APPROVAL: Stephen Dopudja P.E., Interim Utilities Manager
Tim Sullivan, Director of Maintenance and Facilities
Title
Consider the street segments for the Various Streets Phase II Project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that the Water Subcommittee provide feedback on the street segments for Various Streets Phase II, City Project No. 240802.
Body
BACKGROUND
On November 15, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Matich Corporation for approximately $18,155,606 for Bid Schedules A, B, and C for the Street Overlay & Reconstruction Project (Various Streets Reconstruction Project), City Project No. 210804. The segment on Santa Ana Avenue from Riverside Avenue to the eastern end of the street was eliminated during construction in anticipation of a water line to be installed. The segments on Eucalyptus Avenue from Rialto Avenue to Carter Street and on Eucalyptus Avenue from Etiwanda Avenue to Foothill Boulevard were also eliminated due to the City of San Bernardino not having the funds available to execute the cooperative agreement for their portions of the streets. Bid Schedules D and E were not awarded at the time of award as the low bid for Bid Schedules A, B, C, D, and E exceeded the available budget at the time.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
The Various Streets Phase II project consists primarily of the street segments within Bid Schedule D of the original bid advertisement. Bid Schedule D currently consists of the following street segments:
• Acacia Avenue: Rialto Avenue to Merrill Avenue
• Bohnert Avenue: Cedar Avenue to Ayala Drive
• Easton Street: Arrowhead Avenue to Brampton Avenue
• Etiwanda Avenue: Cactus Avenue to Lilac Avenue
• Etiwanda Avenue: Maple Avenue to Cedar Avenue
• Etiwanda Avenue: Sycamore Avenue to Eucalyptus Avenue
• Eucalyptus Avenue: Walnut Avenue to Baseline Road
• Eucalyptus Avenue: Mill Street to Carter Street
• Lilac Avenue: Foothill Boulevard to Rialto Avenue
• Randall Avenue: Riverside Avenue to Sycamore Avenue
• Sycamore Avenue: Wilson Street to Merrill Avenue
After feedback from the Water Subcommittee, it is anticipated that the Various Streets Phase II project may return to the City Council for consideration of a contract award on April 9, 2024.
The following street segments will be delayed as a separate project in anticipation of upcoming water infrastructure work.
• Acacia Avenue: Rialto Avenue to Merrill Avenue
• Etiwanda Avenue: Sycamore Avenue to Eucalyptus Avenue
It is anticipated that Rialto Water Services (RWS) will coordinate with Rialto’s Engineering Services department on when the water work will conclude to commence roadway reconstruction soon thereafter.
