Issue
ISSUE

In response to the June 2014 Board motion (Attachment C), the Los Angeles River Bike Path Gap Closure Feasibility Study was completed and presented to the Metro Board in 2016. The Study found that the Project is feasible and would help serve the transportation needs of communities neighboring the Project Area (Attachment D) as well as provide a regionally significant active transportation corridor.

To deliver the Project and create a continuous 32-mile grade-separated Class I bikeway, staff recommends awarding Contract No. AE47795000 with CH2M Hill, Inc. for $45,891,279. Because unforeseen circumstances may arise as the project develops, but are not known at this conceptual stage, staff recommends 15% CMA. Executing an MOU with LACDPW will allow Metro to define final project delivery responsibilities as Metro advances the project through environmental clearance and design.
