OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
Nov. 6, 2020 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information
City Offices will be CLOSED Wednesday, November 11, in observance of the Veterans Day holiday. Curbside trash and recycling services will not be affected. B-CARES Update
The City of Bakersfield has expanded the eligibility for the B-CARES grant program to “Tier II” status, making local small businesses that have previously received other
federal or local funds eligible for these grants as well. Since the program launched in September, the City has approved 159 applications and provided $900,000 to local
businesses that have suffered losses due to the pandemic and related state-mandated closures and restrictions. There are another 95 applications in the review
process, and 315 applications that fall into the “Tier II” status.
In September, the City allocated $3 million in Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security funds to create the B-CARES grant program. Initially, businesses that had
received Paycheck Protection Program or Kern Recovers funds were not eligible for
the B-CARES grants, allowing businesses that had received no funding to benefit from
this program first. One of the program’s main goals was to provide support to
businesses that did not qualify for those loans due to employee staffing requirements,
such as those owner-operated organizations with zero staff on payroll.
Anyone interested in applying for a B-CARES grant can do so here.
General Information Nov. 6, 2020 Page 2
If you have questions about the program, how to apply, how the money is delivered once approved, this webinar from the Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce
and City of Bakersfield should answer them. Notable Items
The newly opened Brundage Lane Navigation Center is already making an
impact in the City, having registered more
than two dozen clients – including several
couples – as well as seven dogs. Staff at
the BLNC say many of the new clients
have been “shelter-resistant” in the past
because they would have been required
to be separated from their partner or pet
at other shelters. The BLNC allows clients to keep those connections while also
receiving a place to sleep, medical and mental health services, job training
opportunities, as well as being put on a path to permanent sustainable housing.
The City of Bakersfield processed more housing permits in October than any other month in the last five years, and more this year through last month compared to the
same point in 2019, both signs that the City continues to grow.
According to a report from the Development Services Department, last month the
City – already the ninth-largest in California – issued 240 single-family home building
permits, more than double the total approved in October 2019 (108). It is the fifth time this year that a monthly total has surpassed the total from the same month in 2019.
There have also been more single-family home permits issued this year to date: 1,245
(2020) to 1,242 (2019).
Building overall has also increased compared to last year. In 2020, the City has issued 11,544 total permits through October, compared to 11,169 to the same point in 2019.
October's 240 single-family home permits are the most issued for any month in the last
five years. July 2019 is the next closest at 200.
The City honored dozens of employees at Wednesday’s City Council meeting, presenting the 2020 Excellence In Action Awards. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the
recipients were not able to attend the meeting in person this year, but instead, staff
created a special commemorative video presentation.
In addition to recognizing the EIA Award recipients, the video also featured the 2020
Extra Mile Award winner and the Shining Team Achievement Recognition (S.T.A.R.)
Award. The City also recognized several other teams who made significant
contributions to the City and its residents during this very challenging year. The video
can be watched on the City’s YouTube channel.

The Bakersfield Police Department held its annual HalLAWeen event on Friday,
October 30 at Beach Park (below and right). Even though the event had to be
changed to drive-thru style because of the ongoing pandemic, more than 500 vehicles
came through that night!
A crew from Bakersfield
Fire Station 5 came to the aid of an elderly
woman in an
unexpected way this
week. The battery on
the woman’s power
chair died while she was
on the side of East White
Lane leaving her
stranded several
hundred yards from her
home. That’s when
Company 5 came to
her rescue: a firefighter used webbing straps to pull the chair while another member
of the crew pushed from behind (above). Engine 5 also provided a safety barrier on the road with its lights flashing as the trio made their way to the woman’s home, where
she was returned safely. Traffic Advisories
Closure in effect at 23rd and B Streets
The City of Bakersfield’s Streets Division has closed the east side of B Street at 23rd Street in order to complete a project to remove and replace a cross gutter.
General Information Nov. 6, 2020 Page 4
The closure is expected to be in effect from Monday, November 2 until Monday,
November 16.
During the closure, drivers will not be able to access 23rd Street from B Street, nor B Street from 23rd Street. Drivers are advised to use alternate routes.
Residential access will not be affected.
The City thanks the public for its patience during the completion of these improvements.
Please note: Construction work may be postponed and rescheduled without notice due
to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances. The City thanks the public for
its patience during the completion of this work.
Closure planned for Marella Way
Marella Way will be closed at the freeway alignment beginning November 4. The closure is needed for excavation and construction of new bridge and is expected to last for nine
months.
Residents can use La Mirada to cross the alignment while the new bridge is under
construction.
Construction schedules may be changed without notice due to unforeseen
circumstances. The Thomas Roads Improvement Program apologizes for any
inconvenience this work may cause the traveling public.

Work on the 24th Street Improvement Project is coming to an end. The project added a lane in each
direction between Oak Street and M Street, improved the 24th Street/Oak Street intersection, and
landscaped the corridor in the residential section of 24th Street. The project also installed a new
drainage system to address frequent flooding along this downtown corridor.
PROJECT STATUS
24th Street Improvement Project
Contractor: Griffith Company
98% complete; anticipated completion: fall 2020
The contractor completed final manhole adjustments and all mainline and roadway HMA in October.
Work continued on irrigation and landscape planting within the residential section of the corridor. Final
work includes electrical, sign installation, and various punch list items.
Centennial Corridor
Phase 1 - Kern River Bridge Improvements
Contractor: Security Paving Company

Phase 2 – Belle Terrace Operational Improvements
Contractor: Granite Construction
85% complete; anticipated completion: fall 2020
Construction of the concrete coping slab and barrier along the top of the retaining wall along
Northbound State Route 99 between Ming Avenue and the State Route 58 Eastbound Connector was
completed this month. Above the coping slab, sound wall, chain link fence and cable railing was
installed along the concrete barrier.
Crews are performing final grading and placing road base along the west side of Wible Road, Alamo
Street and Mona Way in preparation for our final paving operation. Sidewalk, curb, gutter and storm
drain improvements are now complete in these areas.
Construction of the concrete barrier along both sides of the Belle Terrace Bridge was completed. The
goal is to open the bridge to traffic by Thanksgiving.
Construction of the auxiliary lane along the outside of northbound 99 between Ming Avenue and
past the State Route 58 Connector Bridge was completed. Crews have begun final grading between the
auxiliary lane and the retaining wall. Concrete paving was partially completed at the east side of the
State Route 58 Eastbound Connector.
Final paving for the local roads (Belle Terrace, Wible Road, Alamo Street and Mona Way) will be
completed in early November. Striping and installation of permanent signs, lighting and traffic signals
will follow closely behind.
Concrete paving east of the State Route 58 East Connector Bridge will be completed later in the month.
Asphalt paving and storm drain improvements along the east side of the traveled way in this area will
also be completed.
Phase 3 – Bakersfield Freeway Connector
Contractor: Security Paving Company
50% complete; anticipated completion: summer 2021
This phase of Centennial Corridor reconstructs the westbound-to-southbound loop ramp at the State
Route 58/State Route 99 interchange. The project also constructs a new barrier-separated off-ramp to
Ming Avenue from southbound State Route 99.
The contractor removed falsework from the Ming Avenue off Ramp Bridge. Work continued on the
Ming Avenue off-ramp structure located alongside southbound State Route 99. Construction on this
structure is expected to be completed in November.
Excavation of the slope along the west side of southbound State Route 99 continued in October. A
new retaining wall and sound wall will be constructed in the area along southbound State Route 99 to
provide space for the new Ming Avenue off-ramp alignment.
Construction of the first phase of the cut and cover tunnel continues at the westbound State Route
58-to-southbound State Route 99 loop connector. The walls and deck of this structure were placed
during October.
Mechanical and electrical installation is underway at the Belle Terrace Pump Plant, and drainage
work continues at various locations within the project site.

Phase 4 – Mainline
Contractor: Security Paving Company
36% complete; anticipated completion: fall 2022
This phase constructs the freeway and multiple bridge structures between State Route 99 and the
Westside Parkway.
Construction continues on the columns near the State Route 58/State Route 99 Junction for the future
northbound-to-westbound flyover. The contractor has completed 8 of the 15 total columns at this
location.
Construction continues on the columns for the bridge at Stockdale at Bent 2 & 3. This bridge will be
built diagonally across Stockdale Highway and requires a total of 14 columns; there are three columns
remaining on the south side to form and pour.
The new bridge structure at Ford Avenue has been stressed and falsework is being removed.
Additional work at this location, which includes slope paving and barrier rail, is expected to continue into
2021.
Roadway reconstruction and paving are being finished on La Mirada Drive, and is expected to reopen
in November. Marella Way will then close at the corridor alignment to allow construction of a new
bridge at that location.
Concrete was poured for the California Ave southbound bridge deck. Retaining walls are under
construction along Del Rio Court south of California Avenue and along Easton Drive on the north side of
California Avenue. Falsework erection started in October for the new structure crossing the Carrier Canal
and Commerce Drive. Various walls and drainage systems are also under construction throughout the
project area.
State Route 43/Stockdale Highway Roundabout
Contractor: Griffith Company
Construction is complete
This project replaced an existing 4-way stop with a roundabout at the State Route 43 (Enos Lane) and
Stockdale Highway intersection.
