The Army Corps of Engineers and the Riverside County Flood Control and
Water Conservation District are currently constructing improvements
to the Lake Elsinore Outlet Channel. As a part of these improvements,
all of the bridges over the channel are being reconstructed. On
December 17, 1993 the bridge at Riverside Drive (Highway 74) is
scheduled to be closed for approximately four months. Although detour
signs will be set up on I -15 at Lake Street and at Main Street, a
large increase in traffic is expected on Lakeshore Drive and on Chaney
Street.
The Five Year Capital Improvement Plan includes a safety project at
the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and Chaney Street. This project
consists of widening Lakeshore Drive to install a long left turn
pocket into Chaney Street and widening Chaney Street to provide left
turn pockets, on- street parking and asphalt walkways.
On October 26, 1993, Council appropriated $100,000.00 for the
immediate widening of Lakeshore Drive and Chaney Street. A Notice
Inviting Bids was prepared on October 27, 1993 and advertised in the
local construction papers. The Notice was also submitted for
advertising in the local newspaper. Plans and Specifications were
quickly prepared for contractors to bid on. There were seven plan
holders as of November 3, 1993.
On Monday, November 8, 1993, sealed bids were received for the
Lakeshore Drive and Chaney Street Widening project. Because of the
time constraints on this project, the results of the bid could not be
included during the preparation of this Agenda Item. However, the bid
results will be presented to the Council by Staff. The bid results
and the low bidder's qualifications were verified after the bid
opening. The recommended low bidder is a licensed contractor and has
satisfied all the bid requirements.
The Engineer's estimate for this project was $75,000.00.
FISCAL IMPACT
