FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The Chino/Montclair Area Overlay Project (Project) is funded with Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) revenue and by the City of Montclair (City). Sufficient appropriation and revenue are included in the Department of Public Works (Department) 2021-22 Road Operations budget (6650002000 34H15066).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Project involves pavement rehabilitation on approximately 16 miles of roads in the Chino and Montclair areas. This Project was prioritized by the Board of Supervisors (Board) as part of the 2020-21 SB1 RMRA project list, which was approved on April 21, 2020 (Item No. 45). All work for the Project will be done within the existing right-of-way.
On December 8, 2020 (Item No. 31), the Board approved Cooperative Agreement No. 20-1175 between the County and the City for the implementation of this Project. The agreement terminates upon completion of the Project and payment by the City, or on December 31, 2025, whichever occurs first.
On January 11, 2022 (Item No. 27), the Board determined the Project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, approved the Project as defined in the Notice of Exemption, and directed the Clerk of the Board to file and post said notice.
The Project aligns with the County and the Chief Executive Officer’s goals and objectives of ensuring development of a well-planned, balanced and sustainable County by preserving and improving the structural integrity of existing road surfaces.
The Project includes an allowance in the amount of $200,000 for differing site conditions associated with utilities, subgrade stabilization (soil conditions), pothole repairs, crack sealing, and/or pavement patching.
PROCUREMENT
The Project will be advertised to invite formal bids in accordance with Section 22037 of the California Public Contract Code. The Department anticipates returning to the Board for an award of the construction contract in August 2022.
