DISCUSSION The Orange County Transportation Authority's (aCTA's) Interstate 405 (1- 405) /State Route 55 (SR-55) Interchange Improvement Project is nearly complete. The Cities of Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and the majority of businesses in the area have requested replacement landscaping at two key interchanges to repair the conditions that deteriorated significantly during the four-year construction period. On June 27, 2005, the aCTA Board authorized the execution of a cooperative agreement with the Cities of Costa Mesa and Santa Ana, in a not to exceed amount of $1,343,000. This funding was allocated for the design and installation of new landscaping at the I-405/Bristol Street and SR-55/MacArthur Boulevard Interchanges (Exhibit 1). Based on the cost estimate generated by Caltrans, the Cities of Costa Mesa and Santa Ana would receive 40 and 60 percent of the funding, respectively. This translates into funding allocations of $537,200 for 25C-1 Cooperative Agreement With aCTA August 15, 2005 Page 2 Costa Mesa for the I-405/Bristol Street Interchange and $805,800 for Santa Ana for the SR-55/MacArthur Boulevard Interchange. Further, the Cities of Costa Mesa and Santa Ana, as part of the cooperative agreement, have agreed to manage their respective landscaping projects and provide detailed monthly expenditure reports to aCTA. The Cities have also agreed to fund any additional cost over the original amount allocated, or reduce the scope of work to remain within their respective budgets. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT aCTA previously filed an Initial Study/Environmental Assessment in July 1999 for the installation of landscaping at these two locations in conjunction with the I-405/SR-55 Interchange Project. FISCAL IMPACT The appropriation adjustment will increase the Measure M Transitway Program revenue account (account no. 32-01-5049) by $805,800 and the expenditure appropriation by $805,800 (account no. 32-551-6631, project no. 06-1015) to install new landscaping at the SR-55/MacArthur Boulevard Interchange.
