Specification, and Estimate (PS&E) package for construction of the Golden Valley Road Bridge

BACKGROUND
The Circulation Element of the City's General Plan identifies the ultimate roadway network for
build out of the General Plan. This network includes Golden Valley Road. This roadway is also
identified in the Bridge and Thoroughfare (B&T) District and represents an important additional
roadway link to improve travel within the City. The Golden Valley Road Bridge over Santa
Clara River consists of the construction of a six -lane roadway. This bridge will connect the
future extension of Newhall Ranch Road to the Golden Valley Road/Soledad Canyon Road
Interchange.
This bridge, over the Santa Clara River, is part of the Cross Valley Connector that needs to be
constructed independent of the River Park project. It is the link that will connect the Cross
Valley Connector south of the river to the north of the river, thus allowing the north -south
connection.
APPROVED
On February 24, 2005, the Building and Engineering Department received proposals for the
preparation of the PS&E for the Golden Valley Road Bridge over the Santa Clara River from the
following five consultants:
Comoanv Location
Dokken Engineering
T.Y. Lin International
Willdan
Tetra Tech, Inc.
Parsons Brinckerhoff
Rancho Cordova, CA
Riverside, CA
Foothill Ranch, CA
Irvine, CA
Los Angeles, CA
On March 14, 2005, interviews were conducted with each listed consultant. Based on technical
qualification and methodology for the project, staff recommends that Dokken Engineering be
awarded the design contract for the project. This consulting firm has performed similar bridge
design projects for the City and other local agencies in Southern California.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Postpone award of the design contract. Delays in the design may impact the completion date
of the Cross Valley Connector project.
2. Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City. The County of Los Angeles has issued a warrant in the
amount of $2,000,000.00 to the City for bridge design costs.
