BACKGROUND
On December 16, 2009, the United States House of Representatives passed the Jobs for Main
Street Act Bill (Economic Stimulus 2). Once enacted by the United States Senate and signed by
the President, the bill will provide California with funding for infrastructure improvements. On
January 21, 2010, the City received solicitation from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority for a list of projects that meet very specific eligibility requirements.
Eligibility requirements include that such projects receive authorization to proceed with
construction from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and advertise and
award by June 3, 2010. The Golden Valley Road Widening and Median Improvements from
Centre Pointe Parkway to Sierra Highway project has been listed by the City as a candidate to
receive funding through the Jobs for Main Street Act.
This project will construct improvements on 1.9 miles of Golden Valley Road from Centre
Pointe Parkway to Sierra Highway including roadway widening to meet the existing width of
adjoining street sections.. Ultimately, the roadway improvements will provide for a six -lane
roadway, paving, striping, curbs, gutter, sidewalk, hardscape, landscaped raised medians and
parkways, irrigation, traffic signal, street lights, catch basins, and stormdrain facilities.
In order to fund and execute the design effort in a timely manner, a loan in the amount of
$250,000 from the Via Princessa Bridge and Thoroughfare District to the Eastside Bridge and
Thoroughfare District is necessary. The loan will be repaid at a future date when funds are
available from the Eastside Bridge and Thoroughfare District.
Sikand Engineering Associates (Van Nuys, CA), WRA Engineering (Santa Clarita, CA), and Lee
Newman Design Group (Westlake Village, CA) previously provided civil engineering and design
services for the existing improvements that were part of Golden Valley Road project, Phases I
and III. These firms are highly familiar with the scope of work and possess the engineering
resources, extensive experience, data, and quality necessary to move the project forward in a cost
effective and timely manner.
This action will also provide for staff to proceed with design services including preparation of
plans and specifications, execution of professional services agreements for amounts not
exceeding $50,000, coordination with utility agencies, staff oversight, and related administration
costs.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The requested loan from the Via Princessa Bridge and Thoroughfare District and appropriation of
$250,000 from the Eastside Bridge and Thoroughfare District will provide for all civil
engineering design and related project administration cost.
