City of Redlands Orange Blossom Trail: Transportation Development Act Grant Time Extension
Dear Ms.Jezik,
As you are aware, the Orange Blossom Trail Phase I Project (Project) is currently under construction
within SANBAG right of way in Redlands(City). As part of the project, 1.3 miles of dual track trail, both
asphalt concrete and decomposed granite, from Grove Street to Wabash Avenue will be constructed. City
staff awarded the project for a construction contract on April 15, 2014, to KAD Paving of Yucaipa,
California.
Construction of the Project has commenced with Reach A, between Grove Street and Judson Street, and
Reach B, between Judson Street and Lincoln Street, nearing completion. While this represents significant
progress toward the completion of the project, Reaches C & D, between Lincoln Street and Dearborn
Street and Dearborn Street and Wabash Avenue respectively, still need to be constructed. The
construction of these reaches has encountered numerous issues due to unforeseen conditions in the field
which will make the completion of the project by the December 31 deadline impossible.
In order to finish the construction of the Project,City is requesting a time extension for the Transportation
Development Act grant. City is formally requesting an extension of time until June 30, 2015. While the
City is not anticipating the project taking this long to complete, the City is unsure of the completion date
given construction will occur during the rainy season.
Should you have any questions regarding the City's time extension request, please contact Ross Wittman
at 909-798-7585, x7.
Thank you,
CHRIS DIGGS
Interim MUED Director
