October 30, 2015
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager AT
Subject: General Information
Good News:
Congratulations are due to Nick Fidler and the Public Works Department, which will be
recognized as an accredited member of the American Public Works Association
(A.P.W.A) during the City Council meeting on November 4th.
A.P.W.A recognizes Public Works Departments that strive for excellence and “plan,
build, maintain, and improve” communities in which they reside. Though many Public
Work Departments are associated with A.P.W.A, only a select few are accredited. The
City of Bakersfield will be the 104th agency to receive this honor.
As part of the accreditation process, Public Works Staff had to evaluate its ability to
carry out its services by examining its policies, programs and procedures. Public Works
staff was diligent in its self-assessment and made important changes that enabled the
Department to more effectively serve the citizens of Bakersfield.
We appreciate the hard work Nick and his team put into this process, and
congratulate them for their accomplishment.

The California High-Speed Rail Authority will be holding its second Community Open
House Meeting to discuss the Bakersfield F Street Station Alignment (BFSSA) on
Thursday, November 5th at the Marriott beginning at 4:00 p.m.
As a result of a settlement agreement between the City and California High-Speed
Rail Authority, this locally-generated alternative has been developed in cooperation
with the City and will be studied along with the approved Bakersfield Hybrid
Alternative in a supplemental environmental document. The Authority has been
working with the cities of Bakersfield and Shafter, as well as local residents,
stakeholders and regulatory agencies to refine an alignment that includes a station at
the intersection of F Street and Golden State Avenue. Please see the attachment for
more details.
Councilmember Parlier was recently interviewed by the Bakersfield Association of
Realtors. Attached is the article for your convenience.
TRIP:
Nighttime Closures on Eastbound State Route 58 Continue Next Week
Nighttime Closure of Northbound State Route 99/Ming Avenue Off-Ramp
Paving work will continue on State Route 58 next week, requiring nighttime closures of
the eastbound lanes between Real Road and H Street. This work is expected to occur
Sunday night, November 1st through Thursday night, November 5th, between the hours
of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., weather permitting.
The paving work will require the closure of the two inside eastbound lanes between
Real Road and H Street. One eastbound lane will remain open to motorists entering
State Route 58 from the northbound State Route 99 connector ramp. Eastbound State Route 58 access from Real Road will be closed, but motorists will be able to use the
southbound State Route 99 on-ramp from Real Road. Motorists can access eastbound
State Route 58 by using Brundage Lane and entering the freeway at H Street.
Westbound lanes are expected to remain open while crews are working in the
eastbound lanes.
Motorists are also advised that the northbound State Route 99 to Ming Avenue off-ramp will be closed during nighttime hours next week, Sunday November 1st through
Thursday, November 5th, between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. The ramp is expected
to be open to traffic during daytime hours.

Traffic Control on State Route 178 – Alfred Harrell Highway to Miramonte Drive
Night Work at State Route 178/Canteria Drive
Motorists should anticipate delays while driving on State Route 178 next week,
November 2nd - 6th. The contractor for the State Route Widening Project will be working
on drainage systems and will need to close all but one lane of the roadway, between
Alfred Harrell Highway and Miramonte Drive, to perform this work. Motorists should
anticipate having to stop for up to five minutes, Monday through Friday, between the
hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. This work affects both directions of travel on State Route 178. Flagging personnel will conduct traffic control while work is underway, but at least
one lane will be open to traffic in each direction during non-work hours.
Motorists should also anticipate nighttime delays on State Route 178 at Canteria Drive,
Monday through Wednesday between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., while the
contractor repaves the intersection. This work affects all directions of travel and
flagging personnel will be conducting traffic control through the intersection while
operations are underway. All lanes are expected to be open during daytime hours.
REMINDER: Nighttime Closures on State Route 99
Hosking Avenue Bridge Falsework Removal
The contractor for the State Route 99/Hosking Avenue Interchange is in the process of
removing the falsework (temporary support structure) from the new bridge, which will
require nighttime freeway closures during the first two weeks of November.
Weather permitting, full closures of all southbound lanes, between Panama Lane and
State Route 119 (Taft Highway), are expected to begin Sunday night, November 1st.
The contractor expects to start closing southbound lanes at 9 p.m. and motorists
should anticipate delays. All lanes are expected to be closed by 11 p.m. and to
remain closed until 5 a.m. During the freeway closure, southbound traffic will exit State
Route 99 at Panama Lane and continue southbound on South H Street. Motorists can
re-enter the freeway at State Route 119. Northbound traffic will remain on State Route
99 while this work is underway. Removal of falsework above the southbound lanes is
expected to take between two and four nights to complete. All lanes are expected to
reopen in time for the morning commute.
Once falsework has been removed above the southbound lanes, work will shift to the northbound lanes. Removing falsework above the northbound lanes may also take
two to four days to complete. Nighttime freeway closures will be in effect for all
northbound lanes, between State Route 119 (Taft Highway) and Panama Lane, from
11 p.m. to 5 a.m., but the contractor expects to begin closing lanes at 9 p.m. During
the full closure, northbound traffic will exit State Route 99 at State Route 119 and
continue north on South H Street. Traffic can re-enter the freeway at Panama Lane.
Southbound traffic will remain on State Route 99, and all lanes are expected to
reopen in time for the morning commute.

MAP-21
Under recent federal legislation, known as “The Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act” (“MAP-21”), 23
USC 108, Congress authorized both Caltrans and eligible
local public agencies to perform certain early acquisition
activities for voluntary right-of-way acquisitions prior to
completion of the environmental review process and to
obtain full reimbursement of eligible expenditures. The
purposes of early acquisition include expediting project
delivery, creating jobs, and reducing hardship for those
who own property in the proposed path of a project and
encounter difficulties when they seek to sell their property
before final project approval. Early acquisition allows
owners to voluntarily sell and relocate if they wish.
Draft EIR
•The Draft EIR is being finalized by Caltrans and FHWA. Their preferred route is “B”.
•After all the “i’s” have been dotted, and the “t’s” crossed, circulation will follow in April, as will a Caltrans public meeting.
Public Notice
Bakersfield Californian Article
January 20, 2013
Formal Notice
•Caltrans and the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) approved
the early release of $165,000,000.
•Confirming documentation was
received February 21, 2014.
Homeowner Inquiries/Requests
•To date, 85 inquiries /requests from
property owners, some hardship,
some distressed by the lengthy
process.
•Early release is for voluntary sales
only.
•Eminent Domain may not be used
under the early release program.
•After adoption of the Final EIR by
Caltrans and FHWA, normal
acquisition procedures would
become effective.
Security/Protection
•This action legally secures the $165,000,000,
and protects it from political raid. We have
been advised it is the largest early acquisition
amount approved in the county, to date.
•Added to the release of funds for the 24th
Street Widening project, there is $180,900,000
total, fully protected.
Acquisition/Relocation
•All federal and state acquisition
and relocation procedures will
be followed.
Demolition
•There will be no demolition during the early release period.
•All properties will be maintained.
•Owners will be given the option to continue occupancy, if so desired. Otherwise, the properties will be rented.
Toll Credits
•The project will be 89% federally
funded; toll credits apply towards
the local match of 11%.
•This is equivalent to an interest-free
loan until the project is completed.
Use of Funds
•The $165,000,000 pays for:
o Property (To be negotiated by OPC. Agreements over $40,000 will be approved by the City Council.)
o Relocation
o Goodwill
o Condemnations after the early release program concludes
o Structure testing, demolition after the early release concludes
o Right-of-Way support costs
Appraisals, title, escrow, etc.
o Rental and maintenance costs
o OPC Contract costs
City Council Commitment
•$69,000,000 has been spent or legally obligated, to
date.
•The Centennial Corridor is an integral link in the TRIP
projects.
•It has actively been in progress since January, 2008.
•$165,000,000 was approved for early release by
Caltrans and FHWA, the entities that will approve
the EIR.
•The commitment to support this project should
continue through construction and completion.
Conclusion
•This is the best course of action to assist those who simply want the choice to sell now and move forward.
•It also secures the single largest amount of the TRIP federal grant.
