RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 05-113, approving the plans and specifications for the Annual Major Maintenance Project, FY 2005-2006 (CIP 7001); the Annual Sidewalk Repair Project, FY 2005-2006 (project No. 402-6235); and the Williams Street Improvement Project (15600) (CIP No. 7187); and authorizing and directing the City Clerk to advertise for bids. FISCAL IMPACT The FY 2005-2006 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget provides $615,000 for the Annual Major Maintenance Project (CIP No. 7001), and $75,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the Williams Street Improvement Project (15600) (CIP No. 7187). The Public Works Department/Engineering Division Operating Budget provides $200,000 for the Annual Sidewalk Repair Project (Project No. 402-6235). The Annual Major Maintenance Project and the Annual Sidewalk Repair Project are part of the City's on-going Maintenance of Effort (MOE) obligation to maintain eligibility for Measure M funding. Total funding for the three projects is $890,000 and the engineer's construction cost estimate is $700,000. Approval of Plans and Specifications and Authorization to Advertise for Bids for the Annual Major Maintenance Project, FY 2005-2006 (CIP No. 7001); the Annual Sidewalk Repair Project, FY 2005-2006 (Project No. 402-6235); and the Williams Street Improvement Project (CIP No. 7187) November 21,2005 Page 2 DISCUSSION The subject projects were combined into one bid package to simplify the contract administration process and reduce duplication of effort in coordination between the projects. Combining these projects will also reduce disruption in the areas where the projects have construction impacts and facilitate contract administration efforts by City staff during construction. The FY 2005-2006 Annual Major Maintenance Project consists of asphalt concrete repair, asphalt concrete resurfacing, crack routing and sealing, and traffic striping and markings. This year's current phase of the street maintenance cycle is for streets within Zone 1 of the City's Pavement Management System. Zone 1 is generally bounded by the SR 55 Freeway on the west, Fairhaven Avenue and Santa Clara Avenue on the north, Prospect Avenue on the east, and Irvine Boulevard on the south. The majority of streets in Zone 1 are in good condition. Asphalt resurfacing is planned on Seventeenth Street from Carroll Way to Prospect Avenue (south), and Laurie Lane from Marshall Lane to Yorba Street. The FY 2005-2006 Annual Sidewalk Repair Project focuses on removal and replacement of damaged sidewalk to correct tripping hazards at approximately 70 locations throughout the City. It also includes some minor curb and gutter replacement to correct drainage problems at several locations. The Engineering Division has conducted a survey and evaluated locations where tree roots are causing sidewalk and curb and gutter damage. Some of these trees will be removed with the FY 2005-2006 project. These trees will be replaced either in kind or with a species more suitable to the parkway area. The City's tree maintenance contractor will perform the tree removals and replacements. The Annual Sidewalk Repair Project for FY 2005-2006 will fund the tree removals and replacements. The other major function of the Annual Sidewalk Repair Project is to provide a means for addressing improvements throughout the City to comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These locations are typically requested by citizens or are identified by City staff to provide for completion of missing segments of sidewalk and curb ramps to improve pedestrian access. The Williams Street Improvement Project consists of the removal of an asphalt berm and walkway and replacement with concrete sidewalk, curb, gutter and full width street paving on the east side of Williams Street at No. 15600. This improvement will yield a much enhanced street section for both pedestrians and vehicles across from the Robert Heideman Elementary School. Since these projects involve the replacement and repair of existing facilities with minor modifications, they are categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. Notices of Exemption for the subject projects have been prepared and recorded with the County of Orange. Since federal CDBG funding is involved, the Williams Street Improvement Project (CIP No. 7187) has also been reviewed and determined to be categorically excluded under the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) requirements.
