SUBJECT: Scripps Poway Parkway East End Project Funding Status Report
BACKGROUND
In February 1994, the City Council certified the EIR for the Scripps Poway
Parkway from Stowe Drive to SR67 which included the construction of the
Parkway to six lanes. On May 17, I994, the City Council amended the project
by phasing the construction east of Sycamore Canyon Road. Council adopted a
plan to purchase the right-of-way for six lanes from Sycamore Canyon Road to
SR67, construct a 4-lane alternate for Phase I, construct a bridge over
Sycamore Canon Road, and eliminate a connection from the Parkway to Sycamore
Canyon Road. With this modification, the County of San Diego approved a
General Plan Amendment for the Parkway in July of 1994.
At that time, the estimated budget for the project was $30.4 million from
Sycamore Canyon Road to SR67. The section of Parkway from Stowe Drive to
Sycamore Canyon Road was to be constructed as a Condition of Approval for the
Parkway Business Centre project. The Parkway Business Centre was required to
grade the road to six lanes and pave half the roadway east of their eastern
property line to Sycamore Canyon Road.
Project Costs:
The final design for the Parkway is now 80% complete and the City's
consultants have prepared cost estimates for both sections of the roadway
(Attachment 1). As shown in Attachment 2, the total project cost is
$41,841,000. The costs east of Sycamore Canyon Road are $28.9 million and
west of Sycamore Canyon Road are $12.9 million. Parkway Business Centre's
share of the project costs west of Sycamore Canyon Road are just over $11

million. Based on the current status of the Parkway Business Centre project,
and the timing of the construction of the remaining section of roadway, the
City will proceed with funding and constructing the improvements. The City
must secure additional funding to balance the budget.
Before determining needed revenues, staff and our design engineers sought cost
reduction measures to reduce the overall project costs. Staff is proposing
nine reduction measures which are listed in Attachment 3.
Staff has suggested cost saving measures which will reduce the total
project cost by $2,111,000, reducing the total project cost to $39,730,000.
Project Funding:
The City Council and the Redevelopment Agency have budgeted $30.4 million as
of July 1, 1994. Based on all current approved funding, and an estimated
increase in SB300 funding due to an increased eligible project by Caltrans,
available funding is now estimated at $32,366,000. With the revised project
costs, including cost reductions, the total project is now estimated at
$39,730,000. Based on estimated available funding of $32,366,000, the deficit
in project funding is $7,364,000 (Attachment 4).
_. To secure funding to complete the project, staff proposes obtaining revenue
from the following sources:
Unpledged Scripps Poway Parkway West End $1,200 000
STP/Transnet Transfer $ 500 000
Ted Williams Pkwy. Balance Transfer $ 320 000
Rolling Hills (Trident)Transportation Reimbursement $1,600 000
Street Improvement Funds (Traffic Mitigation) $ 244.000
Construction Interest $ 500 000
Poway Creek Detention Basin Transfer $3,000 000
With a combination of cost-cutting measures Implemented during the design and
construction management and additional funding sources, the Scripps Poway
Parkway East End project would have a balanced budget.
FINDINGS
The estimated total project cost for the Scripps Poway Parkway from Stowe
Drive to Sycamore Canyon Road with cost reduction measures is $39,730,000.
Approximately $11,000,000 of construction responsibility by the Parkway
Business Centre will not be completed. Current approved project funding is
estimated to be $32,366,000. The project deficit is $7,364,000. Staff
recommends implementing the nine cost reduction measures itemized in this
report. Further, staff recommends providing additional revenue as detailed in
Attachment 4 in order to balance project costs with project funding.
