AUTHORIZING CITY STAFF TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT OF FUNDS
SUMMARY
As part of the City's Fiscal Year 2011 -12 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council
approved a project titled, "Garvey Avenue/Walnut Grove Avenue Highway Safety
Improvement Program'. The program involves traffic safety and traffic calming
enhancements along Garvey Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue. The bulk of this project
is funded through the State of California Highway Safety Improvement Program, with a
total approved grant of $339,500.
The project design is currently in the review stage with the State of California Department
of Transportation ( Caltrans). Following design approval from Caltrans, it is anticipated that
construction will get underway in early 2013. Improvements will include the installation of
traffic signal enhancements, the extension of raised medians on Garvey Avenue, signage,
striping, and pedestrian enhancements. Recently, Caltrans informed the City that a
supplement agreement must be approved prior to receiving grant reimbursements.
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2012 -65 authorizing the
City Manager, or his designee, to execute an agreement with the State of California,
Program Supplement Agreement No. 008 -N to Administering Agency -State Master
Agreement for State Funded Projects No. 07- 5358R, for the reimbursements of $339,500.
DISCUSSION
The State of California Department of Transportation ( Caltrans) now requires that a
supplement agreement to an already existing Master Agreement between the City and the
State by executed for individual grant funded projects. In addition, a resolution is also
required before incurred project costs can be reimbursed by the State.
