Discussion:
The City of Palm Desert recently completed the construction of the raised median island
on Portola Avenue between Fairway Drive and Chicory Street. The landscaping of the
median island has become a very high priority. The landscape design was fast-tracked
and was completed on September 27, 2006. The project is currently out to bid with the
bid opening October 17, 2006. Following normal procedures, the contract would not be
able to be awarded until the City Council meeting of November 9, 2006.
The specifications were written to address concerns regarding the contractor disrupting
traffic during peak hours. The contractor will work between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.—
after students have arrived at school, and before they are picked up to go home.
Upon award of the contract, the following is the schedule for project completion:
