Redevelopment Project Area. Approximately $2.0 million was used to refund existing debt from outstanding 1996 Notes, $500,000 was set aside for reserves and to pay for the cost of issuance, and the remaining $2.7 million was identified and reserved for various Redevelopment projects. On January 18, 2000, the Redevelopment Agency Board approved a list of public improvement projects which were recommended by the Mt. Vernon Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC). On June 4, 2002, the Agency and the City entered into a Construction Management Agreement (CMA) to construct the public improvements. Pursuant to the CMA, the City is responsible for the management and supervision of all aspects of the design and installation of these public improvements, including the securing of right- of -way and easements to complete these projects. One of the projects identified in the CMA was the construction of the Colton -San Bernardino Bikeway Project. One hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) was allocated to the project as part of the City share. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: The Colton -San Bernardino Bikelane Project is ready for the bidding process. Every attempt will be made by the Public Works/Engineering staff to ensure a wide range of potential bidders are reached by the advertising process. The City will advertise in local newspapers and `plan houses' where contractors can view the Project's plans, specifications and documents; this is the process depicted by the City's purchasing ordinance 0-12-03, Section 3.08.090 (d) and 3.08.090 (e). The city engaged the services of G.K. and Associates, Inc. for the design of Colton -San Bernardino Project. During the design process additional design work was requested for the portion of the bike lane near the I-215 and the intersection of 10th and G Street totaling $35,945. Staff requests approval of the attached amendment to the awarded design agreement, increasing the compensation for the design services correspondent to this project in the amount of $35,945. The plans, specifications, and construction cost estimate for this Project were submitted to Caltrans for funding authorization, without which the city cannot commence the construction phase of this project. On March 26, 2007, the city received notification from Caltrans that the FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) form E-76, funding authorization for construction, was approved. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The environmental document, P.C.E. (Programmatic Categorical Exclusion), was submitted and has been approved by Caltrans. This action has also been determined to be categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304(h). CONFLICT OF INTEREST None.
