THE CITY OF 5 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT pL£ASANTON® February 20, 2018 Community Development Traffic Engineering TITLE: APPROVE A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PLEASANTON AND THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE I-680/SUNOL BOULEVARD INTERCHANGE SUMMARY To improve safety and access, the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes a project to modify the I-680/Sunol Boulevard Interchange. Local agencies wishing to make improvements to State highway facilities are required to go through the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) project development procedures. The first step is the Project Initiation Document (PID) phase, where both Caltrans and the City agree to the project's needs and objectives, then begin preliminary engineering work. Any work completed by Caltrans on a local interchange project must be reimbursed by the local agency (2011/12 State Budget eliminated any PID phase funding and required the local agencies to fund Caltrans staff hours). This agreement outlines the roles and responsibilities of both Caltrans and the City of Pleasanton during the PID phase. RECOMMENDATION 1 . Approve the attached Cooperative Agreement (Attachment 1) between the City of Pleasanton and Caltrans for work to produce a Project Initiation Document for I-680/Sunol Boulevard Interchange Improvements, agreeing to reimburse Caltrans for their portion of the work (estimated at $204,000). 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Cooperative Agreement. FINANCIAL STATEMENT City Council approved a CIP project (CIP No. 15551) funded by Traffic Impact Fees (TIF) ($650,000 in FY 2015/16 and $1,350,000 in FY 2017/18) for a total of $2,000,000, which is intended to cover the project design. The Caltrans portion of the PID Phase, covered by the Cooperative Agreement, is budgeted at $204,000. There are sufficient funds available for this PID phase.
