Subject: General Information
Good News:
Attached you will find the monthly TRIP Status Report for the month of October. The
report gives a summary of each TRIP project in construction, in design, and under
review. Completion percentages and pictures of projects are also included. This is the
seventh edition of this important report.
We’re excited to announce that the construction for the State Route 99/Hosking
Avenue Interchange project will soon be underway. In celebration, we’re hosting a
groundbreaking event on October 24 at 11 a.m. at the southeastern quadrant of State
Route 99 and Hosking Avenue. Please see the attached invitation for additional
information and directions. For additional event information, you may contact Jane
Wheeler at (661) 326-3491 or jwheeler@bakersfieldfreeways.us.
This event is funded through contributions from:
Granite Construction Company, project construction
Parson-Brinckerhoff, construction management
Parsons Transportation Group, project design
Attached you will find two referral responses to Councilmember Maxwell’s request to
develop a system to report and track right-of-way property acquisitions related to TRIP
projects. There is also a report from the City Attorney identifying legal actions and services associated with the TRIP-related right-of-way acquisitions.
We expanded the report a bit further to include and track the total costs for TRIP
projects. It’s important to note that not only did all of the right-of-way costs for
completed projects come in under budget, but the overall costs for those projects
came in under budget as well! Those that are in the earlier stages, like the 24th Street
Widening project and the Centennial Corridor, look good to date.
Recent good financial news on TRIP outside of the tracking costs include the $40
million received from Kern County, which delayed the need to borrow, $3.8 million
soon to be received from a remnant property sale near Coffee Road, and a rollover of
$658,067 not spent on the SR-178/Fairfax Road Interchange that can be reallocated to
the SR-178 Widening project.

As part of this year’s water reduction plan initiated by the state-declared drought,
Recreation and Parks initiated their own water reductions to their Parks, medians, and
streetscapes with a goal of reducing water usage by 20% while still maintaining a high
quality appearance for citizens and visitors. For the month of August, the City was
able to save 44.2 million gallons of water, approximately $71,600 in water cost savings
exceeding its 20% goal. Congratulations Recreation and Parks! See attached memo
for additional information.
Attached you will find a complete summary report of this summer’s pool season. The City appreciates the many programs it was able to offer because of the generosity of
its citizens, businesses and other organizations that provided funding as well as service.
TRIP:
Renfro Road Concrete Pour
The concrete pour for Renfro Road, the 13th and last bridge to be constructed on the
Westside Parkway, took place on September 30th. This is a major milestone in the
project. Freeway paving is expected to begin the week of October 13th.
State Route 58, P Street and Cottonwood Road
Nighttime lane closures are planned for State Route 58 next week to allow for
electrical work and the placement of additional concrete barrier rail between H Street
and Cottonwood Road. These lane closures are expected to be in effect October 5-9,
2014, each night, beginning at 7 p.m. and continuing through 6 a.m. the following
morning. All lanes will be affected at some point during the operation, but at least one
lane in each direction will be open to traffic at all times. Motorists should stay alert and
pay attention to construction signage while driving through this area.
Nighttime closures of the Chester Avenue/H Street westbound on-ramp are ongoing.
The closures are expected to be in effect Sundays through Thursdays, each night
between the hours of 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. the following morning. The ramp closures are
needed to complete construction on the adjacent retaining wall, located on the
north side of State Route 58, west of H Street.
Motorists should plan to use alternate routes to access State Route 58 and State Route 99 during these hours. Motorists can use the State Route 58/Union Avenue
Interchange, located approximately one mile to the east, or continue west on
Brundage Lane for approximately one mile to access northbound or southbound State
Route 99.
Cottonwood Road and P Street, at State Route 58, will both be under daytime closures
this week while the contractor removes concrete barrier rail from both locations. The
closures are expected to be in effect October 6-10, 2014, between the hours of 8:30
a.m. and 4:30 p.m. each day.
General Information

MILESTONES
Congratulations to Kristina Budak and Luis Topete, who have assumed the leadership roles for the Thomas
Roads Improvement Program. Kristina and Luis have been involved with the program for many years and have
the specialized knowledge and experience needed to oversee completion of the program’s major
transportation projects, funding oversight, and day-to-day management responsibilities.
Upcoming construction projects held the spotlight in September. Bakersfield City Council approved a $20.7
million contract with Granite Construction Company for the State Route 99/Hosking Road Interchange on
September 10th. Mark your calendars and join us for the ceremonial groundbreaking on Friday, October 24th.
The event will be held at the southeast quadrant of the future interchange. The program starts at 11 a.m. Email
Janet Wheeler at jwheeler@bakersfieldfreeways.us for more information or to RSVP.
Bids for the Beltway Operational Improvements Project will be opened October 15th at 11 a.m. It is expected
that the construction contract will be on the October 22nd City Council agenda. The $100 million project
includes interchange ramp improvements, auxiliary lanes, and sound walls along State Route 58, from east of
State Route 99 to Cottonwood Road, and on State Route 99 from Wilson Road to north of Ming Avenue.
The Rosedale environmental and right-of-way certifications were finalized in September and the authorization
to proceed with construction is in process. Staff expects the project to be advertised for construction in late
October.
PROJECTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Three projects are currently under construction and the SR 99/Hosking Avenue Interchange and Beltway
Operational Improvements will soon be underway. See page 4 for construction photos.
Westside Parkway 6C
Contractor: Security Paving Company
56% complete; anticipated completion: late 2014
The contractor placed concrete for the Renfro Road Bridge deck on September 30th. The bridge will not re-
open until late in the year as crews still need to post tension the bridge, build and backfill the bridge’s back
walls, construct the approach slabs, complete the electrical for and install the decorative lighting, complete
sidewalks and rails, and stripe the bridge.
Roadway subgrade was also substantially completed in September, which means concrete paving activities
will begin on the freeway lanes in October. Roadway paving is expected to be completed by the end of
November. The retaining wall for the eastbound Allen Road off-ramp has been completed and electrical
service points are done so the contractor will start installing freeway lighting this month.
Work on the sewer lift station and the storm water pump station continued through September. The sewer
lift station is substantially complete and is expected to be energized in October. The storm water pump station
structure is complete and ready for the internal equipment to be installed.

Department of Recreation and Parks
TO: Dianne Hoover, Director of Recreation and Parks FROM: Darin Budak, Assistant Director of Recreation and parks DATE: September 26, 2014 SUBJECT: 2014 Water Reduction As part of this year’s water reduction plan initiated by the state-declared drought, our
department was impacted in several ways. First and perhaps most obvious, we turned off all spray parks effectively on 07/29/2014. Additionally, staff performed a
comprehensive study of all parks, medians, and streetscapes, and initiated water
reductions allowing certain areas of the city to “brown out.” I am pleased to report
our prudent efforts to reduce water use throughout our parks are exemplary, which is
much needed at a time when the community wants to see their governing bodies
lead by example. We were able to save 44.2 million gallons of water in August. That is
approximately $71,600 in water cost savings. We exceeded our goal of 20%.
The actual usage figures for the month of August 2013 to August 2014:

RE: 2014 Summer Season Aquatics Report
Sixty lifeguards returned to work this summer, a 67% retention rate which proved the raises really
made a difference in retaining staff. Only 28 new Lifeguards were hired for this summer which saved
money by not having to hold a Lifeguard and Water Safety Instructor courses in the month of May. This has not happened for several years. Aquatic staff included: 88 lifeguards, 10 Assistant Pool
Managers, 4 Pool Managers, 6 Aquatic Coordinators, 4 Clerk Typists, 3 Program Coordinators, and 6 Program Leaders. This is a total of 121part-time staff and 2 full-time staff. Having enough staff
allowed us to increase swim lessons and add new aquatic programs. Currently, we have 58 Lifeguards or 65% working throughout the year. This allows coverage for on-going programs and
keeps the Lifeguards skills and certifications up to date. Attendance: Total attendance at the City pools for the summer was 119,956, an 11.16% increase compared to last
year’s 108,792. There were 10,239 more people who enjoyed the community pools this summer.
This next chart depicts the attendance by programs at each pool and revenue generated.

2014 Summer
The chart below shows the total attendance by pools the last five years. The growth experienced this year was due to an increase in the number of swim lessons and new programs offered. In addition,
the Department received a 2014 Operation Splash Grant for $35,000 from Kaiser Permanente which served hundreds of low-income children and adults throughout Bakersfield.

Swim Lessons
The community took advantage of the three different swim lesson discounts offered this summer
through the First 5 Kern, Kaiser Permanente’s Operation Splash and USA Swimming Foundation grants.
• Lifeguards taught 2,190 participants swim lessons this summer. This computes to 2,071 children,
72 Camp King’s campers, and 47 adults. This is a17.5% increase from last year’s 1,864 total
number of participants taking swim lessons.
MLK Swim Lessons Jefferson Swim Lessons Silver Creek Swim Lessons McMurtrey Swim Lessons # of Swim Lessons 139 197 925 929
• Funding from a First 5 Kern grant provided 540 children ages 0 to 5 and their parents $5
Discounted Swim Lessons for Sessions 3 and 4.
• In Session 1, $5 Discounted Swim Lessons were also provided to 111 children ages 6 months to
12 years whose’ s family met the free and reduced meal income guidelines through a grant
from the USA Swimming Foundation.
• Kaiser Permanente Operation Splash Grant provided funding for 250 children ages 3 to 18
years whose families met the same eligibility requirements as USA Swimming Foundation.
• Totaling the three grants, 901 participants utilized the $5 discounted swim lessons. In order to
meet the needs of these grants, recreation swim ended at 4:30 pm Monday through Friday so more swim lessons could be added to the schedules at each pool.
• Another component of the Kaiser Permanente Operation Splash Grant was having Pool Managers do presentations during swim lessons on Water Safety and Healthy Beverage
Education. They educated families on the health benefits gained by reducing their intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and encouraged them to “Rethink their Drink” by drinking more
water. They also provided water safety tips for parents. There were 766 parents who signed a pledge form to “Rethink their Drink”. This was very successful with parents commenting on the
Swim Lessons Evaluation form that this training was valuable to them.
• Overall the Swim Lessons Evaluations for the four sessions were very positive with comments
such as: “I was very impressed and would refer anyone interested in having a child who needs
swim instruction. Thank you so much! This class may save a life sometime.” Another parent
said, “I like the emphasis on learning to swim as a skill for being safe and not for just having
fun.” One last comment was “I like the staff and quality of professional lifeguard service. This is
my second year attending the swim classes and I have had nothing but a positive
experience.”
Grant Highlights
• Staff presented “Water Safety Presentations to 3,701 children at 80 different schools this 2013-
2014 year through the First 5 Kern “Make A Splash” program grant. Presentations were given to
291 children at 9 different schools during the summer.
• Through First 5 Kern’s Make A Splash Grant and the Kaiser Permanente Operation Splash
Grant, staff taught Pediatric CPR with AED, First Aid and Water Safety classes to 45 participants
this summer.
• A total of 75 individuals received certification in American Red Cross Pediatric CPR with AED,
First Aid, and Water Safety Education for First 5 Kern Make A Splash 2013-2014 year.
• Kaiser Permanente Operation Splash Grant provided funding for 200 individuals to practice
their swimming skills during Open Swim at Jefferson, MLK, and Silver Creek Pools.
• Kicking off the summer season was Kaiser Permanente Operation Splash event on Memorial
Day, Monday, May 26th at McMurtrey from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. There were 568 people who
enjoyed the pools, slides, diving boards, and the Water Safety and Rethink Your Drink booths.

the Park events complete with prizes, games, cold water bottles, and educational materials.
• As part of the USA Swimming Foundation’s Make A Splash Program, 78 participants helped set
a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest simultaneous swim lesson on Friday, June 20th at each of the City’ s pools. This event focused on spreading the word that “Swimming
Lessons Save Lives!” Summer Highlights
• McMurtrey Aquatic Center hosted the following Family Fun Night events:
“Olympic theme” on June 27th Co-Sponsored by BCMEMBA

Combined attendance totaled 1,285 participants.
In addition to the games, activities, slides, basketball, and diving boards, staff had
Rethink Your Drink and Water Safety Booths. Participants enjoyed learning about
healthy beverages and tips to keep their children safe around water by playing games,
spinning the wheel for prizes, and sampling the three fruit infused water drinks.
Everyone also received a cold water bottle and raffle tickets for the chance to win
lifejackets.
• Wacky Fridays were added this summer to bring Family Fun Nights to Silver Creek, Jefferson,
and MLK Pools. These were held once a month on a Friday during Open Swim and they had
the same themes, decorations, games and Rethink Your Drink and Water Safety Booths as the
Family Fun Nights at McMurtrey. They were a big hit with the participants.
• The community generously responded to the Bathing Suit Drive that was held on Friday, June
13th at all City pools and facilities. There were 110 swimsuits donated this summer and
provided to those in need. Today’s Cleaners co-sponsored this event and cleaned gently
used swimsuits.
• The 100 Mile Club swam a combined total of 42,716.98 miles this summer. Lap swim
attendance for the summer was 7,466 which increased 9.5% compared to last year’s

total of 185 participants. Everyone competed for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals and 4th through 18th place ribbons. Total attendance at the Swim Meet was 349.
• In observation of July being Recreation and Parks Month, Discounted Open Swim was offered on July 8th and July 23rd at all City pools.
• One hot new program offered this summer at McMurtrey was Parent & Me Pool Playtime on Friday mornings from 10:00 to 11:30 am. This new program gave parents and their children
ages 5 and under the opportunity to enjoy the McMurtrey Activity Pool in a smaller setting for some water playtime. This was a big hit with the mothers, fathers and their toddlers!
• Participants enjoyed the variety of classes offered this summer from Aqua Zumba, Aqua Conditioning, Deep Water Intervals, Diving, Guardstart-Jr Lifeguarding, to Kayaking. These
classes were held each week and taught by qualified instructors. In addition to the classes offered, Bakersfield Scuba continued to rent lanes in the Olympic Pool for their scuba classes.
• On July 5th &6th & August 2nd Total Aquatic Management conducted unannounced observational and facility audits of all City Pools. The overall audit score for both visits at each
pool facility was “Above Average” with several categories scoring an “Outstanding”. The
Auditor reported the Lifeguards were professional, did a good job of watching the water, and
kept the pools clean and safe. Several Lifeguards scored “Outstanding” as they performed
lifeguard practical skills for the Auditor.
• With the closing of the City Spray Parks, the last two weeks of Open Swim at Jefferson, MLK,
and Silver Creek Pools were free to the public.
