Crumby P.E., Assistant City Manager /Public Works SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR A JOINT PAVING PROJECT OF SAN GABRIEL RIVER BIKE TRAIL FROM PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY TO WARDLOW ROAD SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6203 approving a joint agreement with the City of Long Beach in the amount of $200,000 for construction improvements on the San Gabriel River Bike Trail from Pacific Coast Highway to Wardlow Road. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: At the November 11, 2007 City Council Meeting, Council authorized the City Manager to sign an agreement with the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC). This agreement provides $2,000,000 for enhancements to portions of the San Gabriel River trail system. Some of these enhancements include; a new paved surface for the bike trail, new pavement for the terminus of the River Trail at 1St Street and Ocean Avenue, seating, bike racks, redesigned parking with new landscaping and lighting and restroom upgrades. The majority of the Grant funds are set to expire by the end of the Fiscal Year 2011/2012. The portion of the bike trail that the City intended to improve using these grant funds was from the terminus of the trail at the 1St Street parking lot up to the 405 Freeway crossing. During the design phase of the project, the City of Long Beach approached the City regarding a bike trail paving project they were designing that covered Wardlow Road in Long Beach to Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). Maintenance agreements indicate that certain portions of the bike trail are the responsibility of the City of Seal Beach. These include from the 1St Street parking lot to PCH and from College Park Drive to Coyote Creek. The City of Long Beach is required to maintain the trail from Coyote Creek to Wardlow Road. The section of trail between PCH and College Park Drive has dual responsibility between the two cities. Agenda Item G The most cost effective way to pave the bike trail would be for one city to take the lead on design and construction with the other city providing compensation for their fair share portion. Long Beach had a preliminary design at that point for the trail to PCH and has a Local Coastal Plan which allows them to construct that portion of the trail without having to obtain a Coastal Commission permit. The RMC allows the City of Seal Beach to use the grant funds to compensate for the City's portion of the bike trail paving even with another agency performing the actual construction. Staff recommends entering into an agreement with the City of Long Beach that will allow Long Beach to pave the trail all the way to PCH in exchange for compensation from Seal Beach for the portions of the trail that are our maintenance responsibility. The $2,000,000 grant will be used to cover the costs for compensating Long Beach for Seal Beach's portion of the bike trail paving north of PCH. The portion south of PCH is part of the River's End Staging Area and Bikeway Enhancement Project No. BP0901 awarded to Golden State Constructions, Inc. (GSI) at the September 26, 2011 City Council Meeting. In order to provide the $200,000 to the City of Long Beach and stay within the grant fund limit, the City has issued change orders to reduce the scope and cost of their contract from the $1,624,191.85 awarded amount to $1,394,469.35. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: This project complies with all requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (Council adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration -April 26, 2010) LEGAL ANALYSIS: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form the agreement. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This project is funded through the Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach Protection Act of 2002 (Proposition 50) and administer to the City by the RMC. The City was awarded grants funds of $2,000,000 to cover the cost of design, construction, and inspection and there is no City match requirement. Below is a breakdown and summary of expenses for the project: Estimated Expenses: Amount Design - RBF $330,443.00 Construction Project No BP0901— GSI $1,394,469.35 Inspection $40,000.00 Construction of Bike Trail — Long Beach $200,000.00 TOTAL Page 2 $1,964,912.35 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6203 approving a joint agreement with the City of Long Beach in the amount of $200,000 for construction improvements on the San Gabriel River Bike Trail north of Pacific Coast Highway.
