MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Dave Klotzle, City Engineer/Public Works Director DATE: January 4, 2013 (CC Meeting of 01/16113) SUBJECT: Consider Plans and Specifications and Authorization to Advertise for Construction Bids for the Widening of Los Angeles Avenue Between Maureen Lane and Leta Yancy Road (Project 8058) BACKGROUND The vacant property on the south side of Los Angeles Avenue between Maureen Lane and Leta Yancy Road was to be developed by Pacific Communities Builders as part of Tract 5053. That development would have included improvements to Los Angeles Avenue to widen the highway to its ultimate width and provide three through travel lanes in each direction. The developer's plans to construct this project have been deferred indefinitely. In July of 2003 the City Council considered a report which discussed ways and means for the City to undertake construction of this project in advance of the development of Tract 5053. Later, in June of 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2004-2203 amending the budget to provide $200,000 of funding from the Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution Fund (Fund 2501), for initial design efforts. Subsequent updates to the Capital Improvement Budget included appropriations from Fund 2501 for project design, construction and inspection. On February 21, 2007, the City Council awarded a consultant agreement to KOA Corporation (KOA) to complete the design of the project. KOA has completed the design and an encroachment permit has been issued by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for construction of the project. On September 19, 2012, the City Council authorized the City Manager to award a consultant agreement for construction management, inspection and material testing services to KOA Corporation. That agreement has been executed and KOA will be providing these services for the completion of the project.

Project Description The project includes widening the south side of Los Angeles Avenue and restriping to provide three through lanes in each direction and a center lane for left turns. A traffic signal warrant analysis at Shasta Avenue has shown that a signal is not warranted at this time and therefore is not included in this project. If the property on the south side of Los Angeles Avenue is developed, another traffic signal warrant analysis could be conducted to determine if a signal is needed at that time. The project also includes the construction of a protective concrete cap over the existing Calleguas Municipal Water District pipeline. Pacific Communities Builders has conveyed the right-of-way required for this project to the City. At the conclusion of the project, the right-of-way will be transferred to Caltrans. It's intended that the ultimate developer of the Pacific Communities Builders property will reimburse the LA AOC for the cost of these improvements as part of an amended or new development agreement. Construction management, inspection and materials testing services will be provided by KOA. The project plans and specifications have been completed and a copy has been placed on top of the file cabinet in the City Council Conference Room. The design of the project complies with applicable requirements of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. The City Engineer/Public Works Director has reviewed the entire record for the widening of Los Angeles Avenue between Maureen Lane and Leta Yancy Road (Project 8058), including the plans and specifications for the widening of Los Angeles Avenue between Maureen Lane and Leta Yancy Road (Project 8058). It is the City Engineer/Public Works Director's professional opinion that the plans and specifications prepared by KOA relating to the widening of Los Angeles Avenue between Maureen Lane and Leta Yancy Road (Project 8058) were designed in accordance with reasonable, professional engineering judgment, and with due consideration for public safety.
