TO: COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
FROM: REDEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
CONTRACT WITH MAINIERO, SMITH AND ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT
DESIGN WORK IN THE NORTH INDIAN CANYON DRIVE/NORTH PALM CANYON DRIVE
CORRIDOR, MERGED PROJECT AREA#1 (NORTH PALM CANYON)
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Community Redevelopment Agency("CRA")approve a contract with Mainiero,Smith
and Associates, Inc.forthe design of a public improvement project along North Indian Canyon
Drive, Stevens Road, and North Palm Canyon Drive, in an amount not to exceed $3,500.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the ongoing efforts to improve the North Indian Canyon Drive/Palm Canyon Drive
corridor,Agency staff has proposed a series of street-, sidewalk-, and parking improvements
in the former North Palm Canyon Drive Project Area (now part of Merged Project Area#1).
In addition, there is now significant neighborhood interest in seeing the Agency invest in the
Indian Canyon Drive Corridor, as evidenced by the turnout at the October 23 neighborhood
meeting and the November 14 Council Study Session. Other proposed street improvements
may include Granvia Valmonte, Via Altamira, Indian Canyon Drive, Racquet Club Drive, and
others. Those improvements have not yet been designed but will follow later in this fiscal year.
The proposed improvements on Indian, Stevens, and Palm Canyon have already been
designed. This contract is with Mainiero, Smith to take its previous public and private designs
done for a private developer and pull out the street and sidewalk improvements so that public
bid specifications may be prepared by the City Engineer. The Agency would bid those
improvements out as a public works contract. The estimated cost of the Agency-constructed
improvements is approximately$93,000; the remainder of the $200,000 to $300,000 in area
improvements proposed by staff on November 14 would be constructed in other parts of the
Project Area, though they have not been designed yet.
These proposed improvements include street and sidewalk improvements, as well as cross
gutters, spandrels, and drive approaches. Also included is the undergrounding of electric
utility lines because it's an objective of the City's and it does not directly benefit one property.
This contract is strictly for that subset of design work and does not award any contract for the
actual construction of the improvements. The funds necessary for the Agency to contract for
this work are available in Accort No. 811-8191-43200.
