IN THE AMOUNT OF $88,670. DATE: AUGUST 30, 2004 BACKGROUND: In 1994, SAWPA (Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority) entered into an agreement with the City of Colton to construct off-site improvements in front of RIX (Rapid Infiltration and Extraction) facility in Agua Mansa Road as part of the City's condition of approval for the construction of the facility. Since the off-site improvement was not necessary during that time, SAWPA agrees to construct the improvements in future date with the exact date not specified on the agreement. Parts of the condition are installation of pavement curbs, gutters, sidewalk, landscaping, irrigation, and right of way dedication. Whereas, sometime last year, the City of Colton Electric Department had completed and commissioned the electric generating power plant located next to RIX facility. Both of these facilities are located on the proposed Capital Improvement Project section of Agua Mansa Road from San Bernardino Flood Control Rialto Channel to Riverside Avenue. The proposed street improvement includes widening the road carriageway to four (4) 12 -foot lanes with a 14 -foot median and possible change of alignment at the approach of Rialto Channel to align with existing channel crossing. A raised median will be utilized at the approach of Riverside Avenue and RIX facility to better control the left -turn movements. On May 7, 2003, Public Services Department solicited proposals to provide engineering design for this project. Staff received formal proposals from three (3) firms, with their corresponding fee amounts as follows: 1. Engineering Resources of So. Califortnia, Inc. — San Bernardino, Ca. $ 56,625.00 2. Associated Engineers, Inc. — Ontario, Ca. $ 84,940.00 3. Boyle Engineering Corp. -Ontario, Ca. $ 233,525.00
