Discussion: 3 w
In June of 2008, the City Council authorized staff to begin the engineering design of the southern
extension of Berger Circle (Ring Road) at CSUSB Palm Desert Campus. CSUSB's engineer a 0
completed the design and it has been approved by the City Engineer. The proposed ring road
extension includes the installation of a full four -lane road from the existing termination of the ring CU CU
En
road to Frank Sinatra Drive (see attached map). The design also includes a striping plan which will E
utilize the northern two lanes as parking spaces to match the existing configuration of the existing a
ring road. Access to the University of California Riverside campus from the new ring road extension
is also accommodated in the design.
Landscaping installation is not included in this project. However, if the bids come in below the
engineer's estimate, staff will return to the City Council for consideration to bid a landscaping plan. a w

If the City Council/Agency Board authorized the bid process, the following project schedule is
anticipated.
Task Time
Authorize to Bid June 25, 2009
Bid Project July -August 2009
Award Contract August 27, 2009
Execute Contract September 2009

Road Ownership/Maintenance:
Currently the proposed extension area of the ring road is owned by CSUSB. The connection from
Gerald Ford to the new ring road is owned by the Redevelopment Agency. Staff proposes that the
City build the ring road extension and transfer ownership to CSUSB for the connection road to Frank
Sinatra. Once the road is constructed, CSUSB will maintain the entire ring road. In addition, staff will
secure an easement over the entire ring road to facilitate future installation of infrastructure on the
remaining Agency property.
On June 12, 2009, the University Planning Committee reviewed this item and unanimously endorsed
the project. Staff recommends that the City authorize staff to bid the project and return with a
recommendation.
