CONTENTS: Vicinity Map
Recommendation:
Receive and file.
Executive Summary:
The City Council and the Agency Board adopted Resolutions Nos. 03-106 and
480, respectively, at the October 9, 2003, meeting. These Resolutions allow for
the storm drain improvements in Project Area No. 4, including the Warner Trail
Storm Drain. The purpose of this project is to mitigate existing drainage
deficiencies in Drainage Area L, which includes about half of the Palm Desert
Country Club west of Wamer Trail and north of Fred Waring Drive. The
proposed improvements will provide flood protection for the area in the vicinity of
the southwesterly half of the Palm Desert Country Club.
On October 23, 2003, the Agency Board awarded the design contract for Warner
Trail Storm Drain Improvements to Willdan of Foothill Ranch, California, in the
amount of $185,602.00.
Discussion:
The City of Palm Desert will be installing the storm drain line at the following
locations:
• From the Whitewater Channel, across Miles Avenue, then north on
Warner Trail, across Fred Waring Drive, ending at Mountain View
Avenue.
• From the intersection of Fred Waring Drive and Wamer Trail, west
along Fred Waring Drive to Elkhorn Trail, continuing north on Elkhorn
Trail, ending at Indiana Avenue.

The City is working in conjunction with the City of Indian Wells and Coachella
Valley Water District to facilitate these storm drain improvements, as both the
City of Indian Wells and the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) will also be
working on various projects in the same area.
The City of Indian Wells will be completing the Miles Avenue Bridge crossing at
the Whitewater Wash, reconstructing Miles Avenue from the bridge to
Washington Street, and reconstructing Warner Trail from Miles Avenue to Fred
Waring Drive. They are also installing gravity sewer lines to a local neighbor-
hood west of Warner Trail and north of Miles Avenue.
CVWD is installing a sewer force main from their plant on Fred Waring Drive,
east along Fred Waring Drive, south on Warner Trail, turning west onto Miles
Avenue arriving at a new pump station. In addition, they will be installing a sewer
force main along Miles Avenue from the new pump station to the intersection of
Miles Avenue and Washington Street. They will also be installing new water
lines at the same time.
It was determined that a joint project would be beneficial for the following
reasons:
1. It would minimize the impact to the driving public, since all of the
roadwork would be completed at one time.
2. Coordination of one project with one contractor would eliminate
potential conflicts.
3. There would be a cost reduction to each entity.
This project will be completed in several stages to ensure that the work is
coordinated so as to not "destroy" any prior improvements and with the focus that
all the work within Miles Avenue, Warner Trail and Fred Waring Drive is
completed prior to September 1, 2004.
Based upon all the project impacts the following is the proposed time table:
April 1, 2004
April 13, 2004
May 4, 2004
May 13, 2004
June 7, 2004
August 31, 2004
February 2005
