Resolution 2022-XXX <br />Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br />RESOLUTION 2022-XXX <br /> <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING A REQUEST FOR <br />ESCALATION ADJUSTMENT BY THE ORANGE COUNTY <br />TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY TO THE MEASURE M2 <br />ALLOCATION FOR THE BRISTOL STREET <br />IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) conducted the <br />2020 call for projects under the Measure M2 Regional Capacity Program (RCP); and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana received an M2 allocation (Measure M2 <br />Competitive ACE funds) in the amounts of $3,273,573 and $7,501,206 from OCTA to <br />fund the Bristol Street Improvements from Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue and <br />the Bristol Street Improvements from Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana committed to providing a minimum of 25% in <br />matching funds for the Bristol Street Improvements from Civic Center Drive to Washington <br />Avenue and the Bristol Street Improvements from Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place; <br />and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana established fiscal year 2020/21 as the program <br />year to commence the construction phase of the above projects; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana has experienced construction increased cost <br />due to material supply and labor inflation. Material cost and demand has seen a dramatic <br />increase that has been unprecedented. Many of the recent construction bids that are <br />being received are two times the amount of the engineer’s estimate and budget for the <br />City’s projects. This has made it extremely difficult to deliver and construct projects for <br />the community; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, OCTA approved a temporary policy change for eligible RCP and <br />RTSSP projects that were impacted by the extraordinary cost increases of inflation, which <br />would allow local agencies to request adjustments to eligible right-of-way and <br />construction allocations consistent with the Engineering News Record Construction Cost <br />Index, based on the actual 20-city average, for fiscal years 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022- <br />23; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the OCTA temporary policy change requires agencies to request <br />authorization from their governing bodies to apply for an escalation adjustment to the <br />original M2 allocation. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa <br />Ana as follows: <br />
