To: City Council -, _ ">w I
From: Michael E. Holland · ~
Agenda Item: 8.d.
Subject: Item No. 8.d. Approve Business Assistance Grant for Rigna Investments (ARCO).
In August 2021, the Council approved an expenditure plan for the funds received from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The intent of ARPA was lay the foundation for a strong and equitable economic recovery and to provide resources for local governments to invest in infrastructure. As part of the local expenditure plan, the Council set aside funds to help businesses within the City.
Due to the pandemic, Rigna Investments (ARCO) has been significantly delayed due to the inability to secure a transformer to power the site. This setback has cost the developer over seven months of revenues. In addition, during the reconstruction of the southside of Mariposa Street it was discovered that the roadway lacked the proper amount of road base. To properly reconstruct Mariposa Street, the contractor had to excavate deeper and bring in additional base road. To help off-set the additional cost to Mariposa Street, staff is recommending the utilize ARP A funding to cover the cost of two invoices from Gouveia Engineering totaling $19,398.49.
