Schedule Update!

The initial construction schedule projected completion by January 2022. During construction, the contractor encountered 14 septic tanks and cesspools not previously known. In addition, the contractor has encountered various existing private utilities in conflict with the planned construction, which has to be adjusted. These unknown conflicts have contributed to delays in the construction schedule.

In addition, the team has coordinated with the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) and Southern California Edison (SCE) to install major upgrades to the drinking water and underground electrical systems. SCE will complete their work in early December 2021. CVWD began their work November 16 (night) in the east but has encountered supply chain issues, which has caused delayed completion of their work. At this time, CVWD is not able to provide a schedule for completion due to supply chain issues.

The project team is working on paving options for the east parking and the southern portion of the west parking lot in late December followed by the west parking lot.

Following the paving, work will continue with the remaining construction items, including landscaping, carports, trash enclosures, lighting, and final elements of the project until the project completion planned for February.

The project team thanks you for your continued support as we continue to improve the parking lots.
