STAFF REPORT
Approval of Plans
Installation of Landscaping in
Highland Avenue Median at Wal-Mart Complex
The plans for this landscaping have been prepared by the Con-
sultant, and the project is ready to be advertised for bids.
This project consists, in general , of installing an automatic
irrigation system and landscaping in the curbed median, between
Piedmont Drive and Boulder Avenue. In addition, a concrete City
entrance sign will be installed behind the north curb line of
Highland Avenue.
The south half of this median is within the City of Highland.
The plans have been reviewed by the City of Highland, with the
comment that an Agreement will be needed to allow our maintenance
crews to work within their jurisdiction.
Below is an estimate of the total project cost:
Construction Contract $ 52, 171
Consultant' s Design Fee 4, 890
Contract Administration & Insp. (19.0. #1401) `_ 5 , 000
Sub--Total $ 62, 061
Contingencies (150) ± ^ 9 , 439
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST $ 71,500
An amount of $800 , 000 has been allocated from Tax Allocation Bond
Proceeds , under Account No. 650-0170 , to finance the cost for
street improvements in connection with the Wal-Mart Complex. We
estimate that the current unencumbered balance in this account is
about $85 , 000 , which will be sufficient to finance the cost of
this landscaping.
We recommend that the plans be approved and that authorization be
granted to advertise for bids . This work will be included in the
contract documents for installation of landscaping in Waterman
Avenue in order to get the lowest possible bid price.
