Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center Fountain Renovation <br />August 6, 2024 <br />Page 2 <br />services, including Amtrak intercity rail service, Metrolink commuter rail service, and <br />several local and regional bus services (i.e. Orange County Transportation Authority <br />(OCTA), Greyhound, and other bus services). The Spanish and Mediterranean Revival <br />architectural style of SARTC features ceramic red barrel roof tiles, stucco -style walls, <br />and extensive use of painted tiles for decoration. Many features are original to the <br />facility. <br />The Public Works Agency (PWA) submitted a successful grant application for funding to <br />the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Clean California Local Grants <br />Program to revitalize the SARTC. On December 5, 2023, the City Council adopted <br />Resolution 2023-091, which authorized the Executive Director of the Public Works <br />Agency to execute agreements with Caltrans for the SARTC Fountain Renovation <br />project. <br />The scope of work for this fountain renovation project includes the removal and <br />replacement of the existing nonfunctioning water fountain at the SARTC main entrance. <br />The existing fountain is broken beyond repair and does not work due to the fountain's <br />plumbing and hardware being broken and rundown. Due to these factors, the fountain <br />will be removed and replaced with an aesthetically similar fountain (Exhibit 2). This <br />project will help to beautify the main entrance of the train station and improve the overall <br />transit experience. SARTC improvements along with the future OC Streetcar will <br />activate helping to deter crimes and illegal activities. <br />Public Outreach and Contractor Participation <br />To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of <br />1,877 regional vendors via PlanetBids, several of which are Santa Ana based.
