LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
THE SAN JOAQUIN COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS,
THE CITY OF MANTECA, AND THE COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN
This Letter of Understanding, effective as of May 9, 2025, is made and entered into by and between SAN JOAQUIN COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS (SJCOG), the CITY OF MANTECA, and the COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN;
The parties hereto do mutually agree as follows:
SJCOG, in partnership with the CITY OF MANTECA and the COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN, are seeking to develop a Project Study Report (equivalent) for a new Roth Road roadway from Airport Way to Route 99, including a new Roth Road/99 Interchange. Each agency has expressed willingness to contribute onethird of the PSR cost, not to exceed $166,667 each. The combined total funding would be a not-to-exceed amount of $500,000. CITY OF MANTECA agrees to reimburse COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN for their contribution upon annexation of properties encompassing the proposed Roth Road extension.
The agencies also are seeking to use existing on call engineering lists in order to expedite the competitive selection process for the preparation of this PSR. Following the completion of that Request for Proposal process and acceptance of a proposal agreed by all parties, SJCOG will enter into a contract with the selected consultant and will provide contract oversight and coordination of deliverables under the referenced contract and scope of work. After receiving invoicing from the selected consultant, SJCOG will invoice the CITY OF MANTECA and the COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN for their proportionate share of the billing. SJCOG will provide all needed documentation for invoice processing and each agency will pay within 30 days.
At the time of this letter of agreement, the scope of the project for a consultant solicitation had not been prepared. Only a scope approved by the respective three agencies will move forward to the RFP process.
The concept would be to achieve the goals of an engineering study that could (1) in general, identify the Roth Road alignment (from Airport to SR 99) to enable right-of-way preservation and guide respective agencies in assessing development impact fees (2) identify interim/nearer-term roadway design (and costs) that connect Roth Road from Airport to the 99 frontage road (3) identify “ultimate” roadway design (and costs) for a new Roth Road/99 Interchange; this is intended to be conceptual-level costs in order to expedite study completion. All parties recognize this study is a first step to get engineering details on Roth Road and not intended as a commitment to any financial cost-share beyond the study. __________________________ Date: _____
