TO:
WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
SUBJECT: EASTERN TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR ANALYSIS
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City council at their meeting of March 7, 1988,
authorize a supplemental, budget appropriation in the amount of
$10,150.00 from general fund monies for the completion of the Eastern
Transportation Corridor Analysis currently being performed by the
cities of Tustin, Irvine and Orange, and the Irvine Company.
BACKGROUND:
Originally, the Cities of Irvine and Tustin employed the consulting
firm of RBF to provide studies for the potential connection/interchange
f the Eastern Transportation Corridor with the Santa Ana (I-5)
~'reeway. This original study was to provide a technical analysis and
environmental review of each city's desired connection alternative with
the I-5 Freeway, for the estimated cost of $78,800.00 to be shared
equally between both cities.
As a result, the Tustin-Orange-I.rvine studies on 'the two-leg ETC
concep{ (easterly leg and westerly leg) and the no connection concept
to the I-5 Freeway, the original Tustin-Irvine connection study was
cancelled. Approximately $4100.00 had been .expended on the original
study against Tustin's share of $39,400.00. The remaining unexpended
balance of $35,300.00 has been redirected to the joint on-going
Tustin-Irvine-Orange (TIO) ETC Analysis.
DISCUSSION:
The current TIO analysis is still on-going with a total committed'
expenditure to date of $165,000.00 which is being shared equally
between the three cities and the Irvine Company on 25% shares
($41,250.00 per participant).
The additional costs for this ETC analysis will cover the supplemental
work authorized to cover the Homeowners Coalition's concerns, the
alternative E-1 Modified Expressway concept, and a summary analysis of
the above.
Tn order to complete all work for submittal to the County as comments
.o the Draft EIR for the Eastern Transportation Corridor, it will be
necessary for the Tustin City Council to authorize a supplemental
budget appropriation in the amount of $10,150.00 to cover Tustin's 25%
