TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager AT/CH/CB
Subject: General Information
Good News:
We had an exceptional bid opening this past Wednesday, October 15th for the
Beltway Operational Improvements. Staff estimated the project at $104 million and
the low bidder, Security Paving, came in at $81.879 million. Griffith was second at
$84.292 million.
As a result of the competitive bid process, there is a surplus savings of approximately
$20 million (rounded after contingency reserved etc.) that can be utilized to
accelerate project elements which ultimately reduce the Centennial Corridor scope.
The City now has enough remaining in the earmark for Westside Parkway Operational
Improvements and/or additional Beltway Operational Improvements along State
Route 99. Even after these projects are completed, there may still be an additional $4
million in savings which could further reduce local dollars spent in the TRIP program.
The Beltway Operational Improvement (BOI) project is the leading roadwork package
needed for the Centennial Corridor project. It consists of auxiliary lanes; on and off
ramp improvements; sound walls on SR 58 and SR 99; and will improve operations on
SR 99 at Ming Avenue, allowing for a seamless integration with the Centennial Corridor
project. In the TRIP program, the BOI is the single largest bid package to date. The
complete bid analysis and validation will now take place with the award scheduled
for the October 22nd Council Meeting.
Paving operations for the final two miles of the Westside Parkway began on Monday,
October 13th. The contractor is currently working on the base paving, which is
expected to be completed within the next two weeks. The finish paving will follow and
will take about four to five weeks to complete. The base layer is six inches in depth,
while the finish pavement will be approximately 12 inches in depth. The operation is
currently paving a 25-foot wide path along the alignment, and the contractor hopes
to complete approximately 1,500 linear feet of paving per day. The contractor has
installed a temporary batch plant onsite to provide the concrete for the roadway
paving operation. This phase of the project will provide two lanes in each direction,
with 10-foot inside and outside shoulders. Attached are some pictures of the project.
Beginning Monday, October 20th the Bakersfield Police Department Citizen Volunteer
Unit will begin patrolling the Downtown Bakersfield area. Trained volunteers will be
operating marked BPD Citizen Volunteer vehicles and will act as extra eyes and ears,

alerting police officers to potential suspicious or criminal activity. They will also be
available to assist the public with information, such as directions and locations of
various buildings.
Over the past several months, staff has reviewed the process by which event
organizers apply for and are issued a special event permit. This permit is generally
issued when an event organizer proposes to use the public right-of-way for events such
as a running event, bicycle race or car show. Staff has reviewed the special event
permitting process used in other comparably-sized cities and are proposing minor changes which will improve the process for both the applicant and staff.
The first proposed change is to increase the number of days prior to the event an
applicant must submit a completed application from 10 to 45 days. The second
change will require the applicant to provide more comprehensive information on the
application form, which is expected to only affect larger proposed events where more
detailed information is needed. Both changes require minor updates to the existing
Municipal Code language, which are proposed as part of the ordinance cleanup on
the October 22nd Council Agenda. Please note, the proposed updates will not
change the process for parades or special events taking place at City parks.
TRIP:
