THRU: David N. Carmany, City Manager
FROM: Sean P. Crumby, P.E. Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATION FOR SEAL
BEACH BOULEVARD REALIGNMENT FROM ST.
CLOUD TO OLD RANCH PARKWAY PROJECT NO.
49750
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
To approve plans and specifications for the Seal Beach Boulevard street
realignment project from St. Could to Old Ranch Parkway, Project No. 49750.
BACKGROUND:
At the July 13, 2009 City Council Meeting, Council approved a design contract
with Kimley -Horn and Associates to prepare plans and specifications to realign
Seal Beach Boulevard from St. Cloud to Old Ranch Parkway. The project will
align the existing Seal Beach Boulevard with the future improvements of the
West County Connector Project.
West County Connector Project (WCCP)
The WCCP will improve the 1 -405 freeway between the 22 freeway and the 1 -605
freeway. The improvements will add a High Occupancy Vehicle lanes connector
between all three freeways. In creating these lanes, three bridges will need to be
shifted, lengthened and widened. The three bridges are Valley View Street over
the 1-405, 7 Street over the 22 Freeway and Seal Beach Boulevard over the 1-
405. The Seal Beach Boulevard bridge will be lengthened and widened to
accommodate three through lanes in each direction. The bridge currently has
only two lanes in each direction. The new bridge will be longer in distance than
the existing bridge. This increased length and width triggers modifications to
Seal Beach Boulevard on each side of the bridge.
Seal Beach Boulevard from St. Cloud to Old Ranch Parkway
In additional to aligning Seal Beach Boulevard with the new bridge, this project
will eliminate the southbound bottleneck between St. Cloud and Old Ranch
Parkway. The final construction will have three lanes in each direction matching
with the WCCP to have a continuous traffic flow and minimize delays. This will

not remove or touch any eucalyptus trees. The landscaped medians will be
modified and six palm trees will be relocated to accommodate the new alignment.
See attached plans.
WCCP Project Status
Currently the Valley View Street Bridge is under construction and in October of
2010 the bridge is scheduled to be under construction for approximately 20
months. Concurrently, the 7` Street Bridge is anticipated to start in late 2010
and will be completed in late 2011. After the completion of the 7 Street Bridge
the Seal Beach Boulevard Bridge will be reconstructed and will take
approximately two years. See attached schedule.
Plans and specifications are accepted by the City Engineer and are available for
review in the Public Works Department.
A City Council action was brought forward on August 09, 2010. This action
awarded a design contract for the section of Seal Beach Boulevard that lies
south of the bridge over the 405 freeway.
A Measure M grant (Intersection Improvement Program) has been secured to
fund this construction. Typically construction of these improvements would follow
behind the West County Connectors project. This grant program however
expires and has a deadline for award in the Spring of 2011. The city has been
denied an extension request and is in a "use it or lose it" situation. Construction
is anticipated to begin late this year.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The budget for this project is from the 09/10 fiscal year. The funds are carrying
over from previous fiscal year. Finance Department will bring forth a carrying
over summary later this calendar year. In the 09/10 Budget $2.5 million has
been allocated for the Seal Beach Boulevard Widening Project No. 49750.
At the August 10, 2009 City Council meeting, Council adopted Resolution No.
5905 to enter into a Cooperative Agreement No.0 -9 -0631 with OCTA for the Seal
Beach Boulevard Bridge Widening as part of the WCC Project for $1,869,017.
The City has paid OCTA the $1,869,017.
On September 14, 2009 City Council meeting, Council awarded a design
contract with Kimley -Horn and Associates to widen Seal Beach Boulevard from
Old Ranch Parkway to St. Cloud for $158,184.
On August 9, 2010 City Council meeting, Council awarded a design contract with
RBF to widen Seal Beach Boulevard at North Gate road to match the southern
portion of the WCCP for $189,506.

In combining the expense OCTA Cooperative Agreement No.0 -9 -0631 of
$1,869,017, Kimely -Horn design contract of $158,184 and RBF design contract
of $189,506, it totals to $2,216,707.
The difference between the budget of $2,500,000 and total expenses of
$2,216,707 leaves a balance of $283,293.
