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.

DISCUSSION
A. 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.
