The Streets Program’s Bridge Projects section contains Capital Improvement Program projects that repair, replace, or
rehabilitate a deficient bridge structure as the primary scope of work.
Bridge structure safety falls under the guidance of state and federal regulations, and bridge projects are often driven by
available funding from these jurisdictions, such as Caltrans grant programs or the federal Highway Bridge Replacement and
Rehabilitation (HBRR) program. Los Gatos does not have a designated funding source for repairing, maintaining, and
improving the Town’s bridges, and relies upon grant programs for major bridge improvement projects.

Project Name Quito Road - Bridge Replacement Project Number 818-0801
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Town Engineer: Lisa Petersen
Description This project funds the Town’s portion of the replacement cost for two bridges on Quito Road to
improve roadway safety and provide adequate storm water flow capacity in the creek under the bridge.
Location The two Quito Road bridges span a tributary of San Tomas Aquino Creek. The bridges are located on
Quito Road in the vicinity of Old Adobe Road, approximately 1½ miles north of Highway 9, on the
common boundary line between the City of Saratoga and the Town of Los Gatos.
Project
Background
San Tomas Aquino Creek is under the jurisdiction of the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD),
while the replacement of the bridges is the shared responsibility of the City of Saratoga and the Town
of Los Gatos. Both bridges are approximately ninety years old and have been classified “structurally
deficient” under Caltrans guidelines. In addition, both bridges are not adequate to receive 100-year
flood flows.
In 2001, the City of Saratoga, the project sponsor, secured partial funding (80%) through the federal
Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR) program to replace both bridges with wider
span structures that will allow the 100-year design flood flow to pass underneath. Saratoga is the lead
agency to oversee the design, environmental, right-of-way acquisition, and construction services for
the project. The City of Saratoga, the Town of Los Gatos, and SCVWD agreed to share the duties and
responsibilities for the project and the remaining 20% local match funding requirement.
After further evaluation of the bridges, it was determined that Quito Road would require reconstruction
at each end of the bridge, which in turn requires additional right-of-way acquisitions and
environmental reviews under both the State of California (Caltrans) and federal regulations. These
changes have made it necessary to redesign this project, significantly increasing the estimated costs.
The City of Saratoga has applied for additional funding from Caltrans due to the redesign. As a result
of the additional project costs, the local funding match from the City of Saratoga, the Town of Los
Gatos, and the SCVWD has increased from $155,000 to $238,000 for each agency. Based on the April
2012 schedule from the City of Saratoga, the construction of these bridges is anticipated to be
completed by 2018.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Engineering staff time for coordination of this project with the City of Saratoga is incorporated into the
FY 2016/17 Operating Budget. Completion of this project will mitigate the potential costs of lawsuits
from bridge failure and pre-empt the cost of replacing the bridge in an emergency situation.
