Currently the bridge on Fairview Street over <br />the Santa Ana River (Exhibit 1) is two lanes in each direction with no sidewalks or bike facilities. <br />On December 2, 2014, the City entered into an agreement with WKE, Inc., to provide engineering <br />services to rehabilitate the Fairview Street Bridge. The scope of the original agreement with <br />WKE, Inc., was to rehabilitate the bridge and add sidewalks for pedestrian safety, and also to <br />assist in exploring the possibility of securing additional grant funding to replace the bridge instead <br />of rehabilitating it. Since then, City staff and WKE, Inc., have been successful in applying for a <br />grant from the Caltrans Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR) program. The <br />revised project scope replaces the two-lane bridge with a wider three -lane bridge, adding a raised <br />median, bike lanes, raised sidewalks, and barrier rails. The City is awaiting notification that funds <br />have been awarded and programmed for project construction. Council action to approve the <br />additional grant funding will be requested upon Caltrans' final funding programming, which is <br />anticipated by spring 2017. <br />The new bridge project requires revisions to technical documents that must address the added <br />scope and compliance with updated federal requirements of the HBRR program. The consultant <br />agreement with WKE, Inc., will expire on December 1, 2016, before the design of the new bridge <br />can be completed. The amendment (Exhibit 2) will extend the agreement for 36 months to allow <br />WKE, Inc., to provide design, environmental analysis, and construction support for the <br />251-1 <br />
