REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />MARCH 15, 2016 <br />TITLE: <br />CHANGE IN SCOPE OF WORK FOR SARTC <br />SURPLUS FUND ALLOCATION <br />{SURPLUS ALLOCATION FUNDING) <br />{STRATEGIC PLAN NO, 6, 1C} <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />© As Recommended <br />As Amended <br />Ordinance on 1 "Reading <br />Ordinance on 2 "Reading <br />Implementing Resolutlon <br />177 Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Approve changes in the scope of work for the $650,000 Santa Ana Regional Transportation <br />Center Fiscal Year 2014 -15 Surplus Allocation Plan apportionment from heating, ventilation, and <br />air conditioning system replacement to general priority deferred maintenance projects. <br />DISCUSSION <br />At the October 20, 2015 Council Meeting, the Fiscal Year 2014 -15 Surplus Allocation Plan was <br />reviewed and approved for a combination of projects totaling $11,250,000. Included in that total <br />is a $650,000 allocation for replacement of the aging heating, ventilation, and air conditioning <br />(HVAC) system at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC). However, staff is <br />requesting to change the scope of work for the $650,000 Surplus Allocation Plan apportionment <br />from HVAC system replacement to SARTC general deferred maintenance projects. These <br />deferred maintenance projects include parking lot improvements and resurfacing, building <br />maintenance projects, and completion of a facility assessment and strategic plan for continued <br />SARTC revitalization efforts. This scope of work change would allow for any structural <br />modifications to be incorporated during HVAC system replacement, which will be completed with <br />subsequent SARTC deferred maintenance funding. <br />The SARTC is a transit hub that offers Amtrak, Metrolink, Orange County Transportation <br />Authority, and other bus and taxi services, with nearly 3,000 commuters passing through each <br />day. It is also home to State and County social service providers, the City's WORK Center, and <br />several commercial businesses. The SARTC is a gateway to the City and will be a start /end point <br />for the fixed guideway. The facility is in need of major building system improvements (Exhibit 1). <br />Day -to -day operations at the facility are funded solely from lease income. However, there is <br />8,000 square feet of vacant ground floor retail space, which includes a 5,200- square -foot suite <br />that has not housed a long -term tenant since 2008. General deferred maintenance projects <br />would prepare the SARTC for the next phase of revitalization, which includes engaging <br />60A -1 <br />
