005 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budget provides $300,000 for the construction of the Phase V Regional Trail Project (CIP No. 7085). Project funding will be provided through Re-Assessment District 95-1 funds. DISCUSSION The proposed Phase V Regional Trail Project will complete the final segment of Orange County's Regional Riding and Hiking Trail in East Tustin. The proposed trail consists of an approximately 1,000 foot extension of the existing regional trail which includes a ten (10) foot wide asphalt paved bicycle trail and a ten (10) foot wide decomposed granite multi-purpose trail separated by a landscaped buffer. The project is necessary to meet the City's obligation under the County of Orange Regional Riding and Hiking Trail and Regional Bicycle Trail Agreement (Agreement) executed on May 19, 1992. Per the Agreement, the City is responsible for construction of the trail improvements. Upon completion of the trail improvements, the trail will become the responsibility of the County to own and maintain while the landscape maintenance will be the responsibility of the City. The City has obtained County approval of the design and an encroachment permit has been issued by the County for construction of the improvements. Phase V Regional Trail (CIP No. 7085) December 6, 2004 Page 2 The project is categorically exempt under CEQA requirements because the work involves the extension of an existing trail facility with only minor grading and construction. A Notice of Exemption was recorded with the County of Orange on February 19, 2004.
