BACKGROUND
On November 22, 2005, the City Council approved the Downtown Newhall Specific Plan
(DNSP). During that meeting the City Council also certified the Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) that examined the many attributes of the DNSP's vision and determined that the benefits of
implementing the plan would be substantial for the entire community.
One of the most important and visible changes outlined by the DNSP was the idea of
transforming San Fernando Road between Lyons Avenue and Newhall Avenue into a calm
"Main Street." The traffic circulation, parking, and streetscape environment envisioned for the
new Main Street was designed to create an attractive place for all Santa Clarita Valley residents
and visitors.
Phase I of the Old Town Newhall Streetscape project was completed under a separate
construction contract and was accepted by the City Council on January 12, 2010.
The limit of work for Phase II of the Old Town Newhall Streetscape project is on Main Street
from the centerline of 8th Street to the intersection of Lyons Avenue and Lyons Avenue from
Railroad Avenue to Walnut Street, as shown on the location map. Phase II will be consistent with
the design in Phase I to include the same character and amenities. The general scope of work
includes installation of stormdrain facilities that will connect to the stormdrain system
constructed in Phase I, paving, curb and gutter, access ramps, signing and striping, wood
boardwalk, walkway pavers, planters, benches, planting and irrigation, drains, streetlights, signal
modifications at the intersection of Main Street and Lyons Avenue, and other decorative features
and fixtures along the walkway on Main Street and Lyons Avenue.
On April 25, 2010, staff was directed by the Director of Public Works to authorize the
advertisement for construction bids. On June 8, 2010, the City's Purchasing Division received
five bids for the project. The lowest responsive bid was submitted by R.C. Becker and Son, Inc.

Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to R.C. Becker and Son, Inc., the lowest
responsive bidder. R.C. Becker and Son, Inc., possesses a state contractor's license and is in good
standing with the State Contractor's License Board. The bid from R.C. Becker and Son, Inc., was
reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and was found to be complete.
Pacific Coast Land Design was the landscape architect for Phase I and was also selected for
Phase II to ensure consistency of the design. Pacific Coast Land Design was originally selected
because of their extensive experience in urban projects of similar focus in other cities. During
construction, the firm will provide construction support and landscape design services.
Following the success of Phase I, the City will maintain a construction office in Downtown
Newhall using an existing building within the construction limits. The office will house the
project management team, which will include personnel available to address concerns of the
business community.
The recommended expenditure to Southern California Edison will provide for streetlighting
facilities.
Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2010 and is anticipated to be completed within
80 working days from the effective date of the Notice to Proceed.
Finally, an additional $242,000 is being requested for labor compliance, soils testing, survey,
construction office expenses, staff oversight, and miscellaneous project administration costs.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the Redevelopment Agency or City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
During the Fiscal Year 2009-10 budget process, $2,550,000 from the Redevelopment
Non -Housing Fund Balance was appropriated to Account 52005390-5161.001. These funds,
along with the requested transfer of $293,455 from M0071230-5161.001, will provide for all
anticipated project costs.
