The project consists, in general, of in- stalling improvements along the north side of Highland Avenue, a curbed median, traffic signals at Boulder Avenue, and a storm drain, generally between Piedmont Drive and Boulder Avenue. Landscaping and irrigation facilities will need to be installed within the curbed median, in order to complement the improvements to be installed on the Wa1-Mart site. It is proposed that these facilities be installed under a separate contract. The landscaping will probably be done after Highland Avenue is relin- quished by Caltrans to the City. In this event, a permit will need to be obtained from the City of Highland, since a portion of the medians south of the street centerline is within their juris- diction. Below is an estimate of the total project cost: Construction Contract - Street Improvements Storm Drain Traffic Signals $161,100 222,928 84,765 Sub-Total $ 468,793 Consultant's Design Fee Engineering & Inspection (W.O. #1401) Sub-Total Contingencies (15%)!

C 4-26-93 y c c c o ~ ~ Improvements on Highland @ Wal-Mart Page 2 of 2 Staff Report Continued: The tentative schedule for this project is to advertise for bids about 5-15-93, with a Notice to Proceed issued about 7-15-93. This schedule should allow the improvements to be installed prior to the Christmas shopping season. Caltrans anticipates diverting traffic to the new freeway in mid June. They then will need about 30 days to complete the required pavement rehabilitation work, before Highland Avenue can be re- linquished to the City. Therefore, Caltrans' schedule should complement our anticipated start of work date on the Highland Avenue improvements. We recommend that the plans be approved and authorization granted to advertise for bids. 4-26-93 LI
