DISCUSSION The Orange County Transportation Authority's (OCTA's) Interstate 405 (1- 405)/State Route 55 (SR-55) Interchange Improvement Project was completed in October 2005. The Cities of Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and the majority of businesses in the area have requested replacement landscaping at two key interchanges to repair the conditions that deteriorated significantly during the four-year construction period. On June 27, 2005, the OCTA Board authorized the execution of a cooperative agreement with the cities of Costa Mesa and Santa Ana, in a not to exceed amount of $1,343,000. This funding was allocated for the design and installation of new landscaping at the 1-405/Bristol Street and SR-55/MacArthur Boulevard Interchanges. Santa Ana's share for the SR-55/MacArthur Boulevard Interchange was $805,800. On August 15, 2005, the City Council executed a cooperative agreement with OCTA stipulating that we agreed to manage our landscaping project and provide detailed monthly expenditure reports to aCTA. Further, we agreed to fund any additional cost over the original amount allocated, or reduce the scope of work to remain within the respective budget. A funding transfer for the $805,800 was also authorized through the cooperative agreement. At this time, execution of staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the a cooperative agreement with Caltrans in the amount of 25F-1 Cooperative Agreement With Caltrans February 6, 2006 Page 2 $805,800 to design and install landscaping at the SR-55/MaArthur Boulevard Interchange.
