City Council Meeting REPORT ° °"`Y''` 2-( 199g MOORPAR , - Rno r,0W<J with TO: The Honorable City Council BY. a4 +1 Moorpark Redevelopment Agency FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works DATE: January 13, 1998 (CC Meeting: 1- 21 -98) SUBJECT: Consider Selection of an Engineer to Prepare the Design for a Project to Widen Casey Road EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This requests approval of the selection of a Civil Engineering firm to prepare the design for a project to widen Casey Road west of Walnut Canyon Road. DISCUSSION A. Conceptual Design In July of 1997 the City Council reviewed and approved a conceptual design proposed by the Moorpark Unified School District (MUSD) for Casey Road. That action established certain street design criteria for this street which is summarized as follows: 1) curb -to -curb width: 48'; 2) right -of -way width: 611; 3) one 12' wide travel lane in each direction; 4) one 12' wide combined parking / Bike Lane in each direction; 5) a 6k' area between the curb and the right -of -way line (both sides of the street) to accommodate sidewalks and retaining walls. Although the conceptual design submitted by MUSD provided a suggested alignment, no action was taken with respect to the alignment of the road or the placement of the right -of -way lines or the curbs. B. School District Project MUSD is in the process of constructing an Elementary School on property located just west of the Boys and Girls Club. That project includes the construction of street improvements (street widening, curb, gutter and sidewalk) along a portion of the south side of Casey Road. It is the understanding of staff that the cssey2 000001 Casey Road Design January 21, 1998 Page 2 scope of work for those proposed street improvements is to include that portion of the south side of the street along the frontage of the school property, plus that portion of the south side of the street adjacent to the Boys and Girls Club Gymnasium. Said work is to include moving the curb to the south, relocating the Gym door from the north facade to the west facade and removing the stairway to the existing door. The MUSD project calls for the southerly street right -of -way line along the frontage of the gymnasium, to be moved to the building facade. This design, which has been approved by the Boys and Girls Club, will require the Boys and Girls Club to convey approximately eleven feet (111) of street right -of -way to the City along this portion of their property. With this action the street right -of -way in this area will increase from 40' to 511. An additional 10' will be required to be conveyed by the property on the north side of the street to attain full -width street improvements. This future widening is expected to be addressed as a part of the Specific Plan No. 1 project. The MUSD project calls for the curb face along the gymnasium frontage to be located 6 1 north of the building facade, or street right -of -way line. With these improvements the street width in this area will increased from the existing 28' to approximately 371. When the north side improvements are constructed the curb -to -curb dimension will increase to 481. The MUSD project calls for the center line and all right -of -way and improvements east of the gymnasium to transition to the south. Toward the easterly end of the project almost all of the required additional 21' of street right -of -way is to be conveyed by MUSD. There are no street improvements proposed by MUSD east of the Gym or at the intersection of Casey Road and Walnut Canyon Road. The City has previously expressed our concerns regarding this matter to MUSD officials. As stated above, the curb -to -curb dimension along the frontage of the gym will be 371. This street width will sharply transition down to the existing 28' of pavement just east of the gym. C. City Project It is the recommendation of staff that the City proceed with a project to construct improvements to the south side of Casey Road between the Gymnasium and Walnut Canyon Road, along the frontage of the remainder of the Boys and Girls Club property. One possible funding source for this project would be Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. casey2 O V 0 V2 Casey Road Design January 21, 1998 Page 3 D. Request for Proposals Staff has prepared and distributed a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the preparation of the civil engineering design for this project. The Engineering services requested includes both the development of alternative conceptual plans and the preparation of final plans and specifications. It is suggested that design costs be funded by the Moorpark Redevelopment agency (MRA). A review of the proposals received is discussed below. E. Alignment Alternatives The RFP requires development of a number of alternative conceptual designs to assist in efforts to determine the final alignment of the road and the right -of -way requirements. The three options to be considered are: 1) full 21' take from the north side of the street (take existing house); 2) partial take form each side of the street (11' for south side and 10' from north side (eliminates driveway); and 3) full 21' take from the south side (modify Boys and Girls Club parking lot). F. Right -of -Way Acquisition Upon completion of the conceptual designs and selection of the preferred alternative, the City Council will be asked to authorize staff to proceed with acquisition of the required right -of -way. G. Environmental Clearance As soon as the scope of the project is clearly defined, staff will prepare documents required to obtain environmental clearance. It is believed that this project will be eligible to receive a National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) clearance. H. Left -Turn Lane @ Walnut Canyon Road It should be noted that if alignment No. 1 (full take from north side) is selected and acquisition of right -of -way is deferred to be done by the developer of Specific Plan No. 1, the scope of the south side widening would be limited to the area immediately east of the gym. No additional street width would be provided at the intersection of Casey Road and Walnut Canyon Road. In such case it would not be possible to add a dedicated left turn lane. If either of the other two alignment options are selected, sufficient additional street width will be added to allow for the addition of a dedicated left -turn lane. casey2 O K 003 Casey Road Design January 21, 1998 Page 4 I. On- Street Parking It should also be noted that none of the above described alternative alignments for improvements to the east end of Casey Road will allow for on- street parking. The parking /bike lanes required by the approved design standard (Section A above) cannot be provided until the north side improvements are constructed by the developer of Specific Plan No. 1. J. Proposals RFPs were distributed to five (5) civil engineering firms. The City is in receipt of proposals form two (2) firms. Both firms are qualified to provide the required services. A review of the proposals indicate that both firms understand the requirements set forth in the RFP. The total fee quoted by each firm is as follows: Charles Abbott Associates (CAA): $10,600 M3 Civil Inc. $41,050 Staff recommends selection of CAA to provide these services. K. CDBG Funding As mentioned above, one possible funding source for this project is CDBG funds. In order to use this funding source it will be necessary for staff to seek approval of a revision to the approved survey area for the use of these funds. If approved, these funds will be restricted to construction costs only. All engineering, right -of -way acquisition and other related costs must be funded from other sources. L. Budget Amendment It is recommended that design engineering and other related costs for this project be funded by the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency. Attached is a draft Resolution amending the FY 1997/98 MRA Budget to fund the initial design, right -of -way acquisition and related costs. The initial amount requested is $15,000. RECOMMENDATIONS City Council: Direct the City Engineer (Charles Abbott Associates) to prepare the design for the Casey Road widening project and authorize the City Manager to execute necessary contract documents.

Discussion: The Redevelopment Agency Board had budgeted for the demolition of the Agency owned building located at 226 High Street. A total of $6,050.00 was budgeted for the demolition work. On December 2, 1997 a contract was signed with All Contractors. Inc. of Moorpark for the demolition of a building, grading of the site and construction of a wood fence in the amount of $5,795.00. A notice to proceed was issued on December 4, 1997. Two change orders were approved for the demolition project. The first was for construction of an additional five (5') feet of wooden fence between the gate and the adjoining building to the west for better security and aesthetics, in the amount of $175.00. The second change order was for an additional three (3) loads of decomposed granite in the total amount of $750.00 which was needed to create grading that would prevent rain water from flowing into the buildings at 220 and 222 High Street. The per load cost 250.00) was in the initial bid proposal. The final project cost was $6,720.00. The work required by the contract has been completed and permits have been finalized.
