OCTA has been the lead agency on this project in which costs are <br />being shared at 88 percent for OCTA and 12 percent for the City. <br />The safety enhancements were completed in 2011. However, OCTA and their contractor had <br />various contractual items that required some time to resolve, such that the prior agreements have <br />expired. To properly close out the project and enable the City to make the final payment on the <br />remaining invoice of $206,208.53, a new cooperative agreement is required. This new <br />Cooperative Agreement No C -5 -3312 (Exhibit 1) stipulates the terms, conditions, and <br />responsibilities for payment of funds for work already completed. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 Community Facilities & <br />Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City <br />assets), Strategy G (develop and implement the City's Capital Improvement Program in <br />coordination with the Community Investment and Deferred Maintenance Plans). <br />25D -1 <br />
