RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 11-04 approving the submittal of various project applications to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for funding under the Renewed Measure M Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program 2010 Call for Projects for the Regional Capacity Program. FISCAL IMPACT If the proposed applications are approved by OCTA, the City's funding obligations for these projects in the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program will be reduced by approximately $13.3 million. City matching funds for each project are included in the Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND Renewed Measure M (Measure M2) is a 30-year, multi-billion dollar program extension of the original Measure M (approved in 1990) with a new slate of planned projects and programs. Measure M2 is comprised of a number of components such as: Project O (Regional Capacity Program), Project P (Regional Signal Synchronization Program), Project Q (Local Fair Share Program), and the Transit Program (Projects S, T, V, and W). The Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) represents a collection of competitive grant programs offered to local agencies. OCTA is responsible for planning and coordination of county regional transportation components, and administering a variety of funding sources including Renewed Measure M, state/federal gas taxes and Transportation Development Act (TDA) revenues. On November 8, 2010, the Board of Directors of the OCTA approved amended guidelines for local agencies to apply for funding under the Renewed Measure (M2) and authorized their staff to issue a call for projects under the Regional Capacity Program of the CTFP. Submittal of Project Applications to OCTA February 1, 2011 Page 2 The 2010 Call for Projects is the first annual call for Project O -the Regional Capacity Program (RCP) under Measure M2's CTFP and covers fiscal years 2011/12 through 2013/14. This call will provide approximately $56 million for street and road improvements across Orange County. Monies will be provided for the following three RCP funding programs during this call for projects: Arterial Capacity Enhancements (ACE), Intersection Capacity Enhancements (ICE), and Freeway Arterial/Streets Transitions (FAST). Based upon the components of the RCP, City staff has prepared applications for two projects as follows: Fiscal Year Estimated Proposed Project CTFP Funding (Fund Phase Total Project CTFP Grant Program requested)" Cost Amount Requested Tustin Ranch Road Extension from Regional Capacity "* FY 11/12 (C) $36.1 million $9 million Walnut Avenue to Valencia Avenue Pro ram - ACE Newport Avenue Extension -Phase II Regional Capacity S` FY 11/12 (R) $53.8 million $4.3 million I Pro ram - ACE FY 12/13 R TOTAL $89.9 million $13.3 million *Fund Phase Requested: E -Engineering R -Right of Way C -Construction **ACE -Arterial Capacity Enhancements The total amount requested in RCP funds is approximately $13.3 million.
