Agenda packet — Beaumont City Council, September 5, 2023 (part 4 of 5)

Staff Report

TO: City Council
FROM: Robert Vestal, Interim Public Works Director
DATE September 5, 2023
SUBJECT: Award a Public Works Agreement to Vance Corporation for Construction of Citywide Street Rehabilitation and Maintenance Project in an Amount Not to Exceed $4,857,405 – Capital Improvement Project R-24

Description Citywide Street Rehabilitation and Maintenance Project (CIP R-24).

Background and Analysis:

On January 17, 2023, City Council approved the street selection for the 2023 Citywide Street Rehabilitation and Maintenance Project (Project) and authorized the Public Works Director to finalize the bid package and solicit bids.

Consistent with Council’s direction, staff prepared plans and specification and advertised the Project on July 27, 2023. On August 22, 2023, five (5) bids were received and publicly opened. The following is a summary of the received bids:

1. Vance Corporation $4,831,824

2. Matich Corporation $5,198,418

3. Calmex Engineering $5,943,692

4. All American Asphalt $6,127,783

5. Hardy and Harper $6,275,000

Vance Corporation is the apparent lowest responsive and responsible bidder. No bid challenges were received. Only the base bid was considered in evaluating the bids for the apparent lowest bidder. Vance Corporation had a minor irregularity in the base bid schedule, item 6 total cost. The stated total of $216,521 was incorrect and should read $220,621. The minor irregularity did not provide an advantage compared to the other bidders.

In addition to the base bid, the Project bid package included an additive bid schedule A (Additive A). Additive A allows for the mill and overlay of the alley, east of Beaumont Avenue, between Sixth Street and Seventh Street, and the connected east -west alley

portion. Vance Corporation provided an Additive A total cost of $25,581. City staff is recommending including Additive A as part of the Project construction.

City staff anticipates scheduling a preconstruction meeting with Vance Corporation within ten days of contract execution and issuing a Notice to Proceed (NTP).

Subsequently, Vance Corporation will have ten days to commence construction after the NTP is issued.

Fiscal Impact:

The cost to prepare this staff report is estimated to be $750. Construction cost for the Project will be paid from the Citywide Street Rehabilitation and Maintenance Project (CIP R-24). The following table is a summary of the Project budget:

Equipment $0 $0 $0 $0
Project Summary Totals $6,361,090 ($74,877) $0 $6,286,213

The public works agreement with Vance Corporation for construction will be in an amount not to exceed $4,857,405. Staff is recommending a construction contingency of $971,481, or approximately 20% of the public works agreement, to allow for unforeseen construction changes. The total construction amount requested at this time is therefore $5,828,886. The construction budget will be established from the available CIP budget as shown in the preceding table.

Recommended Action:

Waive all minor bid irregularities and award a Public Works Agreement to Vance Corporation for construction of Citywide Street Rehabilitation and Maintenance Project (CIP R-24) in an amount not to exceed $4,857,405; and authorize the City Manager to sign change orders up to an additional $971,481 for a total construction amount of $5,828,886.

Staff Report

TO: City Council
FROM: Robert Vestal, Interim Public Works Director
DATE September 5, 2023
SUBJECT: Baseline Agreement for Potrero Boulevard Interchange Phase II Project

Description Baseline Agreement (Agreement) for the State Route 60 (SR-60)/Potrero Boulevard Interchange Phase II Project(Project) between California Transportation Commission (CTC), the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the City of Beaumont.

Background and Analysis:

In 2010, the City began working with Caltrans to construct a new modified partial cloverleaf interchange on SR-60 with a new bridge overcrossing at Potrero Boulevard.

Due to lack of funding, the City decided to develop the project as a two-phase improvement while keeping environmental and right of way components complete for the whole Project. Phase I, which completed construction in 2020, include d the widening of Potrero Boulevard and construction of the overcrossing structure. Phase II, the subject of the Agreement, includes constructing the eastbound and westbound off - ramps and loop on-ramps to provide access to SR-60, realigning Western Knolls Avenue that fronts the freeway, and installing landscape features to complete the interchange.

In June 2016, in partnership with Caltrans, the Project received environmental clearances for its compliance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Subsequently, the City acquired all parcels needed for the entire Project and cleared utility conflicts which lead to obtaining right of way certification in June 2017. With funding contributions from the City, Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), and previously committed federal funds, Phase I construction began in 2018 and was completed in 2020.

On November 18, 2022, the City applied for 2022 Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP) grant. The purpose of the Trade Corridor Enhancement Program is to provide funding for infrastructure improvements on federally designated Trade Corridors of National and Regional Significance, on California's portion of the National Highway

Page 407 of 669 ends

Freight Network, as identified in California Freight Mobility Plan, and along other corridors that have a high volume of freight movement.

On June 29, 2023, the CTC adopted the 2022 TCEP Program of Projects, Resolution G-22-46, which includes $33,500,000 in TCEP funding for the Project.

TCEP is a reimbursement program for eligible costs incurred. An agency may begin incurring eligible costs upon allocation. However, reimbursement is dependent upon entering into an agreement with Caltrans. Therefore, staff is recommending that City Council approve the baseline agreement.

Future City Council Items associated with the Project:

 2nd Amendment to Mark Thomas Professional Service Agreement to update plans to latest Caltrans Standards
 Funding Agreement Between RCTC and City for $8,000,000 TUMF Reginal Arterial Funds
 Pre-bid Project Plans, Specifications, and Estimate Approval  Construction Award

Tentative Project Schedule:

 CTC Baseline Agreement Approval 12/7/2023
 Caltrans Right-of-Way Certification 1/2024
 CEQA/NEPA Revalidation 3/2024
 Final PS&E 5/2024
 Begin Construction 11/2024
 Construction Completion 11/2026
Fiscal Impact:

The cost to prepare this staff report is estimated to be $1,000. There is no cost associated with the approval of the Agreement. The following is an account summary for the Project with TCEP and TUMF RA funds included:

1 1. INTRODUCTION
The City of Beaumont (City), in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), proposes to construct a new modified partial cloverleaf interchange including a bridge overcrossing at State Route 60 (SR‐60) for Potrero Boulevard. Caltrans is the Lead Agency under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Alternatives considered for the proposed project beyond the “No‐Build” alternative were a spread diamond (Type L‐2) configuration, and a partial cloverleaf (Type L‐9) modified configuration. On July 11, 2012, the Project Development Team (PDT) selected the partial cloverleaf (Type L‐9) modified configuration as the “Build” alternative, herein referenced as “project.” The project is located in the western end of the City within the San Gorgonio Pass area of Riverside County. Attachment “A” shows the regional location and Attachment “B” illustrates the surrounding vicinity.

The project is identified in the City’s General Plan Circulation Element (2007) and in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2012‐2035 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). On April 4, 2012, the Regional Council of SCAG adopted the RTP/SCS. On June 4, 2012, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) found the RTP/SCS and the 2010/2011 Federal Transportation Improvement Plan (FTIP) (thru Amendment 11‐24) to conform to the applicable State Improvement Plan (SIP). The design concept and scope of the project is consistent with the project description in the RTP/SCS (ID# RIV 050535)
Due to potential funding issues, the project will be constructed in two (2) phases. Phase 1 will involve the construction of the Potrero overcrossing structure, installation of concrete median barrier throughout the project limits, and will include extending existing Potrero Boulevard, a 2‐lane local roadway, from 1,350‐ft north of the SR‐60 centerline to approximately 592‐ft south of SR‐60 centerline. A temporary connection will be made to existing Western Knolls Avenue, a 2‐lane frontage road located north of SR‐60. No ramp connections to the SR‐60 mainline will be constructed as part of Phase 1. See Attachment “S”.

Phase 2 will involve constructing the remainder of the project to include eastbound and westbound on and off ramps; and the realignment of the existing Western Knolls Avenue frontage road. See Attachment “T”.

Project costs for Phase 1 and Phase 2 are estimated to be $23.0M and $54.4M, respectively including roadway, structures, right of way, environmental mitigations, escalation, and capital outlay support. Funding for both phases will primarily come from local traffic impact fees, and federal funds provided by Demo‐SAFETEA‐LU, Federal Appropriations Earmarks, and Surface Transportation Priorities programs. Phase 1 is anticipated to start construction in Spring 2013 and be completed by Summer 2014.

2. RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that this Project Report and the Final Environmental Document be approved using the Build Alternative and that the project proceed to the next phase.

The City of Beaumont has been consulted with respect to the recommended project, their views have been considered, and the City is in general accord with the project as presented.

Construction Cooperative Agreements with the City of Beaumont were executed on January 26, 2012 and March 12, 2012 for Phase 1 (EA 34141) and Phase 2 (EA 34142) improvements, respectively. These agreements define the responsibilities of both parties in the construction phase. A separate maintenance agreement will be executed prior to the completion of the project.

3. BACKGROUND
A. Project History
On November 29, 1995, a Project Study Report (1995 PSR) was approved by Caltrans for a new interchange connection at SR‐60. A design exception for nonstandard interchange spacing was prepared and also approved by Caltrans on this same date in conjunction with requirements of Design Information Bulletin (DIB) 77 – Interchange Spacing. Soon after these approvals a Draft Project Report and Draft Environmental Document were prepared and submitted to Caltrans by the City, however, the project was put on hold due to the lack of funding and an unforeseen worsening of economic conditions. As such, all work associated with the Project Approval phase was put on hold.

Since then the City has continued to approve residential, commercial, and industrial developments north and south of SR‐60. These projects have access to and from local roadways that essentially parallel SR‐60 and then connect to Interstate 10 (I‐ 10) at Oak Valley Parkway and at Beaumont Avenue (State Route 79). As planned growth continues in the western area of the City, traffic forecasts indicate that I‐10 and SR‐60 will experience a high degree of congestion and delays unless an alternative access to the western area of the City is provided at SR‐60.

In July 2006, the City made a formal commitment to Caltrans to continue with the Project Approval/Environmental Document (PA/ED) phase for constructing a new interchange at Potrero Boulevard and SR‐60. A Cooperative Agreement for Project

3 Development, which includes PA/ED; Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E); and right of way acquisitions, was approved by the Beaumont City Council on February 5, 2008 and executed by Caltrans on February 28, 2008.

Conclusions presented in the 1995 PSR are updated as follows:

a) Interchange Justification – It was demonstrated in the 1995 PSR that existing intersections along SR‐60 (Jack Rabbit Trail) and/or local streets (Western Knolls Avenue) could not provide the necessary traffic level of service nor could they be improved to satisfactorily accommodate the design‐year traffic demands at that time. Year 2035 forecasts continue to show that increases in traffic demands from the western area of the City will degrade levels of service on the SR‐60 and I‐10 mainlines.

Forecasts indicate that the project will reduce mainline average daily traffic (ADT) as trips are diverted to local roadways via the new interchange at SR‐60 as follows:

 Eastbound SR‐60 traffic that is interacting with the area north of SR‐60 and west of I‐10 could exit at the proposed Potrero Boulevard Interchange rather than travel through the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction and then exit at the Oak Valley/I‐10 Interchange. Vice versa, the traffic from the area north of SR‐60 and west of I‐10 could go westbound on SR‐60 by entering at Potrero Boulevard rather than traveling through the Oak Valley/I‐10 Interchange and the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction.

 Eastbound SR‐60 traffic that is interacting with the area north of SR‐60 and east of I‐10 could exit at the proposed Potrero Boulevard Interchange rather than travel through the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction and then exit at the Oak Valley/I‐10 Interchange. Vice versa, the traffic from the area north of SR‐60 and east of I‐10 could go westbound on SR‐60 by entering at Potrero Boulevard rather than traveling through the Oak Valley/I‐10 Interchange and the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction.

 Eastbound SR‐60 traffic that is interacting with the area south of SR‐60 and west of I‐10 could exit at the proposed Potrero Boulevard Interchange rather than travel through the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction and then exit at the Beaumont Avenue/I‐10 Interchange. Vice versa, the traffic from the area south of SR‐60 and east of I‐10 could go westbound on SR‐60 by entering it at Potrero Boulevard rather than traveling through the Beaumont Avenue/I‐ 10 Interchange and the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction.

4 b) Consideration of Alternatives – Two (2) interchange alternatives were considered in the 1995 PSR ‐ a spread diamond configuration and a partial cloverleaf configuration. The same alternatives were considered in the current traffic analysis. See Section 5(A), “Alternatives” for more discussion. The current traffic impact analysis considered both configurations, and concluded that the partial cloverleaf configuration presents superior traffic operations over the spread diamond configuration. The spread diamond configuration increased right of way needs and impacts to the environment. More right of way acquisitions at the northwest and southwest quadrants are required which would impact the adjacent planned development (Heartland). As a result, the PDT decided to remove the spread diamond configuration from further consideration.

Other interchange locations on SR‐60 and improvements to existing interchanges were considered as follows:

 Jack Rabbit Trail/SR‐60 intersection – Providing a full access interchange at this location instead of the proposed location was considered during the alternative screening process. However, since an interchange was not included in the City’s General Plan Circulation Element or regional transportation plans governed by SCAG, RCTC, or WRCOG at this location, it was eliminated from further consideration.

 Oak Valley Parkway/I‐10 Interchange – Improvements at this interchange were considered. The City has prepared a separate PSR (EA 08‐0G280K) for this interchange which identifies improvements as a separate project.

Caltrans approved the PSR on December 15, 2009. The project did consider planned improvements by this project in the traffic impact analysis.

However, the project would not reduce service levels to current standards.

To accomplish the latter, major capacity improvements would be required with or without the project, which was deemed to be outside the scope of the project.

 Beaumont Avenue (SR 79)/I‐10 Interchange and I‐10/SR‐60 Junction – Both of these interchanges were evaluated by the traffic impact analysis, which concluded that the project will provide levels of service benefits at each location. However, the project would not reduce service levels to current standards. To accomplish the latter, major capacity improvements would be required with or without the project, which was deemed to be outside the scope of the project.

5 c) Interchange Spacing – The minimum standard interchange spacing between a freeway‐to‐freeway interchange and local street interchange is 2.0 miles. A mandatory design exception for interchange spacing was approved by Caltrans on November 28, 1995, allowing the spacing between the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction and the proposed interchange to be 1.53 miles. The location of the proposed interchange remains unchanged from what was contemplated in the 1995 PSR; therefore, the approved Fact Sheet is still “valid” and is referenced herein. The 2015 and 2035 traffic analysis concludes that all of the ramp merging and diverging points along SR‐60 associated with the project are forecasted to operate at acceptable levels of service.

d) No Significant Adverse Impact – The 1995 PSR concluded that the proposed interchange did not impact the safety and operation of SR‐60 based on year 2000 and 2020 traffic demands and would not present significant adverse impacts to the environment that could not be mitigated to less than significant.

This conclusion remains unchanged under the current project based on traffic impact analysis performed for year 2015 and 2035 and the results of environmental studies.

e) Connection to Public Roads – The 1995 PSR presented connecting Western Knolls Avenue with Potrero Boulevard by extending the existing frontage road to the west. This proposal remains unchanged in the current project, however, since the time of the 1995 PSR, the City has completed construction of a 2‐lane roadway along the Potrero Boulevard northern alignment that will begin at Oak Valley Parkway, traverse south to just north of SR‐60 and then continues east to the western terminus of existing Western Knolls Avenue. It is proposed to connect to the newly constructed improvements; however, the realignment and extension of Western Knolls Avenue to the northwest will also be constructed.

The project will also provide direct access to a future bypass route that would extend Potrero Boulevard to the south, which was not considered in the PSR.

The bypass route is currently being planned and designed by the Riverside County Transportation Department in cooperation with the City. This bypass route will extend from the proposed interchange southerly and then easterly until it intersects State Route 79 (refer to Attachment “C”). See Section 4(A), “Need for the Project”, for more discussion.

Other local roadways will connect to Potrero Boulevard in accordance with the City’s General Plan Circulation Element; namely, “B” Street, “C” Street, Willow Springs Road, and 4th Street, in the future (refer to Attachment “D”).

6 f) Meets Local Planning – the project defined in the 1995 PSR was consistent with local and regional land use plans, however, at that time it was not included in SCAG’s RTP or RTIP. Currently, the project is included in the 2008 RTP and RTIP which have also been approved by FHWA/FTA for air quality conformity. See Section 4(B) (3), “Regional Planning” for more discussion.

g) Coordination with Development – development improvements were coordinated with the locally preferred alternative in mind. Since approval of the 1995 PSR, the City continued to approve development plans within the western area of the City north and south of SR‐60. The project has been updated taking into account approved and planned developments in the western area. See Section 3(C), under “Existing Lands” for more discussion.

B. Community Interaction
On February 5, 2008, the Beaumont City Council approved entering into a Project Development Cooperative Agreement with the State for the project. Since this was a publicly noticed meeting, Caltrans considered this meeting as being part of the public scoping and disclosure process. A Public Meeting (Open House format) was publically noticed and held on June 4, 2012 at Beaumont City Hall two (2) weeks after the beginning of the circulation period of the Draft Environmental Document (DED). Caltrans and City staff attended this meeting to answer questions regarding the project. Written comments received at the meeting were collected and responses were included in the Final Environmental Document (FED).

C. Existing Facility
State Route 60

A connection to SR‐60 does not exist at the project location. Currently, the portion of SR‐60 between Jack Rabbit Trail and Interstate 10 (I‐10)/SR‐60 Junction is a conventional 4‐lane divided highway (2 lanes in each direction) with two (2) intersections and three (3) access openings. Within the project limits, the existing SR‐60 mainline right of way varies in width and accommodates four (4) – 12‐ft lanes of traffic (two in each direction); standard 8‐ft shoulders; and a median width that varies from 21‐ft to 26‐ft.

As‐built plans indicate that the existing travel lanes are underlain by 0.40‐ft of asphalt pavement over 0.67‐ft of cement treated base (CTB) over 0.67‐ft of sub‐ base material. However, pavement core samples taken within the project area indicate that the CTB and sub‐base material does not exist. Asphalt pavement thicknesses along the eastbound lane (No. 1) and shoulder varied from 0.92‐ft to

1.29‐ft. Along westbound lane (No. 1) and shoulder, the thickness varied from

7 0.88‐ft to 1.48‐ft. A recent maintenance project constructed by Caltrans installed a

0.1‐ft layer of rubberized hot mix asphalt (RHMA) over the travel lanes. Field reviews did not find significant areas of pavement distress within the limits of the project.

The existing mainline pavement section, constructed in the 1956, was evaluated for remaining service life and it was determined that it should be removed and replaced with a rigid pavement section. This was deemed to be outside the scope of the project.

Along the SR‐60 mainline, an existing bridge (San Timoteo Creek Bridge No. 56‐ 0065) crosses Coopers Creek which is a tributary to San Timoteo Creek. On‐site drainage flows enter parallel drainage ditches within the median and along the outside edges of the mainline. Flows collected in the median ditches are conveyed through underground pipelines to the mainline edges, and then to Coopers Creek via earthen and concrete drainage swales.

The existing intersections and access openings are shown on Attachment “E” and are described as follows:

 Jack Rabbit Trail (JRT) (PM 27.97) is an existing at‐grade intersection at SR‐60.

Eastbound traffic on SR‐60 can exit from the mainline to southbound JRT from via an off‐ramp. Westbound traffic on SR‐60 can access southbound JRT from a dedicated left turn pocket that allows vehicles to cross eastbound SR‐60 lanes.

Northbound JRT traffic can turn left onto westbound SR‐60 lanes and continue eastbound onto SR‐60 via an on‐ramp.

 Location 1 (PM 28.48) is a 20‐ft opening in access control that allows ingress and egress to private lands and an existing cell tower site south of SR‐60.

 Location 2 (PM 29.40) is a 30‐ft opening in access control that allows ingress and egress to private land located south of SR‐60.

 Location 3 (PM 29.40) is an existing at‐grade intersection at the western end of Western Knolls Avenue (WKA), a 2‐lane frontage road located along the north side of SR‐60. A concrete median barrier was constructed by Caltrans (from PM

28.2 to PM 29.9) at this location to prevent vehicles from crossing the SR‐60 median. Right‐in and right‐out movements are currently allowed.

 Location 4 (PM 29.93) is an existing at‐grade intersection with the same WKA frontage road at its eastern end. Eastbound traffic on SR‐60 can turn left into

8 the frontage road using a dedicated left turn pocket. Traffic destined for eastbound SR‐60 can cross the westbound SR‐60 lanes; then wait in the median until they can proceed onto eastbound SR‐60 traffic lanes.

Additionally, an operating business (Dowling Orchards) exists at this location along the south side of SR‐60. Eastbound traffic on SR‐60 can exit and enter the mainline at this location. Westbound traffic on SR‐60 can turn left from the mainline to enter this location and turn left from the location to continue westbound. These cross‐median movements are not compatible with the traffic demands and current freeway speeds along SR‐60.

Interstate 10

Interstate 10 is a 6‐lane freeway (3 lanes in each direction) with standard 10‐ft shoulders and a median width of 36‐ft. The I‐10/SR‐60 Junction, located between Oak Valley Parkway Interchange and Beaumont Avenue (SR 79) Interchange, is a freeway‐to‐freeway interchange.

Both I‐10 and SR‐60 are functionally classified as Urban Principal Arterials; are listed in the California Freeway and Expressway System; included in the National Network for Federal Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) for Oversized Trucks; are in the Transportation Gateways of Statewide Significance; and are Intermodal Corridors of Economic Significance (ICES) in Caltrans Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan (ITSP).

Local Roadways

The City constructed a new 2‐lane roadway that extends westerly from Western Knolls Avenue and then continues to the north along the Potrero Boulevard alignment to Oak Valley Parkway, a major east‐west arterial roadway. Other local roadways, such as 4th Street, a parallel roadway south of SR‐60, provide access to existing, planned, and future commercial/industrial developments located immediately south of SR‐60. Together, these local roadways provide access to the western area of the City (refer to Attachment “F”).

Existing Lands

The existing lands surrounding the location of the project are mainly vacant and undeveloped. Access to these lands occurs primarily from the local roadways mentioned above. A single residential unit and a few commercial businesses are located north of SR‐60 and west of the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction.

9 Site grading and other construction activities are on‐going northwest of the project for what is commonly known as the Heartland project, a large‐scale development that will consist of more than 1,000 residential homes and commercial areas located to the west of Potrero Boulevard and north of SR‐60. Attachment “F” depicts the state of developed and undeveloped lands in the project area as of 2009. Attachment “G” depicts the designated land uses included in the City of Beaumont General Plan (2007) which guides the future development of the lands surrounding the project. Attachment “H” identifies the planned development projects north and south of SR‐60 within the vicinity of the project.

Existing Access and Interchange Configurations
Existing access to SR‐60 occurs at the Jack Rabbit Trail Interchange and the I‐10/SR‐ 60 Junction. Table 3.1 presents a summary of the distances anticipated between these existing access points and the project with their respective interchange configurations:

Table 3.1 – Interchange Distances from Proposed Interchange Location PM Configuration Distance from Proposed

intersection 0.94
Proposed Potrero
Boulevard IC 28.91 Modified Type L‐9 0.00
I‐10/SR‐60 Junction 30.44 Freeway‐to‐Freeway 1.53

Anticipated impacts to these adjacent interchanges and intersections due to the project are as follows:

 Operational analysis indicates that traffic demands for the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction will decrease in the year 2035 with the project. Surface ramp intersections at the Junction are forecasted to operate at levels of service (LOS) “F” without the project. They will operate at LOS “A” with the project. See Section 4(C), “Traffic” for more discussion.
 The interchange spacing between the existing I‐10/SR‐60 Junction and the proposed interchange will not meet standard interchange spacing requirements of two (2) miles per Design Information Bulletin (DIB) 77. A Fact Sheet for

10 nonstandard interchange spacing of 1.53 miles was approved by Caltrans on November 29, 1995.
 The spacing between the existing Jack Rabbit Trail intersection and the proposed interchange exceeds the spacing requirements of 1/2 mile for openings along expressways. The spacing between the proposed interchange and this intersection was approved with the November 29, 1995 Fact Sheet.

This intersection experiences very low traffic volumes (less than 100 average daily traffic). Therefore, no impacts to its operations are anticipated due to the project.

4. NEED and PURPOSE
A. Problem, Deficiencies, Justification
The Need and Purpose for the project was reviewed and approved by the Project Development Team (PDT) in June 2011.  The purpose of the project is to:
 Provide access between north and south of, and full access to, SR‐60  Improve mainline operations along State Route 60 (SR‐60) by eliminating cross barrier traffic and access openings
 Reduce forecasted mainline congestion
Need for the Project
The project is being initiated by the City of Beaumont to mitigate increased traffic volumes in the area associated with future development and to implement the City’s General Plan.  Significant growth is anticipated in the near future in this area from approved development.  There is currently no access from north of SR‐60 to the south except via crossing the expressway median at Western Knolls Avenue (East).
a) Need to provide access between north and south of, and full access to, SR‐60 ‐ In its current condition the SR‐60 mainline effectively acts as a physical barrier between developed and undeveloped lands located north and south of the mainline.  Access to existing lands (developed and undeveloped) with in the western area of the City is limited to two interchanges along I‐10 – at Oak Valley Parkway (OVP) and Beaumont Avenue (SR‐79). Traffic analyses show that as growth increases in the western area, these interchanges, as well as, SR‐60 and I‐10 would degrade in level of service.  The new interchange would provide a north‐south crossing (Potrero Boulevard) at SR‐60 that would allow for a redistribution of traffic into and within the western area of the City.  The City’s General Plan Circulation Element calls for the new interchange and the north‐ south roadway connection to existing east‐west roadways, OVP and 4th Street.

11 The project would provide a new north‐south roadway overcrossing (Potrero Boulevard) at SR‐60. This overcrossing would allow local traffic destined for the western area of the City to move across SR‐60 without affecting SR‐60 mainline operations. Additionally, the north‐south crossing would reduce east‐west traffic that must use the Oak Valley Parkway and Beaumont Avenue (SR‐79) interchanges.
b) Need to improve mainline operations along SR‐60 by eliminating cross barrier traffic and access openings ‐ Along SR‐60, traffic flows along the eastbound and westbound mainline lanes are affected by existing at‐grade intersections located at Jack Rabbit Trail; at the east and west ends of Western Knolls Avenue (a 2‐lane frontage road located on the north side of the mainline); and at three (3) other access openings located along the south side of the mainline. Vehicles exit and enter SR‐60 from these intersections and access openings while mainline traffic travels at high speeds, sometimes in excess of 70 miles per hour.

Table 4.6 presents a summary of accident information obtained from Caltrans’ Traffic Accident Surveillance and Analysis System (TASAS) Table B Report from July 1, 2006 thru March 31, 2010. Attachment “E” identifies these intersections and access openings.
c) Need to reduce forecasted mainline congestion ‐ Year 2035 traffic forecasts along SR‐60 and I‐10 indicate that mainline levels of service would degrade to unacceptable levels of service, resulting in increased congestion and delays to local and regional traffic Existing 2010 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes along SR‐60 are 51,300 vehicles per day (vpd). Forecasted 2035 ADT along SR‐ 60 would increase by 171.7%. Along I‐10, existing 2010 ADT are 103,700 vpd west of the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction and 144,800 vpd east of the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction. Forecasted 2035 ADT along I‐10 would increase respectively by 102.4% and 70.4%.

Due to these forecasted increases in traffic demands, the mainline freeways (SR‐60 and I‐10) and existing interchanges at Oak Valley Parkway/I‐10, Beaumont Avenue (SR‐79)/I‐10, and the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction would degrade to unacceptable levels of service that would result in severe congestion and impacts to the travelling public.

To address this condition, the City is sponsoring the project, a new interchange on SR‐60 that would effectively change travel patterns within the western area of the City. The project acting in conjunction with other planned local roadways would result in providing relief to the areas of future congestion noted earlier by removing traffic from SR‐60 and I‐10 to the local roadway system.

12 B. Regional & System Planning
1) Identified Systems

The project will be located on SR‐60 which provides interregional mobility between the commercial centers of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino areas. Within District 8 in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, SR‐60 extends a distance of approximately 40.5 miles as an east‐west Principal Arterial. SR‐60 varies in width from four (4) lanes in rural areas to ten (10) lanes in urbanized areas. The total length of the route is approximately 70.4 miles beginning near the junction of I‐5 and I‐10 in Los Angeles County and terminates at the junction with I‐10 in the City and in Riverside County.

2) State Planning

In August 1999, Caltrans adopted a Route Concept Fact Sheet (RCFS) for SR‐60 between San Bernardino (PM R0.0) and Riverside (PM R30.5). The RCFS calls for expanding SR‐60 from four (4) lanes to eight (8) lanes from Perris Boulevard to the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction. Two of the additional lanes are planned to be High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes (one in each direction) within the latter Post Mile (PM) limits and beyond.

Caltrans is in the process of preparing a final draft of a Transportation Corridor Concept Report (TCCR) for SR‐60. A preliminary analysis of the segment that the project lies within indicates that in order to maintain a concept Level of Service “D” through 2035, three (3) lanes (in each direction) built to freeway standards plus two (2) HOV lanes are needed. The Ultimate Transportation Corridor (UTC) requires adequate right of way for five (5) lanes (four mixed‐flow and one HOV) in each direction on the mainline for a total of ten (10) lanes. This does not include right of way for auxiliary lanes and sound walls which may be needed as the area continues to develop.

The design of the proposed Potrero Boulevard overcrossing bridge structure is planned to accommodate the ten (10) lane freeway section. When implemented, slope paving adjacent to the eastbound and westbound loop on‐ramps will be removed and replaced with tie‐back retaining walls.

Attachment “I” depicts how the proposed bridge structure will accommodate eight (8) and ten (10) freeway lanes on SR‐60.

13 3) Regional Planning
The project is identified in the City’s General Plan Circulation Element (2007) and in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2012‐2035 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities (RTP/SCS). On April 4, 2012, the Regional Council of SCAG adopted the RTP/SCS. On June 4, 2012, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) found the RTP/SCS and the 2010/2011 Federal Transportation Improvement Plan (FTIP) (thru Amendment 11‐24) to conform to the applicable State Improvement Plan (SIP). The design concept and scope of the project is consistent with the project description in the RTP/SCS (ID# RIV 050535)

4) Local Planning

The project is included in the March 2007 City of Beaumont General Plan Circulation Element. The new Potrero Boulevard/Western Knolls Avenue intersection is shown as Potrero Boulevard/“C” Street in this document. The project is identified in the Western Riverside Council of Governments Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program, and the County of Riverside General Plan.

5) Transit Operator Planning
The project is located on SR‐60, providing linkage between the western area of the City and interregional travel between the commercial centers of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino areas. The Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) provides regional bus service between the cities of Riverside, Banning, Beaumont, and Moreno Valley using SR‐60 thru the following systems:
 Line 35 – from the Moreno Valley Mall (in Moreno Valley) with stops at K‐ Mart, two Walmart’s (one in Moreno Valley and the other in the Beaumont/Banning area), and the Riverside County Medical Center.

 Line 210 – from Banning and Beaumont to Downtown Riverside Terminal via Moreno Valley and Riverside Metrolink Station.

Regional bus services from these Lines are coordinated with Pass Transit, which serves the local communities of Beaumont and Banning. The project would not affect existing bus services.

14 C. Traffic
1) Existing and Forecasted Freeway Mainline Volumes

Congestion along SR‐60 is attributed to heavy commuter traffic during the weekdays. Congestion and delays are expected to increase along with the continued growth that is projected for the region. Table 4.1 presents existing 2010 Average Daily Traffic (ADT), forecasted ADT for year 2015 (opening year), and forecasted ADT for year 2035 as follows:

Source: SR‐60/Potrero Interchange Traffic Impact Analysis (March 2010)

As can be seen, 2015 and 2035 ADT volumes along SR‐60 will increase with or without the project. However, with the project, a reduction of 2015 ADT volumes equaling 10,500 trips (or 7.5%) is forecasted in the year 2035. Year 2015 forecasts show that a 4,200 trip (or 6.2%) reduction is expected. These ADT reductions will directly benefit the SR‐60 mainline operations as congestion and delays are minimized.

Table 4.2 compares 2015 and 2035 ADT volumes along I‐10. Similarly, ADTs on this facility will increase with or without the project. However, with the project, a reduction of 2015 ADT volumes equaling 10,500 trips (or 2.9%) west of I‐10/SR‐60 Junction and 2,000 trips (or 1.2%) east of I‐10/SR‐60 Junction is forecasted. In 2035, ADT volumes will reduce by 50,000 trips (or 15.5%) west of the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction with no change east of the I‐10/SR‐60 Junction.

These results indicate that I‐10 mainline operations will also benefit from the project in reducing congestion and delays.

Table 4.3 and Table 4.4 compares mainline forecasted LOS along I‐10 and SR‐ 60 in the morning (AM) and evening (PM) “peak periods” with the project and without the project. Black colored cells highlight LOS “F” conditions and grey cells highlight LOS “E” conditions. Under these conditions, the travelling public will encounter significant and considerable delays. The comparison illustrates the benefits that the project will provide to the traveling public.

2) Projected Traffic Volumes

The projected traffic volumes at studied intersections for Year 2015 and 2035 with and without the project are presented in Table 4.5. The LOS for intersections studied within the project area is improved or remain unchanged with the project except for under the following Year 2035 conditions:

a) Intersection #6 ‐ Potrero Blvd and “C” Street – AM LOS lowered from “C” to “D”. The lower LOS is within acceptable levels per City standards. Note that this intersection coincides with the new Potrero Blvd/Western Knolls Avenue intersection.

b) Intersection #10 – I‐10 EB Ramps/Oak Valley Pkwy – AM LOS lowered from “C” to “F”. PM LOS is “F” with or without the new interchange.

19 3) Impacts to Existing Interchanges

a) Jack Rabbit Trail Intersection – No impacts will occur at this interchange due to the project. Since existing and projected traffic volumes are relatively low, LOS degradations will be nominal. In the approved traffic analysis, this interchange is removed in 2035 assuming that a local roadway south of and parallel to SR‐60 will be constructed prior to this year.

b) I‐10/SR‐60 Junction – Once constructed, the project significantly changes the overall circulation pattern within the project area. In year 2035, up to 708 vehicles per hour will be removed from this Junction as the traveling public will have other options to access adjacent residential communities and commercial businesses. Per Table 4.5, the Junction will operate at LOS “A” in both the AM and PM peak hour. Without the proposed interchange, the Junction would operate at LOS “B” and “F” levels in the AM and PM peak hour, respectively.

c) I‐10/Oak Valley Parkway Interchange – As noted, once constructed, the project will improve the level of service at the westbound ramps.

However, level of service for eastbound ramps will degrade in the AM period from “C” to “F”. A separate Project Study Report (EA 08‐0G280K) for this interchange was approved by Caltrans on December 15, 2009.

Results of that study indicate that the LOS for the eastbound ramps will operate at LOS A in the AM period and LOS B in the PM period under year 2030 conditions.

d) I‐10/Beaumont Avenue (SR‐79) Interchange – The westbound ramps at this interchange operate at LOS “F” with or without the interchange.

Significant improvement to the AM LOS occurs after the proposed project is constructed (“F” to “A”), however, PM LOS remains at “F” levels with or without the proposed interchange. Currently, there are no plans to improve this interchange by the City or Caltrans. Any improvements to this interchange would be outside the scope of the project.

4) Freeway Mainline and Ramps

Tables 4.3 and 4.4 indicate that the LOS for the SR‐60 mainline will improve as a result of the project. This is due to the distribution of traffic off SR‐60 to the local roadway systems. Table 4.5 shows that the ramp intersections at the proposed interchange will operate in 2035 for the westbound ramp termini at LOS “B” in the AM peak hour and LOS “B” in the PM peak hour.

February 2013

20 The eastbound ramp termini will operate at LOS “A” and LOS “B’ for the AM and PM peak hours, respectively.

5) Intersection Levels of Service

Per Table 4.5, out of the fifteen (15) intersections studied, all will either improve in LOS due to the project or will remain unchanged from existing deficiencies. The Beaumont Avenue (SR‐79)/I‐10 interchange will have some operational improvements in 2035 at the eastbound ramp intersection due to the project. The westbound ramp intersection will have operational improvements from the project in 2015. However, it is recommended that a separate operational analysis for this interchange be done separately.

6) Accident Rates

Table 4.6 presents a summary of accident information obtained from the Traffic Accident Surveillance and Analysis System (TASAS) Table B Report from July 1, 2006 thru March 31, 2010.

Factors that could play a role in causing the types of accidents indicated in Table 4.6 are: driving under the influence (DUI), speeding, not paying attention, slippery roadway due to rain, following too close, fog, etc.

Caltrans constructed a concrete (Type 60) median barrier between PM 28.8 and PM 29.9 in November 2007 (EA 0G460) at the western end of the Western Knolls Avenue intersection to restrict movements to right‐in/right‐ out from westbound SR‐60 traffic. All movements to and from SR‐60 at this intersection and at the eastern intersection at Western Knolls Avenue (WKA) will be closed as part of Phase 2. A cul‐de‐sac will also be constructed at the eastern end of WKA.

As can be seen from Table 4.6, under “Actual Accident Rates” fatality and injury accidents along SR‐60 and at Jack Rabbit Trail are below the “Statewide Average Accident Rates” for similar types of state highways. At Locations 1, 2, 3, and 4 the total “Actual Accident Rates” (highlighted in bold text) exceed the total “Statewide Average Accident Rates.” The number and types of accidents that occurred at these locations are shown in Table 4.7.

The project would close and remove the intersections at Locations 3 and 4 (Western Knolls Avenue [East and West]) and the access openings to SR‐60 at Locations 1 and 2, which should reduce the number of accidents shown above.  Access from Location 1 would remain in place to perpetuate access to lands located south of SR‐60 under Phase 1; however, the City intends to close this access by requiring the construction of a local frontage road as a condition of future development or as an independent project prior to the completion of Phase 2.

Source: Caltrans TASAS (July 1, 2006 thru March 31, 2010) Access to businesses and residences along Western Knolls Avenue would be provided from the new interchange and the westerly extension of Western Knolls Avenue until it intersects Potrero Boulevard. Access to the existing business, Dowling Orchards (at Location 4), will be provided via the construction of a new roadway extending from 4th Street as part of the Dowling Business Park development. Access from SR‐60 would remain until the new roadway is constructed prior to the completion of Phase 2. The Jack Rabbit Trail intersection will continue to remain in place. The Western Knoll Avenue intersections would ultimately be removed. It is anticipated that removal of the intersections and access openings would reduce collisions and injuries that are occurring along present day SR‐60.

23 5. ALTERNATIVES
The project has been assigned to Project Development Category 3 because it is a new interchange on a previously constructed access controlled route requiring new right of way.

A. Viable Alternatives
Three (3) alternatives were identified and considered for the project as follows:

 No Build – No improvements proposed.

 Partial Cloverleaf (Locally Preferred Alternative) ‐ Construct a new modified partial cloverleaf interchange (Type L‐9).

 Spread Diamond ‐ Construct a new spread diamond interchange (Type L‐2).

A Value Analysis (VA) study was done and confirmed the Partial Cloverleaf configuration as the locally preferred alternative for the new connection to SR‐60.

Preliminary engineering was performed to develop the ultimate geometric layout for the partial cloverleaf configuration to establish future right of way limits and to develop overall environmental impacts.

The PDT selected the Partial Cloverleaf alternative as the proposed build project on July 11, 2012.

1) Proposed Engineering Features/Considerations:

The project will include the following engineering features/considerations:

a) A modified Type L‐9 interchange configuration will be constructed.

b) Potrero Boulevard will be constructed to six (6) lanes (three northbound and three southbound) between Willow Springs Parkway and Western Knolls Avenue.

c) Traffic signals will be constructed along Potrero Boulevard at the following locations:

1. Eastbound ramps termini (new)

2. Westbound ramps termini (new)

3. Potrero Boulevard and Western Knolls Avenue (new)

24 d) A six (6)‐lane overcrossing bridge structure at SR‐60 (three lanes in each direction) with a 14‐ft raised median separation, one 14‐ft inside lane in each direction; two 12‐ft lanes in each direction; 10‐ft shoulders, and 6‐ ft pedestrian sidewalks on both sides.

e) The existing SR‐60 mainline bridge (San Timoteo Creek Bridge No. 56‐ 0065) crossing Coopers Creek will be widened to the south to accommodate the approach auxiliary lane to the eastbound off‐ramp.

f) The eastbound off ramp, eastbound diagonal on ramp and eastbound loop on ramp will be constructed to 2035 lane requirements. Ramp metering infrastructure and CHP enforcement areas will be provided on the on ramps.

g) The westbound off ramp, westbound loop on ramp, and westbound diagonal on ramp will be constructed to 2035 lane requirements. Ramp metering infrastructure and CHP enforcement areas will be provided on the on ramps.

h) A westbound and eastbound approach auxiliary lane will be constructed in advance of the eastbound and westbound off ramps.

The design of the pavement section for the auxiliary lanes will consider these lanes to be future mixed flow lanes.

i) Right of way will be acquired for the interchange and local roadway improvements.

j) Western Knolls Avenue will be realigned and extended from its western terminus to Potrero Boulevard. One lane each direction will be constructed with 8‐foot shoulders.

k) Existing utilities that interfere with the project will be relocated.

Interfering utilities such as overhead power lines and underground pipelines that will lie within the proposed State right of way will be relocated outside State right of way. Utility easements for the relocated utilities will be acquired.

l) Retaining walls will be constructed along the south side of the eastbound off ramp and along the north and south sides of the westbound diagonal on ramp.

25 2) Phased Interchange Features

Currently, planned developments located north and south of SR‐60 have slowed down in construction due to a depressed economy. Additionally, obtaining full funding for construction of the entire project is also difficult due to economic conditions. To move the project forward, the City has decided to construct the project into two (2) phases. The first phase will construct a 6‐lane bridge overcrossing at SR‐60 that will provide better north‐ south circulation within the western area. There will be no connection to SR‐ 60 in this phase. The second phase will construct the remaining portion of the project that will provide for ramp connections to the mainline.

Construction of the second phase is anticipated to be completed by Summer 2015.

Accordingly, the engineering features of the two phases are described as follows:

PHASE 1 (See Attachment “S”)

 Potrero Boulevard will be constructed to two (2) lanes (one in each direction) starting approximately 592 feet south of SR‐60 centerline and ending approximately 1,350 feet north of SR‐60 centerline until it connects to existing Potrero Boulevard.

 Demolition of portions of the existing 2‐lane Potrero Boulevard/Western Knolls Avenue roadway and construction of a new intersection just north of SR‐60.

 Construct a new six (6)‐lane bridge overcrossing striped for two lanes at SR‐60. The bridge overcrossing will ultimately accommodate a 14‐ft raised median separation, one 14‐ft inside lane in each direction, two 12‐ ft lanes in each direction, 10‐ft shoulders, and a 6‐ft pedestrian sidewalk on both sides.

 Remove existing median pavement and construct a new concrete median barrier, new median pavement along SR‐60 across the eastern Western Knolls Avenue intersection, and new metal beam guardrail. Access to SR‐ 60 would be restricted to right‐in/right‐out movements at Western Knolls Avenue (east and west ends) and at the Dowling Orchards access.

26  Existing utilities that are in conflict with the above‐mentioned improvements would be relocated. Easements for the relocated utilities will be acquired during Phase 1.

 Right of way will be acquired for Phase 1 needs only.

 Maintain existing opening in access control to existing parcel located at PM 28.48 on south side of SR‐60.

 Permits from resource agencies and associated costs for mitigation banks for Phase 1 impacts only.

PHASE 2 (See Attachment “T”)

 A Type L‐9 (modified) interchange configuration will be constructed.

 Widen Potrero Boulevard to six (6) lanes (three northbound and three southbound) between the eastbound ramp termini and relocated Western Knolls Avenue intersection.

 Traffic signals will be constructed along Potrero Boulevard at the following locations:

 Eastbound ramps termini (new)
 Westbound ramps termini (new)
 Potrero Boulevard/Western Knolls Avenue (new)

 Widen the existing SR‐60 mainline bridge (San Timoteo Creek Bridge No. 56‐0065) crossing Coopers Creek to the south to accommodate the approach auxiliary lane to the eastbound off‐ramp.

 Construct the eastbound off ramp, eastbound loop on ramp, and eastbound diagonal on ramp. Ramp metering infrastructure, maintenance pull‐outs, and CHP enforcement areas will be provided on the on ramps.

 Construct the westbound off ramp, westbound loop on ramp, and westbound diagonal on ramp. Ramp metering infrastructure, maintenance pull‐outs, and California Highway Patrol (CHP) enforcement areas will be provided on the on ramps.

27  An auxiliary lane will be constructed in advance of the eastbound and westbound off ramps. The design of the pavement section for the auxiliary lanes will consider these lanes to be future mixed flow lanes.

 Western Knolls Avenue would be realigned from its western terminus to Potrero Boulevard to the existing frontage roadway. One 12‐ft lane in each direction will be constructed with 8‐ft shoulders.

 Retaining walls will be constructed along the south side of the eastbound off ramp and along the north and south sides of the westbound diagonal on ramp.

 Right of way will be acquired for Phase 2 needs.

 Remove access opening to existing parcel located at PM 28.48 on south side of SR‐60.

 Remove the Western Knolls Avenue and Dowling Orchard access intersections at SR‐60.

 Permits from resource agencies and associated costs for mitigation banks for Phase 2 impacts only.

3) Nonstandard Mandatory and Advisory Design Features

No exceptions to Advisory Design Standards are anticipated.

Caltrans has reviewed and approved the following documents associated with exceptions to Mandatory Design Standards. These exceptions are consistent with current Highway Design Manual standards:

a) A Fact Sheet Exception to Mandatory Design Standards was reviewed and approved by Mr. Ron Nelson, Project Development Coordinator for OPPD on November 28, 1995 (see Attachment “Q”). Design exceptions that were involved with this approval included a reduction in interchange spacing between the proposed interchange and the I‐ 10/SR‐60 freeway‐to‐freeway junction (2.0 miles to 1.5 miles).

b) A Fact Sheet Exception to Mandatory Design Standards was reviewed and approved by Mr. Luis Betancourt, Design Coordinator, HQ Division of Design on January 12, 2012. Design exceptions that were involved with this approval included existing nonstandard curve radii and

28 nonstandard site distances along the SR‐60 mainline between Station 342+90 and Station 393+97.

The following nonstandard design features are identified but are deemed to be outside the construction limits of the project:

c) The ramp from eastbound I‐10 to westbound SR‐60 has a lane convergence of 16:1. The Highway Design Manual (HDM) advisory design standard calls for a convergence of 50:1.

d) The median width along SR‐60 at the westbound left turn pocket at Jack Rabbit Trail intersection is 9‐ft. The HDM mandatory design standard calls for a 12‐ft minimum median width for multilane conventional highways in rural areas.

4) Interim Features

Prior to the construction of Phase 1 improvements, the City plans to construct interim improvements, as a separate project, which will include an acceleration/deceleration lane along westbound SR‐60 at the Western Knolls Avenue (West) intersection. The eastern intersection of Western Knolls Avenue at SR‐60 will remain open as it exists today. The interim improvements will allow safer traffic movements at Western Knolls Avenue (West) until both intersections are removed under Phase 2. Attachment “U” includes an exhibit that depicts the limits of the interim improvements. A separate environmental clearance will be obtained for the interim improvements. Construction costs for the interim improvements are estimated to be $2.2M.

On October 19, 2011, Caltrans approved a Supplemental Traffic Impact Analysis for Phase 1 that determined anticipated levels of service at existing and proposed intersections at Western Knolls Avenue and at SR‐60. The results of this analysis indicate that the proposed Phase 1 improvements, in conjunction with the interim improvements, will support future traffic demands. In addition, these improvements are anticipated to continue to maintain acceptable peak hour operations at the mainline access intersections and along the SR‐60 Freeway until Year 2015 conditions. Table 5‐1 and Table 5‐2 present the anticipated Levels of Service (LOS) for specific intersection locations and SR‐60 mainline segments respectively.

Intersection LOS deficiencies indicated in Year 2015 and 2025 will be eliminated upon construction of Phase 2 improvements which is scheduled to be completed by 2014.

31 5) High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Bus and Carpool Lanes

HOV lanes are not being constructed as part of the project. HOV bypass lanes will be provided on the eastbound diagonal and loop on ramps; and on the westbound diagonal and loop on ramps. The provision for HOV bypass lanes for these ramps is consistent with the “Route Concept Fact Sheet for State Route 60”, dated August 1999 as prepared by Caltrans.

6) Ramp Metering

Traffic operating system infrastructure for ramp metering will be installed at each on ramp by the project.

7) CHP Enforcement Areas

CHP enforcement areas will be included on each on ramp.

8) Park and Ride Facilities

Coordination with the District Park and Ride Coordinator indicates that there are no requirements for providing park and ride facilities for this project.

9) Utility and Other Owner Involvement

Utilities within the project area are owned and operated by the following purveyors:

 Southern California Edison (overhead and underground electric);  Questar Gas Company (underground gas);
 Southern California Gas (underground gas);
 Level 3 Communication (fiber optics);
 Verizon (telephone), and
 City of Beaumont (sanitary sewer).

Attachment “S” and Attachment “T” depicts the preliminary relocation of existing utilities within the project area according to records received from the utility purveyors for Phase 1 and Phase 2 respectively.

32 Southern California Edison has overhead electric lines located parallel, to the south side of SR‐60 from Station (STA) 350+00 to 372+50 and along the north side of SR‐ 60 from STA 357+20 to 423+00 (A‐Line). There are perpendicular crossings at STA 357+00, 370+50, 372+50, 395+80 (A‐Line), and STA 419+90 (NR‐Line). Relocation of portions of these overhead electric lines will be required to avoid conflicts with the proposed improvements or to place them outside the future State right of way. An overhead electric line crossing SR‐60 at STA 395+80 (A‐Line) will be removed to avoid direct conflict with the proposed overcrossing. The electric lines crossing at STA 370+50 and 372+50 (A‐Line) will be combined and relocated.

Southern California Gas Company has a 4‐inch distribution gas line running parallel to the entire length of Western Knolls Avenue and it eventually crosses SR‐60 at STA 322+00 (NR‐Line). Relocation of this utility is not anticipated at this time.

Questar Gas Company has a 16‐inch transmission gas line that crosses Potrero Boulevard at STA 476+60 (P‐Line) and the proposed Western Knolls Avenue realignment at STA 11+20 and STA 14+40 (WK‐Line). This utility also crosses the westbound off‐ramp at STA 407+20 (WB1 Line); SR‐60 at STA 407+70 (A‐Line); and the eastbound on‐ramp at STA 408+05 (EB2 ‐ Line).

Beaumont‐Cherry Valley Water District has planned two future 24‐inch potable water lines and one 24‐inch reclaimed water line located along Potrero Boulevard north of SR‐60. No water pipelines exist at the interchange location today. The City of Beaumont is working with future developments located north and south of SR‐60 to bring water pipelines to the interchange area. A temporary well station may be required at the interchange location to provide irrigation water for proposed landscaping.

The City of Beaumont has an abandoned sanitary sewer pump station located on the north side of SR‐60 at STA 468+50 (P‐Line). This abandoned sewer pump station will be removed to avoid conflict with the proposed northern abutment of the Potrero Boulevard overcrossing. In addition, conflicting portions of abandoned 12‐inch and 24‐inch sanitary sewer pipelines located in the northeast quadrant of the interchange will be removed to avoid conflicts with proposed drainage improvements.

The City of Beaumont has a sewer force main that lies within the proposed right of way. This sewer force main will be relocated to be parallel to the westbound off‐ ramp and outside the proposed State right of way.

33 10) Railroad Involvement

There is no railroad involvement in this project.

11) Highway Planting

Existing vegetation will be removed as part of the project. The impacted area of existing vegetation is 30.11 acres. A separate contract for new highway planting will follow the road construction project. Attachment “J” includes a conceptual plan for landscaping improvements at the project site. A budget for highway planting and irrigation is included in the project cost estimate.

12) Erosion Control

Each stage of construction will include temporary erosion control measures.

Permanent erosion control measures will be included where appropriate. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be required prior to construction operations. A Storm Water Data Report (SWDR) has been prepared for the project.

Attachment “M” includes the approved title page of the SWDR.

13) Noise Barriers

Noise analyses conducted for the project indicate that the closest and only sensitive noise receptor in the project vicinity is located more than 1,500 feet from the proposed interchange. Due to this distance, no impacts are anticipated at the sensitive receptor, therefore, no sound walls are proposed.

Based on the above, a Noise Abatement Decision Report (NADR) is not required for the project.

14) Non‐Motorized and Pedestrian Features

The project provides for pedestrian access along the west and east sides of Potrero Boulevard using a 6‐ft wide sidewalk. Curb ramps will be provided at the ramp termini using State standards. Curb ramps at intersections outside State right of way will use City standards. All ramps will be designed in accordance with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). City standard 10‐ft wide shoulders along both sides of Potrero Boulevard will be available for bicycle traffic.

Lighting standards, electrical cabinets, fire hydrants, signs and other fixed objects will be located beyond the back of sidewalk to provide an unobstructed area for

34 pedestrians. Type “D” detector loops will be installed at new traffic signals to detect bicycles and motorcycles to meet the requirements of Assembly Bill 1581.

Pedestrian signals will be provided at the eastbound and westbound on‐ramps to allow pedestrians to cross these two‐lane ramps more safely.

15) Retaining Walls and Bridge Structures

Retaining walls and bridge railings constructed for the project will receive aesthetic surface treatments to soften their appearance with respect to the surrounding environment. Attachment “K” presents draft aesthetic treatments for the proposed Potrero Boulevard bridge overcrossing structure at SR‐60.

16) Life Cycle Cost Analysis

A Materials Report (MR) was approved by Caltrans on December 12, 2011. A Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) was prepared for the project to determine the optimum pavement design section that will lower life‐cycle cost for the project. New ramps and auxiliary lanes were considered in the analysis. Traffic Indices (TI) for the SR‐60 mainline (based on an opening year of 2015) were approved by Mr. Gary Green, Office Chief, Office of Forecasting on August 2, 2011 and are shown in Table 5.3.

35 Auxiliary lanes pavement sections at the westbound and eastbound off‐ramps will be designed based on the 40‐year TI values shown in the preceding table. Ramp pavement sections will be designed in accordance with Table 613.5A from the Highway Design Manual (2006). Preliminary pavement sections have been developed to establish project budgets for the project (see Attachment “P”).

However, final pavement section designs will be determined during the final design phase.

17) Needed Structure Rehabilitation and Upgrading
Widening of the existing San Timoteo Creek (Bridge No. 56‐0065) structure crossing Coopers Creek is included in the project. In addition to the widening, the Type 1 curb and railing on the westbound side of this structure will be removed and upgraded with a Type 732 concrete barrier.

There are no other existing bridge structures requiring rehabilitation or upgrading.

Attachment “L” includes an approved Advanced Planning Study for the project bridge structures.

Sections 5(A) (9) and 5(A) (10) provide more information regarding utility relocations and railroad involvement. Right of way data sheets for the project are included in Attachment “O” and additional discussion is provided in Section 6(D), “Right of Way” herein.

B. Rejected Alternatives
The following alternatives were rejected from further consideration. Specific reasons for rejecting these alternatives are discussed in as follows:

 Jack Rabbit Trail/SR‐60 Interchange ‐ Providing a full access interchange at this location instead of the proposed location was considered during the alternative screening process. However, since an interchange was not included in the City’s General Plan Circulation Element or regional transportation plans governed by SCAG, RCTC, or WRCOG at this location, it was eliminated from further consideration.

 Potrero Boulevard/SR‐60 Interchange ‐ Spread Diamond Configuration – Providing a spread diamond configuration was rejected for the following reasons:

a) The spread diamond configuration presents a larger overall footprint in the northwest and southeast quadrants of the proposed interchange as compared to a partial cloverleaf configuration. As a result, larger right of way impacts to approved residential and commercial developments would occur, as well as, more impacts to the environment. An additional 3.40 acres and 6.58 acres would be required respectively for a total of 9.98 acres; and

b) The spread diamond configuration does not operate as efficiently as the partial cloverleaf configuration. Table 5.5 presents a comparison of intersection level of service at the proposed ramp termini for each configuration. The partial cloverleaf will provide superior levels of service as compared to the spread diamond configuration.

38 B. Value Analysis
A Value Analysis (VA) Study was conducted by Caltrans and facilitated by Value Management Strategies, Inc. for the project during September 23, 24, 29, and 30, 2009.

A Preliminary Value Analysis Study Report was presented by the VA Team on October 1, 2009. The VA team developed fifteen (15) alternatives for improvement of the project.

Table 6.1 presents the VAS alternatives. A VA Implementation meeting was held on December 10, 2009 to discuss the alternatives and to determine which ones would be incorporated into the project. After much discussion, the meeting participants rejected all of the alternatives noting that they would not meet Caltrans’ 20‐year design policy and design standards for Potrero Boulevard established by the City of Beaumont.

39 C. Resource Conservation
Measures that will be taken to conserve energy and nonrenewable resources for the project are as follows:

1. Stage construction of the project will be planned and scheduled to minimize impacts to existing traffic flows along SR‐60. It is anticipated that separate eastbound and westbound mainline closures along SR‐60 will be done at night to erect falsework for the Potrero overcrossing structure during Phase 1. Detouring of mainline traffic during Phase 2 will not be required.

2. Construction activities will be planned and scheduled to maximize the efficient use of construction manpower and equipment to reduce the use of fuel and power consumption.

3. Proposed traffic signal systems will be interconnected to move traffic through the new interchange and local streets efficiently.

4. Existing pavement sections along Western Knolls Avenue will be rehabilitated to minimize removals.

5. Existing pavement sections to be removed may be recycled and incorporated into the new pavement sections.

D. Right of Way Issues
1) Right‐of‐Way Required

Right of way for the proposed interchange footprint will be obtained as part of Phase

1. Property to be acquired south and north of SR‐60 generally consists of vacant lands. Table 6.2 presents the parcels affected by the project and estimated areas of acquisitions:

421‐060‐003 Private South of SR‐60 6.92 acres
414‐120‐022 Private North of SR‐60 5.00 acres
Totals 29.37 acres

The identified rights to be acquired include fee simple and abutter’s rights. Abutters’ rights previously acquired will be reestablished along new mainline right of way.

Abutters (access rights) will be acquired to close the existing at grade intersections at Western Knolls Avenue. The parcels on the north will have access via the new interchange and the extension of Western Knolls Avenue. The parcels to the south will likely suffer from some severance damages and loss of business goodwill due to location and orientation of the agricultural related commercial building. Legal access appears to be available from the south via local roads. No excess land is anticipated as a result of the acquisitions. No mitigation acquisition is anticipated.

41 Existing openings in access control north and south of SR‐60 will be removed and replaced with State access control at the following locations (See Attachment “E”):
 Location 1 (PM 28.48) is a 20‐ft opening in access control that allows ingress and egress to private lands and an existing cell tower site south of SR‐60. This access will remain in place under Phase 1. This access will be closed prior to the opening of Phase 2.

 Location 2 (PM 29.40) is a 30‐ft opening in access control that allows ingress and egress to private land located south of SR‐60. This access will be closed under Phase 2.

 Location 3 (PM 29.40) is an existing at‐grade intersection with Western Knolls Avenue (WKA), a 2‐lane frontage road located along the north side of SR‐60.

Right‐in and right‐out movements are currently allowed. This access will be closed under Phase 2.

 Location 4 (PM 29.93) is an existing at‐grade intersection with the same WKA frontage road at its eastern end. During Phase 1, a concrete median barrier will be constructed across this intersection. Right‐in/right‐out movements into WKA on the north and to the Dowling Orchard parcel on the south will be maintained.

Complete closure of the access will be made under Phase 2.

2) Relocation Impact Studies

No relocations of existing homes or businesses are involved in the project.

3) Airspace Lease Areas

No airspace lease areas are involved in the project.

4) Utility and Other Owner Involvement

Southern California Edison (SCE) will be involved to coordinate the relocation of existing overhead electrical lines along the south side of SR‐60 from Station (STA) 357+00 to 370+50 (A‐Line) and along the north side of SR‐60 from STA 357+25 to 411+50 (A‐Line). New easements will be obtained to accommodate the relocated overhead electrical lines.

42 A 50‐foot longitudinal easement owned by the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) exists from STA 355+00 to 369+50 (A‐Line) according to land records. Currently, there are no improvements within this easement. Coordination with MWD will be performed to have this easement relinquished within State right of way.

5) Railroad Involvement

No railroads are involved with the project.

E. Environmental Issues
A Final Environmental Document (FED) was approved on March 1, 2013. The finding of the Initial Study supports a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) under CEQA. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was issued on March 1, 2013, under NEPA.

Attachment “V” includes the FED and FONSI. A summary of the findings of the FED are as follows:

Traffic and Transportation – the project may have short‐term impacts to traffic due to project construction. Measures to address impacts during construction include the preparation of a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) that will include orderly stage construction, advance warning signage, public information and outreach, CHP enforcement, and changeable message signs along the freeway mainline.

Visual/Aesthetics – The visual impacts of the project can be summarized by saying that the semi‐rural character of the SR‐60 corridor within the project limits would become noticeably more suburban. Generally, this change would affect SR‐60 users more than it would those who view the mainline from adjacent developments. This change would not be significant enough to impact visual elements in both short‐range and long‐range views from SR‐60. Measures will include implementing the improvements shown on the landscape concept plan (See Attachment “J”) that utilizes native plant varieties that are representative of the vegetation communities within the project area. Removal of existing trees within State right‐of‐way will be replaced at a 3:1 ratio. A separate contract for new highway planting will follow the road construction project. Additionally, aesthetic treatments to the surfaces of proposed retaining walls and the overcrossing bridge structure at Potrero Boulevard shall be incorporated into the project (See Attachment “K”). Nighttime light and glare shall be directed away or shielded from sensitive uses.

Cultural Resources – no cultural, archaeological, or paleontological resources were found within the project area limits; therefore Caltrans deemed a finding of no impact appropriate. Conservation measures include monitoring and specific requirements in the event such resources are encountered during construction.

February 2013

43 Cultural Resources – no cultural, archaeological, or paleontological resources were found within the project area limits; therefore Caltrans deemed a finding of no impact appropriate. Conservation measures include monitoring and specific requirements in the event such resources are encountered during construction.

Hazardous Waste/Materials – Aerial Deposited Lead (ADL) is anticipated just outside and along SR‐60. Lead levels above State and federal regulatory standards may be exceeded requiring special handling and disposal requirements associated with hazardous waste during construction. Lead‐contaminated soil found within the State right‐of‐way shall be managed in accordance with DTSC Variance V09HQSCD006. Testing for pesticides and herbicides will be performed prior to the completion of design.

Air Quality – construction dust control will be subject to feasible practices identified by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Dust Rule 403 in addition to other requirements specified in Section 7.102C “Emissions Reductions”, Section 14‐9 “Air Quality”, and Section 18 “Dust Palliative” of Caltrans’ Standard Specifications.

Biological Environment – the project may potentially have adverse impacts to natural communities; wetlands and other waters, and certain non‐listed special status species within the biological study areas described in the Natural Environment Study technical report.

Measures have been developed to avoid and minimize impacts to Southern Cottonwood‐ Willow Riparian Forest, Riversidean Sage Scrub, and Coast Live Oak Woodland.

Impacts to the least Bell’s vireo (LBV), a federally and state endangered bird species, and associated riparian/riverine areas cannot be avoided. Conservation measures include purchasing credits in the Santa Ana River Wetlands Mitigation Bank through the Riverside County Park and Open Space District; implementing BMPs resulting from storm waters; and adhering to the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). Other requirements are specified in the FED for addressing burrowing owls, migratory birds, Stephen’s kangaroo rat (SKR), and bat species. Review by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) occurred on March 18, 2010 to demonstrate project consistency with the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP).

Invasive plant species may potentially be introduced to the project area during construction. Measures to combat invasive species generally include:

 Landscaping bare soil with locally adopted seed mixtures to preclude the invasion of noxious weeds;

Page 466 of 669 ends

08‐RIV‐60‐PM 28.03/30.42
EA 341400
PN 0800000612

February 2013

44  Landscaping bare soil with locally adopted seed mixtures to preclude the invasion of noxious weeds;
 Cleaning of construction equipment to remove mud and other debris that may contain invasive plants and/or seeds;
 Covering of trucks carrying vegetation that is to be removed from the site; and  Disposal of said vegetation in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

On April 22, 2010, a formal Section 7 consultation was completed with the USFWS which resulted in the following findings:

 The proposed purchase of credits in a wetland creation program should provide preservation that is biologically equivalent or superior to avoidance of the riparian/riverine habitat on the project site.
 The project is consistent with the Narrow Endemic Plant Species policy of the MSHCP.  The project is consistent with the MSHCP Additional Survey Needs and Procedures policy of the MSHCP for the burrowing owl.
 Implementation of the project will not result in jeopardy to the least Bell’s Vireo (LBV) or Stephen’s Kangaroo Rat (SKR).

The USFWS and CDFG concurred with proposed compensatory efforts to offset the loss of 2.053‐acres of State streambeds and 0.104‐acres of riparian habitat. In addition, the project will result in the loss of 0.0075‐acres of wetlands. The project proposes to purchase credits equivalent to 0.3345‐acres, in the form of habitat creation, from the Santa Ana Watershed Authority or the Riverside‐Corona Resource Conservation District at a 3:1 ratio for riparian and wetlands.

For impacts to streambed and non‐wetlands waters, credits will be purchased equivalent to 4.106‐acres in the form of habitat enhancement, habitat creation, or a combination of the two at a 2:1 ratio. The proposed purchase of 4.4405‐acres of credits in a wetland creation program should provide preservation that is biologically equivalent or superior to avoidance of the riparian/riverine habitat on the project site.

Water Quality ‐ the project will comply with Caltrans’ Statewide NPDES permit and a Storm Water Data Report (SWDR). A SWDR has been prepared for the project which summarizes the actions that will be taken to comply with the aforementioned permit.

Attachment “M” includes a copy of the approval page of the SWDR.

F. Air Quality Conformity
The project is identified in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2012‐2035 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities (RTP/SCS). On April 4,

Page 467 of 669 ends

08‐RIV‐60‐PM 28.03/30.42
EA 341400
PN 0800000612

February 2013

45 2012‐2035 RTP/SCS and the 2010/2011 Federal Transportation Improvement Plan (FTIP) (thru Amendment 11‐24) to conform to the applicable State Improvement Plan (SIP). The design concept and scope of the project is consistent with the project description in the RTP/SCS (ID# RIV 050535).

An Air Quality Conformity Analysis for the project was submitted to FHWA on September 27, 2012. On October 18, 2012, FHWA issued a determination that the project was in conformance.

G. Title VI Considerations
Caltrans and FHWA policies demonstrate commitment to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act requirements that no person be excluded from or denied the benefits of or discriminated by any Federal activity because of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age or handicap. Implementation of this project is compliant with these policies and Executive Order 12898, “Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations.”

The project’s partial cloverleaf configuration (Type L‐9) does not impact Title VI requirements in regards to the mobility of low income and minority populations. The project will provide for equivalent access to this facility that will address current American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements by providing provisions for cross slopes, ramps, sidewalk widths, and obstruction conflict avoidance for pedestrian pathways. Details of the pedestrian facilities and their relationship to the project as a whole will be clearly depicted and submitted as described in Design Information Bulletin (DIB) 82‐04.

H. Noise Abatement Decision Report
Noise studies prepared for the project indicate that the closest and only sensitive noise receptor in the project vicinity is located more than 1,500 feet from the proposed interchange. Due to this distance no impacts are anticipated at the sensitive receptor and no sound walls or other sound attenuation are proposed for the project. Therefore, a Noise Abatement Decision Report is not required for this project.

7. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS AS APPROPRIATE

A. Public Hearing Process
A public information meeting was held at Beaumont City Hall as part of the environmental review process. Comments received from the public at this meeting were documented and considered in preparation of the Final Environmental Document (FED) and Final Project Report (FPR).

46 documented and considered in preparation of the Final Environmental Document (FED) and Final Project Report (FPR).

B. Permits
The following permits are anticipated for the project:

1. Section 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE)

2. 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement from the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG).

3. Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).

4. This project must conform to the requirements of Caltrans’ Statewide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Permit, Order No. 99‐ 06‐DWQ, NPDES No. CAS000003 in addition to the responsibilities specific in Caltrans’ Statewide Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP). The project must also conform to the requirements of the General NPDES Permit for Construction Activities, Order No. 2009‐0009 DWQ, NPDES No. CAS000002, and any subsequent General Permit in effect at the time of project activity.

C. Cooperative Agreements
A Project Development Cooperative Agreement (No. 8‐1334) between the State and the City of Beaumont was approved on February 28, 2008. See Attachment “R” to review the conditions of the agreement.

On September 27, 2011 Caltrans delegated authority to the City to advertise, award, and administer (AAA) the construction phase of Phase 1 and Phase 2. Construction Cooperative Agreements between the State and City were approved on January 26, 2012 (Phase 1) and March 12, 2012 (Phase 2). See Attachment “R” to review the conditions of the agreements.

D. Other Agreements
California Transportation Commission (CTC) consent is required for public road openings or connections with freeways. Sections 23.5, 100.2, and 100.3 of the Streets and Highway Code authorize Caltrans to enter into Freeway Agreements providing for the closing of city streets, county highways or county roads. Freeway agreements must show CTC approved new connection of new city streets or new county highways and roads.

A Freeway Agreement was executed between the State of California Department of Public Works, Division of Highways and the County of Riverside on July 2, 1956. This agreement will be superseded in part by a new freeway agreement between the State

47 and the City of Beaumont. Portions of the previous agreement not within the City Limits will remain in effect.

A Freeway Maintenance Agreement will be required. The proposed roadway and traffic signal systems at the interchange ramps will be owned operated and maintained by the State after construction. Maintenance costs will be shared between the City and State in accordance with Caltrans established policies. This agreement will be developed during the design phase and will be addressed in the Cooperative Agreement for the construction phase.

The City will be required to cover costs and responsibilities associated with environmental mitigations for the project. The City will also be responsible for the installation of planting and irrigation of all landscaped areas within State right of way.

The responsibilities of maintenance and monitoring costs of said landscaping will be determined during the PS&E phase of the project and will be included in the new Freeway Maintenance Agreement.

E. Transportation Management Plan for Use During Construction A Transportation Management Plan (TMP) will be required to minimize delay and inconvenience to the public during construction. The TMP shall be developed concurrently with the development of the project plans. The TMP Guidelines, revised May 2004, shall be utilized in the preparation of the plan. Anticipated TMP elements that will be included are:
 Provide orderly construction sequences as a requirement of the contract plans.  Provide changeable message signs, advanced warning, and guide signs.  Provide or maintain an equal number of traffic lanes and storages during construction.
 Provide information on daily construction activities to local media to advise motorists of changes to traffic patterns during construction.
 Provide toll‐free numbers to commuters for information and to log complaints if deemed necessary.
 Prohibit the Contractor from closing, or working in or adjacent to traffic lanes during heavy recreational seasons and access to funeral processions.  The City will initiate and administer the COZEEP service agreement with the CHP and local police during construction of the project whenever daytime or nighttime temporary lane closures, and freeway closures are to be implemented.

Delays to existing traffic along SR‐60 due to the construction of the proposed improvements are anticipated. Full night time closures of the SR‐60 mainline will be

48 required for erection of bridge falsework under Phase 1. Temporary reductions in lane widths along SR‐60 within the project limits will be required to provide adequate space for the construction of the proposed auxiliary lanes, bridge median columns, bridge falsework, and median barriers. Temporary K‐rail with traffic screens will be installed to protect construction workers and to minimize visual distractions. Temporary closure of Potrero Boulevard (north of SR‐60) will also be required during Phase 1 to allow for connections to new bridge construction.

Special attention will be given to developing traffic plans to safely handle mainline traffic during the construction of bridge median columns and falsework crossing SR‐60 during Phase 1.

Appropriate advanced warning and detour signage shall be installed on Potrero Boulevard and Western Knolls Avenue to inform the public of any detours during the construction phase. A public outreach/community liaison program will be established by the City of Beaumont before construction starts to provide a point of contact with businesses and neighborhoods that will be affected by the project. The following programs being considered are as follows:
 A media communication plan will be developed to update public with information regarding the construction phases of the project.
 Temporary signs will be installed notifying the public of closures, detours and the duration of the closure.
 Providing alternate access points to businesses to minimize temporary disruption through coordination with construction.
 Providing at least one open driveway to all businesses during construction.

There will be coordination among the project construction team with the California Highway Patrol, City Police and Fire Department, County Sheriff Department, County Fire Districts, and local public and private ambulance and paramedic providers in the area to prepare a construction period emergency access plan prior to the start of construction.

A Transportation Management Plan Data Sheet is included in Attachment “N”, which identifies preliminary TMP elements and estimated costs.

F. Stage Construction
It is anticipated that the project will be constructed in two (2) primary stages for Phase 1 and Phase 2 as follows:

PHASE 1 ‐ Stage 1
 Relocate interfering overhead and underground utilities.  Construct mainline pavement widening along the outside edges of eastbound and

Page 471 of 669 ends

49 westbound SR‐60 to accommodate median construction of bridge pier columns and falsework.
 Construct embankments north and south of SR‐60 for roadway rough grade and bridge abutment construction.
 Construct concrete median and pavement across Western Knolls Avenue eastern intersection and MBGR to the existing bridge structure. Access to SR‐60 restricted to right‐in/right‐out movements at the east Western Knolls Avenue intersection during this phase.

PHASE 1 ‐ Stage 2
 Move eastbound and westbound traffic to the outside of SR‐60 to allow room in the median area to construct pier foundations and columns.  Install bridge falsework. Implement separate mainline closures in westbound and eastbound directions to accommodate erection of falsework across SR‐60. This would most likely occur during the night and on weekends as required to minimize disruption to SR‐60 traffic.
 Construct 6‐lane bridge superstructure and roadway pavement.  Complete installation of pavement striping and signing.

PHASE 2 ‐ Stage 1
 Relocate interfering utilities.
 Widen SR‐60 bridge structure (San Timoteo Creek Bridge No. 56‐0065) to the south along eastbound SR‐60.
 Construct Potrero Boulevard, westbound and eastbound ramps, and auxiliary lanes along eastbound and westbound SR‐60.
 Construct Western Knolls Avenue realignment to Potrero Boulevard.

PHASE 2 ‐ Stage 2
 Demolish existing access openings and intersections. Finalize roadway construction to SR‐60 at these locations. Complete installation of pavement striping and signing.

G. Accommodation of Oversize Loads
This project will not restrict the movement of oversized loads through the area.
