MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Sean Corrigan, City Engineer/Public Works Director
DATE: 06/05/2019 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Update on Princeton Avenue Improvement Project and Discussion
with Caltrans District 7 Director, Mr. John Bulinski, P.E.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
During the last year, Caltrans completed a year-long, comprehensive environmental
review process for this former State Highway. This is required by the Federal Highway
Administration when federal funds are involved. Following that milestone, staff
submitted the plans and specifications for review. The review comments generated by
Caltrans staff were addressed in the second plan check, and delivered to Caltrans on
March 18, 2019. We were required to provide fifteen sets of design plans so that
extensive reviews can occur concurrently to save time. We expect to receive comments
this month. The City’s contractor accomplished pavement repairs of the worst portions
of the road in January 2019 and staff continues to make spot repairs as needed.
City staff is nearly in position to submit extensive right of way documents for review by
Caltrans staff. Four new “permission to enter forms” are required from Princeton
Avenue residents to temporarily allow the City’s contractor to enter the property to
construct a sidewalk and driveway approach to the edge of the residential properties.
These permissions were originally obtained some years ago but state/federal
procedures/forms have been changed.
As soon as the plans receive final approval and the right of way documents are
approved, City staff will ask Council for approval to seek bids. In this interim period, the
City’s website will be updated with progress reports on this project.
Caltrans District Director Mr. John Bulinski has agreed to discuss the Princeton Avenue
Improvement Project and other matters with the City Council at the June 5, 2019 regular
meeting. Prior to the discussion, Mr. Corrigan will make a brief oral report on the status
of the Princeton Avenue second design review.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Princeton Avenue Improvement Project will utilize $1.1 million of federal funding.
Caltrans has extended the deadline for this funding to June 30, 2020. At that time, all
reviews must be complete so that Caltrans Headquarters can issue the authority to
proceed to construction.
The City has already funded right of way acquisition and design from the Los Angeles
Area of Contribution (AOC) Funds received from developers. The estimated remaining
cost of construction is fully funded from the federal funding detailed above and the
remainder from approximately $6 million from the Los Angeles Area of Contribution
(AOC) Funds received from developers.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council discuss the progress of the project at Caltrans with
Mr. Bulinski and other matters they deem appropriate and provide guidance to staff.
