STAFF ANALYSIS
CIP Project #42026 – Estrella Parkway – Vineyard Avenue to MC85 (Estrella Bridge) is described to provide final design services for improving Estrella Parkway including two bridge structures from Vineyard Avenue to MC85. The design and preconstruction services began in September 2022. In March of 2023, the draft Transportation Master Plan identified possible changes to the final roadway and bridge design.
This Council Action Request is to seek approval of expenditures for the design of Estrella Parkway – Vineyard Avenue to MC85 (Estrella Bridge). The staff determined the change from a 4-lane to a 6-lane major arterial roadway section, including modifications to two existing bridge structures and designing two new bridge structures would be in the best interests of the City.
Staff is recommending this increase of spending authority to execute the Contract Change Order to complete the design and preconstruction services.
