| | Subject: | Adoption of a Resolution approving the submittal of an application to the Orange County Transportation Authority for the Construction Phase of the Euclid/Westminster Intersection Improvement Project. (Action Item) | Date: | 9/22/2020 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
For City Council to adopt a resolution authorizing submittal of an application for the Euclid/Westminster Intersection Improvement Project, Construction Phase to the Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) 2020 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP). |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The CTFP is the funding mechanism by which OCTA administers competitive funding for streets and road projects, including the Intersection Capacity Enhancement Program, which funds capital improvements, such as the addition of turning lanes at qualifying intersections. In 2017, the City applied for and was awarded the CTFP grant for right-of-way acquisition. All right-of-way phase proceedings are now complete. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The Project will add a southbound right-turn lane along Euclid Street and an eastbound right-turn lane along Westminster Avenue at the intersection of Euclid Street and Westminster Avenue.
The City is now submitting an application for the 2020 CTFP call for projects for construction phase funding. The City is requesting $1,022,531 (65%) in grant funding, with a matching local obligation of $550,594 (35%) for a total project cost of $1,573,125. Grant awards will be announced in spring 2021, and staff expects to start construction in July 2021. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. The CTFP program provides 65% of funding and requires a 35% local match. Gas Tax will be used to provide matching funds in the amount of $550,594 for this grant cycle. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Adopt a Resolution authorizing the submittal of a grant application to the Orange County Transportation Authority’s Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program for the City of Garden Grove’s Euclid/Westminster Intersection Improvement Project, Construction Phase.
