SUBJECT: TDA PROJECT SCOPE CHANGE REQUEST – HAVEN SIDEWALK
IMPROVEMENT
Dear Ms. Koblasz:
The City of Rancho Cucamonga is requesting that SBCTA consider approval of a scope change
for the approved Haven Sidewalk Improvement project TDA Article 3 grant awarded in FY
21/22. The Original Scope and Proposed Change of Scope are outlined below.
ORIGINAL SCOPE OF WORK:
The Project includes construction of an 8-foot-wide curvilinear parkway sidewalk along the east
side of Haven Ave. in front of Chaffey College from 250 feet north of Banyan St. to Wilson Ave.
PROPOSED CHANGE OF SCOPE:
Instead of constructing an 8-foot-wide curvilinear parkway way sidewalk, we now propose the
revised Project to include construction of a 6-foot-wide curb adjacent sidewalk while keeping the
same project limits.
The original scope of work intended to implement a combined use of the walkway for bicycle
and pedestrians by constructing an 8-foot-wide curvilinear sidewalk. Since the original project
proposal and TDA FY 21/22 grant award, the City has used its own funds to construct street
improvements on Haven Avenue from Banyan Street to Wilson Avenue, to accommodate
bicycles. These street improvements included asphalt overlay of the entire width of the street and
the addition of a Class II bike lane for both north and south bound travel. In order to be
consistent with the City’s current General Plan vision to promote walking and bicycling while
also being conscious of our environmental footprint, we have shifted away from the construction
of meandering sidewalks and moved towards curb adjacent sidewalks to provide an
environmentally friendly design by reducing the need for landscaping and irrigation.
The total estimated cost of the original Project was produced in August of 2021. Due to
escalation in costs since that time, the City intends to use the awarded TDA funds in full to
construct the Project with the proposed scope change.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga is committed to completing this project and respectfully
requests that SBCTA consider approval of this scope change request.
If you should have any questions related to this request, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me
at 909-774-4057 or cesar.guevara @cityofrc.us.
Sincerely,
Cesar Guevara
Project Manager / Associate Engineer
