As Recommended ? As Amended ? Ordinance on 1' Reading ? Ordinance on 2nd Reading ? Implementing Resolution ? Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Authorize the Public Works Agency to request a one-time, two-year extension of Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Program (ECP) funding for construction of the Santa Ana Delhi Channel Diversion Project. The recommended action would authorize staff to request a two-year extension from the current June 30, 2014 deadline. The extension is necessary to allow sufficient time to negotiate and enter into cost sharing agreements with the project partners (Cities of Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, and County of Orange Flood Division) and to complete the design and prepare the construction documents. The Santa Ana Delhi Channel Diversion Project is intended to capture and divert urban water discharge during low-flow conditions into the sanitary sewer system to improve urban surface water quality. The treatment process captures sediment, trash, and debris prior to discharging the flows into an underground storage vault, where it would eventually be pumped into the Orange County Sanitation District sanitary sewer line or harvested for irrigation use at the Newport Beach Golf Course. On November 19, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution 2012-047 (Exhibit 1) authorizing the Executive Director of Public Works to submit a grant application to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for construction funding under the Combined Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) Measure M2 ECP. In February 2013, the OCTA Board of Directors approved construction funding in the amount of $2,572,875 for Fiscal Year 2014-15. In accordance with CTFP guidelines, the construction contract for this project must be awarded by June 30, 2014. Due to the complexities of the cost sharing agreements and the required approval processes, staff estimates that construction will be awarded closer to December 2014. Because the grant only permits a one-time extension request, staff recommends requesting the maximum two-year extension allowed to accommodate any unforeseen obstacles. 21A-1 Santa Ana Delhi Channel Diversion Project OCTA ECP Grant Extension Request September 16, 2013 Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
