Adopt a resolution authorizing the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency to submit projects for funding consideration under the Measure M Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program. 2. Direct staff to amend the seven-year Capital Improvement Program to incorporate the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program projects list. DISCUSSION The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has issued a call for projects under the Measure M Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program for FY 11/12 through FY 13/14. Funding in the amount of $56 million is available countywide in three funding program areas. The programs designated for funding are: Arterial Capacity Enhancement (ACE), Intersection Capacity Enhancement (ICE), and Freeway Arterial/Streets Transition (FAST). The City of Santa Ana will be submitting four applications totaling $20.73 million in grant fund requests. The City will utilize existing and future local funds and federal grants to provide the required matching funds for the subject requested projects. Staff is requesting authorization for the following projects, listed by funding program and fiscal year(s): RECOMMENDED PROJECTS Bristol Street Widening: 3rd to Civic Center Bristol Street Widening: Civic Center to 17th Grand Avenue Widening: 1St to 4th Grand & Edinger Intersection Total PROGRAM GRANT AMOUNT FY ACE $6.33 Million 11/12 ACE $12.61 Million 11/12-13/14 ACE $1.00 Million 12/13 ICE $0.79 Million 13/14 $20.73 Million 55B-1 Measure M Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program - Grant Applications February 22, 2011 Page 2 of 2 To evaluate these funding proposals, OCTA requirements stipulate that the projects must be included in the City's seven-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Some of these projects are in various stages of the project development process and in these cases, because specific funding sources have not yet been determined, they were not included in the seven-year CIP. Therefore, in order to be considered for this grant funding cycle, it is necessary to amend the seven-year CIP to include these improvements. Given the need for these street improvements and the eligibility requirements defined by OCTA, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing submittal of these project applications for funding consideration, and direct staff to incorporate the projects into the seven-year CIP. Staff anticipates a response to the grant funding request in May 2011 and an OCTA Board action on the call for projects in June 2011. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT The required matching funds on these projects will be provided in the year of expenditure.
