CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of April 5, 1994 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Hani W. Gabriel, Economic Development Directorpio SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO CONSTRUCTION COOPERATIVE Date: April 5, 1994 AGREEMENT WITH CALTRANS FOR WASHINGTON ST./ 1215 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Background Prior to award of bid and construction of the Washington St./1215 Improvement Project funded by the Redevelopment Agency, the City entered into a Construction Cooperative Agreement ("Agreement) between the City and the State Department of Transportation ("Caltrans"). The Agreement is a standard requirement of Caltrans whenever work is to be done within the State's right-of-way. Discussion In Section 11.4 of the Agreement, Caltrans agrees to reimburse the City $13,000 for the upgrade of a concrete barrier on the south side of the freeway overcrossing structure. Further language provides reimbursement of a greater amount by the State at its sole discretion. The actual cost of the concrete barrier was $23,400. Also, during construction, Caltrans revised the plans a number of times, resulting in additional project costs. Staff negotiations with Caltrans succeeded in Caltrans' agreeing to reimburse the City an additional $7,655.70 for a metal beam guard rail and detector loop cables required by Caltrans. The total reimbursement to the City, including the originally agreed upon $13,000, has increased to $31,060. To receive the revised cost reimbursement of $31,060, it is necessary to approve and execute the attached Amendment to Agreement. Financial Impact The reimbursement from Caltrans will reduce the total project costs to the Redevelopment Agency by $31,060. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the attached Amendment to Agreement amending the Construction Cooperative Agreement for reimbursement of 531,000 of the Washington St./I- 215 Improvement Project. Staff further recommends that, in order to be consistent, that the Mayor execute the Amendment to Agreement. Although the Mayor does not ordinarily sign Page 1 of 2 Item No. 7
