<br />On May 5, 2020, the City Council authorized execution of three utility reimbursement
<br />agreements (Exhibits 5, 6, and 7) with OCTA for water relocation costs related to the SR-
<br />55 freeway widening project. The sum of the three utility agreements totals $6,600,000,
<br />with an allowable final billing of 125 percent, for a total estimated reimbursement of
<br />$8,250,000. On November 2, 2021, the City Council approved an appropriation
<br />adjustment to recognize $1,000,000 in reimbursement obligation funds. To account for
<br />the full 125 percent reimbursement allowable, the recommended action will recognize the
<br />remaining available balance. Therefore, staff recommends appropriating $7,250,000 of
<br />these reimbursement obligation funds from OCTA to complete the funding for
<br />construction of the SR-55/Ritchey Street Water Improvements Project.
<br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
<br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended actions
<br />are exempt from further review.
