Folkers, Assistant City Manager/Public Works Director SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT: INTERSTATE 10 INTERCHANGES AT MONTEREY AVENUE, COOK STREET, AND WASHINGTON STREET DATE: September 8, 1994 I . General Discussion: Recently the City Manager and Public Works Director met with representatives of the Riverside County Transportation Department and CVAG to discuss financial issues involving the three interchanges . Attached is Exhibit "A" which shows the cost breakdown proposed for each of the interchanges . The estimated total for properties within the city of Palm Desert is $7 , 956 . 677 which, for practical purposes, is $8 million. CVAG has sufficient bonding capacity, or financial ability, to pay for the three interchanges ; however, the problem of local matching has been a major stumbling block. The financing package for these interchanges is as follows : MONTEREY AVENUE & INTERSTATE 10 $23 .0 Million COOK STREET & INTERSTATE 25 . 6 Million WASHINGTON STREET & INTERSTATE 10 22 . 3 Million During the proposed assessment district hearings that took place in June 1992 , we had an extensive area north of Interstate 10 and Thousand Palms included. The Riverside County Transportation 2Department has reevaluated the situation and has included much of that area in the Monterey Avenue interchange and included the area immediately north of Interstate 10 along the Chase School Road commercial and residential development area . This solved two problems : 1) The local office of U. S . Fish & Wildlife Service apparently does not want Chase School Road connected from I-10 to Ramon Road, as they appear to have plans to acquire additional property west of the existing west boundary which is contiguous with the east side of the future Chase School Road which extends south of Ramon Road to Varner Road. (Page 1 of 4 ) September 8, 1994 SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT ON THE INTERSTATE 10 INTERCHANGES AT MONTEREY AVENUE, COOK STREET, AND WASHINGTON STREET 2 ) The property owners in the Thousand Palms area indicated the traffic would be utilizing Ramon Road to go to Monterey Avenue and/or Ramon Road interchanges and not impact the Cook Street interchange, particularly with the acquisition of additional properties by the Nature Conservacy, which drastically reduces the traffic generated. II . Monterey Avenue and Interstate 10 : Alternative No. 3 was chosen, at an estimated cost of $13 million, which aligns Monterey Avenue south of the railroad with Monterey Avenue north of Varner Road and provides an interchange that will handle traffic adequately at least until the year 2015 . Unfortunately, because of the design of the existing structure, it is necessary to demolish the structure over the freeway and the railroad as part of this new straight through alignment . The question of the Mid-Valley Parkway (Dinah Shore Drive) terminating at Monterey Avenue was a source of concern to the city staff; however, the latest plan has the Mid-Valley Parkway going down Bob Hope Drive from Dinah Shore Drive to Gerald For Drive and then proceeding on a proposed link of Gerald Ford Drive that will be constructed this fall and winter. The Public Works staff had recommended consideration be given to a grade separation at the intersection of Dinah Shore Drive and Monterey Avenue as the Mid- Valley Parkway as it was planned to be going through the intersection; however, it appears the costs do not justify this as the Mid-Valley Parkway does not cross or terminate at the Monterey Avenue and Dinah Shore Drive intersection. At a meeting held in 1993, the Caltrans District 8 Director indicated, under pressure, the design for these temporary signals would be completed by September 1, 1993, and the signals would probably be operational in the spring of 1994 . The County of Riverside was the lead agency on the project and, as a result, did not move as rapidly as anticipated; however, it is expected these traffic signals now under construction by Paul Gardner Corporation would be installed and operational by early fall 1994 . With regard to the freeway construction, the interchange has been given environmental clearance via the federal agencies involved (FHWA and US Fish & Wildlife) so the environmental process can proceed. In discussing the matter with CVAG and the county, it is our opinion that construction will probably begin in the fourth quarter of 1995 and will take at least eighteen months due to the complexities involved. (Page 2 of 4 ) September 8, 1994 SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT ON THE INTERSTATE 10 INTERCHANGES AT MONTEREY AVENUE, COOK STREET, AND WASHINGTON STREET The County of Riverside is the lead agency on this project and will be starting to procure right-of-way as soon as all of the design matters have been completed. The design firm of Parsons Brinkerhoff has been contracted to do the work and Mike Spiegel is the project manager. III . Cook Street and Interstate 10 At the present time, the contract for Phase I of this project, the Cook Street extension which runs from Frank Sinatra Drive northerly to Gerald Ford Drive approximately 4 , 000 feet, has been awarded to Granite Construction, and it is anticipated they will begin construction shortly after Labor Day 1994 . The time allotted for construction is sixty calendar days, and the construction cost is $1 , 025, 463 , including contingency. The design consultant for this phase is Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates (RBF) . The city staff consisting of the Public Works and Planning Departments have been diligently working on the environmental clearance situation. It appears this matter will be totally resolved within thirty days . At that time, the County of Riverside ' s Real Property Department can begin the property acquisition on the north side of Interstate 10 for the Varner Road relocation and the interchange construction. The consultant for this part of the project, Moffat & Nichol, has divided the project into two segments . The northerly segment, Phase II , involves the relocation of Varner Road along with the installation of a new sewer line in conjunction with the Coachella Valley Water District. This phasing will allow considerable work to be done outside of state right-of-way which will be beneficial to the project as well as to the property owners on the north side who have commercial zoning. If they desire, these property owners could begin development in conjunction with the Varner Road relocation. The latest timeline for the interchange construction, Phase III , shows construction to begin no sooner than July 1995 because of the extensive reviews and processing involved with Caltrans . Caltrans District 11 has indicated they are taking four to six months to process the plans and specifications through District 11 and Caltrans headquarters . Staff will endeavor to move the project along; however, we usually find that when Caltrans says it takes four to six months, it takes that long regardless of the constant monitoring and urging by the city. (Page 3 of 4 ) September 8, 1994 SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT ON THE INTERSTATE 10 INTERCHANGES AT MONTEREY AVENUE, COOK STREET, AND WASHINGTON STREET Based on the proposed plan for that interchange, the estimated cost for the interchange itself is approximately $25 . 6 million with an estimated completion date of July 1997 . At the present time, the one possible "show stopper" is an agreement with Southern Pacific Transportation regarding an easement over their railroad; however, we are optimistically approaching those negotiations . IV. Washington Street and Interstate 10 This project is behind the other two projects as the project report has not yet been completed and approved by Caltrans . The environmental gauntlet is yet to be run on this project; however, since they are using the existing alignment across the freeway, it is anticipated they will not have the problems that we had on Cook Street. The project consultant is DMJM and Sheldon Dorius is the project manager. At one time there were three options; however, at this point in time, there are two options with two variations of each option. Approximately eighteen months ago, the city made a commitment, prior to the traffic signal being completed, to support Del Webb on Alternative #1 . Recently, the staff retained a consultant to do an evaluation of the alternatives along with their cost implications and how they would affect the progress of the project. Based upon those evaluations , the staff could support Alternative #1A with modifications , if consideration is given to improving the capacity at Country Club Drive and Washington Street which has not been included in the freeway project to date. The results of the analyses indicate there will be severe congestion at Country Club Drive and Washington Street as a result of the bridge widening across Interstate 10 and the Southern Pacific Railroad, but heretofore, it has not been compensated adequately. The current construction schedule includes awarding a contract in the third quarter of 1996 with completion of construction the first quarter in 1998 ( 18 months ) . J7j ,- iRIC RD J. LKERS, P.E .
