City Manager Approval
Item to be presented by:
Rick Putnam
CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: May 13, 1997
SUBJECT: VALENCIA BOULEVARD BICYCLE BRIDGE
PROJECT NO. 99-047-01- ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
BACKGROUND
This project consists of the construction of a bicycle bridge adjacent to the west (downstream)
side of the existing Valencia Boulevard Bridge near Creekside Road (see attached project map),
and forms a part of bicycle trail called the Santa Clara River Trail - Phase III.
Due to design and construction constraints, staff previously proposed that Phase III
improvements be constructed under two separate design packages, a "trail" package and a
"bridge" package. Council previously authorized the advertising for bids for the "trail" portion
of the project, on April 8, 1997. Approval to advertise for Project No. 99-047-01, the "bridge'
portion of the project, is requested at this time. Since the bridge lies outside City jurisdiction,
approval from the Los Angeles County Public Works Bridge Section is required. Staff expects
this approval shortly.
Budget in the amount of $805,390 (PFA Funds); $573,000 (Developer Funds); $473,762.86
(Proposition 116 Funds); and $300,000 (Proposition C Funds) were previously authorized by City
Council for the entire project. Appropriate fund accounts to track these costs have been
established by staff under Account No. 80001.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the plans and specifications, and authorize staff
to issue a Notice Inviting Bids for Project No. 99-047-01, the "bridge" portion of the project.
Direct staff to reconcile all comments from the Los Angeles County Public Works Bridge Section.
