Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
There is no Fiscal Impact associated with this agenda item. The Silva Valley Parkway Interchange (SVIC) is funded through the Traffic Impact Mitigation (TIM) Fee Program.
Background:
At the October 5, 2009, Board of Supervisors meeting in El Dorado Hills, the Department of Transportation (DOT) provided the Board with a brief update on the SVIC and promised to return with more information. DOT explained at that time that there was not enough money in the Silva Valley Set Aside account to design and build the 1st phase of SVIC, as the cost estimate was $67.1M for the various components including Country Club Drive, Silva Valley Parkway widening/realignment, and the Interchange (including the over-crossing but without loop ramps). Approximately $27 million has been accumulated in that account.
The Board directed DOT to:
• Refresh the environmental document;
• Continue to explore alternatives;
• Complete designs for the Interchange, Country Club Drive and Silva Valley Parkway;
• Review phasing of improvements to coincide with available funding;
• Work with private partners to minimize costs and accelerate delivery;
• Seek other funding to backfill the shortfall; and,
• Return to the Board with an update as part of the 2010 Capital Improvement Plan Workshop (or earlier).
History:
