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

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.
