HUSTON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TUSTIN REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION COMMUNITY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE IRVINE BOULEVARD STORM DRAIN PROJECT FROM EL MODENA (F07) CHANNEL TO YORBA STREET (CIP 900024/RDA) RECOMME~ATION It is recommended that the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency (RDA) take the following actions: 1) adopt Resolution RDA No. 95-9 so that tax funds allocated to the Town Center Project Area may be used outside the boundaries of the Project Area for the purpose of relieving the flooding conditions on Irvine Boulevard; and 2) authorize the Tustin City Council and City staff to administrate a Professional Services Agreement for the design, and construction of the Irvine Boulevard storm drain project improvements from E1 Modena (F07) Channel to Yorba Street. FISCAL IMPACT The current RDA Capital Improvement Program budget (Town Center) provides $25,000 for Preliminary Engineering, $110,000 for Final Design in 1995-96 FY and $125,700 for construction in 1996-97 FY. An additional $800,000 for construction is planned to be budgeted in the City of Tustin Capital Improvement Program in 1996-97 FY. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION In the FY 1990-91 the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency approved funds for the design and construction of the Amaganset Way Storm Drain Project between the North Tustin (Fl2) Channel and Acacia Drive. The intent of the project was to relieve the flooding conditions on Irvine Boulevard within the Redevelopment Area. During the design phase many alternatives were explored, however, it was determined that construction of the Amaganset Way Project was not feasible due to physical constraints. The proposed project will now design a relief storm drain backbone system along Irvine Boulevard, with the potential for implementation of future branch systems north of Irvine Boulevard. The benefit to the RDA Town Center Project Area is that the proposed system would relieve the flooding problem within the redevelopment area on Irvine Boulevard and areas adjacent to but outside the RDA Town Center Project Area. Redevelopment law requires the use of any Redevelopment Project Area tax increment to be used only within the project boundaries. However, Section 33445 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code) provides an exception to this rule when the local agency makes findings that use of these funds, outside of the Project Area, constitutes a benefit to the Project Area and that no other reasonable means of financing the improvements are available to the Community. Said findings must be declared through the adoption of a resolution adopted by both the Redevelopment Agency and the City Council. It should be noted that the City of Tustin Capital Improvement Program funds are insufficient to complete the project without additional RDA funds. It is requested that the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency authorize the City of Tustin and its staff to award and administrate a Professional Services Agreement, advertise for bids, administrate the construction contract and inspect all construction work for the project. All consultant agreements, bid documents and contracts will be prepared under City of Tustin documents in order not to duplicate administrative efforts. This assignment of work has been done on several previous Redevelopment Agency Capital Improvement Projects. Tim D.
