body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Steady growth in the industrial area east of SR 99 has resulted in additional traffic impacts at the intersection at Victor Road (SR 12) and Guild Avenue. After receiving several requests for a traffic signal installation at this location staff conducted a traffic signal evaluation that determined this intersection met the State criteria. Currently, this intersection is a 4-way intersection with stop controls on Guild Avenue.
Victor Road (SR 12) is a Caltrans owned roadway. All improvements proposed within the Caltrans right-of-way require an approved encroachment permit issued by Caltrans before construction is authorized. The Caltrans encroachment permit was issued to the City in May 2024.
This project installs curb ramp, crosswalk, traffic signal and lighting improvements at the Guild Avenue and Victor Road (SR 12) intersection. This project will also relocate the raised median on Guild Avenue north of Victor Road to accommodate large truck turning movements as required by Caltrans.
On August 7, 2024, Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized advertisements for bids. The City received the following eight bids for this project on September 18, 2024:
