QP('GIOdED BACKGROUND The Golden Valley Road Bridge widening over State Route 14 project is currently being designed by Terramar Retail Centers (Terramar) as part of the Golden Valley Ranch development. Terramar is terminating the design, which is approximately 60 percent complete, due to the state of the economy. Terramar is eligible for reimbursement of services rendered on this project using Bridge and Thoroughfare District funds. The bridge widening is not conditioned until the last phase of the Golden Valley Ranch project is opened. The City is taking over the lead to finish the design in consideration of future grant opportunities. City Council's approval of the recommended action does not relieve the developer of the obligation to construct the bridge widening in the future. This bridge widening project is a roadway improvement needed to provide additional traffic lanes for Golden Valley Road to State Route 14, and a major improvement for the Cross Valley Connector. Staff is requesting to purchase the 60 percent completed plans from Terramar and to continue the design of the project to completion, with the design firms listed above. Developers of the Golden Valley Ranch project have paid adequate funds and these have been set aside in accordance with the conditions of Golden Valley Ranch. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT Appropriate funds in the amount of $589,293 from the Eastside Bridge and Thoroughfare District Fund and transfer to Expenditure Account 53028301-5161.001. ATTACHMENTS Location Map N
