CEQA Determination and Award of Contract for Installation of Signing and Striping Improvements at Ten Local Roadways: Agate Street, Baxter Street, Bel Air Street, Danbrook Avenue, Gerda Drive, Greenacre Avenue, Greenleaf Avenue, Janss Street, Moonstone Street, and Santa Ana Street April 21, 2026
In September 2022, the Department of Public Works submitted a grant application to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for the installation of signing and striping improvements at ten local roadways. In March 2023, the City was awarded $88,100 in grant funding, of which $79,290 is funded through HSIP and the remaining balance is funded through local sources. The construction funds of $75,900 will be funded using $68,310 in HSIP funds and $7,590 in Measure M2 Fairshare funds. The proposed improvements are consistent with the Circulation Element of the City of Anaheim’s General Plan and support ongoing efforts to enhance roadway safety.
The bid price competitively falls under the engineer’s estimate but appears to be reasonable and is within the available funding. Liquidated damages for this project are established at $2,800 per calendar day. Construction is anticipated to begin in the 2nd Quarter of 2026.
This item supports Anaheim’s Strategic Plan Goal A. – Maintain Financial Responsibility Strategy No. 1 – Identify potential new funding sources/revenue to increase City revenues to maintain and enhance services, and Strategy No. 2 – Continue proactive pursuit of state and federal grants.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Sections 21000–21177) and pursuant to Title 14, Sections 15301 and 15302 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), the City of Anaheim, as Lead Agency, is required to determine if the Project is exempt from CEQA. Upon review of the CCR, staff recommends that the City Council determine that the Project is Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to Title 14, Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction). Section 15301 applies to the minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing use. Section 15302 applies to the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new work will be located on the same site and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity. The proposed project consists of the installation and replacement of signing and striping improvements at existing roadways, which qualifies under these exemptions. Following City Council’s determination that the Project is Categorically Exempt from CEQA, the City will file a Notice of Exemption (NOE) with the County Clerk, which will initiate a 35-day statute of limitations for any legal challenges.
COMMUNITY WORKFORCE AGREEMENT (CWA):
This Project is exempt from the City’s CWA, as the size and scope of the project do not meet the definition of “Project Work” pursuant to the agreement.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
Sufficient funds are available in the Public Works Department FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program budget from Restricted Transportation Funds.
Respectfully submitted,
Rudy Emami
Public Works Director
