TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute Program Supplement to Administering Agency - State Agreement No. 07-5108
(077), between the City of Long Beach and Caltrans, to formalize federal funding participation; and obtain reimbursement for the rehabilitation of the pavement on Carson Street between Bellflower Boulevard and the
I-605 Freeway. (District 5)
DISCUSSION
Carson Street between Bellflower Boulevard and the 1-605 Freeway is in need of pavement repair work. This pavement rehabilitation project is eligible for federal funding and is currently being designed. In order to obtain federal funding, an agreement
known as a program supplement needs to be executed by the administering agency (Caltrans) and the City of Long Beach.
Formerly, Caltrans issued the funding agreement prior to the award of a construction contract. Staff would request execution of the agreement at the time City Council awarded the construction contract. Caltrans has initiated a new procedure, which
requires the City to execute the funding agreement at the time the project design is authorized. Staff has received authorization from Caltrans to design the pavement repair work on Carson Street and is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
execute the funding agreement. In the future, when the City receives authorization from Caltrans to construct the project, a new funding agreement will not be necessary. The additional federal funds for construction and construction engineering will be added to the funding agreement at that time. This matter was reviewed by Senior Deputy City Attorney Donna F. Gwin on March 2, 2005, and Budget Management Officer David Wodynski on March 3, 2005. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption Number CEP 474-04 has been issued for this project.
