DATE: May 9, 1995
SUBJECT: EMERGENCY STREET RESTORATION WORK
PLACERITA CANYON ROAD - SIERRA HIGHWAY/12TH STREET
PROJECT NO. 95-905 (ACCEPTANCE)
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
Following the Northridge earthquake, Caltrans, out of necessity, detoured southbound Antelope
Valley Freeway traffic off at Placerita Canyon Road to route traffic southerly onto Sierra
Highway to bypass the damaged freeway structures on SR -14 and I-5. There were some drivers
that chose to use Placerita Canyon Road to continue towards their destination. As a result,
Placerita Canyon Road experienced undue wear on the roadway.
The intent of the City becoming involved was to help the area residents with repair work. The
City, on behalf of the area residents, approached the Federal Emergency Management
Administration (FEMA) for funding of improvements. However, FEMA only approved funding
for some minor roadway repair of the roadway. The Contractor, Asphalt Maintenance Company,
Visalia, California has completed the work on Project No. 95-905, Placenta Canyon Road from
Sierra Highway to 12th Street. This project was completed on December 2, 1994, for a total cost
of $65,872.84.
Based upon the FEMA approval, the work which was performed would not have resulted in a
significantly improved roadway (pothole patching, chip sealing and possible slurry). We always
expected the roadway would still suffer from potholes, but the extreme weather in January
accelerated this process and potholes quickly appeared which were repaired by the City while
we evaluated the quality of the contractor's work. As a result, several residents have requested
the City perform additional repairs to the roadway. In response to the residents' concerns,
Mayor Darcy and staff from Community Development met with representatives of area
residents and indicated the City would review possible additional funding. A recent letter from
the Placerita Canyon Property Owners Association President was a follow-up to the above
concerns.

In response to the meeting, staff approached FEMA for additional funding and was denied. In
addition, staff reviewed other possible funding sources where we currently have money available
and determined that the work on private property is not an eligible expense. This is due to the
requirements in the law which prohibits the City from spending public money on private
property.
Staff is concerned that additional pothole type repairs will not perform to the expectations of
the area residents and recommends against any repairs which would not include an overlay of
the entire street. If there is a desire to fund additional repair work, it is estimated a minimum
of $100,000 is needed to satisfactorily repair the private road portion.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Accept the work performed by Asphalt Maintenance Company, and direct the City Clerk
to file the attached Notice of Completion for the project.
2. Direct staff to release the five percent retention 35 days after the Notice of Completion is
recorded, provided no stop notices, as provided by law, have been filed.
