Vernon, CA 90058
Subject: Rehabilitation of Atlantic Blvd. Bridge over the Los Angeles River Request for Contract Amendment No. 14
Dear Mr. Wall:
To complete the proposed project, we request an amendment for extra work as follows:
1. Extend the Professional Service Agreement (PSA) from December 31, 2023, to December 31, 2024:
CNS’s PSA will expire on December 31, 2023. The project has completed the design; however, there are several pending items listed below to be continuously coordinated and completed before the project is certified by Caltrans and ready to be advertised for construction:
Close acquisition escrow and record easements for the impacted LADWP properties (6304-007- 274 and 6314-033-271). The acquisition cost has been finalized. Finalize acquisition for the easements in the Magellan Atlantic property (APN 6314-033 and 005). A temporary user agreement is in place for Caltrans right of way certification. Execute the BNSF Railroad Construction and Management (C&M) Agreement that addresses all railroad-related costs.
Obtain the CPUC GO 88B Construction Permit. CPUC comments have been addressed. Coordinate with the City and SCE to obtain a design permit from BNSF for the temporary electrical overhead shoofly and the permanent electrical underground casings below the at-grade rail crossings, which are prepared by City’s Consultant (Petrelli Electric). The initial permitting application has been submitted to BNSF.
Obtain an encroachment permit from Caltrans District 7 for traffic controls at the I-710/Bandini Interchange involving 4-day street closure to replace the rail crossings adjacent to the bridge. Complete utility relocation coordination involving the City, SCE and Maywood Mutual Water Company #3.
Obtain the Right of Way Certification from Caltrans.
Assist the City in obtaining Construction Authorization from Caltrans including obtaining NEPA Revalidation, if required by Caltrans Local Assistance. Provide additional project coordination and attend additional Teams meetings for one year.
2. Engineering Design Modification to Implement the 2023 Caltrans Construction Contract Standards Design History: The design of the project was completed prior to 2021 while right of way acquisition, utility relocation, and railroad coordination were being coordinated. The project design was based on Caltrans 2018 Construction Contract Standards. Caltrans periodically (usually every three to four years) updates the construction contract standards. Although the Caltrans 2022 Standards were published on August 1, 2022, the 2018 Standards can be continuously used for federally funded projects receiving construction authorization before May 1, 2023, in accordance with a notice issued by Caltrans Local Assistance on November 9, 2022. On April 21, 2023, Caltrans issued a Mr. Daniel Wall
December 5, 2023
memorandum stating that the 2022 Standards will be no longer supported after July 21, 2023, and the new 2023 Standards will be published on July 24, 2023. Caltrans Local Assistance currently requires local agencies to implement the 2023 Standards for the HBP-funded bridge projects since the construction of the Project has not been authorized.
Required Design Modifications: The Caltrans 2023 Construction Contract Standards include Standard Specifications, Standard Special Provisions, and Standard Plans. The Standard Plans implement new design criteria involving the Eight Edition of AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, California Amendments with 2022 Errata, and Seismic Design Criteria (SDC) Version 2.0.
The Design Team will update the project plans, technical special specifications, quantities, and cost estimates per the Caltrans 2023 Construction Contract Standards. The design modification will involve project elements that reference the Caltrans design standards, which include the bridge, retaining walls, traffic signals, and striping. The geotechnical foundation report per SDC 2.0 shall be updated accordingly.
3. Project Schedule: This amendment is necessary due to the delay associated with the lengthy coordination with BNSF, LADWP, relocation of SCE Communication Line, and addition of an Electrical Overhead Shoofly. It is expected that all project components will be completed by June 2024 and the right of way can be certified by Caltrans by August 2024. The construction funds will be requested in the Caltrans HBP Annual Survey in September 2024.
The estimated cost for all additional efforts to extend the PSA is $177,070.27.
Current Amended Contract Amount: $2,279,677.94
Proposed New Amendment: $177,070.27
Total Proposed Amended Contract Amount: $2,456,748.21
We look forward to receiving City’s approval for this contract amendment. Should you have any questions about this proposal, please feel free to contact me at (951) 687-1005 ext.104 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Atlantic Boulevard Bridge Widening
Contract Amendment No. 9
Scope of Work Amendment
December 4, 2023
A scope amendment is required to obtain permits from BNSF/LAJ for the proposed electrical underground utility casings at three locations under the North and South Atlantic Blvd at-grade railroad crossings and one temporary electrical overhead utility shoofly over the Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) areas at two locations over the North and South Atlantic Blvd atgrade railroad crossings. Also, the previous contract is soon to expire on December 31, 2023, and a scope amendment is required to extend the contract from December 31, 2023, to December 31, 2024. The extended contract length of one year generates the need for additional general project management, meetings, and coordination with stakeholders, which is captured in this contract amendment.
The Amendment No. 9 tasks outlined below are in addition to the tasks currently authorized on the project:
• Utility design review and permitting services for the proposed electrical underground utility casings and temporary electrical overhead utility shoofly crossings at the BNSF/LAJ Atlantic Blvd at-grade railroad crossings.
• Contract time extension for one year. Project Management, Railroad Design Coordination, and PS&E services extended from December 31, 2023, through December 31, 2024.
• Additional general project management, meetings, bid support, design reviews and support and permitting, and coordination services due to contract time extension and anticipated stakeholder feedback and requirements.
The attached cost proposal details our expected costs and staff to complete this additional work. RailPros is requesting $68,171.95 in additional authorization.
We look forward to continuing to work with CNS and the City towards the successful completion of this project. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding this.
