7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
On March 13, 2018, the City Council approved Agreement No. 6580 with Stantec Consulting
Inc., in the amount of $29,859 to design the traffic signal improvements at the intersection of
Katella Avenue and Struck Street. The traffic signal improvements were necessary to facilitate
access for the future Branch West Orange Apartments project located at 1725 West Katella
Avenue. Under a development agreement approved by the City Council, the developer will pay
$57,000 of the overall design and construction costs.
Subsequent to the contract award, preliminary engineering determined that the existing
landscaping in the median would not be able to be salvaged. The existing medians will be
modified as part of the intersection redesign but no provisions were made in the original contract
to replant the entire median.
ITEM 2 07/10/18
The existing planting and irrigation system is aged and at the end of its useful life. This First
Amendment to Agreement No. 6580 will allow for the development of a drought friendly pallette
and new irrigation that is water efficient. Additionally, once a new standard is developed, it can
then be utilized in other city medians as future projects and funding opportunities become
available for rehabilitation.
Given the overall intersection and streetscape improvements, and the recent addition of
sidewalks along the south side of Katella Avenue, this project provides an opportunity to expand
the concrete pad for groups of pedestrians waiting to cross the street, rehabilitate the landscaping,
and add nighttime up- lighting surrounding the community service organization monument
located at the southeast corner of Katella Avenue and Struck Street. The additional landscaping
and lighting enhancements will complete the overall aesthetics of the intersection.
The total cost for both the landscape median redesign and southeast corner improvements is
$13,524. The improvements will be incorporated in the final construction drawings for the traffic
signal modification plans and bid as part of the overall intersection improvements. Adequate
funding currently exists in the design budget to pay the requested First Amendment costs and no
new funding is requested.
