TOPIC: Westminster Avenue / 17th Street Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization
AGENDA TITLE
Authorize a Budget Reallocation in the Amount of $41,937 for the Grant-Funded
Westminster Avenue / 17th Street Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project (No. 16-
6869) (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize Reallocation of $31,306 in unspent Measure M2 Local Fairshare funds from the
Bristol St. Traffic Signal Synchronization Project (No. 15-6829) and $10,631 from the
Traffic Safety Project (No. 21-6905) for a total of $41,937 to fulfill the City matching funds
requirement for the Westminster Avenue / 17th Street Regional Traffic Signal
Synchronization Project (No. 16-6869).
DISCUSSION
On April 5, 2016, the City Council approved a cooperative agreement with the Orange
County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to implement a traffic signal synchronization
project on the Westminster Avenue / 17th Street corridor, with OCTA as the administrative
lead agency. The project has been completed and provides inter-jurisdictional traffic
signal synchronization and improvements along the corridor traversing Santa Ana and the
cities of Seal Beach, Westminster, Garden Grove, Tustin, and the County of Orange.
The cooperative agreement identifies the roles and responsibilities of OCTA and the
participating agencies, and all participants share the total estimated project cost of
$4,230,154. OCTA Measure M2 provides $3,525,128, and the participating agencies
provide a combined 20-percent match, which totals $705,026. Of that amount, Santa
Ana’s share was estimated to be $280,352. Funds from participating agencies are
payable to OCTA at the end of the project, and the amounts may be a combination of
cash and value for in-kind services.
Due to unforeseen construction issues including underground utility conflicts and
unanticipated utility coordination fees, participating agency’s cost share increased, and
the final City share is $303,181. The City has a credit for in-kind services in the amount
of $38,456, therefore the amount due to OCTA is $264,725.
