APPROVE CALTRANS DESIGN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR INDIAN CANYON AND
INTERSTATE 10 INTERCHANGE WIDENING PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve Caltrans Design Cooperative Agreement No. 8-1165 for the design
of the Indian Canyon Drive at Interstate 10 Interchange Widening Project; City Project No.00-14.
SUMMARY:
The City of Palm Springs is the lead agency to oversee the design and construction of the Indian
Canyon/1-10 Interchange Widening Project,which is now in the design stage. The project is a joint
Palm Springs/ CVAG/ County of Riverside/ Caltrans project. Caltrans has requested a Design
Cooperative Agreement to define responsibilities, tasks, and a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with the lead agency regarding the design phase of the interchange, which is a State of
California maintained facility, insuring that the design meets Caltrans standards.
BACKGROUND:
On December 6, 2000, City Council approved a Coachella Valley Association of Governments
(CVAG) reimbursement agreement with the City, as lead agency, in the amount of $943,843 (in
Regional Measure A Grant Funds) to cover the design of the Indian Canyon/ 1-10 Interchange
Widening. This is a joint Palm Springs/ CVAG/ Riverside County/ Caltrans project.
On November 14, 2001, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the City/CVAG agreement,
approving $9,000 for lead agency administrative costs for the preliminary design phase of the
interchange design,thus raising the design project budget to a new total of$952,843. Caltrans has
now requested approval of the attached Design Cooperative Agreement by letter from the Chief of
Agreements for Caltrans District 8- San Bernardino.
Staff time for the interchange design phase is chargeable to account no. 261-4491-50185.

category is defined as that level or type of contamination which said regulatory control
agencies would have allowed to remain in place if undisturbed or otherwise protected in
place should PROJECT not proceed. CITY shall sign any HM-2 storage manifest if
PROJECT proceeds and HM-2 material must be removed in lieu of being treated in place.
If CITY decides to not proceed with PROJECT, there will be no obligation to either CITY
or STATE other than CITY's duty to cover and protect HM-2 material left in place.
(9) If hazardous material or contamination of either HM-1 or HM-2 category is found on new
right of way to be acquired by CITY for PROJECT, CITY, as between CITY and STATE
only, shall be responsible, at CITY expense, for all required remedy or remedial action
and/or protection and shall guarantee STATE that said new right of way is clean prior to
transfer of title to STATE in accordance with Article (15) of Section I of this Agreement.

property owner, whether a private entity or a local public agency, or CITY, as a last
resort, shall sign the manifest.

the development of the necessary remedy and/or remedial action plans and designs.
Remedial actions proposed by CITY on the State highway right of way shall be pre-
approved by State and shall be performed in accordance with STATE's standards and
practices and those standards mandated by the Federal and State regulatory agencies.
(12) Should any portion of PROJECT be financed with Federal funds or state gas tax funds, all
applicable laws, regulations and policies relating to the use of such funds shall apply,
notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement.
(13) A separate Cooperative Agreement will be required to cover responsibilities and funding
for the construction phase of PROJECT.

DEFINITIONS
Basic Design Features - A general description of the facility:
1. The project proposal consists of modifying the existing diamond type L-1 interchange on
Interstate 10 in the Coachella Valley at Indian Avenue (Br #56-0392, KP 53.32) to either a
new partial cloverleaf or new tight diamond with hook ramps. Improvements will extend
from approximately KP 52.62 west of Indian Avenue to approximately KP 53.95 to the
east.
Elements of this proposal include proposed alternatives which consist of an addition of a
loop on-ramp in the northeast quadrant, a hook on-ramp in the southwest quadrant, re-
alignment of the WB off and EB off-ramps, increase in intersection spacing, bridge
replacement for Indian Avenue OC, adjustment of access to adjacent businesses, and
traffic signal additions, deletions and modification.
2. The existing design speed of I-10 is 130 km/hr. The improvements to the interchange do
no involve realignment to the existing horizontal or vertical design.
The existing design speed of Indian Avenue is 50 kph (32 mph). The proposed design
produces a design speed of 55 kph (35 mph).
3. The I-10 at Indian Avenue is an eight-lane freeway with no auxiliary lanes. The Indian
Avenue/I-10 interchange is located west of the Monterey Interchange (PM 44.64). The
improvements to the interchange do not include modification to the existing I-10 eight-lane
configuration.
Indian Avenue as currently exists, consists of a bridge overcrossing with two 3.658 meter
(12 foot) lanes. The proposed alternatives for Indian Avenue allow for six 3.658 meter
(12 foot) lanes, a 4.267 meter (14 foot) median, and 2.438 meter (8 foot) shoulders.

64
District Agreement No. 8-1165
4. Soundwalls are anticipated for the development of a future lodging facility location in the
south west quadrant of the interchange.
No ramp or mainline additions of HOV are incorporated into the design alternatives.
However, the design alternatives do allow for future addition of mainline HOV with
minimal ramp reconstruction.
The bridge is being widened to accommodate the 33.5 meter (110 foot) arterial designation
per the County of Riverside. The widening will help accommodate the anticipated
increase of traffic volumes along Indian Avenue through the year 2030.
The existing ramps are not metered and it is anticipated that re-configuration of the
interchange will not include ramp metering at time of construction.
5. Potential Nonstandard Features
A design exception is potentially required for the following:
Advisory
1. Alt. #1: Distance between Ramp Intersection and Local Road Intersection
(2VAvenue/I-10 WB on and off-ramps) is 83m. The advisory standard is 160m.
2. Alt. #2: Distance between Ramp Intersection and Local Road Intersection
(20`hAvenue/I-10 WB on and off-ramps) is 125m. The advisory standard is 160m.
Mandatory —
1. Alt. #1: Distance between Ramp Intersection and Local Road Intersection
(20"Avenue/I-10 WB on and off-ramps) is 83m. The mandatory standard is 125m.
2. Alt. #1:Nonstandard superelevation rate - EB "free-right" on-ramp from Indian
Avenue WB "free-right" on-ramp from Indian Avenue.
3. Alt #2: Nonstandard superelevation rate - EB "free-right" on-ramp from Indian
