Subject: FY 2021/2022 Bear Valley Road Bridge Connector – time extension request
Dear Ms. Chou,
The Town of Apple Valley respectfully requests an extension of the completion date for the
above referenced project to 12/31/2027.
Although the Town advertised twice for Phase 1 (grading and utilities relocation) there
were no bids. That led to a shift in the project construction strategy changing it from Phase
1 and Phase 2 (bridge and road work) to one construction phase only. This translates into
schedule and order of work changes. The current project milestones are as follows:
•Advertising for Construction:January 2025
•Construction contract award:February 2025
•Begin Construction:March 2025
•Complete Construction Contract August 2027
While the Town expects to complete work on TDA Article 3 eligible items well before
overall project completion, this time extension will allow for sufficient time to construct,
seek reimbursement and close-out this large scale and complex project.
Should you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me at your
convenience.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Paula Pereira
Project Manager
