DISCUSSION
The Paloma Wash Pedestrian Bridge Project, CIP 20-13 (“Project”) is planned to install a prefabricated multi-use bridge over the Paloma Wash Channel, providing a direct connection between the Paloma Wash Trail located at Central Park on the west, to the commercial areas along Haun Road on the east. The Project would provide an active transportation benefit to the residential and Civic Center areas located west of the channel. The Project would consist of the installation of a 14’ wide by 174’ long prefabricated bow steel-truss pedestrian bridge, two concrete abutments, retaining walls, bicycle lanes, concrete walkways and ADA ramps, and architectural features including paving and shades, landscaping and irrigation, and electrical lighting.
On June 1, 2022, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with Engineering Resources of Southern California (“Consultant”) to provide architectural and civil design services and plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for the Project. On December 6, 2023, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to extend the terms of the Agreement through December 31, 2024. Amendment No. 2 was entered into on June 20, 2024, and was necessary to increase the Consultant’s scope of work to address environmental requirements imposed by external agencies. Details of each prior amendment are outlined in Table 1 on the following page.
