Thermal Yard Parking Shade Structure Improvements Project

The County of Riverside Transportation Department (County) is proposing to construct a parking shade structure at its Thermal Maintenance Yard in Thermal, Riverside County. The maintenance yard is located at 86199 Airport Boulevard, approximately 720 feet east of the intersection of Tyler Street and Higgins Drive. The proposed parking shade structure will involve a cantilever structure and will replace the existing pavement surface with reinforced concrete placement. All work will occur within previously disturbed or developed portions of the facility. Additional improvements include: • Removal of asphalt concrete pavement and construction of concrete pavement • Reconstruction of asphalt concrete pavement • Dewatering of ground water as needed • Stripping of parking stalls • Clearing and grubbing of any vegetation (including trees) • Utility potholing • Any additional work required to complete the activity, which may include minor construction-related tasks such as installing traffic control, implementing dust-prevention measures, compacting base and asphalt during reconstruction, performing inspector-directed miscellaneous work, or saw-cutting pavement. All improvements are proposed within the existing County right of way; therefore, no additional right of way or temporary construction easements or permits will be required to construct the proposed improvements.
