Hi Lisa,

Hi Paula,
Thank you for your quick response. The total spend-to-date for the projects is all we need. No need to include copies of payments.

Hi Lisa,
As you may know, the Town started construction of the Bear Valley bridge project. Construction started in February and we expect the project to be completed by the Summer of
2028. Construction is about 20% done but the work related to the bike path will take place later in the project. We can provide evidence of the expenses up to date so that you can
document progress on the project. Are you looking for copies of progress payments?
Thank you,

Hi Richard,
Thank you for providing the requests. I understand that there has been $0 spent on the bike/ped components for both Bear Valley Rd Bridge Connector and the
Central Road Class II Bikeway projects. However, the grant requires awardees to demonstrate expenditure of some funds within 1 year of award notification.
Because of this, can you provide the project expenses to date for the two projects so we can demonstrate that progress is being made?
Thank you,
Lisa

*Bear Valley Bridge project commenced in December 2025 and is expected to be completed in April 2028. The Bike/Pedestrian
component is anticipated to be one of the last tasks to be constructed. The bridge will be partially reconstructed and widened to
include the construction of a Class 1 Bike path on the north side. The adjoining street will also be widened and include a new bike path
after the bridge widening is completed. It may be possible that the construction scheduled is accelerated from the estimated time of
completion (April 2028) and the construction of the Bike path/pedestrian component may meet the 12/30/2027 deadline.
**Central Road Class 2 Bikeway- The design is completed and the project was ready to construct last summer. However, the Engineer’s
estimates exceeded the original cost estimate. Construction could start early next year pending Council’s approval of funding
priorities.
For cash flow purposes, and depending on Town Council’s priorities, staff might request a one year extension of time.
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.
Thank you,

On May 3, 2023, the SBCTA Board approved changes to the program that now require annual Progress Reports. We hope
this will help us get ahead of any potential issues and limit the number of times we need to go to the Board with scope
change and extension requests. In addition to the progress reporting requirement, awardees must also demonstrate
expenditure of some funds within ONE year of award notification and, for construction contracts, a contract must be
awarded within THREE years of award notification. We expect there to be some leniency for existing awards, particularly
with the one year expenditure rule. If funds have not yet been spent, please provide a brief project schedule showing how
the City intends to complete the project by the deadline.
For more information please see: Agenda - Wednesday, May 3, 2023 (gosbcta.com) or feel free to reach out to me directly
with questions.
Thank you,
