BACKGROUND
In September 1997, the City of Santa Clarita received approval by the HBRR program to
complete the widening of the Bouquet Canyon Road bridge and various other
improvements. The HBRR program has an 80 percent (federal) and 20 percent (City)
reimbursement clause attached to it, and is administered by Caltrans. Caltrans has
assigned grant designation code BHLS5450(007) to this project. Currently, the City has met
all of the grant issues and has received approval to complete the design requirements.
This project will provide the design requirements to widen the Bouquet Canyon Road
bridge over the Santa Clara River from the current layout of six lanes to an ultimate
configuration of eight lanes. Design improvements will include the eight -lane
configuration, stamped concrete median, Class I bike lane with an under -crossing beneath
the north end of the bridge, and decorative tiling associated with the vehicular barrier
railings.
Staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the subject project. Included in the RFP is
the requirement to design the necessary improvements for the project. The RFP was sent
to firms on the City's Design Consultants List. Six firms submitted proposals (see
Exhibit "B"). Based on technical qualifications and methodology for the project, staff
recommends the firm of Dokken Engineering, the most qualified bidder.
