Cooperative Agreements for Edinger Ave, Warner Ave and MacArthur Blvd Traffic Signal Synchronization Projects June 2, 2020 Page 2 In partnership with the City of Santa Ana and other neighboring agencies, the OC-CCIP includes three multi -jurisdictional traffic signal synchronization corridor projects that will provide traffic signal and intelligent transportation systems improvements in City of Santa Ana and synchronize traffic signals across jurisdictional boundaries to reduce traffic congestion. The three traffic signal synchronization corridor projects and corresponding participating agencies are: o Edinger Avenue Corridor, which traverses Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, Westminster, Huntington Beach and Caltrans jurisdictions (Exhibit 1). o Warner Avenue Corridor, which traverses Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach and Caltrans jurisdictions (Exhibit 1). o MacArthur Boulevard Corridor, which traverses Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach and Caltrans jurisdictions (Exhibit 1). In May 2018, the CTC adopted the SCCP program and allocated $19.918 million for the OC-CCIP projects for implementation by OCTA and other Orange County agencies. The approved OC-CCIP umbrella of projects includes $12 million for the three traffic signal synchronization corridor projects, for disbursement in Fiscal Year 2019-20. OCTA will be the lead agency for the three projects and Santa Ana and participating agencies will be responsible for providing matching funds. In January 2020, the OCTA Board approved the use of $2.4 million Measure M2 funds to leverage the $12 million SCCP Funds for the implementation of the three traffic signal synchronization corridor projects. While OCTA will act as lead agency for the projects, cooperative agreements (Exhibits 2- 4) are needed to formalize each agency's financial responsibility and identify the roles and responsibilities, including OCTA oversight to maintain inter -jurisdictional synchronization on the project during the four-year grant period. Upon completion of the grant period, responsibility for ongoing signal maintenance will revert to the respective local agencies. The combined SCCP and Measure M2 grant for the Edinger Ave project is $5,947,528. The required match by the participating cities is $247,472 of which the City of Santa Ana's share is $99,356. The combined SCCP and Measure M2 grant for the Warner Ave project is $4,910,549. The required match by the participating cities is $204,451 of which the City of Santa Ana's share is $83,277. The combined SCCP and Measure M2 grant for the MacArthur Blvd project is $3,540,924. The required match by the participating cities is $148,076 of which the City of Santa Ana's share of the matching funds is $77,438.
