Confirmed meeting agenda via Hall and Foreman with KB Homes/Lewis Homes to discuss construction staging on Summit Ave., R/W acquisition, storm drain coordination and section of intermediate paving vs ultimate paving on south side. Waiting for minutes from H & F. ' Thursday, Jan 10 Worked 2.5 hrs at Rick Engineering Tuesday on phone& FAX with Josephine Aliso at David Evans laying out scope of services for environmental. Also with Todd Schmieder at H & F over agenda for PDT meeting coming Thursday, R/W easements, and review of master schedule by PB on Summit Ave. Met with Summit Ave developers who seemed willing to hold back on Summit Ave. conditioned paving and pay equivalent costs to City so paving could be done with City project. This could also include south side between Citrus and Lytle Creek due to need for utility work before permanent paving. Waiting for minutes and will need follow up for confirmation of dollar amount to be transferred. Call for bids by developer already out and expected in about 10 days. PDT meeting held including Kim Reed @ BB & K for update on R/W acquisition. Bottom line is 19 of 20 parcels approved for condemnation in possession with only Parcel 15, Stephen Brenot(?) not cleared. Need R/W easement descriptions from H & F so Delia Mejia can start contacts for some 14 parcels. Also, Felipe needs legal descriptions for three parcels between Sierra and Mango to have intermediate business person get signatures.

Touched base with Kim Reed of BB&K to attend PDT meeting of Jan 10 @ 4:PM to bring us up to date on R/W acquisition of 20 parcels approved for condemnation by City Council Oct.16, 2001. She stated Ok if she can attend cause optimistic about numerous settlements by then. However, has jury duty on Tues. Jan 8 and may get stuck on court case. F& H says hope to have composite R/W map showing all 20 condemnation parcels plus the 14 or so City needs to acquire for City part of Summit Ave. project by Jan 10. We also have need to get spin off R/W i.e., parcels on S/E and N/E corner Sierra @ Summits where we need R/W from both sides of corners. Several others too. H & F tracking these needs. Could be part of extra work task for legal descriptions.

What does utility codes for ss4, w10, w24 mean? We will most certainly invite you to meetings once we get a selected consultant aboard working on the Ivy St bridge. You should be able to help us a lot. Ben M. ----Original Message From: Thomas, Steve [mailto:SCTHOMAS@co.riverside.ca.us] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 7:15 AM To: 'bminamide@rickeng.com' Subject: DRAFT RFP- IVY STREET BRIDGE Hi Ben, Your draft RFP looks great to me. My only suggestion (which has no bearing really on the proposal) is that you change the overall length of the Corps project from 12 to 7 miles. the channelization will end just upstream of Tenaja. Utilities are going to be a problem at Ivy. We've identified an ss4, w10, w24, and telephone conduit at that location. Hopefully, the City can order their relocations through franchise agreements they have with the utility companies. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments, and I look forward to working with you on this one Ben. Please feel free to drag me into any meetings, as I like to try to keep up on things.
