[ 12 ] CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: June 19, 1 973 ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Council Authorize Expenditure of Reserve 2107 Gas Tax Funds for Improvement of West Bay Boulevard between "L" Street and Palomar Street - Gas Tax Project #163 INITIATED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer ~~ BACKGROUND We have been working with the San Diego Gas & Electric Company to accomplis the improvement of West Bay Boulevard along the frontage of the South Bay Generating Plant. This has been complicated by the fact that West Bay Boulevard is separated from SDG&E property by the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Coronado Branch Railroad. The railroad refused to participate in the installation of the improvements. SDG&E in a letter dated December 21, 1971 agreed to pay $24,723.30 toward the improvements. In discussions with gas company staff, it was indicated that they prefer a lump sum pay- ment and are not necessarily interested in a typical agreement which would provide for refunding any balance or the payment of any overage as compared with the estimated cost. On January 18, 1972, the City Council by minute action authorized the appropriation of approximately $8,000 from the 2107 Unexpended Gas Tax funds for participating in the improvement of West Bay Boulevard with SDG&E Company. Total cost of th.e project was estimated at $32,723.30; $24,723.30 of which was t~ Le paid for by SDG&E Company. Estimate was based upon the cost of installing curb and gutter, street lights and pavement to the centerline of West Bay Boulevard. It was determined during preparation of the final plans, subsequent to soils and materials investigation, that the existing pavement structural section is failing in many areas and that it is not strong enough to carry (continued on supplemental sheet) ATTACHED: Resolution [X] Ordinance [ ] Agreement [ ] Plat [X] See EXHIBITS [X] No. 1,2 Financial Statement: Total estimated cost of project $56,723.30 Cash deposit by SDG&E -24,723.30 Amount budgeted 72-73 Gas Tax 2107 funds - 8,000.00 Additional requested expenditure 2,000.00 Commission-Board Recommendation: N.A. Department Head Recommendation: 1. Council authorize the additional expenditure of Reserve 2107 Gas Tax Funds in the amount of $24,000, making the total authorized expenditure of $32,000 for constructing the above project. 2. Authorize Director of Public Works to advertise for bids. City Manager Recommendation: Concur ~~>~, AGENDA ITEM NO 12 Supplemental Page No. 2 BACKGROUND (Continued) future traffic needs. We suspect that failure of the existing pavement was due in part to the heavy truck and construction traffic generated by the construction of the I-5 Freeway. The freeway construction has occurred since the preliminary estimate was figured. The final plans call for the removal and replacement of the existing pavement with a designed structural section of 3" A.C. on 4" of base material. This increases the amount of pavement to be replaced by approxi- mately 570 over that amount figured in the preliminary estimate. Also, consideration was not given to the installation of necessary drainage facilities such as: 1. Culverts under West Bay Boulevard; 2. Grading of the drainage channel between West Bay Boulevard and the Coronado Branch Line of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway. Based upon final plans and quantities, the engineer's estimate of the total project cost is approximately $56,723.30, San Diego Gas & Electric Company made a cash deposit of $24,723.30 on May 29, 1973 with the City Finance Officer for their portion of the improvements. Total cost to the City is therefore expected to be approximately $32,000. An additional amount of $24,000 must be expended from Reserve 2107 Gas Tax Tax funds to cover the City's cost of the project.. A transparency is available for Council viewing. ~' ~ _. f~ _..
