7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The Lincoln Avenue and Tustin Street intersection is a critical intersection as identified in the
City of Orange General Plan adopted by the City Council on March 9, 2010. The City of Orange
applied for and received funds through the Combined Transportation Funding Program for
Intersection Capacity Enhancement (CTFP -ICE) as administered by the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA). The City has been approved for $541,140 from the program
for engineering, acquisition of right -of -way, and construction funds for the improvement of the
Lincoln Avenue and Tustin Street intersection.
The Public Works Department has completed the preparation of construction plans and bid
documents for the improvement of the Lincoln Avenue and Tustin Street intersection. The
project will construct an additional eastbound Lincoln Avenue to northbound Tustin Street
dedicated left turn lane and a raised stamped concrete median on Lincoln Avenue, restripe
northbound Tustin Street to add an additional northbound -to- westbound Lincoln Avenue
dedicated left turn lane on Tustin Street, and pavement rehabilitation. This project will also
remove and reconstruct a sidewalk access ramp at the southwest corner of Tustin Street and
Lincoln Avenue, replace traffic signal poles, adjust utility covers to grade, new pavement striping
and traffic control. The existing water mains in the intersection of Tustin Street and Lincoln
Avenue are scheduled to be replaced as part of the larger Annual Pipeline Renewal Project in
early 2017. For cost saving and public convenience, the water mains within this intersection will
be replaced ahead of schedule as part of the Tustin/Lincoln Improvement Project. Plans and
specifications for the water mains have been prepared by Water Engineering staff. The scope of
work, in general, consists of utility potholing and installation of approximately 435 linear feet of
12" ductil iron pipe, including all necessary valves and fittings.
The total estimated construction cost including 10% for contingencies and construction
engineering is $720,000.
ITEM 2 05/10/16
The project is categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Existing Facilities.
This exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, and minor alteration to existing
public or private structures or facilities (including existing highways, streets, sidewalks, gutters,
trails, and similar facilities), involving negligible or no expansion of the existing use. The
proposed project falls within this exemption because it involves minor alteration of an existing
City street in order to add left turn lanes at an existing signalized intersection in a developed area
of the City. The project does not cause significant environmental impacts or trigger any of the
"exceptions to exemptions" contained in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.
The construction is scheduled to begin in July 2016 and is expected to be completed within
ninety calendar days.
