Parcel B was independently developed as the Sunflower Hill multi -family project. In addition to the subdivision improvements, the extension of Nevada Street presented an opportunity to have a needed segment of water main installed by Meritage in exchange for reimbursement of some of the cost. This needed pipeline was identified in the City's 2004 Water Master Plan as an improvement that would provide network redundancy and better water quality between Zone 7's Turnout No. 5 and the downtown area. The pipeline was needed along the Nevada Street alignment from Stanley Boulevard, eastward to Bernal Avenue (See Attachment 1). Meritage installed the 16 - inch pipeline within the newly constructed Nevada Street, from Stanley Boulevard to California Street, at their expense. Meritage also constructed the segment of 16 -inch pipeline within the older section of Nevada Street, from California Street to Bernal Avenue, at a cost to the City of $835,414.47. This new pipeline is now in service and is providing the intended benefits both to the Irby Ranch Development and to other parts of the City. The work was funded from the Nevada Street Water Improvements, CIP No. 94115, previously known as the Del Valle Parkway Water Main Extension Project. Condition of Approval 52 required the Nevada Street extension be completed prior to occupancy of the new homes. This condition was imposed to address an increase in traffic at the Nevada Street and Bernal Avenue intersection once Nevada Street is fully opened to the public. The City's Traffic Engineer determined that a traffic signal would be warranted at this intersection, so the City subsequently awarded a construction contract for the installation of this signal as part of CIP No. 17532. Since this signal will not be operational when the public improvements for Tract 8245 are accepted, the City will keep Nevada Street temporarily closed to through traffic. This temporary closure will also allow the City to implement traffic -calming features on Nevada Street as requested by the residents of the subdivision. The new traffic signal is expected to be operational in February 2022. The work has been inspected and determined to be in accordance with all conditions of approval and complete to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering. It is recommended that City Council accept the work as complete. Submitted by: Stephen' patrick Director of Engineering Attachment 1.
