EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
City of Barstow recently was authorized to solicit bids for the proposed upcoming FY 25-26 Street Rehabilitation Project. As part of this effort, staff was directed to coordinate with the San Bernardino County's Department of Public Works to explore a cooperative agreement for the County's portion of Rimrock Rd. from Avenue H to Agarita Ave. Staff recommends that the Council approve the Contract Agreement between the City of Barstow and San Bernardino County's Department of Public Works.
DISCUSSION:
City Staff has coordinated with San Bernardino County’s Department of Public Works (SBCDPW) to enter into an agreement for the County’s portion of Rimrock Road from Avenue H to Agarita Ave.
Upon coordination with SBCDPW, it was determined that a cooperative agreement could be established between the City of Barstow and San Bernardino County (SBC) for the County’s segment of roadway.
The City's legal team has reviewed the agreement and approved it as to form and legality. Under the proposed agreement, the City of Barstow would be responsible for the project management and construction inspection services. The roadway would be rehabilitated in the same consistent manner across both jurisdictions, providing uniform improvement to the roadway, minimizing pedestrian and vehicular impacts during construction, and maximizing street rehabilitation funding.
