F>ehl�,� %�Aol REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR THE CITY OF COLTON For the City Council Meeting of July 17, 2001 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers APPROVAL: Daryl Parrish, City Manager FROM: Kathy Kivley, Interim Public Works Director Robb Steel, Redevelopment Director SUBJECT: Request to Solicit Bids for Construction of Traffic Signal at Hunts Lane and Cooley Drive. DATE: July 2, 2001 Background On February 1, 2000 the City Council adopted Resolution R- 08-00, which approved the appropriation and expenditure of certain Redevelopment Agency tax increment funds for the acquisition, installation and construction of various public improvements which benefit the Santa Ana River Redevelopment Project Area. Included in the list of projects was the construction a new traffic signal at the intersection of Hunts Lane and Cooley Drive. Discussion Contract documents and specifications for the project have been prepared by GTS Associates. The Engineer's estimate for the project is $150,957 including contingencies. The original construction cost estimate for this project was $146,406. Please refer to copy of the Engineer's construction cost estimate attached to the staff report as Exhibit "A." The scope of the work will include the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Hunts Lane and Cooley Drive. Since the City limits run down the centerline of Hunts Lane part of the signal improvements will be located in the City of San Bernardino and will require the issuance of an encroachment permit. Although part of the signal project will be located in and benefit the City of San Bernardino the entire cost of the project and the ongoing maintenance of the traffic signal will be the responsibility of the City of Colton. Environmental Impact Environmental review of the median project was done along with the various other public improvement projects proposed in the Santa Ana Project Area. The project was found to be exempt from CEQA. A copy of the environmental finding is attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
