Agenda Report
The Honorable City Council
Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
November 10, 2003 (Council Meeting 11- 19 -03)
Subject: Consider Approving the Conceptual Design for the Civic
Center Driveway Improvement Project [Project 8053]
DISCUSSION
A. Background
In September of this year the City Council approved a new
project to construct certain improvements at the Civic Center
site to improve vehicular access. Project 8053 was
established with a preliminary funding amount of $30,000.
B. Tentative Project Scope
The tentative scope of the project involves two components:
1) the widening and re- striping of Moorpark Avenue driveway
to provide a left /thru plus a right only lane for egress
traffic; and
2) the construction of site modifications to facilitate
ingress and egress traffic between the west end of the
Library parking lot and High Street, through the old
Mobile Home park.
C. Conceptual Design
The City has retained the services of a civil engineer [The
Keith Companies] to prepare the design for this project. A
copy of the draft conceptual design for the project is
attached as Exhibit 1.

D. Conceptual Approval
The purpose for bringing this matter to the City Council at
this time is to provide the City Council an opportunity to
comment on the design prior to preparation of the final
plans. It is recommended below that the City Council approve
the conceptual design, subsequent to receipt of any design
input.
E. Caltrans Permit
Upon completion of the draft final design, it will be
necessary for staff to seek and obtain a Caltrans permit for
the work to be done at the Moorpark Avenue entry. That permit
will be made a part of the bid documents.
F. Final Design Approval
When completed, the final project plans and specifications
will be brought back to the City Council for approval. At
that time staff will also request authorization to advertise
for receipt of bids.
G. Schedule
It is the intent of staff to seek City Council approval of
the project plans in January of 2004 and award a construction
contract in March.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the conceptual design for the subject project.
