RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute a cooperative agreement with State
of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in the amount of
$250,000 for the Santa Ana Depot Art Wall Project.
2. Approve an appropriation adjustment accepting Caltrans Division of
Rail Minor Capital Funds for the Santa Ana Depot Art Wall Project in
the amount of $250,000 into the Select Street Construction Fund
(account no. 59-01-5342-8) and appropriating funds to the Select
Street Construction Fund (account no. 59-551-6631) for the Santa Ana
Depot Art Wall Project.
DISCUSSION
In 1999, the City applied for and received Transportation Enhancement
Activities (TEA) funding for the Art Wall Project at the Depot (Project
1821). This project involves the construction of a concrete block wall
that will function as a backdrop on which art images can be displayed.
The wall will be approximately 500 feet long by 10 feet high and will be
constructed adjacent to the existing railroad tracks just east of the
Depot railroad platforms.
Due to coordination issues with Metrolink's Pedestrian Bridge Project and
ongoing litigation with the original contractor for this project, Brandt
Commercial Signs, the construction of the Art Wall has been delayed and
construction costs have escalated. Caltrans Division of Rail has
identified $250,000 in additional funding for the Art Wall Project. Staff
is requesting the appropriation adjustment to recognize these funds for
the project. Construction of this project will proceed with a new
contractor once the litigation with the original contractor is resolved.
