CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT:
Approval of plans and authorization to advertise for bids - installation of traffic
signal at Tippecanoe A venue and Central Avenue/Palm Meadows Drive, per Plan
No. 9647.
BACKGROUND:
Installation of traffic signals at this intersection has been planned for several
years. It serves the golf course and is a southerly entrance into the former
Norton Air Force Base. However, installation of these signals was held pending
the undergounding of interfering overhead utilities and removal of the poles.
The utility companies have completed the duct work for the underground and
anticipate all poles and overhead lines will be removed by June 1998.
Additionally, in July 1996, the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA)
Board approved an allocation of 50% of the cost of this signal, to be funded by
the IVDA; they gave a "rough" estimate of $50,000. Staff has verified this
allocation and the IVDA is in agreement with this project. Plans have been
completed and we are now ready to advertise for bids for installation of the
signals.
Listed below are the estimated construction costs based on the Engineer's
Estimate of Construction:
Construction Contract

SUBTOTAL
$ 93,475
$ 3.000
$ 96,475
Contingencies (3.6%)
$ 3.525
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST
$100,000
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the installation of traffic signals is in the Gas Tax Construction Fund
under Account No. 126-369-5504-7100, in an amount of $45,000 and in the
traffic systems fee fund in an amount of $5,000 under Account No. 250-370-
5504-1942, and an allocation from IVDA of $50,000 to fund 50% of the actual
costs for the installation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the plan and authorization for the Acting Director
of Public Works to begin advertising for bids on this project.
