SUBJECT: SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD EAST OF SAND CANYON ROAD WIDENING
(PROJECT NO 91-04) - ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
Project No. 91-04 is a Community Strategic Plan Item (Action Item No. 2)
consisting of street improvements on Soledad Canyon Road between Sand Canyon
Road and Shadow Pines Boulevard. Included in this project is the .widening of
Soledad Canyon Road east of Sand Canyon Road, to provide, at this time, two
travel lanes in each direction and left -tura pockets. Sufficient pavement will
be provided to accommodate three lanes in each direction when the bikeway is
relocated from the current roadway. Also proposed is curb and gutter, an
unlandscaped raised median, street lights, sidewalks on the north side, drainage
structures, and the installation of a traffic signalization system on Soledad
Canyon Road at the on/off ramp of State Route 14.
This project will require extensive hillside grading on the north side of
Soledad Canyon Road east of Sand Canyon Road. Staff is currently working with
L.A. County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) to confirm a site to deposit the
grading material for this project. As part of Phase III of the Whites Canyon
Bridge project, the County has agreed to accept all of'the grading material from
this project.
These improvements are estimated to exhaust the current budget for the project.
If bids are received which are lower than our estimate, there will be an
opportunity to add improvements, i.e., landscaping.
Under Resolution No. 91-192, Council accepted the majority of the street
right-of-way necessary for this project. In order to accelerate the completion
of this work, staff is currently negotiating the purchase of two additional
parcels while we are out to bid. Since the road easement portions of the
property are currently unoccupied, we believe that we can acquire the parcels
even if condemnation is required prior to an early April construction start date.
A budget in the amount of $5.5 million is currently allocated for this work and
Account No. 25-95004-227 has been established to track all costs associated with
'the project. This project is primarily funded by Public Financing Authority
revenue bond monies. To recover a portion of the City's revenue bond monies,
staff is in the process of establishing an Integrated Financing
District/Reimbursement District that will assess future development to pay for
their fair share of the subject project. In addition, this project is eligible
for State/Local Partnership (SB 300) funds, however, it appears. that the City's
share will be only between 10 and 15 percent of the actual contract costs.
