CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT City Council Meeting of April 6,1999 TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members APPROVAL: Henry T. Garcia, City Manager F FROM: Daryl J. Parrish, Assistant City Mana e 9 r, SUBJECT: Authorization for the Solicitation of Bids for the Construction of the Randall Avenue Storm Drain Project and the Appropriation of Funds for the Project from the CFD 89-2 Construction Fund DATE: March 29,1999 BACKGROUND: In order to move forward with our efforts to mitigate the flooding that occurs in the areas bounded by Eucalyptus Avenue on the West, Meridian Avenue on the East, Randall Avenue on the North and Valley Boulevard on the South we are proposing the construction of a project known as the Randall Avenue Storm Drain. The Randall Avenue Storm Drain was presented to and approved by the Community Facilities District Commission on March 1, 1999. Before we elaborate on the Randall Avenue Storm Drain it is appropriate to mention that the Randall Avenue Storm Drain is only one facet of a three pronged approach designed to mitigate the flooding experienced in the locations described above. THE THREE PRONGED APPROACH The three -pronged approach consists of three separate projects designed to mitigate flooding. The three projects include the Valley Boulevard Relocation / Pepper Avenue Interstate 10 Interchange Improvement Project, the Project 3-5 Storm Drain Phase 11 Project and the Randall Avenue Storm Drain Project. u The Valley, Boulevard Relocation I Pepper Avenue Interstate 10 Improvement Project The Valley Boulevard Relocation / Pepper Avenue Interstate 10 Improvement Project includes improvements to an intersection that has been historically plagued by flooding. The improvements associated with this project include new pavement and beefed up culverts that will transfer water out of the intersection into more appropriate locations. This will have a significant impact on the existing condition at the intersection of Valley Boulevard and Pepper Avenue. These are County of San Bernardino projects. The latest estimates by the County of San Bernardino indicate that construction of the Valley Boulevard improvements should begin around October 1, 1999 and should be completed by March 31, 2000. The Pepper Avenue / Interstate 10 Improvements should begin around February 1, 2000 and should be completed by February 28, 2001. Item # 20
