SUBJECT:
Amend Cooperative Agreement with San Bernardino County for the Ranchero Road Corridor Widening Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council 1) adopt Resolution No. 2024-30 approving Amendment No. 2 to Cooperative Agreement No. 11- 424 (Agreement) between the City and San Bernardino County (County) for the Ranchero Road Corridor Widening Project and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment to the Agreement and any other necessary documents related thereto.
BACKGROUND
The Ranchero Corridor Widening Project, Phase III (Project), consisting of improvements to widen the five-mile roadway segment of Ranchero Road from two lanes to five lanes from Seventh Avenue westerly to approximately Royal View Lane, has been the City’s highest priority for roadway capital construction.
The City partnered with the County to widen the roadway, with the exception of the aqueduct crossing. On May 17, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-032 approving the Agreement with the County with a subsequent Amendment No. 1 being approved under Resolution No. 2020-12 on March 17, 2020.
Currently, the project is under construction.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The original Agreement with the County was for the design and environmental compliance components of the Project, while Amendment No. 1 of the Agreement was to include the construction portion of the Project.
The Agreement expiration is approaching. With the project under construction, Amendment No. 2 is required to extend the agreement through construction completion and the closeout phase. The Agreement is prepared in the County’s standard form. Further, the terms in the Agreement remain in full force and effect except as it may be specifically identified in the Amendment.
