1) Undertake a thorough review and analysis of the draft Rosemead Boulevard
Safety Enhancements and Beautification Project; and
2) Provide the CRA with an implementation plan that takes into consideration a
redesign of the currently proposed utilitarian improvements to the Rosemead
Boulevard Safety Enhancements and Beautification Project, which will partially
take place within the Rosemead Boulevard Redevelopment Project Area.
Mr. Blum stated that the Rosemead Boulevard Improvement Project Ad Hoc
Committee, consisting of himself and Mr. Yu, have been going through the process of
selecting a firm to perform the project management and get through the design
phase and then finally the construction phase. The Committee has selected the firm
and is ready to start that process. The amount of $125,000 is to get through the
initial phases and then an agreement amendment will be needed to undertake the
remaining phases.
Executive Director Pulido stated a couple of years ago, the design for Rosemead
Boulevard was very utilitarian and did not maximize our large potential investment.
Through this contract we will have a construction management firm to evaluate the
project and make sure the areas along Rosemead Boulevard actually get the proper
enhancements. This requires some analysis that we do not have the staff or
resources to do.
In response to Vice Chairman Chavez, he stated it is too early to tell what the later
phases will cost. This project will be phased in over time and the numbers will
probably change, depending on the project budget. The Agency is asked to take on
Phase 1, which is the re- design, and then to take on the some of the tasks of Phase
2, which gets us to the bidding process. Then, from that point forward an
amendment to the agreement would be needed if you wanted to continue with Vanir
to do the construction management. This is being presented to the Agency to take a
second look at the project.
Vice Chairman Chavez said he felt this was an opportunity to not do what we did on
Las Tunas, and that is to create a race track. He liked the idea of looking to see
what we can do to slow traffic down and accommodate drawing businesses in.
Mr. Blum moved to:
1) Approve a $125,000 Consultant Services Agreement with Vanir Construction
Management Inc. to provide the CRA with a redesign implementation plan for the
Rosemead Boulevard Safety Enhancements and Beautification Project;
2) Approve a budget amendment to appropriate $125,000 from the FY 2010 -11
Agency Budget; and
3) Authorize the Executive Director to finalize and execute the Consultant Services
Agreement with Vanir Construction Management Inc.,
