Since the initial grants were awarded, both the FY2017/2018 Sidewalk Retrofitting and the FY2017/2018 Transit and Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities Grant underwent revisions to their scopes of work to include design and construction costs for the City's Chino High School Improvements Project. The City has also requested deadline extensions; on April 6, 2022, SBCTA approved the last extension extending the final deadline to December 31, 2023.The City has been working alongside the Chino Valley Unified School District to get the Chino High School Improvements project completed. The City's portion of the project construction has already been completed; however,the City is waiting for the school district to submit its final invoices and file a notice of completion for the project. The City of Chino is eagerly awaiting the Chino Valley Unified School District's completion of these tasks. However,the school district's closeout of the project goes through the Division of California State Architect which has its own lengthy process. Unfortunately,the City has no control of their schedule. At this point,we do not foresee the school district being able to meet the grant's stipulated deadline of December 31, 2023. Therefore,the City of Chino is requesting the deadline be extended to December 31, 2024. This ' extension will provide a crucial buffer to ensure the comprehensive and successful implementation of these projects. Also, as an introduction, I recently started as the City of Chino's new Public Works Director in September 2023. 1 look forward to meeting you in person and working with you and your team.
