RE: 2017/18 Orange Blossom Trail Phase III – Extension Request
Dear Mr. Khamphou:
This letter serves as a response to the City of Redlands’s request to extend the deadline to complete a
bicycle/pedestrian project for the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3. In Fiscal Year
2013/14, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Board of Directors approved
grant awards to the Orange Blossom Trail Phase III project in the amount of $918,722. Currently, there is
$627,192.95 in funds remaining for the project. SBCTA concurs with the request to extend the deadline
for the project due to unforeseen delays with Flood Control permitting. The deadline is now set for
December 31, 2020 to allow for completion of the project and reimbursement of the TDA share of the
project cost.
As a friendly reminder, the TDA Article 3 grant award is paid through a reimbursement process upon
completion of the project. It is required that a TDA claim form and supporting documentation of project
completion are submitted to SBCTA prior to disbursement of funds to the City of Redlands. 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 in your grant applications.
Upon completion of the projects, please contact Vanessa Schoenewald, Transportation Programming
Analyst, at SBCTA for the TDA Claim Form and filing instructions for the Bicycle/Pedestrian project.
Vanessa can be reached at (909) 884-8276 or vschoenewald@gosbcta.com. Should you need additional
information regarding this matter, please contact Cameron Brown, Senior Planner, at (909) 884-8276 or
