Subject: Omnitrans Article 3 Transit Stop Access Program 2011 funds –
2nd Request for Extension of Funds
Dear Ms. Jezik,
In 2011, SANBAG awarded TDA Article 3 Transit Stop Access Program funds to Omnitrans for
accessibility improvements at 10 bus stops located in five cities. In November 2014, Omnitrans
requested an extension of the deadline for expending funds at five of the locations; and
SANBAG granted the request in December 2014 for an extension until December 31, 2015.
Unfortunately, the improvements at these five locations are not yet completed, and Omnitrans
would like to request an additional extension of the TDA Article 3 Transit Stop Access Program
funds until December 31, 2016.
Improvements at two of the locations, in the City of Upland, are being managed (designed and
put out to bid for construction) by the City of Upland. For efficiency, the City is bidding these
improvements together with another similar project, but both projects have been delayed due to
other projects at the City.
The locations in Upland are as follows:
• Foothill Blvd and Campus Ave - $2,336 awarded with $584 match from Omnitrans
• Foothill Blvd and Grove Ave - $1,887 awarded with $472 match from Omnitrans
Similarly, improvements at three of the locations, in the City of Highland, are being managed by
the City of Highland. The improvements are in final design, but the design process has taken
much longer than expected. The timeline for completion is as follows:
Task Date
Complete design 10/02/15
Bid advertisement 10/15/15
Open Bids 11/05/15
Bid Award 11/24/15
Begin Construction 12/14/15
End Construction 04/29/16
The locations in Highland are as follows:
• Baseline and Valeria Ave - $1,487 awarded with $372 match from Omnitrans
• Baseline St and Victoria Ave - $16,016 awarded with $4,004 match from Omnitrans
• Boulder Ave and Highland Ave - $10,022 awarded with $2,505 match from Omnitrans
I look forward to hearing whether the request for an extension is approved. Please feel free to let
me know if you need additional information. I can be contacted at (909) 379-7256 or
