SUBJECT:
Submittal of Plans and Specifications for "Higuera St. Widening - Madonna
Rd. to McCracken's Tire, City Plan No. K -25B"
CAD RECOMMENDATION:
By Motion Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Staff to Advertise
for Bids
BACKGROUND:
The plan-line for Higuera Street was adopted in 1965 and widening projects were
first proposed in 1978. In June 1980, the City Council accepted the
environmental impact report and in 1986 adopted Resolution 5975 approving a
negative declaration for the widening of Higuera from the Caltrans Offices to
High Street. As a first phase of this project, the City contracted for the
demolition of the Evans Building in the summer of 1987. Subsequently, on
September 1, 1987, Council adopted Resolution 6301 approving a sale agreement
for the acquistion of State property at the intersection of Higuera /Madonna
which also included restoration and improvements of their property in
connection with the widening project.
Project Description:
Higuera St. will be widened from Madonna Road to McCracken's Tire near High
Street to accommodate four lanes of traffic, two bike lanes and left turn
lanes. The Madonna /Higuera intersection will be widened to provide: (a) two
right turn lanes from Higuera to Madonna Road and two lanes southbound on
Higuera Street, a left -turn lane and two lanes northbound, and (b) two left
turn lanes and a right turn lane from Madonna to Higuera St. In addition,
South St. will be widened from east of Higuera to Parker St. and two left turn
lanes will be provided at Higuera St. The project will also include revisions
to the traffic signals at Madonna Road and at South St., tree planting,
landscaped traffic islands, landscaping and entrance improvements to Caltrans
property, waterline improvements and undergrounding of PG&E and cable TV
utilities. Refer to Exhibit "A" for details of the major features of the
project.
Project Coordination:
A. Several items of work have been included in this contract which have
resulted in a larger overall project then originally envisioned. These items
are as follows:
1. undergrounding of all PG&E and Sonic Cable TV facilities. This work
will also involve the undergrounding of all overhead lines on Madonna Road
from Higuera Street to the end of the underground work that was completed
during the Madonna Road widening project.

2. Waterline improvements within the project limits which were budgeted
for completion in this current 1987/89 Capital Improvement Plan.
3. Widening of South St. from Higuera St. to Parker which was also
budgeted for completion in this current 1987/89 Capital Improvement Plan.
4. Landscaping of areas along the freeway ramps which are adjacent to
Madonna Rd. This work was agreed to by Council motion in April 1986 to be
completed by the City subsequent to the widening of Madonna Rd. Staff
worked directly with Caltrans on the design of the landscaping and
irrigation system.
5. Landscaping of State property at Higuera and Madonna and improvements
to the parking lot entrances as a condition of the sale agreement.
6. Resurfacing of Madonna Rd. from Higuera St. west to the freeway ramps
(end of Madonna widening project).
B. Union Oil Company is proposing to replace two existing 8" lines in Higuera
Street within the project limits prior to the start of construction of the
widening project. It is anticipated this work will begin in March and be
completed by May 1988.
C. The phone company has completed the undergrounding of their facilities, and
only minor work will be required during our project.
D. To better coordinate the widening project with the undergrounding of the
PG &E /Cable TV facilities, the projects have been combined and will be
advertised as one project. The City's contract will be awarded to the lowest
bidder for the combined project, with each utlity company to be responsible to
award, inspect, administer and pay the construction for their portion of the
project. No city funds will be involved in the undergrounding portion of the
widening project.
