Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) grants. The TIRCP was created by CA Senate Bill 862 to provide grants from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). The GGRF funds transformative capital improvement projects that modernize California’s intercity, commuter, and urban rail systems, and bus and ferry transit systems, to significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, vehicle miles traveled, and congestion. The proposed master agreement allows the City to receive reimbursement on several TIRCP-funded projects (Exhibit 1).
Additionally, separate program supplement agreements are required to secure those funds and receive reimbursements for specific projects after a master agreement is in place. A resolution is required to authorize the Executive Director of Public Works Agency to execute all program supplement agreements which fall under this master agreement (Exhibit 2). The program supplement agreements define the scope of work and reimbursement limits for each TIRCP-Funded project. The Executive Director of Public Works Agency may only execute program supplement agreements for Capital Improvement Projects approved by the City Council.
