Subject: Notification of Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article3 Award Rescission – FY 2019/20
Lakeside Loop Project
Dear Mr. Sund:
This letter serves as rescission notification of the City of Big Bear Lake’s TDA Article 3 fiscal year 2019/20
Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities award in the amount of $200,000 for the Lakeside Loop Project. Funding for
this project expired on December 31, 2022 and, according to City of Big Bear Lake staff, this project is no
longer in the City’s construction plans.
On May 3, 2023, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Board of Directors approved
policy updates that apply to all active awards aimed at ensuring projects are delivered in a timely manner
consistent with award terms.
“In order to ensure TDA Article 3 funding is kept moving, award funds will be rescinded if no
progress has been made within one year of award notification or if a construction contract has not
yet been awarded within three years of award notification. Applicants are welcome to reapply for
future funding.”
The City of Big Bear Lake has 30 days after receipt of this notification to appeal in writing to the SBCTA
Deputy Executive Director, Carrie Schindler at cschindler@gosbcta.com. In order to successfully appeal
this rescission, the City must be able to demonstrate progress by providing documentation of invoices paid,
a copy of an executed contract for project construction, and a current project schedule.
Please feel free to contact me with questions at 909-884-8276 or gkoblasz@gosbcta.com.
Sincerely,
Ginger Koblasz
Senior Planner
