DATE: December 13, 1994
SUBJECT: Chuck Pontius Commuter Rail Trail - Project No. 99-029
Soledad Bridge Bikeway - Project No. 99-040
Authorization to Advertise for Bids
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
Project No. 99-029 (Chuck Pontius Commuter Rail Trail) is a proposed bicycle trail and
pedestrian way between the Soledad Bridge (near Camp Plenty Road) and the Santa Clarita
Metrolink Station. Project No. 99-040 (Soledad Bridge Bikeway) will provide for connection
between the Chuck Pontius Commuter Rail Trail and Phase 1 of the Santa Clara River Trail.
Both projects are funded through Proposition C discretionary grants.
Preparation of the contract documents for both projects should be complete within the next few
weeks. Staff has determined it may be more cost effective if:
• Projects 99-029 and 99-040 were combined and contracted for as a single project;
• The asbestos removals and demolition of the "Far West" building were contracted for
separately as specialty construction; and
• A number of minor bikeway amenities were deleted from the Soledad Bridge Widening
Project (which is currently nearing construction completion) and included in the combined
Project 99-029 and 99-040 construction package.
i SI \�' �\
Direct staff to package the two construction projects in the manner described; and authorize
staff to advertise for bids once the contract documents are completed. Council adoption of the
plans and specifications to be made at the time of contract award.
