RECEIVED March 9. 1999 MAR 11 1999 MTON CITY OF COLTON CITY MANAGER ,,-Mr. Doug Gr.kvbeal Achilinistrative Analyst- Public Works Group County of San Bernardino I 185 North Arrowhead San Bernardino. CA 92415-0181 Dear Mr. Gravbcal: The- City of Colton has made significant progress in finding funding for the Randall Avenue Storm Drain. The City of Colton is interested in completion of their portion of the storin drain project as soon as is practical. The portion of the pipeline within Randall Akre. can be categorically excluded under CEQA, I have discussed the, issue of timing with Flood Control and it is believed that their environmental process will be settled by June 1999- In order to assure an efficient and orderly construction process with Count� Flood ControFs efforts to enlarge. tJie Randall A-vrc. Detention Basin before October 15, 19997 1 am requesting the County, to separately construct that portion of the Randall Ave. Storm Drain outfloiN- idthin the County owned right of wav, with City reimbursement, at the same time construction of the Randall Detention Basin enlargement is undertaken. The advantages to this system are, 1) There will not be two contractors occupying the same site at the same time. 2) The County and City will. bit-, working within their own right of vv --ay (reducing costs and separate i ' nspcctioii requirements). 3) The City and County %dll be working on facilities they will be individually - maintaining. 4) 'Hie design coordination time frame should reduce significantly as a result. 55) Some I construction can begin before your detention basin is ready to bid if the City of Colton only works within the street right of way In order to initiate construction within this framework modifications to the Associated EngineWs plan are needed. The Plans within the Count� m4a L�e amended into a separate y Flood Control Right of Way - sheet and separate bid itern (to easih- identify reimbursement costs) to be included in the County Flood Control Bid Package for the enlargement of Randall Basin. The remaining portions of the Randall Ave. Storm Drain Plans will need to be modified to temporarily close the portion constructed by. the City of Colton until the County can complete their portion of the. Storm Drain improvement. Associated En neers designed the original Randall Ave- Storm Drain facility under your direction- and gi wewould appreciate modification of the these pjans, a bid schedule and technical specifications for the items of work on1v with a revised engineer's estimate and livdraulic calcs by -March 30. 1999. The City then bid the project and begin work on the Storm Drain- In the interest of time- w-ewould assume the County will cover the plan modification costs under it's current contract. - Please let me know if this meets with your approval and can reasonably bee accomplished- We at the City -tvould be happy to meet and discuss These issues of mutual interest. I would certainlv be interested in answering any coordination questions Associated Engineers may have- regarding the modification ofthe plans. Sincerelv. I --------- - --- I Tim R. Wilson P.E., A.LA.
