CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions regarding Highway Bridge Program grant funding from the State
of California Department of Transportation:
(1) Accept additional grant funds awarded to the City of Redding for the Old Alturas Road
over Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project (Project); and
(2) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 87th Amendment to City Budget
Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating $4,462,400 for the Project.
Fiscal Impact
An additional $4,462,400 in Highway Bridge Program (HBP) grant funds has been allocated to
the City of Redding (City) for the Old Alturas Road over Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation
Project (Project). These additional grant funds will allow staff to complete the project design and
advertise for construction. Previously allocated HBP funds in the amount of $2,453,569 were
insufficient to complete the project.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to accept the additional grant funding. In this case,
the City would lose $4,462,400 in grant funding for the project and additional City funds would
need to be used to complete the project. Alternatively, the Council could choose not to proceed
with the project and the City would need to reimburse the State for costs incurred to date.
Background/Analysis
On August 5, 2015, the Council appropriated HBP funds in the amount of $2,253,569 to hire a
consultant to support staff in the preparation of design and construction documents for the
project. In addition, $200,000 was also appropriated for the initial request for proposal process
and project scoping. As the project has proceeded through the various stages of design,
environmental review, and right-of-way, the estimates and plans have become more refined and
detailed. Due to the presence of sensitive environmental resources, the additional time to analyze

the environmental constraints led to an increase in construction costs from what was originally
estimated. City staff submitted the required documentation to the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans), the agency that administers the HBP Program, to request additional
HBP funds to fully fund the project. Caltrans has programmed and approved the City’s request
for additional HBP funding in the amount of $4,462,400 which need to be allocated to the City’s
project budget. The total bridge project (including design, environmental, right-of-way, and
construction) is estimated to be approximately $7,586,000, with $6,715,886 funded by the HBP
program and the remaining $870,114 coming from Citywide Transportation Impact Fees.
In addition to the bridge rehabilitation, staff has prepared improvement drawings that will
complete the corridor improvements between Edgewood Drive (limits of the Old Alturas
Widening Project completed in 2015) westerly to the limits of the bridge project. Improvements
here include road widening, sidewalks, storm drain replacement, and water main replacement.
These improvements will be funded by a variety of sources, including the Water Utility, Storm
Drain Utility, and Streets Divisions, and are estimated to cost just under $900,000.
Construction for the bridge is anticipated to begin in Spring 2024; however, staff plans to
advertise the project in late Summer 2023 which will allow for some environmental preparation
and utility work within the roadway to start in Fall 2023.
Environmental Review
This action, accepting additional grant funding, is not a project as defined under the California
Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required. On December 6, 2016, the Council
adopted Resolution No. 2016-126 approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation
Monitoring Program, and approving the Old Alturas and Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation
Project.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals
This agenda item is a routine operational item.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO REDDING CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept $11,210,707 in federal funding from the Highway Bridge Program (HBP); and adopt a
resolution approving the 4th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2015-057 appropriating
12,376,456 ($11,210,707 in HBP grant funds and $1,165,749 in City Traffic Impact Fee (TIF)
match funds) for the rehabilitation (one bridge) and replacement (five bridges) of various bridges
throughout the City of Redding.
Background
On September 7, 2010, the City Council (Council) authorized staff to submit several applications
for federal funding for the rehabilitation or replacement of local bridge structures. Caltrans
accepted the City’s applications and programmed funding for each bridge in the Federal
Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). On March 6, 2012, Council accepted the HBP
funding to allow staff to begin preliminary engineering on these various bridges. At this time,
staff is continuing with the design phase of the bridges and will then move into right-of-way
acquisition and construction. Funding to be accepted and adopted by budget resolution is as
follows:
Sacramento Drive at Olney Creek - $2,213,000 (HBP)
Old Alturas at Churn Creek - $2,453,569 (HBP) and $317,886 (TIF)
Eastside Road at Canyon Hollow Creek - $1,355,394 (HBP) and $175,606 (TIF)
Girvan Road at Olney Creek - $2,239,809 (HBP) and $290,191 (TIF)
Westside Road at Canyon Hollow Creek - $1,270,406 (HBP) and $164,595 (TIF)

Re: 4.11(b)--Accept Federal Highway Bridge Program Funding Page 2
All but one of the bridge sites requires an 11.47 percent match with local funds, while the
remaining 88.53 percent is funded by the HBP. The Sacramento Drive at Olney Creek Bridge is
an off-system bridge which is also 88.5 HBP funding but the local match is picked up by the
State’s toll credit program.
Issue
Should Council accept Federal Highway Bridge Program funding for the design and construction
of various bridges in the City of Redding and adopt the attached budget resolution appropriating
11,210,707 in HBP grant funds and $1,165,749 in City TIF match funds?
Alternatives; Implication of Alternatives
The Council has the option of selecting one of the following alternatives:
1. Accept $11,210,707 in HBP funds and adopt the attached budget resolution appropriating
the $11,210,707 in HBP grant funds and $1,165,749 in City Traffic Impact Fee (TIF)
match funds. This will make additional funds available so that work may continue on
these various bridge projects. (Staff Recommendation)
2. Do not accept the HBP funds or adopt the budget resolution and provide alternate
direction to staff. This could delay the bridge rehabilitation or replacements and risk the
loss of $11,210,707 in HBP funds.
Fiscal Impact
The majority of the funding for these projects will come from the Federal HBP , with the
remaining funding coming from Traffic Impact Fees. The FTIP has programmed all necessary
funds for the various bridges, and the remaining TIF portion funding has been approved within
the current City budget.
Conclusion
Accepting the HBP funds and adopting the budget resolution will allow staff to continue working
on the design of these projects, which, when completed, will replace s everal old bridges that
have been designated as either "structurally deficient" or “functionally obsolete,” per Caltrans
Bridge Inspection Reports.

Negative Declaration
APPROVED BY***

Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring
Program, and approving the Old Alturas Road and Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project as
described, thereby satisfying the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
CEQA Guidelines §15074).
Background
The City of Redding Department of Public Works proposes to rehabilitate the existing four -span,
143 -foot -long by 28 -foot -wide reinforced concrete bridge over Churn Creek on Old Alturas
Road. Rehabilitation would include widening the bridge deck, pier walls, and abutments, and
widening the roadway on either side of the bridge. Approximately 88 percent of the project is
funded by the federal Highway Bridge Program.
The first order of work will be completion of two temporary access roads across the channel for
equipment and vehicles. The contractor may also create a temporary access pad beneath the
bridge to be used as a road/work platform. The pad and access roads would be made up of clean,
uncrushed, rounded river rock with no sharp edges; temporary culverts would divert any stream
flows through the site. All temporary work pads and stream crossings would be removed during
the winter months as approved by the various resource agencies.
Following completion of the access roads, the existing abutments would be extended to 67 feet.
The existing 1 -foot -wide pier walls would be extended to 66 feet, and ten 50 -foot -long,
30 -inch -diameter piles would be installed to provide support for the pier extensions. Rock slope
protection would be placed 21 feet upstream and downstream of the new pier walls and be placed
in a 15 -foot -wide zone around the abutments. Upon completion of work around the pier walls
and abutments, the bridge deck would be widened. The new concrete bridge deck would
measure 67 feet wide and would include a 14 -foot -wide center turn lane and two 12 -foot -wide
lanes, each with an 8 -foot -wide shoulder and a 6 -foot -wide sidewalk with a barrier. Pile driving
may be required for the placement of falsework piles and for the installation of sheet piles around
the pier walls and abutments for dewatering purposes and as temporary retaining walls. The
Report to Redding City Council November 29, 2016

Declaration Page 2
western and eastern approaches to the bridge would require ±600 and ±1,000 feet of road work,
respectively; this would include minor widening of the roadway near the bridge to match the
width of the new bridge deck. New storm drains and catch basins would be constructed to
adequately drain the improved roadway along the north side of both the east and west approach
roadways and along the south side of the east approach roadway. In addition, affected driveways
would be modified to conform with the new roadway.
Staged construction would be used to build the bridge while maintaining one lane of traffic in
each direction; periodic traffic control may be required during critical construction events. An
existing 12 -inch -diameter water line and a 4 -inch -diameter gas line would be relocated to the
new edge of deck, and electric utilities would be relocated to the edge of the right-of-way. The
project will require additional right-of-way to accommodate the new bridge and sewer line.
Temporary construction easements would also be required for construction access and staging.
Construction is planned for summer of 2018, with the goal of completing the project in one
construction season. Two construction seasons may be required, however, depending on how
early in the season construction begins, construction efficiency, coordination with utilities, and
other factors.
An Initial Study (IS) was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). It describes why the Project is being proposed and the potential impacts to
the existing environment. The IS shows that the proposed Project could have a significant effect
on biological and cultural resources, but with implementation of mitigation measures, those
impacts will be reduced to a level considered less than significant. Mitigation measures to be
implemented are common practices and include, but are not limited to biological preconstruction
surveys, impact minimization, construction monitoring, exclusionary fencing, erosion control,
on-site restoration, and off-site compensation.
Based on the conclusions made in the IS, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was
prepared. The MND describes the project, including mitigation measures, and makes the
determination that there will be no significant effect on the environment provided that the
defined mitigation measures are implemented as part of the project.
In addition, a Mitigation and Monitoring Program (MMP) has been written and incorporated into
the MND (CEQA Section 21081.6). The MMP will be used by City staff, contractors, agencies,
and monitoring personnel during and after the project to ensure effective implementation of the
adopted mitigation measures outlined in the MND.
The IS/MND/MMP documents were sent to the State Clearinghouse for a 30 day public review
period and distribution to pertinent state agencies. They were sent to local resource agencies and
the Shasta County Clerk, and posted on the Public Works Department website. A public notice
was also sent to landowners in the vicinity of the project and posted in the local newspaper. One
comment letter was received from the Department of Fish and Wildlife. A response to the
comment letter has been prepared and is attached to the final MND.
The City of Redding is the lead agency for the Project pursuant to CEQA. As the lead CEQA
agency, the City Council is authorized to adopt the MND per Redding Municipal Code Section
I8.24.070.E and state law. Upon adoption of the MND and approval of the project by the City
Council, a Notice of Determination will be filed with the Shasta County Clerk's Office and the
Report to Redding City Council November 29, 2016

State Clearinghouse, completing the environmental review process. The IS/MND is available in
the City Clerk's office for review.
Issue
Should the City Council adopt the attached resolution relative to the Old Alturas Road and Churn
Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project?
Alternatives; Implication of Alternatives
The City Council has the option of selecting one of the following alternatives:
1. Adopt the attached resolution, thereby adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring Program and approving the Project as described. With this action, the
Council will be in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA Guidelines § 15074). (Staff Recommendation)
2. Do not adopt the resolution and Mitigated Negative Declaration. Without approval of the
environmental document, the project would not proceed forward as a City project.
Fiscal Impact
Adoption of the resolution allows the project to move forward towards the construction phase.
There is no fiscal impact as a direct result of adopting the MND and MMP.
Conclusion
Adoption of the MND and approval of the Project are necessary for the project to proceed. The
environmental phase must be completed prior to the project moving forward towards
construction.
