D98 -096 WITH COUNTY OF ORANGE FOR THE IRVINE AVENUE ROADWAY WIDENING PROJECT FROM SOUTH BRISTOL STREET TO MESA DRIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. D98 -096 with the County of Orange for additional responsibilities and cost sharing for the Irvine Avenue Widening project from South Bristol Street to Mesa Drive. DISCUSSION: The City and County share the street right -of -way on Irvine Avenue between South Bristol Street and Mesa Drive. On April 9, 2002, the City and County entered into an Agreement defining the responsibilities and costs for widening Irvine,Avenue from four lanes to six lanes. The County is the lead agency for the design, right -of -way acquisition, and construction of this Measure M (partially funded) project. Each agency is responsible for the matching costs within its jurisdiction, except for the items identified in the proposed amendment. The most recent estimate for the Irvine Avenue construction is $6 million and right -of -way acquisition is appraised at $830,000. Some monies are included in this year's Capital Improvement Program budget for this work. One reason why the amendment is needed is to add the construction of landscaped raised medians and a landscaped parcel of land adjacent to the street north of Mesa Drive (See Attachment 1). The County's plans showed these areas as striped center medians and a vacant dirt parcel owned by the County. In order to beautify this segment of the roadway, the City is required by the County to be responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of these areas both in City and County jurisdictions. Funding for this improvement is proposed to be from the Santa Ana Heights Redevelopment Agency. Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. D98 -096 with the county of Orange for the Irvine Avenue Roadway Widening Project from South Bristol Street to Mesa Drive November 28, 2006 Page 2 The second reason for the amendment is to define the cost sharing of the Mesa Drive at the Irvine Avenue intersection. This intersection experiences heavy left turn movements from westbound Mesa Drive to southbound Irvine Avenue and an additional left turn lane is warranted. In order to accomplish this, the west side of the intersection needs to be widened for through traffic. This widening requires additional right -of -way and the construction of new retaining walls and street improvements. The County will reimburse the City for the design of these improvements this fiscal year. The City and County will each bear 50% of the right -of -way and construction costs to be budgeted next fiscal year. Latest estimates for this work are $440,000 for right -of -way acquisition and $335,000 for construction. Presently the project construction drawings are 95% complete and the County is in the process of acquiring the needed right -of -way. Construction is scheduled to start in the summer of 2007.
