ENGINEER'S REPORT
EXHIBIT "A"
QUINTARD STREET SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS
1911 ACT
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
AD 2002-1
AUGUST 2, 2004
Backe:round
Quintard Street between Third and Fourth Avenues in Chula Vista is a residential street
with an 80-foot width of right-of-way. It connects at a diagonal to Orange Avenue near
its intersection to Fourth Avenue. The South Chula Vista Library is located at this
intersection. Existing improvements generally consist of asphalt concr~te pavement with
gravel shoulders. There are full street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) at 1388
El Lugar Street (at Quintard Street) and adjacent to all properties on the north side of
Quintard between El Lugar and Third Avenue. Additionally, two properties on the south
side of Quintard Street, 317 Quintard and 1408 Third Avenue, have full improvements.
In December 2001 sixteen Quintard Street property owners submitted a petition to the
City requesting the initiation of proceedings to form an assessment district in accordance
with the Improvement Act of 1911. This district would finance the construction of the
missing curb, gutter and sidewalk and other street improvements on the north and south
sides of Quintard Street.
The City currently has a policy regarding participation in 1911 Block Act proceedings.
According to this policy, the City will provide all engineering, inspection, and
administrative services at no cost to the property owners. It is the City's responsibility to
relocate or replace all existing public improvements, which would be in conflict with the
new improvements, including utilities. Additionally, due to the use of Quintard Street as
an access road to the South Chula Vista Library, the City has decided to pay for costs
associated with construction of the additional shoulder and the curb, gutter and sidewalk.
These costs would not be assessed to the property owners.

The project area and general location of improvements are shown on the Assessment
Diagram for Assessment District 2002-1, Quintard Street. The properties, which will

The improvements included within this district consist of the reconstruction of the asphalt
concrete pavement section, construction of monolithic curb, gutter and sidewalk, and
installation of streetlights and new mailboxes. The five-foot wide sidewalk was
constructed to match the existing sidewalk at the intersection of Quintard Street and
Orange Avenue. Where driveways were located, a driveway apron was constructed to
provide a transition between the street, the sidewalk and the driveways.
In addition to the street and sidewalk improvements, the City had coordinated with the
utility compauies for the underground relocation of all overhead utilities along Quintard
Street. This work was conducted prior to the construction of street improvements.
The total estimated construction cost was $239,882, including the City's share. The
lowest bid for this project was $206,291.50, as shown on Table 1. The amount allocated
to the property owners was estimated at $67,976, which included only the cost of
constructing the driveway aprons.

Method of Apportionment
Costs must be apportioned to each property in proportion to the benefit received by that
property. In apportioning the cost of street improvements, it can generally be assumed
that the property adjacent to the improvements will receive the direct benefit. The
adjacent properties would be most likely to use the improvements, particularly with
respect to the driveway aprons. Additionally, construction of street and sidewalk
improvements generally results in increased property values for the adjacent residences.
For this project, the City agreed that the sidewalks and street improvements should be
financed by the City due to the use of the street and sidewalk as a general public route to
the South Chula Vista Library. It is generally the City's policy to pay for replacement of
existing improvements and City staff costs related to planning, design, surveying and
construction inspection. Therefore, the only cost that was to be paid by the property
owners is the cost of constructing tþ.e driveway aprons. This is Item #5 on the cost
estimate, 6" PCC Driveways, and has a total estimated cost of$67,976.
Only those properties, which would benefit !Tom the new driveway aprons !Tonting
Quintard Street were included in the assessment district. Thus 398 Quintard Street,
which has direct access to Fourth Avenue, was excluded. Similarly, 394 and 396
Quintard Street were excluded !Tom the district because field inspections indicated that
these residents were crossing a gravel area adj acent to Orange Avenue.
The cost for driveways used by two properties was split between these properties. The
most unusual situation pertains to the property at 364 Quintard (APN 619-290-87-00),
which does not !Tont Quintard Street. However, access to this parcel is provided by a
long driveway to the west side of the property at 360 Quintard (APN 619-290-86-00).
Therefore, a portion of the driveway apron at this location was allocated to 364 Quintard
based on the width of the asphalt driveway.
The breakdown of construction costs among the seventeen properties within the district is
shown on Table 2. For each property, the square footage of driveway apron was
individually calculated. The calculation was broken into two parts: the actual driveway
and the wing area on each side of the driveway, which provides a transition between the
driveway and the sidewalk.

The amounts to be assessed to the property owners based on the final construction costs
can thus be compared to the amounts estimated in the Preliminary Engineer's Report as
follows:
