Moreno Valley, CA 92553
SUBJECT: Sunnymead MDP SD Lines F and F-7, Project No. 804 0008 Request for Additional Services for Final Design, Environmental Clearance and Permitting
Dear Mr. Frohman:
Please accept this letter as a request for additional services the Sunnymead MDP Storm Drain Lines F and F-7 in the City of Moreno Valley, California. This request is necessary for the 100% completion of the design per our last meeting with RCFC&WCD, additional environmental coordination for the approval of the project’s CEQA documentation, and per a request from the City.
Scope of Work:
1. Additional effort related to CEQA, Technical Studies and assistance to the City for stakeholder coordination for Biological, Cultural (Tribal), and Jurisdictional Delineation Additional coordination with the City for authorization of rights of entry for the private parcels associated with the project, including the parcels affected by the construction of the storm drain line and storm water retention basin, and the parcels to be used for construction staging. The property owners were previously identified, but the rights-of-entry from them were not acquired. The task to acquire these rights of entry was not included in previous scopes of work. Since this effort needed to be undertaken, we need to request budget for this effort.
Additional offsite parcels to be environmentally cleared for use in construction staging. As a part of the WSP process, WSP needed to clear any potential offsite parcels that would be used for construction staging by the contractor. Clearing these offsite parcels is essential for the WSP process as this will be required and WSP would not want the environmental footprint to be expanded after the approval of the documents. WSP did not anticipate the need for the detailed refinement of the offsite staging areas to clear these parcels in the original proposal. Oversight and coordination with the Environmental Subconsultants. WSP had various internal and external teams assisting us with the technical studies. These teams need additional engineering and construction activity exhibits from the engineering team to complete their technical studies. This additional effort was not originally anticipated.
From our last meeting with the City’s environmental planners, it was identified that our subconsultant, ECORP, will need additional budget to complete the DBESP tasks that resulted from the determination of the environmental technical studies and identification of environmental impacts.

SUMMARY
This staff report recommends acceptance of funding in the amount of $750,000.00 from the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) for the Indian Street / Cardinal Avenue Bridge (Over Lateral A) project and authorization to execute the funding agreement and any subsequent amendments with RCTC . This staff report also recommends approval of a Fourth Amendment to the agreement with Michael Baker International for Professional Consultant Services to complete the environmental and right of way documentation as well as final design for the project.
DISCUSSION
Indian Street is designated as a Minor Arterial Street in the City’s General Plan Circulation Element and intended to serve as a critical north -south corridor into and out of the City’s south industrial area, especially for emergency response. To complete this emergency response corridor, the construction of a new 4-lane bridge over the existing Perris Valley Storm Drain (PVSD) Lateral A channel is required. The proposed new bridge will close the existing gap on Indian Street north of the channel to south of the channel, providing pedestrian and vehicular continuity and enhance emergency response times.
The City selected Michael Baker International (MBI) through the request for p roposal and selection process and entered into an agreement with MBI in March 2018 for providing feasibility and alternative analysis services as part of Phase 1 Planning of the project. The First Amendment to MBI’s agreement was executed to extend the agreement termination date from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021. On October 5, 2021, the City Council approved the Second Amendment to MBI’s agreement for an additional $624,742 to perform environmental clearance studies, right of way documentation, and bridge and roadway design up to 35% completion utilizing the limited Developer Impact Fee (DIF) available for the project. Additionally, the Second Amendment was executed to extend the agreement termination date from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The Third Amendment to MBI’s agreement was executed to extend the agreement termination date to December 31, 2024.
In response to RC TC’s 2023 Regional Arterials Call for Projects, the City submitted an application seeking funding for completing the design of the project. On June 14, 2023, A.21
Packet Pg. 357
the RCTC Commission approved the funding recommendation in the amount of $750,000 in MARA funds for completing the project’s final design. RCTC is requesting the City to execute the funding agreement between the two age ncies to make funding available for the City to move forward with the final design. Staff recommends acceptance of the MARA funds and authorization to execute the funding agreement with RCTC.
Staff also recommends approval of the Fourth Amendment to MBI’s agreement in the amount of $745,248 to provide design services for the Phase 2 Final Design of the project. The Consultant’s scope of services includes prepar ing construction plans and bid documents, preparing environmental and right of way documentation , and obtaining various construction permits for the project. Having the design completed and a “shovel-ready” project positions the City with the opportunity to compete for grant funding for the construction of the project.
Approval of the recommended actions would support Objective 4 of the Momentum MoVal Strategic Plan: “Manage and maximize Moreno Valley’s public Infrastructure to ensure an excellent quality of life, develop and implement innovative, cost -effective infrastructure maintenance programs, public facilities management strategies, and capital improvement programming and project delivery.”
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve and authorize the recommended actions as presented in this staff report. This alternative will provide for the timely completion of design of the Indian Street/Cardinal Avenue Bridge project.
2. Do not approve and authorize the recommended actions as presented in this staff report. This alternative will delay the design of the Indian Street /Cardinal Avenue Bridge.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Indian Street / Cardinal Avenue Bridge project is included in the Fiscal Year 2023/24 and 2024/25 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) with funding available for the design phase only. The City is currently funding the planning and portion of the design phase with Arterial Developer Impact Fee (DIF) funds. Staff is requesting authorization for making a budget adjustment and having the MARA funds in the amount of $750,000 allocated to Fund 2301 (Capital Projects Grants) as shown below to complete the design of the project. There is no impact to the General Fund.
