FISCAL IMPACT
The City remains eligible to receive State transportation project funding by complying with this requirement.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Caltrans requires agencies to operate under a State Master Agreement to receive transportation project funding. The City executes project-specific Program Supplement Agreements to designate funding as it identifies funding-eligible projects. The City of Fullerton has a State Master Agreement with Caltrans (Agreement No. 00411S), in effect since January 8, 2013, which allows the City to receive reimbursement on State-funded projects. Caltrans updated certain agreement policies which requires authorization to execute a new Master Agreement to continue receiving State funding and reimbursements for certain transportation projects.
Project-specific agreements issued under the proposed master agreement become the contractual basis for Caltrans to reimburse the City for State-funded transportation projects. These agreements define the scope of work and reimbursement limits. The City must execute separate agreements to receive funds. The proposed resolution would authorize the Director of Public Works to execute the Master Agreement and future program supplement agreements with Caltrans.
