Dear Carrie,
I am writing on behalf of the City of Chino to formally request an extension of the grant deadline for the
two Transportation Development Act (TDA)Article 3 projects awarded in October 2017, the Sidewalk
Retrofitting with Accessibility Ramps Project and the Bicycle Path and Pedestrian Facilities Project.
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. We appreciate
