SUMMARY
On February 05, 2014, the Director of Public Works received eight (8) sealed bids for the "Median Improvements at Olympic Parkway/Brandywine Avenue and Palomar Street/Walnut Avenue in the City of Chula Vista (TF377)" project. The project is included in the Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2013/2014. The proposed resolution, if approved, would accept bids, award the contract for this project to the low bidder Tri-Group Construction & Development, Inc. in the amount of $124,830, waive City Council Policy 574-01, and authorize the expenditure of all available contingency funds in an amount not to exceed $20,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a Class 1 (c) categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed traffic improvement project consists of the construction of a raised median near the intersection of Palomar Street and Walnut Avenue and the installation of a left turn pocket lane at the intersection of Olympic Parkway and Brandywine. All proposed work and improvements will be done within existing street right-of-way involving negligible or no expansion of an existing use. Thus, no further CEQA environmental review is required.
