Item #12 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 19, 2004 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: Amer Jakher, P.E., City Engineer SUBJECT: Approve Memorandum of Agreement (MOU) Between The City Of Colton And The City Of Rialto and Approve Resolution to Include Traffic Signalization Project at Riverside Avenue and Agua Mansa Road For Fiscal Year 2004-2005. DATE: October 11, 2004 BACKGROUND: The intersection of Riverside Avenue and Agua Mansa Road has been identified to need a signal due to the heavy volume of traffic, the City of Rialto and the City of Colton both share the intersection. Both cities affected by the traffic flow at this intersection having identified the need have distributed the tasks involved in installing signals at this intersection; currently this intersection exists as a four way stop. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Per the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) the City of Rialto will take the lead agency in the design role of this project and the City of Colton will act as the lead for the construction phase of the project. The City of Colton is responsible for 25% of the total Project's costs. The full scope of the project is: signalizing the intersection that will involve construction of missing intersection infrastructure and street improvements such as curb, gutter, sidewalk and handicap ramps as well as re -stripping as needed. The City of Rialto has already approved the MOU. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The project will be funded by the City of Rialto providing 75% of costs ($171,000) and the City of Colton providing 25% of costs ($57,000). The project's total costs are estimated at $228,000. This project was identified in the City's Capital Improvement Project Program for fiscal year 2004-2005 as Project III -46. The funding for this Project will be used from the Measure I funds initially allocated to CIP Project II -1, in the amount of $61,354. However, since the Electric Department and the RIX (Rapid Infiltration and Extraction) Facility will be paying for all of Project II -1 costs the Measure I funds to be used for Project 11-1 are no longer needed for Project 11-1; the RIX Facility is complying to an Agreement the City entered into with the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority on February 91n 1994 which commits it to all costs incurred in the repair of the section of Agua Mansa Road that runs parallel to its Facility. The City will incorporate this change in its use of Measure I funds in its 2005/2006 Meausure I Five Year Plan. Thus, the $61,354 initially anticipated to be used for Project II -1 can be used for the Traffic Signalization Project at Riverside Avenue and Agua Mansa Road (Project III -46). The expenditure account number 450-0537-6970-3890 will be budgeted at the reimbursement amount of $61,354 to cover the City's local share of the Project's cost. 7/10/03 City Clerk's Office Cb
