SUBJECT: EMERGENCY STREET RESTORATION WORK
SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD - LANGSIDE AVENUE/SIERRA HIGHWAY
PROJECT NO. 95-906 (ADVERTISE)
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
Following the January 17, 1994 earthquake, many commuters from the Antelope Valley area
traversed our City streets to get to and from their destinations. Soledad Canyon Road within
the subject limits experienced undue wear on the roadway due to the additional traffic. The
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) recognized this fact and approved the advertising
of this project for the restoration of this section of roadway; Other segments of Soledad
Canyon Road were not included because those locations were recently resurfaced and
consequently exhibited less deterioration due to oxidation and wear.
The major portion of the cost of the project is being funded by FHWA and therefore, the need
to advertise Project No. 95-906 following FHWA guidelines. Since the approval for
advertising this project was received 180 days after the January 17, 1994 earthquake, FHWA
will only assume 88.53% of the total project cost while the City will need to bear the balance.
The total project, including preliminary engineering, construction engineering, and inspection
is estimated to cost approximately $560,000. Several non -General Fund matching monies
have been identified to cover the City's share which will be finaled at time of award.
Reimbursement of funds expended for this project are being requested from FHWA. Account
No. 90-89999-227 (Soledad Canyon Road from Langside Avenue to Sierra Highway) has been
established to track all costs associated with the project.
Plans and specifications for this project have been completed and are available for review in
the offices of the City Clerk and the Director of Community Development.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the plans and specifications for the project and authorize the advertising for bids.
