Located at 1000 East Santa Ana Boulevard, SARTC serves as a hub for various transportation services, including Amtrak intercity rail service, Metrolink commuter rail service, and several local and regional bus services (i.e. Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Greyhound, and other bus services). The Spanish and Mediterranean Revival architectural style of the SARTC features ceramic red barrel roof tiles, stucco-style walls, and extensive use of painted tiles for decoration. Many features are original to the facility. On August 31, 2023, the City submitted two grant applications to the Clean California Local Grant Program. The latest initiative provides funding to cities and local agencies to clean and revitalize public places, including transit centers. On October 9, 2023, the State of California announced that grant applications for the following SARTC projects were awarded funding. The grant does not require matching funds. •SARTC Painting and Wrought Iron Fencing Project - $1,475,000 The existing exterior paint of the SARTC has faded and chipped, leaving the facility appearance neglected and outdated. The existing wrought iron fence is worn out with significant rust requiring removal and/or replacement. The proposed project to repaint the exterior of the SARTC and repair the wrought iron fencing aims to provide an appealing and pleasing commuting environment for the community and overall region. This entails the removal of existing wrought iron fencing and installation of new perimeter fencing (Exhibit 1). •SARTC Outdoor Water Fountain Renovation Project - $500,000 As the main art installation of the SARTC’s entrance, the outdoor water fountain intends to enhance the commuter experience by providing a tranquil environment. The water fountain has been inoperable for over five years and requires updates including repainting and cleaning and replacing of filtration equipment. After careful inspection and consideration, it was concluded that the water fountain, including everything in the fountain operation needs replacement. The design includes removing the existing outdoor water fountain and replacing it with a new fountain, including plumbing, pump, and electrical components (Exhibit 2) As a component of the grant award process, resolutions authorizing the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency to execute Restricted Grant Agreements (RGA) for both projects are required.
