APPROVE CVAG JOINT-AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR GENE AUTRY TRAIL/PALM DRIVE
INTERSTATE 10 INTERCHANGE DESIGN
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council approve a multi-agency reimbursement agreement with the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments(CVAG),as well as with the County of Riverside(lead agency)and the
City of Desert Hot Springs for the design phase of the Gene Autry Trail/Palm Drive interchange at
Interstate 10 at a not-to-exceed cost of $1,524,000. The project will provide for the design
engineering, right-of-way acquisition and environmental work necessary to widen and reconstruct
the interchange to a 6-lane north-south crossing of the freeway, as well as upgraded entry and exit
ramps at all four quadrants of the interchange to accommodate the substantial traffic volumes
projected for the interchange. All these design and related costs are being absorbed by CVAG.
BACKGROUND:
On June 26, 1997,the Executive Committee of the Coachella Valley Association of Govermuents
(CVAG)approved a joint-agency reimbursement agreement proposed by the County of Riverside.
The County and CVAG addressed the need to expedite Project Study Reports (PSR's) for
reconstruction of four(4) interchanges on Interstate 10 at 1)Indian Canyon Drive, 2) Gene Autry
Trail/Palm Drive, 3)Date Palm Drive and 4)Ramon Road. The expedited effort was being made
to assist in the process of receiving federal and state grant funding if funding was made available in
the near future.
On January 25, 1999,the CVAG Executive Committee authorized the design of the Interstate 10 and
Gene Autry Trail/Palm Interchange to proceed,as well as the design of the I-10 interchanges at Date
Palm and at Ramon Road. The interchange at I-10 and Indian Canyon Drive has since moved up the
list and will be the next interchange to be funded for design by CVAG in the near future.
The County of Riverside (lead agency)has since hired Parsons, Brinkerhoff, Quaid and Douglas
to do the design, right-of-way acquisitions and environmental work for the interchanges. The
attached agreement covers the I-10/Gene Autry Trail/Palm Interchange specifically.
City Council is therefore requested to approve the attached joint-agency agreement. There is no City
cost contribution required since all costs are being absorbed by CVAG for the design phase.
