REQUEST TO THE ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY TO RELEASE A
SUPPLEMENTAL PORTION OF THE COMBINED TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM FUNDS
FOR THE JAMBOREE ROAD/EDINGERAVENUE INTERCHANGE (CIP NO. 7'1,54)
SUMMARY
Adoption of Resolution No. 00-7 will enable the City to request and receive an additional
reimbursement of Combined Transportation Program Funds from the Orange County
Transportation Authority of $1,259,394 for the Jamboree Road/Edinger Avenue Interchange
Project.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council request the Orange County Transportation Authority
(OCTA) release an additional reimbursement of $1,259,394 from the Combined Transportation
Program Funds for the Jamboree Road/Edinger Avenue Interchange Project by adopting
Resolution No. 00-7.
FISCAL IMPACT
OCTA has allocated $11,585,000 to reimburse the Cities of Tustin and Irvine for the
Construction Implementation Phase of this project through the Smart Street Program. Of this
$11,585,000, the City of Tustin has previously received $8,619,743 from OCTA. Adoption of
Resolution No. 00-7 will enable the City to request and receive an additional reimbursement of
$1,259,394 for the project. Tustin, as designated'lead agency for the Smart Street Project,
receives both Irvine's and Tustin's share of the reimbursement. Upon receipt of this additional
reimbUrsementthe total received from OCTA will be $9,879,137. The remainder of the funds will
be requested from OCTA as part of the final project report.
BACKGROUND
On May 15, 1995, the City Council approved the Master Funding Agreement (MFA) with OCTA
for projects funded in the Combined Transportation Funding Program (CTFP). In February
1997, OCTA approved Smart Street funds for the construction of the Jamboree Road/Edinger
Avenue Interchange as part of the Moulton Parkway Smart Street Project.
On September 8, 1997, the OCTA amended the MFA and allocated construction funds in the
amount of $11,585,000 for the Jamboree Road/Edinger Avenue Interchange project. The
Jamboree Road/EdingerAvenue Interchange is a joint project with the Cities of Irvine and Tustin ·
and the Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA). TCA is the lead agency for the Construction
Request to the Orange County Transportation Authority to Release a Supplemental Portion of
the Combined Transportation Program Funds for the Jamboree Road/Edinger Avenue
Interchange (CIP No. 7154)

Implementation Phase and shares in the final construction cost but does not receive any Smart
Street reimbursement. TCA has arranged for the County of Orange to administrate the
construction of the interchange.
The County awarded the construction contract for the interchange project to Kajima
Engineering & Construction Company in the amount of $14,366,238. Pursuant to OCTA
guidelines, once a construction project has been awarded, the participating agency may
request release of funds from OCTA up to 90 percent of the lesser of either the total allocated
project funds or the construction contract amount. In this case, the Cities of Tustin and Irvine's
portion of the (2/3) of 90 percent of the construction contract was the lesser amount. In
Resolution 97-102 the City Council previously requested and received $8,619,743 frOm OCTA.
DISCUSSION
Currently, with Contract Change Orders approved to date, the total dollar amount of actual
construction, right of way, and construction management stands at $16,465,228.
With the increase in the costs of the project construction phase the City now becomes eligible for
an additional reimbursement of $1,259,394. In'order to receive this additional reimbursement it
is necessary for the City Council to pass and adopt Resolution No. 00-7, which requests that the
OCTA release this $1,259,394. Upon completion of the plant maintenance period and full
project accounting, including final construction costs, construction administration and
contingencies, the City will prepare a final request to OCTA for the remaining allocation of
eligible expenses up to the original allocation of $11,585,000.
