FINANCIAL STATE<~II~NT: Proposed FY 2003-2004 budget for this capital project:
Budget
Salaries/Design/Misc.: $ 22,610
Improvements: $182,000
TOTAL: $ 204,610
The project will be ftmded through the Federal Hazard Elimination Safety Program funds ($127,000), City
General Fund ($22,610) and Gas Tax ($55,000).
DESCRIPTION: This project would upgrade the traffic signal at Village
Parkway/Amador Valley Boulevard to enhance the operation and safety at this intersection. This project
will replace all signal poles with new standard poles and replace the underground wiring system for the
traffic signal.
On January 21, 2003, the City Council approved additional improvements to be included in this traffic
signal upgrade project. The additional improvements include the elimination of the free right turn island
at the southeast corner of the intersection and extending the curb, gutter and sidewalk to provide an area
for possible landscaping. The parcel adjacent to this corner (previously BP gas station) is currently vacant
and available for future development, and this improvement would help create an economic incentive,
making the property more developable. City Staff has determined that the elimination of the free right
turn at the southeast comer would allow the intersection to continue operating at an acceptable level of
service during the peak traffic periods under existing and future traffic conditions.
Construction is estimated to start in August 2003.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize Staff to solicit bids for Contract 02-10, Traffic Signal
Upgrade - Village Parkway/Amador Valley Boulevard.
