In order to receive the funds, the City must agree to administer the project under the conditions set forth by the State: This agreement is via a supplement to the Local Agency -State Master Agreement. BACKGROUND: On January 14, 1999, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) adopted guidelines allowing for the use of 1998 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) augmentation funding for the repair and rehabilitation of storm damage to local streets and road systems caused by the 1997-1998 El Nino storms. The CTC requested that counties and cities submit an inventory of eligible projects by July l; 1099. As authorized by the City Council, the City submitted a funding request for the subject project on May 24, 1999. On December 20, 1999, the State approved funding for the proposed project in the amount of $7,000 for design purposes. After the -City completes the design, we can request reimbursement by the State of the actual design, costs. The project consists of cold milling and asphalt', concrete overlay and all appurtenant and incidental work at the locations indicated on the attached Exhibit A. The combined length of the various segments of the 48 streets is about 5.5 miles. DISCUSSION: The City and State have had a Master Agreement for many years authorizing reimbursement to the City for approved expenditures on City streets. The proposed Program Supplement -Agreement No. 0215. Rev. 000 to Local Agency -State Master Agreement No. 00259 (copy, attached) authorizes funding for up to $7,000 in design costs for .this current project. The adoption and execution of a resolution approving the program supplement agreement is required by the State prior to applying for the available funding. Once the design is complete, the City will advertise this project and will award a contract, subject to. State approval and further funding authorization. Assuming standard processing of the project, construction could begin in May 2000 and be completed within six weeks. FISCAL IMPACT: The State will eventually provide the majority of funding for the project ($550,000) from the STEP Augmentation Funds Program with matching Gas Tax funds ($40,000) by the .City of West Covina.
