FILE NUMBER
Direct the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute the
attached Cooperative Agreement with the California Department of
Transportation for State Route 55 (SR-55)/MacArthur Boulevard on-ramps
widening project.
DISCUSSION
In August 2005, the City approved the Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
for the MacArthur Place South Project. As part of the traffic mitigation
for this project, the widening of on-ramps at SR-55/MacArthur Boulevard
interchange is needed (Exhibit 1). In August 2007, the City entered into
a professional service agreement with Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan
Inc. (PBS&J) to provide engineering services for the SR-55/MacArthur
Blvd. On-Ramps Widening Project.
Since the SR-55/MacArthur Boulevard On-Ramps Widening Project is within
State right-of-way, the City has to enter into a Cooperative Agreement
with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to define the
specific roles and responsibilities of both parties. The agreement
identifies the City as the lead agency for this project. The project is
funded through Measure M, Regional Interchange Program, and
Transportation System Improvement Area E.
Based on the preliminary project schedule, the design phase is
anticipated to be completed in February 2009 and construction is expected
to be completed by the end of 2010.

PROJECT, all legal costs associated with those said legal challenges shall be a
PROJECT cost.

contamination of a HM-2 category found within and outside the existing State

Agreement, any hazardous material or contamination of HM-2 .category is defined as
that level or type of contamination which said regulatory control agencies would have
allowed to remain in place if undisturbed or otherwise protected in place had
PROJECT not proceeded. Costs for any required remedy or remedial action shall be
addressed in the cooperative agreement for construction of PROJECT.
18. If hazardous material or contamination of either HM-1 or HM-2 category is found on
new right of way to be acquired by or account of CITY for PROJECT, CITY, shall be
responsible, at CITY's expense, for all required remedy or remedial action and/or
protection in the absence of a generator or prior property owner willing and prepared
to perform that corrective work.
19. Remedial actions proposed by CITY on SHS right of way shall be pre-approved by
STATE and shall be performed in accordance with STATE's standards and practices
and-standards and practices mandated by those Federal and State regulatory agencies.
