RE: 2019/2020 Day Creek Channel Bike Trail – Extension
Dear Ms. Garcia:
Per your June 6, 2022 request, San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) staff is extending
the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 grant funded project deadline as outlined below.
Project Type Bicycle/Pedestrian

*As long as the project is progressing, SBCTA staff has the authority to grant two one year
extensions. Additional extension(s) must be approved by the SBCTA Board.
As a friendly reminder, the TDA Article 3 grant award is paid through a reimbursement process upon
project completion or through progress payments for awards over $200,000 (with a 10% retention until
project completion). It is required that a TDA claim form and supporting documentation of project
completion or progress are submitted to SBCTA prior to disbursement of funds. The TDA Article 3 grant
award is for a maximum reimbursable amount. Should your project exceed the maximum reimbursable
amount, SBCTA will not provide any additional reimbursement. For projects completed under the awarded
amount, SBCTA will reimburse your agency for the TDA Article 3 share of the project using the match
percentage identified above and in your grant application. Please also keep in mind that staff expenses
may only be used to fulfill the local match requirement under select circumstances.
Upon project completion, please go to www.gosbcta.com/tda3 to access claim forms and instructions for
reimbursement filing. If you have any questions, please contact me via email at gkoblasz@gosbcta.com or
by phone at (909) 884-8276 x112.

RE: TDA PROJECT EXTENSION REQUEST – DAY CREEK CHANNEL BIKE
TRAIL
Ms. Koblasz –
The City of Rancho Cucamonga is requesting a one-year extension on the grant award received
for the completion of the Day Creek Channel Bike Trail project awarded in July of 2019.
Due to pandemic staffing shortages in 2020 and early 2021 the project had progressed slowly.
Additionally, the retirement of the two staff members who were working directly on the project
has caused the project to be put on hold until positions are able to be filled; Ping Kho, Assistant
Engineer retired in early November 2021 and Curt Billings, Associate Engineer and primary
project manager for the project, retired abruptly in December 2021.
The City has been working to fill both positions over the past 6 months and anticipates this team
will be fully staffed again by August 2022.
Design work for the project has been completed to approximately 95% and right-of-way
acquisition for a small portion of property necessary to complete the project has been initiated. It
is anticipated that once staff is on-board and acclimated to their new role, work will begin to
push the project forward in the Fall of 2022 with anticipated construction in the Spring/Summer
of 2023.
Though we anticipate the project will be completed well before December 2023, the City would
like to request a full one-year extension to account for any unforeseen issues such as longer than
anticipate right-of-way acquisition, or long lead times for construction materials.
If you should have any questions related to this request, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me
at 909-774-2046 or justine.garcia@cityofrc.us.
Sincerely,
Justine Garcia
Deputy Director of Engineering Services
