DISCUSSION The Flower Street Bike Trail is being constructed with Department of Transportation Bicycle Transportation Account Grant (BTA) funds. The grant requires that the City complete the project and submit final invoicing to the State by April 2010. The project is currently under construction and is scheduled to be completed by mid-February 2010. Because the completion date of the project is close to the April 2010 deadline, the Department of Transportation is requesting the city submit a Cooperative Work Agreement (CWA) Extension as insurance, in the event the project is delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. The agreement will also identify a Scope of Work change to reduce the improvement area due to funding limitations. The City has applied for competitive grant funding to complete the bike trail connection. The Bristol Street Widening Project is funded through a number of grant funds including a $971,000 Federal fund from National Corridor Planning and Development Program (NCDP). The grant requires the funds to be expended by June 30, 2010 or an extension must be filed by the City. The City used some of the NCPD funding to pay for right-of-way acquisition for the segment between Pine & Third Streets. The remainder of the funds will be used for the intersection of Seventeenth and Bristol Streets. The Department of Transportation is requesting that the City execute a Cooperative Work Agreement Extension to ensure all funding is protected in the event the project goes beyond the deadline of June 30, 2010. 25E-1 Cooperative Work Agreement Extension January 4, 2010 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. ~L{.~ Raul Godinez Gerardo Mouet Executive Directo Executive Director Public Works Agency Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency I 25E-2
