OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
June 22, 2018
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
Notable Items
We are pleased to announce the promotion of Anthony Galazaga to the position of Fire Chief. My congratulations to Anthony on this well-deserved honor. We also
express our appreciation to outgoing Chief Doug Greener for his 30 years with the Fire Department, and 9 as Chief. The official press release with more information is
attached.
Barring any contingent circumstances that may arise, we have scheduled the anticipated bid award dates for the four major TRIP bid packages that remain. They
are:
o August 15th for Phase 2 – Belle Terrace Operational Improvements The project
includes improvements on SR-99, the Belle Terrace Overcrossing (OC), the NB SR-
99/EB SR-58 Connector, and local roads. The improvements on SR 99 include
addition of a NB auxiliary lane from the Ming Avenue On-ramp to the NB SR-
99/EB SR-58 Connector ramp. The existing Belle Terrace OC will be replaced with
a higher and wider overcrossing, and the NB SR-99/EB SR-58 Connector will be
reconstructed. Improvements on the local roads include realigning Alamo Court
and Wible Road and raising Belle Terrace. *note we may ask for a special
council meeting with one item on the agenda to accelerate the project into
construction a few weeks to get ahead of other Centennial Corridor phases and
Caltrans projects on SR 99.
o September 19th for 24th Street Operational Improvements. The project includes
improvement on 24th Street to widen from four lanes to six lanes from Elm Street to
C Street and reconstruction of 23rd Street and 24th Street one-way couplet
roadway segments from D Street to 0.2 miles east of M Street to provide for four lanes in both directions. The project also includes the expansion of the 24th Street
at Oak Street intersection to provide for four lanes in both directions for 24th Street and to allow for triple left turn lanes at NB Oak Street. In addition, the project will
General Information
June 22, 2018 Page 2
provide landscaped medians and streetscapes along the corridor between Elm Street and C Street.
o October 17th for Phase 3 – Bakersfield Freeway Connector. The project includes
the addition of auxiliary lane on WB SR-58, reconstructing and realigning the WB
SR-58 to SB SR-99 loop connector ramp, construction of a branch connector for
SR-58 to SB SR-99, and constructing a collector distributor along SB SR-99 for the
Ming Ave off-ramps;
o October 17th for Stockdale Hwy/Enos Lane Roundabout. The proposed
improvements along Stockdale Highway and Enos Lane includes modification of
the existing four-way stop controlled intersection to a single lane roundabout
designed for future restriping to a two-lane roundabout
First meeting in February 2019 for Phase 4- Centennial Corridor Mainline & Ramp
Connector. The project extends SR-58 from the existing offset at SR-99 to the east
end of the Westside Parkway (WSP). From SR-99, SR-58 will span Real Road and run
parallel to Stockdale Highway for approximately 1,200-feet west at which point it will
turn in a northwesterly direction and span the Stockdale Highway/Stine Road
Intersection, Ford Avenue, La Mirada, Marella Way, California Avenue, Commerce
Drive, and the Carrier Canal before joining WSP in the vicinity of the Truxtun Avenue
Interchange. In addition, the project will construct the NB SR-99 to Westbound SR-58 ramp connector.
Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on South Dakota vs. Wayfair, Inc. This ruling
now gives states broad authority to require online retailers to collect sales taxes. States can now require out-of-state retailers to collect their states sales taxes
even if they do not have a store, warehouse or physical presence in that state. The effective date of this action is August 1, 2018, which means the additional sales tax
revenues should begin flowing to local agencies in the November 2018 tax distribution. At this point we do not have any estimation of what sort of revenue
increase we might see as a result of this court ruling. However, we do know that the out-of-state revenues will be considered “use tax”, which means the money will go
into the county pool and be spread by population. Bakersfield makes up just under 50% of the countywide population. Also important to note, any new revenue
received from online sales tax is half of what it would be if the purchase was made on-site locally.
Traffic Advisories
Nighttime Connector Ramp Closures: State Route 99 to Eastbound State Route 58
The contractor for the Beltway Operational Improvements Project has scheduled
nighttime closures for both the northbound and southbound State Route 99 to
eastbound State Route 58 connector ramps from Sunday, June 24 through Thursday,
June 28, between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Detour signs will be in place to direct
General Information
June 22, 2018 Page 3
State Route 99 traffic to eastbound State Route 58 while the ramps are closed. The closures are needed to allow the contractor to work on the freeway barrier along the
west end of State Route 58.
Motorists should also anticipate ramp closures of the eastbound State Route 58 Union
Avenue on- and off-ramps, the two outside eastbound freeway lanes between Union
Avenue and Cottonwood Road, and the westbound State Route 58 Union Avenue on-
ramps for electrical work. This work will also require alternating lane closures on
northbound and southbound Union Avenue, but at least one lane will remain open in
each direction while work is underway. These closures are expected to be in place
Monday through Thursday between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Median work on State Route 99 will require nighttime lane closures of the two inside
lanes between Ming Avenue and Wilson Road on Monday through Thursday nights
between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
On Wednesday and Thursday nights, the southbound State Route 99 Ming Avenue on-
ramp and the two outside southbound freeway lanes between Ming Avenue and
Wilson Road are expected to be closed between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Closures are also planned for the two outside lanes on westbound State Route 58 on
Wednesday and Thursday nights.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director NF
DATE: June 15, 2018 SUBJECT: Council Referral #805 – Wood chips along Highway 178
Referral: Councilmember Weir requested of City Staff to spread additional wood chips along Highway 178
Public Works staff contacted the local Caltrans Maintenance Division to request
completing the installation of wood chips on State Route 178 at Morning Drive
interchange.
Staff offered to use wood chips from the City’s green waste facility, however, Caltrans desires to use wood chips that meet their standard specifications which match what
has already been installed at the interchange.
The Caltrans Maintenance supervisor indicated that the installation of wood chips is his highest priority. Once the new fiscal year budget is in place in July, Caltrans will go out
to bid for the project with plans to have the job begin in September 2018.
