It is recommended that the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency at

Dokken Engineering to prepare and process a Project Study Report
(PSR) to approval by Caltrans for the Newport Avenue/SR-55
InterchAnge Northbound Ramp Reconfiguration Project in the amount of
$152,500.00 from the City Trust Fund for the South Central Project
Area of the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds to accomplish work tasks such as this have been advanced by the
Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency to the City and are available
for accomplishmen~ of work efforts associated with carrying out the
Redevelopment Plan for the South Central Project Area.
DISCUSSION
At the'June 7, 1993 meetings of the City Council and the Tustin
Community Redevelopment Agency, a Public Works Agreement was entered
into between the City and the Agency for accomplishment of the
Newpor: Avenue Extension Project improvements in the South Central
Project Area. The agreement provides for the City to undertake the
publi~ improvements described in the document on behalf of the Agency
and that the Agency will pay the city for these improvements from
future tax increments to the South Central Project Area.
The subject Professional Services Agreement with Dokken Engineering
will enable a critical link in the accomplishment of the South
Central Project Area infrastructure improvements to begin to be
realized, that is, the future approval by Caltrans of the Newport
Avenue/SR-55 Interchange Northbound Ramp Reconfiguration. Without
Caltrans' approval of this work, implementation of the full Newport
Avenue extension project from its present termination to Valencia
Avenue, including other accompanying necessary infrastructure in the
Pacific Center East Specific Plan Area will be seriously hampered.

The firm of Dokken Engineering has for a number of years been under
contract to the developer of the Pacific Center East Specific Plan
Area, Catell~s Development Corporation, to perform preliminary
engineering services related to the above noted work. Due to the
current economic downturn, Catellus has found themselves unable to
financially proceed at this time with the consulting engineering
services necessary to complete, process and obtain approval of the
PSR. Accordingly, through a separate agreement to be executed
between the Agency and Catellus, it has been determined to be
mutually beneficial to proceed with gaining PSR approval from
Caltrans for the Interchange project by the Agency/City retaining and
fully administering the services of Dokken Engineering to complete
· the work that they had been performing for Catellus.
