Funding for this project expired on June 30, 2022, after being provided three extensions beyond the original 3-year deadline. In May 2023, City staff indicated in the FY 2023/2024 Annual Update that this project had been completed and that the City would soon be issuing a Notice of Completion with a release of the retention 30 days thereafter. SBCTA was informed that an invoice for this project would be submitted by August 2023. However, SBCTA has still not received an invoice for this project. On May 3, 2023, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Board of Directors approved policy updates 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 “In order to ensure TDA Article 3 funding is kept moving, award funds will be rescinded if no progress has been made within one year of award notification or if a construction contract has not yet been awarded within three years of award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 Yucaipa 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 provide a reasonable explanation for not being able to complete and submit an invoice for this project within the already extended time frame. If you have any questions, please contact me at (909) 884-8276 or gkoblasz@gosbcta.com.
