Dillon Rd Bike Path Alignment Alternatives
Dear Randy:
Albert A. WEBB Associates (WEBB) is submitting this request for a contract
amendment #5 to cover additional services related to the Dillon Road bike path north
side alignment. This amendment is in response to CVAG's request to relocate the
Class I bike path from the south to the north side of Dillon Road, avoiding impacts to
planned development on the south side. The north side alignment offers benefits such
as eliminating the Cabazon Road crossing and separating the bike path from power
lines. It also provides a more consistent alignment and better connectivity to
commercial developments on the north side.
Enclosed are our Scope of Work (Section 1) and Compensation for Services (Section
2) for your review.
Sincerely,
Albert A. Webb Associates
Dilesh Sheth, PE, TE

of the biological survey of the new alignment, and that the following NEPA tasks will be required:
Page 3
CVAG'S ARTS & MUSIC LINE CONTRACT AMENDMENT #5 (CVAG-19-099) - DILLON ROAD BIKE PATH ALIGNMENT
ALTERNATIVES AND ADDITIONAL DESIGN EFFORT
3.1 NEPA Technical Studies
a. Biological Studies
An updated Natural Environment Study (Minimal Impacts) (hereinafter NESMI) and Jurisdictional
Delineation Report will be prepared by WSP to include the new Dillon Road alignment, which includes
evaluation of the roadside drainage area. A field survey will be conducted for the new portion of the
alignment and a windshield survey will be conducted for the previously approved AML alignment.
Revisions to one round of Caltrans comments is included.
b. Cultural Studies
A Supplemental Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) and Archaeological Resources Survey (ASR)
will be prepared by Applied Earthworks Inc. (k) to include the new alignment. The HPSR will include:
- Agency and Tribal Coordination: /E will coordinate with Caltrans regarding the updated Project
Area of Potential Effect (APE) that considers all direct and indirect impacts to significant cultural
resources. The proposed realignment of the APE extends into both the Cabazon Band of Cahuilla
Indians and Twenty -Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians Reservation lands. Therefore, prior to the
field survey, /E will notify the tribes of the proposed APE realignment and request permission to
conduct a survey on tribal lands.
- Field Survey: One of /E's qualified archaeologists will conduct an intensive pedestrian survey of
the modified APE. k's survey transect spacing will range from 10 to 15 meters (30 to 50 feet)
insofar as possible, and the ground surface of all landforms with likely intact and significant cultural
resources, if any, also will be examined. Additionally, /E's archaeologist will investigate any unusual
contours, soil changes, distinctive vegetation patterns, features (e.g., road cuts, ditches, and
stream cuts), and other potential cultural site markers. For the cultural resource survey, /E is not
responsible for landowner permissions and access to the Project. Safe access must be ensured
by CVAG. For the purposes of this price estimate, we assume that no subsurface testing will be
completed and no standing structures or other cultural resources requiring documentation,
updates, or evaluation are present in the modified APE.
- Supplemental Reports: Following completion of the field investigation, /E will prepare an updated
APE Map, a Supplemental ASR and a Supplemental HPSR, to the standards outlined in Caltrans
Standard Environmental Reference, Volume 2, Cultural Resources. Based on communication with
Caltrans, /E assumes a Supplemental (Historic Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) will not be
required for the Project. /E assumes that two rounds of comments will need to be addressed
following the Caltrans review. /E's draft report will be submitted electronically in MS Word format
for ease of review; our final report will be submitted electronically as a PDF file. After Caltrans has
approved the report, /E will submit the final reports to the South Coastal Information Center.
- Assumptions: An updated records search will not be required because the previous APE falls
within the previous records search buffer. An updated Section 106 consultation process is also
not needed; only informal consultation with the Tribes is recommended.

3.2 NEPA Categorical Exclusion
A NEPA Revalidation form will be prepared and processed with Caltrans for the results of the technical
studies and changes to the design. It is assumed a new Categorical Exclusion (CE) is not required, but
the Environmental Commitments Record (ECR) may require updates. One round of minimal revisions
from Caltrans comments in included.
Deliverables: Draft and Final NESMI, Jurisdictional Delineation, HPSR package, and NEPA
Revalidation form (with necessary attachments).
Task 4 - Revised Street Improvement Plans
4.1 Bike Path Improvement Plans
We will revise the bike path alignment from the south to the north side of Dillon Road. The new
alignment will start at the northeast corner of Dillon Road and Cabazon Road intersection, continue
north between the pavement edge and drainage channel, cross the channel from south to north, and
then proceed east between the existing swale and billboards, connecting to CV Link at the Coachella
Valley Stormwater Channel.
The plan view will show existing utilities, right-of-way, easements, and roadway features.
a. Update Demolition Plans: Clearly label existing surface improvements to be removed with
construction notes. Provide limits of demolition by stationing or offset from the street centerline.
Include existing right-of-way and utilities and note warnings for contractors about utilities within
demolition areas.
b. Update Improvement Plans: Show existing surface improvements and features in a half -tone or
dashed format to distinguish them from new improvements. New improvements, including the bike
path, retaining wall, curbs, and drainage facilities, along with all adjustments, relocations,
reconstructions, or modifications, should be highlighted with appropriate construction notes, detailed
references, or standard plan references.
Deliverables: Revised 65%, 90%, 100% and Final Street Improvement Plan Sheets for this segment
Task 5 - Revised Traffic Signal & Signing/ Marking
CRA will implement updates to the traffic signal and signing/marking sheets to accommodate the Arts
and Music Line bike path along Dillon Road within the Twenty -Nine Palms tribal lands. The proposed
changes are necessary to reflect the realignment of the bike path from the south side to the north side
of Dillon Road. CRA will update the traffic signal and signing/stripping plans for Dillon Road between
Station 21+00 and Station 56+50 accordingly.
Assumptions
- It is assumed that the design effort for the traffic signal plans will require additional utility review or
possible potholing coordination for the placement of new poles along the north side of Dillon
Rd/Cabazon Ave intersection.

location of the electrical system and lighting controls, modify panel schedules as required, details and
fixture schedules as well as drafting services and coordination.
b. Additional coordination with team for revisions of electrical meter pedestal and lighting control
cabinet locations. Two (2) new meter pedestal and control cabinet locations anticipated.
Deliverables: Revised 65%, 95%, 100% and Final Lighting and Electrical Plan Sheets
Task 7 - Artist Services
The artist will collaborate with the electrical engineer to provide the necessary coordination and design
for the lighting features along the north side path alignment. This includes revisions to the artistic "Light
Field" concept, as well as the in -grade linear LED marker lights ("Star Path") and solar marker lights.
The design will be coordinated with CVAG before being finalized with the electrical engineer.
Task 8 - Structural Plans
CNS Engineers (CNS) will prepare Plans, Specifications and Estimate (Final Design PS&E) per Caltrans
Standards for a retaining wall at the northeast corner of Dillion Road and Cabazon Road/48th Street
intersection beside a drainage swale to accommodate the Arts and Music Line Bike Path along the
north side of Dillon Road. The trail will be extended from Cabazon Road/48th Street to Coachella
Page 6
CVAG'S ARTS & MUSIC LINE CONTRACT AMENDMENT #5 (CVAG-19-099) - DILLON ROAD BIKE PATH ALIGNMENT
ALTERNATIVES AND ADDITIONAL DESIGN EFFORT
Valley Stormwater Channel. The retaining wall is estimated to be 120 feet long. The proposed retaining
wall is placed on the southerly side of a drainage swale to retain the bike path. The retaining wall
foundation will be protected from scour/erosion by utilizing a proper scour countermeasure that will
be designed by WEBB.
The structural design and plan preparation for the retaining wall will be based on Caltrans-amended
AASHTO LRFD bridge design specifications, various Caltrans structural design and detail manuals. It
is envisioned that a modified Caltrans Type 5 Retaining Wall will be used, and the Caltrans Standard
Plans and details will be referenced to the maximum extent possible without structural calculations.
The following assumptions are made:
There will be no complex project -specific aesthetic treatments on the face of the retaining wall
and parapet wall other than a standard fractured rib texture (if desired) to control graffiti.
The retaining wall can be supported by a conventional spread footing, and there is no seismic
liquefaction that requires nonstandard deep foundation or ground improvements.
Submittals of 65% Design Plans and Cost Estimates, 95% PS&E, and Final Camera -Ready PS&E
are proposed. We will provide response to agencies' review comments for the submittals. CNS will
use Microsoft Word to prepare and edit Caltrans 2024 Standard Special Provisions (SSP) for
structural work at 95% and Final PS&E. We will prepare a list of Caltrans standard pay items for the
wall construction. Design quantity calculations will be performed using standard Caltrans forms and
marginal cost estimate summary sheets. Item unit prices shall be adjusted using Contract Cost Data
published by Caltrans.
It is expected that the plans will be prepared in AutoCAD and PDF. Specification documents,
including technical specifications, shall be provided in electronic Microsoft Word format as well as
in PDF. The Engineer's estimate shall be provided in Microsoft Excel format as well as in PDF.
Deliverables: 65% Design Plans and Cost Estimates, 95% PS&E, and Final Camera -Ready PS&E,
Quantities and Construction Cost Estimates
Task 9 - Specification & Revised Cost Estimate
We will prepare a revised quantity breakdown and cost estimate for the proposed revisions along
Dillon Rd, which will be provided at the 65%, 90%, and 100% plan check stages. Additionally, final
specifications will be provided at the 90% and 100% plan check stages.
Deliverables: Revised Project Cost Estimate at 65%, 90%, and 100% stages, project specifications
Task 10 - Additional ROW Services
Additional ROW services are required due to changes resulting from the bike path redesign, which
impacts the tribal parcels. These changes involve new right-of-way requirements and the need for
updated appraisals, including the valuation of billboards, in compliance with 49 CFR and the
Caltrans Right -of -Way Manual. Additionally, the project has encountered extended delays due to
extensive negotiations with property owners regarding the language of necessary right-of-way
Page 7
CVAG'S ARTS & MUSIC LINE CONTRACT AMENDMENT #5 (CVAG-19-099) - DILLON ROAD BIKE PATH ALIGNMENT
ALTERNATIVES AND ADDITIONAL DESIGN EFFORT
documents and the extra coordination required to ensure the timely processing and signing of these
documents by CVAG.
This redesign necessitated a reevaluation of the property's value, requiring new appraisals to
accurately reflect the updated right-of-way acquisition. The redesign also involves the need for an
FF&E appraiser to address the impacted billboards. The FF&E appraiser will utilize the Caltrans
poster panel payment schedules for the billboard valuation. As part of this process, the additional
coordination efforts required to secure the appraisals have taken longer than initially anticipated,
further extending the timeline for this phase of the project.
Throughout the negotiation phase, there has been a significant amount of back -and -forth between
Monument, the property owners and CVAG to finalize the language of the right-of-way contracts
and easement documents. These negotiations were more complex than originally expected, leading
to additional time spent revising, clarifying, and approving the final documentation. This process
required close collaboration and frequent communication with the property owners, as well as legal
review to ensure that all parties were satisfied with the terms and that the documents complied with
all necessary legal requirements.
Task 11 - Ave 49 Additional Street Improvements Services
11.1 Ave 49 (Violet St- Braley Ct) Roadway Widening and sidewalk improvements
The project proposes a bike path on the north side of Avenue 49 from Hjorth Street to Braley Court.
The bike path will cross at Braley Court with the installation of HAWK signals. Avenue 49 is improved
with sidewalks between Hjorth Street and Violet Street, but only partially improved with no sidewalks
from Violet Street to Braley Court. The project should widen the roadway and add sidewalks on the
south side between Violet Street and Braley Court to ensure pedestrian connectivity. Demolition and
improvement plans will be updated accordingly.
Deliverables: Revised 100% and Final Street Improvement Plan Sheets for this segment.
Task 12 - Street Lighting Design - Ave 48 (Monroe St - Arabia St)
Provide lighting design and electrical engineering for the installation of public street lights within the
median along Ave 48 between Monroe St., and Arabia St. Designs shall illuminate both Ave. 48 and
Solano Ave. Revise Arts and Music Line plans and include all electrical circuitry, plan notes, installation
details, schedules, and photometric studies adhering to City of Indio standards for an LS-3 metered
system.
a. Coordination for as -built drawings.
b. Coordinate with civil and landscape architects for conflict resolution.
c. Coordinate IID service points for installation of LS-3 electrical meter pedestal with Utility Consultant.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
CVAG coordinated with the cities of La Quinta, Coachella, Indio, and Riverside County to
develop the 10-mile project. The Arts and Music Line is a community connector to the CV
Link that's located primarily along Avenue 48 between Highway 86 and Washington
Street as depicted in the project map included as Attachment 1. The eastern end will
extend along Dillon Road to the Spotlight 29 Casino. The western end will extend
southward along Washington Street and then further west and south along Eisenhower
Drive, connecting to the Bear Creek Trailhead at the western terminus of Calle Tampico.
The project's design will incorporate both light and sound and provide pedestrians and
cyclists with safe access to the music and art festivals at the Empire Polo Grounds.
Partnerships with two school districts and Golden Voice provides an opportunity to feature
students' art and music along the route.
In March 2020, the City executed a reimbursement agreement with CVAG and the cities
of Indio and Coachella for the design of the project. The Avenue 48 Arts and Music Line
is a priority identified in CVAG's Transportation Project Prioritization Study (TPPS) and
was therefore eligible for regional transportation funding. By designing this project, CVAG
was able to secure a $36.483M ATP grant for construction.
Amendment No. 1, executed February 2022, revised the cost share after a portion of the
La Quinta improvements was removed to improve the chances of receiving ATP grant
funding.

Amendment No. 2, executed December 2022, included additional design costs.
Amendment No. 3, executed December 2023, extended the term of the Agreement
through December 31, 2025, incorporated the costs associated with pre -construction and
construction management services per CVAG's agreements with Anser Advisory
Management, LLC and T.Y. Lin International, and added non -infrastructure services per
CVAG's agreement with Chen Ryan Associates.
Amendment No. 4, executed April 2024, included additional design services and costs.
Proposed Amendment No. 5 (Attachment 2) extends the term of the Agreement through
December 31, 2029, authorizes additional project design services in accordance with the
enclosed Albert A. Webb Associates letter, dated April 17, 2025, and increases the total
local share to a not -to -exceed amount of $2,128,091.
