11. Financial Impact:
The estimated contract cost of the project is $186,000, funded by State funds (100%)
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The project is needed because of the high volume of traffic moving through the intersections,
especially during commute hours. Because of the existing four-way stop, traffic entering the
intersections must pass through one vehicle at a time, which sometimes causes queues in
excess of three (3) miles. Commute traffic queues will be greatly mitigated. Non-commute traffic
will not be impacted.
The project has been determined to be in compliance with the General Plan and is exempt from
CEQA because it consists of minor alterations of existing public facilities involving negligible
expansion of use per Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.
The Public Works Director has filed with the Board of Supervisors the Plans and Specifications
for the project.
The general prevailing rates of wages, which shall be the minimum rates paid on this project,
have been filed with the Clerk of the Board and copies will be made available to any interested
party upon request.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If the project is not approved for advertising, it will.not be constructed.
