TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding, including subsequent amendments, with the City of Signal Hill, for administration and cost-sharing of the street improvements on East Spring Street from Atlantic Avenue to Junipero Avenue, contained within City of Long Beach jurisdiction, in the amount of $502,000.

Signal Hill’s street improvement project has an approximate cost of $3,000,000. The tasks associated with the City of Long Beach (City) portions of the roadway are estimated to cost an additional $502,000. Entering into an MOU with Signal Hill and combining similar types of work associated with both jurisdiction’s scopes of street improvements achieves economies of scale and reduces overall construction management and project soft costs for the City.

The rehabilitation work consists of roadway improvements on East Spring Street, which include concrete work, pavement rehabilitation, countdown pedestrian signals, streetlights, and construction of a Class II bikeway. The Class II bikeway will be separated from vehicular traffic for connectivity to local Long Beach activity centers as included in the City’s approved Bicycle Master Plan. The City of Long Beach will share the cost of construction in an amount not to exceed $502,000, as calculated based on the proposed improvements to be completed within the City.
