Determine that, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended actions are exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. ER-2025-58 was filed for Project No. 20-6959. GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency Engineering Services Division (PWA) is responsible for the administration and oversight of all Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) in the City. The Main Street Rehabilitation Project (No. 20-6959, 20-6960) will resurface Main Street from Memory Lane to the North City Limits by utilizing slurry seal, crack seal, and minor pavement resurfacing with asphalt concrete. As a standard, the City utilizes Rubberized Emulsion Aggregate Slurry (REAS) when performing slurry seal pavement rehabilitation which is a type of slurry seal that uses recycled tire rubber, enhancing its performance and sustainability. REAS offers several benefits, including extended pavement life, cost- effectiveness, and environmental friendliness compared to other pavement slurries. The project scope was refined through field walks and collaboration with the Mainplace Mall, City of Orange, and surrounding businesses. The work also includes replacement and installation of missing or damaged curbs, gutters, sidewalk, driveway approaches, wheelchair ramps, and striping. This project is a key component of the City's adopted Capital Improvement Program and supports the broader vision of creating a more accessible, safe, and sustainable transportation network for all users. The City of Orange shares the right-of way within Main Street from E City Place Drive to North City Limits (Exhibit 1). Therefore, a Cooperative Cost Reimbursement agreement is required for the City of Orange to fund their portion of the improvements. The Cooperative Cost Reimbursement agreement between the City and the City of Orange identifies the roles and responsibilities of each party and identifies each parties' costs. The City of Orange's cost reimbursement amount of up to $104,670 includes $20,935 for their share of the Construction Engineering costs (Exhibit 2). Once completed, these changes will improve the City's overall pavement condition, enhance the visual appearance of the street, upgrade ride quality, drainage, and support compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Project Advertisement and Contractor Procurement To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of 71 regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana based.
