Background:
Capital Improvement Program Project # 53113 is Phase 2 of a larger plan to add High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes to U.S. Highway 50 from El Dorado Hills to Shingle Springs. The project is being developed jointly by the County and Caltrans and includes construction of HOV lanes in the median of U.S. 50 from west of Bass Lake Road to Ponderosa Road. The total project cost, including Engineering, Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E), Right of Way (ROW), Construction, and Construction Management, is estimated at $54,750,000.
On February 13, 2007, the Board ratified a Letter-of-Intent sent to Caltrans allowing work to begin on the process of building HOV lanes on U.S. Highway 50 from Bass Lake Road to the Ponderosa Road. This Agreement provides for payment of invoices associated with that work within thirty (30) days of payment to County by Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians per the Tribal Agreement, and thereafter pays Caltran's monthly invoices for current actual work costs. The first payment was made by the Tribe in December 2009 and it has taken until now to complete the COOP.
