Subject:
title
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-65 authorizing the Director of Public Works to request an escalation to a prior grant allocation from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for the Bolsa Chica Street / Valley View Street Corridor project
body
Statement of Issue:
In October 2019, the City of Huntington Beach in conjunction with the City of Westminster and the City of Garden Grove submitted an application to OCTA for a Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program project on Valley View Street / Bolsa Chica Street from Chapman Avenue in Garden Grove to Warner Avenue in Huntington Beach. This project is currently scheduled to commence in Fiscal Year 2022/2023. With the increase in construction costs in the period since the submittal of the grant application, OCTA has developed a process to request an augment to the grant allocation based on escalating construction costs. These requirements require that a request for the augmentation must be authorized by the City Council.
Financial Impact:
No funding is required for this action.
The City will be responsible for up to $400,000 as its share of the local matching funds. A separate City Council item will be required to approve the Cooperative Agreement with the Cites of Garden Grove and Westminster with a request for allocation of the City's share of the matching funds from the City's Air Quality Management District Fund.
Recommended Action:
