Gilbert, Director of Public Works Date: December 7, 2001 (Council Meeting 12- 19 -01) Subject: Request from Carlsberg Ranch (Tracts 4973 & 4974) for the Reimbursement of Developer Costs for the Construction of Certain Improvements Funded by the , Spring Road / Tierra Rejada Road Area of Contribution (STR AOC) DISCUSSION A. Background The Spring Road /Tierra Rejada Road Area of Contribution (STR AOC) was established to fund the construction of a number of street improvement projects along those two arterial streets. Certain of those improvements, located within and adjacent to the Carlsberg Specific Plan area, were constructed by the developer of Tracts 4973 and 4974 -- Simi - Conejo, Inc.. B. Request for Fee Reimbursement Simi - Conejo, Inc. has requested reimbursement of a portion of STR AOC fees previously paid by them, in order to refund costs incurred by them for the construction of the above mentioned "AOC- funded" improvements. The amount of the requested reimbursement is as follows: • Construction Costs: $589,240.00 • Plan checking & Inspection $ 35,869.60 $625,109.60 C. City Engineer's Opinion of Costs 1. Cost Estimate: In July of this year the City Engineer prepared an opinion of cost (see Exhibit 1) for the "AOC- funded" street improvements constructed by Simi- Conejo. The specific portions of the work that are included in this estimate are listed as follows: • Median curb, surfacing, landscaping, irrigation and median soil conditioning; CarlsberReimburse 010813 Carlsberg AOC Fee Reimbursement December 7, 2001 Page 2 • Turn lanes within the fourteen feet (141) wide median; • Traffic signal modifications at the intersection of Peach Hill and Spring; and • Traffic signal installation at the intersection of Tierra Rejada and Miller Parkway. 2. Excluded Costs: The construction elements listed in Exhibit 1 include only those items customarily associated with installation of the identified "AOC- Funded" improvements constructed by the developer. Other costs cited in the developer's request were disallowed [Example: Costs for drainage facilities adjacent to the median were disallowed because the drainage intercepted by those facilities would have needed to be intercepted in any case and because the selection of curve radii and resultant need for superelevation of the curves and resultant drainage problems were the choice of the developer's engineer.] 3. Adjustment to 1998 Costs: The unit prices used in the chart attached as Exhibit 1, reflect July 2001 costs. The total was reduced to reflect costs as of December 1998 by calculating a ratio of the Engineering News - Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index (CCI) current at the time of construction, to the current CCI, said ratio being calculated as follows: December 1998 CCI = 6851.95 = 0.9472 July 2001 CCI = 7233.90 The estimated value of the construction of reimbursable expenses, including design, plan review, inspection, construction and construction administration, at the time of construction is calculated as follows: $632,162.12 x 0.9472 = $598,783.95. 4. Comparison: The developer has requested a reimbursement amount of $625,109.60. The difference between the City Engineer's estimate of costs and the requested reimbursement amount is 4.4 %. This amount is well within the range acceptable for estimates. It is recommended, therefore, that the requested amount of $625,109.60 be approved. D. Fiscal Impact The current fund balance for the STR AOC Fund [Fund 2502] is as follows: Description Amount ($) Fund Balance as of December 10, 2001 587,764 Less Outstanding Loan from L. A. Ave. AOC Fund (1,675,105) Net Fund Cash Value (1,087,341) CarlsberReimburse_010813 Carlsberg AOC Fee Reimbursement December 7, 2001 Page 3 Staff has performed an analysis of the anticipated future revenues to the STR AOC and has determined that there will be sufficient revenues to construct the programmed projects and to repay the above mentioned loan from the Los Angeles Avenue AOC Fund. E. Reimbursement Schedule In consideration for undertaking the "early" construction of the above described "AOC- funded" improvements, it is the recommendation of staff that the requested refund of the cost of those improvements, be refunded prior to the re- payment of the above mentioned inter -fund loan from the L. A. Ave. AOC Fund. RECOMMENDATION Authorize staff to reimburse Conejo -Simi Properties $625,109.60 for street improvements constructed on behalf of the City, said payment to be made upon receipt of payment of Spring Road / Tierra Rejada Road AOC fees by one or more developers of the Commercial /Industrial property located at the southeast and southwest corners of New Los Angeles Avenue and Miller Parkway.
