SARTC Beautification Projects <br />February 20, 2023 <br />Page 2 <br />The existing exterior paint of the SARTC has faded and chipped, leaving the <br />facility looking neglected and outdated. The existing dilapidated wrought iron <br />fence is also worn out and has significant rust that requires removal and/or <br />replacement. The proposed project to repaint the exterior of the SARTC and <br />repair the wrought iron fencing aims to provide an appealing and pleasing <br />commuting environment for the community and overall region. This entails the <br />removal of existing wrought iron fencing and installation of new perimeter <br />fencing. <br />SARTC Outdoor Water Fountain Renovation Project <br />As the main decorative art installation of the SARTC's entrance, the outdoor <br />water fountain intends to enhance the commuter experience by providing an <br />aesthetically pleasing and tranquil environment. The water fountain has been <br />inoperable for over 5 years, is chipping in many locations, has algae build-up, <br />and does not have running water or power. After careful inspection and <br />consideration, staff concluded that the water fountain, including everything that <br />fed into or out of the fountain, needs replacement. The design includes removing <br />the existing outdoor water fountain and replacing it with a new fountain, including <br />plumbing, pump, and electrical components. <br />Both projects are anticipated to be completed by December 31, 2024. To ensure the <br />timely delivery of these projects, staff recommends approving the appropriation <br />adjustments recognizing the grant funding. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Approval of the requested Appropriation Adjustments will recognize California <br />Department of Transportation, Clean California Local Grant Program grant funds <br />totaling $1,975,000 into the PWA-SARTC Operations, State Grant -Direct revenue <br />account (No. 06717002-52025), and appropriate $1,475,000 into the PWA-SARTC <br />Operations, Buildings & Building Improvements expenditure account (No. 06717650- <br />66200) and $500,000 into the PWA-SARTC Operations, Improvements Other Than <br />Buildings expenditure account (No. 06717650-66220). <br />The following table summarizes the funds budgeted in FY 2023-24 and available for <br />expenditure to deliver these projects. <br />Accounting Fund Accounting Unit, <br />Fiscal Unit - Account No. Amount <br />Year Account No. Description Description <br />Appropriation Adjustment <br />06717650- Regional PWA-SARTC <br />2023-24 66200 Transp Center Operations, Buildings & $1,475,000 <br />Building Improvements <br />
