FOR FUNDING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE ORANGEWOOD AVENUE

BRIDGE WIDENING OVER THE SANTA ANA RIVER AND A NEW CITY OF ORANGE

WATER MAIN ALONG ORANGEWOOD AVENUE
This Cooperative Agreement is made and entered into this 13th day of February _2018 ("Agreement"), by and between the CITY OF ORANGE ("Orange"), a municipal'corporation in the State of California, and the CITY OF ANAHEIM ("Anaheim"), a municipal corporation in the State of California. The Cities shall sometimes be referred to separately as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

RECITALS
Orangewood Avenue, from the I-5 Freeway to Eckhoff Street, is a designated Primary Arterial on the City of Anaheim's Planned Roadway Network and the Orange County Transpiration Authority's Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH). Orangewood Avenue has a high volume Average Daily Traffic of 25,000 vehicles per day per Orange County Transportation Authority's 2016 Traffic Flow Map.

B. The segment of Orangewood Avenue between the west bank of the Santa Ana River to the SR-57 Freeway is currently a four-lane undivided highway with an eastbound right turn lane at the SR-57 Freeway. This segment of Orangewood Avenue also includes Caltrans Bridge No. 55C0050 over the Santa Ana River.

C. Orangewood Avenue from State College Boulevard to the Santa Ana River, is an existing four-lane undivided highway.

D. Based on the City of Anaheim's Platinum Triangle Implementation Plan, Update #4 for Public Works Backbone Facilities Improvements (PTIP), the Orangewood Avenue widening projects include:

Project 3B from the State College Boulevard to South DuPont Drive, Project 3C from South DuPont Drive to the Santa Ana River (City boundary limit), Project 3D from the Santa Ana River to East of the SR-57 Freeway (all within the City of Orange limits).

Collectively the projects will widen Orangewood Avenue from a four-lane undivided highway into a six-lane divided facility. The Orangewood Bridge (Project 3D) will be widened to accommodate one additional westbound lane and sidewalks with a five-lane divided highway configuration ("Project").

E. The existing Orangewood Avenue Bridge over the Santa Ana River provides no existing sidewalk on the south side of the bridge. Anaheim has identified a need to improve pedestrian access of the Orangewood Avenue Bridge over the Santa Ana River with sidewalks on both sides of the bridge and Class Il bike lanes. The Project will provide the necessary width, however the Class Il bike lanes will not be installed on the widened bridge until it can be accommodated with

the Caltrans interchange improvements at the SR-57 Freeway, which is currently in the environmental study phase.

F. The Project is within the municipal jurisdictions of the City of Anaheim and the City of Orange, the County of Orange, and Caltrans. The City of Orange has acknowledged ownership and maintenance responsibilities of the existing Orangewood Avenue Bridge over the Santa Ana River.

Pursuant to State and local guidelines, this project is required to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This project was analyzed on a program level by Supplemental Environmental Impact Report No. 339, which was certified by the Anaheim City Council on October 26, 2011. The project will provide an amendment to the Impact Report No. 339 for the Orangewood Avenue Bridge Widening for City Council approval, to complete and satisfy the statutory requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), as amended.

Project improvements for the bridge and roadway transition will include: 1) widening and restriping the existing roadway to five through lanes with a bike lane and a sixth eastbound right turn lane dropping at the SR-57 Freeway; 2) widening of the existing bridge with raised sidewalks, concrete barriers, pedestrian railing: 3) reconstruction of paved bike trails undercrossing ramps and driveway approaches; 4) drainage improvements; 5) landscape improvements; 6) retaining walls; and 7) a new transmission water main on Orangewood Avenue through the bridge.

I. The Project will develop plans to accommodate a new transmission water main on Orangewood Avenue from State College Boulevard through the widened portion of the bridge, under the SR-57 Freeway and tie in at Eckhoff Street. The plans for the water main shall be prepared in accordance with the City of Orange Standards. Street restoration, signing and striping plans shall per the City of Orange's standards.

The Orange Water Main will be designed and constructed in two separate phases. Phase I will be designed and constructed as part of Project 3B and 3C with the Orangewood Widening from State College to the Orangewood Avenue Bridge at the Santa Ana River. Phase II will be designed and constructed as part of the Project 3D with the Orangewood Avenue Bridge Widening over the Santa Ana River to the Eckhoff Street.
