INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
CITY OF PALM DESERT
TO: City Council and City Manager
FROM: Richard J. Folkers, Assistant City Manager-Public Works
Director
SUBJECT: Request for Ratification of Soil Procurement: I-10 Interstate
and Cook Street Interchange; Project No. 658-95 and Monterey
Bridge at Whitewater Storm Drain Channel; Project No. 696-95
DATE: April 13, 1995
RECOMMENDATION:
By Minute Motion; Ratify the procurement of 410,000 Cubic Yards of
Soil from the Koll Real Estate Company project in
Rancho 'Mirage for use in three major area
transportation projects .
BACKGROUND:
The City has the opportunity to purchase import borrow fill dirt
locally, for the cost of transporting only. This soil will be utilized
in three major area projects . The soil will come from the large private
Koll Real Estate project at the corner of Monterey Avenue and Dinah
Shore Drive. The expedited action to purchase this soil is required to
prevent the possibility of losing part of the dirt to other private area
projects . After reviewing the circumstances, the City Attorney has
advised that the procurement of soil does not require competitive
bidding. However, the negotiated prices for the soil and it
transportation to stockpiles has been aligned with soil prices in the
Public Works database for comparison. The projects impacted by this
approach are:
1 . I-10 Interstate and Cook Street Interchange
The soil will ultimately be used in the construction of the north side
ramps of the interchange. A temporary construction easement Right-of-
Way has been donated by a private property owner on the north side in
order to take advantage of this opportunity.
Approximately 140, 000 cubic yards of fill from Dinah Shore and Monterey
will be trucked to the interchange site and stockpiled for future
placement. This action will require surveying the stockpile site,

measures for the stockpile. The CalTrans project cost estimate for

site and tagged for the approach ramps for the Monterey Avenue Bridge at

will obtain the soil from the Koll stockpile in two increments .

3 . Monterey Avenue and I-10 Interchange
Palm Desert has been requested by Riverside County, the Lead Agent for
the Monterey Avenue and I-10 Interchange, to integrate the procurement
of 80, 000 cubic yards of soil and its compacted placement at the site of
the new south side approach ramp to the Monterey Avenue and I-10 Inter-
change. An additional 130,000 cubic yards of soil will be stockpiled on
the Koll site and tagged for the north side ramps for the Monterey
Interchange project. Staff is developing agreements with both Riverside
County and CVAG for the obligation and expenditure of Monterey Avenue &
I-10 Interchange Project funds for this portion of the soil procurement.
CONCLUSIONS :
Staff recommends that City Council ratifies the procurement of 410, 000
Cubic Yards of Soil from the Koll Real Estate Company project in Rancho
