RECOMMENDED
ACTION(S):
|
1. |
Approve the
Administering Agency-State Master Agreement with the State of California,
acting through its Department of Transportation, for State-Funded Projects,
effective upon execution of all necessary signatures. |
|
2. |
Adopt a Resolution to
authorize the Director of OC Public Works or designee to approve and execute
Program Supplement Agreements as described in the Administering Agency-State
Master Agreement. |
SUMMARY:
Approval of the Administering
Agency-State Master Agreement, adoption of the resolution and related actions
will allow the County of Orange to receive state funding for various Countywide
transportation improvement projects more efficiently.
BACKGROUND
INFORMATION:
The State of California has
established state-funded programs to provide funding to local agencies for
various transportation-related improvements. These programs are administered by
the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). To participate in these
programs, local agencies are required to enter into an Administering
Agency-State Master Agreement with Caltrans to establish general terms and
conditions for participation in these state-funded programs. For each specific
project awarded funding, a corresponding Program Supplement Agreement (PSA) is
executed to define project-specific scope, schedule and funding requirements.
The County of Orange (County) has
an existing Board of Supervisors (Board) approved Master Agreement with
Caltrans. However, due to regulatory and policy updates, Caltrans now requires
all local agencies to enter into a new Master Agreement to remain eligible for
continued participation in state-funded programs.
Prior Board actions are summarized
in the table below.

Board
Date |
Action |
|
3/7/2006 |
Approved Master
Agreement No. D06-011 and adopted Resolution No. 06-024 authorizing the
Director of Resources & Development Management Department or designee to
execute PSAs in which matching funds do not exceed $500,000. |
|
9/9/2008 |
Approved updated
Master Agreement No. D08-078 and adopted Resolution No. 08-124 authorizing
the Director of OC Road & Flood/Chief Engineer or designee to execute
PSAs. |
As future transportation projects are
approved for funding by Caltrans, separate PSAs will be submitted for each
individual project in accordance with the proposed Master Agreement No.
MA-080-26010180 (Master Agreement).
OC Public Works recommends the Board
approve the Master Agreement and adopt a resolution to authorize the Director
of OC Public Works or designee to approve and execute PSAs as described in the
Master Agreement.
Compliance
with CEQA: This
action is not a project within the meaning CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is
therefore not subject to CEQA, since it does not have the potential for
resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The approval of this
agenda item does not commit the County to a definite course of action regard to
a project since the action authorizes approval of a Master Agreement with
Caltrans. This proposed activity is therefore not subject to CEQA. Any further
action connected to this approval that constitutes a project will be reviewed
for compliance with CEQA.
