HomeMy WebLinkAbout11/01/2019AT / CH / JK OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER November 1, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information Notable Items  A major step was taken this week in the City’s efforts to address homelessness. The City agreed in principle to purchase 7.5 acres of property and associated office space from Calcot Limited at 1900 East Brundage Lane (below) for $3.83 million. The property will be used as the site of a new, comprehensive low-barrier homeless shelter. The facility, once all repairs and remodeling are complete, could feature up to 450 emergency beds. The City also agreed to purchase an additional 10 acres of adjacent property for $1.1 million (total agreement: $4.93 million). All the money used to make this purchase will come from the Public Safety & Vital Services Measure (Measure N). While this agreement must still be approved by the City Council at the next available opportunity, it represents an important step in City’s approach to addressing the issue of homelessness in our community. General Information November 1, 2019 Page 2  The City’s Water Resources Department continues to be recognized for its work on the TCP Water Treatment Project, mitigating the level of 1,2,3-Tichloropropane (TCP) in the City’s domestic water supply. The Bakersfield TCP mitigation project was recently selected by the American Public Works Association (APWA) for the 2019 Project of the Year in the More than $25 million Construction Cost- Environmental Category. The project – which was completed on time and within budget – removes 123-TCP from pumped groundwater to meet drinking water regulations. You may remember that back in September the project received the “Excellence Award” in Water/Wastewater Treatment category by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).  A wind storm on Wednesday, October 30 caused quite a bit of damage (above) for the City’s Recreation and Parks Department to cleanup. Staff responded to 28 locations around the City for reports of tree issues. They worked overtime and the Rapid Response Team and area staff also helped with removing toppled trees and downed limbs from public areas.  The Fire Department was also kept busy thanks to the wind. In fact, crews are still out and are expected to remain out over the next few days or so. • Extremely heavy call volume throughout the city consisting of several structure fires, vegetation fires, power lines down, and vehicle rescues. o Fire Department Emergency Communication Center received 534 calls between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. Wednesday.

City Manager’s Office 1600 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93301 661-326-3751 FAX: 661-324-1850 MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Joe Conroy Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2019 Public Information Officer (661) 326-3074 JConroy@bakersfieldcity.us CITY ANNOUNCES REAL ESTATE PURCHASE FOR NEW LOW-BARRIER EMERGENCY HOMELESS SHELTER LOCATION The City of Bakersfield is pleased to announce it has reached an agreement in principle with Calcot Limited to purchase 7.5 acres of property and the associated office complex at 1900 East Brundage Lane for $3.83 million to open a new, comprehensive homeless shelter. The new facility will provide much- needed bed space to assist people experiencing homelessness who typically do not, or cannot access traditional shelters within Bakersfield. This full-service facility will also provide space for on-site service providers to deliver necessary resources through a collaborative system of care to individuals experiencing homelessness. The purchase of this facility represents a significant step in assisting homeless individuals onto a path toward permanent housing. “This new shelter will provide additional bed capacity and resources to homeless individuals who otherwise would not be able to access these types of services,” said City Manager Alan Tandy. “The City looks forward to joining several partners under one unified roof with one objective: To reduce the number of homeless individuals on the streets of Bakersfield.” The new shelter will combine several on-site resources for homeless individuals in a secure and professionally-managed environment. Individuals will have access to case managers, transportation services, housing navigators, medical and mental health services as well as animal care. The facility will have on-site security and will be operated by professionally trained third-party staff. Advantages of this property include: •Up 450 emergency beds, constructed in 2-3 Phases •Existing office space to house all Service Providers on-site. •Space is available for a separate, but attached Bakersfield Police Department southeast substation. Growth in department personnel necessitates added space needs. •Existing office space potential for new Bakersfield-Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative (BKRHC) staff. •Existing conditioned warehouse for Possessions Storage with minimal renovations. •Existing Day-room and Green-Space. •Existing cafeteria area and room for a commercial kitchen. •Appropriate layout and access for Coordinated-Entry •Ability for on-site “referral only” drop off system via shuttle and coordination with partners. •Space for on-site employee parking that will not interfere with operations. •Room for future addition of “safe parking area” if needed. Ten acres of adjacent vacant property that is part of the proposed deal can be used for future affordable housing and/or a City Corporation Yard. The cost of that property is $1.1 million, for a total of $4.93 million. The purchase agreement will be presented to the City Council at the next available meeting opportunity. The funding for this purchase will come from the Public Safety & Vital Services Measure (Measure N). This purchase would be in addition to more than $11.5 million in PSVS funding allocations the City Council has made this year and represents one of several efforts by the City to address homelessness.

PROJECT STATUS 24th Street Improvement Project Contractor: Griffith Company 48% complete; anticipated completion: spring 2020 Access to and from the north side of 24th Street remains closed at Spruce Street, Pine Street, Cedar Street, and Alder Street. The contractor completed work on the curb, gutter, and driveways along 23rd Street between D Street and M Street last month. Completion of the sidewalk along 23rd Street is expected to be completed in November. Paving for the two lanes that have been closed on the south side of the street is underway. Paving is expected to be completed in November, but manholes will need to be raised along this section of the roadway prior to opening these lanes to traffic. Work is expected to begin on 24th Street, between D Street and State Route 178, in November. Drainage, electrical and irrigation work continues at various locations within the project area. November 2019 TRIP Status Report TRIP Status Report November 2019 Page 2 Centennial Corridor All phases of the Centennial Corridor project are under construction. Final completion is anticipated in summer 2022. Phase 1 - Kern River Bridge Improvements Contractor: Security Paving Company 95% complete; anticipated completion: fall 2019 This phase constructed new bridges across Truxtun Avenue and the Kern River for the future Centennial Corridor (State Route 58) westbound exit to Mohawk Street and widened the existing eastbound bridges at the Kern River and Truxtun Avenue to accommodate the future mainline lanes. Work on this phase of the project is nearing completion. Crews are currently forming and placing concrete for barrier rails on the new bridges, and this work will continue in November. The Westside Parkway eastbound on-ramp from Mohawk Street remains closed as crews make ramp improvements. Motorists wanting to travel eastbound from Mohawk Street can use Truxtun Avenue. The contractor will be paving at various locations in November. Electrical and fiber optic work also continues. Phase 2 – Belle Terrace Operational Improvements Contractor: Granite Construction 52% complete; anticipated completion: summer 2020 This phase includes the replacement of the Belle Terrace bridge and a new connector structure for northbound State Route 99 to eastbound State Route 58 traffic. Construction of the northbound State Route 99 to eastbound State Route 58 connector bridge is complete. Installation of guardrail, lighting, striping and concrete barriers is underway. The new bridge is expected to open to traffic in November. The old connector bridge is scheduled for demolition in November and will require a multi-day closure of Wible Road in both directions. Falsework was erected over State Route 99 during nighttime freeway closures in October. Formwork construction and reinforcing steel installation will move forward in November. The cast-in-place concrete retaining wall near the Ming Avenue northbound on-ramp was completed in October and the temporary shoring has been removed. Construction continues on the retaining wall along the outside shoulder of northbound State Route 99. This wall is constructed from the top to the bottom in “lifts.” There are four to six lifts along the length of the wall and work has started on the third lift. The current traffic handling configuration along Wible Road and State Route 99 is expected to remain in place through spring 2020. Phase 3 – Bakersfield Freeway Connector Contractor: Security Paving Company 20% 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.
