DATE: April 13, 2009
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: David Carmany, City Manager ,
FROM: Vince Mastrosimone, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: FEDERAL AID PROJECT MASTER AGREEMENT NO.
12-5229R BETWEEN THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION AND THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The City Council is asked to adopt Resolution No. 5862 authorizing the City
Manager to sign the Master Agreement No. 12-5229R between the State
Department of Transportation -Caltrans and the City of Seal Beach for Federal
Aid Projects.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the Economic Stimulus Federal Funds, Orange County has been
awarded $33,000,000 for transportation funds to 34 cities. The City of Seal
Beach has been awarded $500,000 based on population. Staff designated the
funds to resurface Westminster Avenue from Seal Beach Boulevard to Bolsa
Chica.
In order to receive the funds, the Federal Government distributes the funds to the
State Department of Transportation, Caltrans. Caltrans in turns administers the
funds directly to each local agency. The administration process for receiving the
funds is lengthily and time consuming process that requires a Master Agreement
between Caltrans and the City.
The Master Agreement outlines the rules and policies on how to utilize and
administer the funds. The agreement does not allow the City to change or alter in
any way shape or form the terms or conditions. This process is the only way to
receive the Federal Funds.
Agenda Item O

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the City. The $500,000 is a one time distribution and there
is no City match requirement. The funds may only be used for transportation
purposes.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council adopt Resolution No. 5862 authorizing the City Manager to sign
the Master Agreement No. 12-5229R between the State Department of
Transportation - Caltrans and the City of Seal Beach for Federal Aid Projects.

until aproject-specific Program Supplement to this AGREEMENT for federal-aid projects,
hereinafter referred to as "PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT", has been fully executed by both STATE
and ADMINISTERING AGENCY.
2. The term "PROJECT", as used herein, means that authorized transportation related project and
related activities financed in part with federal-aid funds as more fully-described in an
"Authorization/ Agreement Summary" or "Amendment/Modification Summary", herein referred to
as "E-76" or "E-76 (AMOD)" document authorized by STATE or the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA).
3. The E-76/E-76(AMOD) shall designate the party responsible for implementing PROJECT, type
of work and location of PROJECT.
4. The PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT sets out special covenants as a condition for the
ADMINISTERING AGENCY to receive federal-aid funds from/through STATE for designated
PROJECT. The PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT shall also show these Federal Funds that have been
initially encumbered for PROJECT along with the matching funds to be provided by
ADMINISTERING AGENCY and/or others. Execution of PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT by the
PARTIES shall cause ADMINISTERING AGENCY to adopt all of the terms of this AGREEMENT
as though fully set forth therein in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. Unless otherwise expressly
delegated in a resolution by the governing body of ADMINISTERING AGENCY, and with written
concurrence by STATE, the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT shall be approved and managed by the
governing body of ADMINISTERING AGENCY.
5. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to execute and return each project-specific PROGRAM
SUPPLEMENT within ninety (90) days of receipt. The PARTIES agree that STATE may suspend
future authorizations/obligations and invoice payments for any on-going or future federal-aid
project performed by ADMINISTERING AGENCY if any project-specific PROGRAM

STATE in writing.
6. ADMINISTERING AGENCY further agrees, as a condition to the release and payment of
Federal Funds encumbered for the PROJECT described in each PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, to

railroad, the contract for such work shall be prepared by ADMINISTERING AGENCY or by
STATE, as the PARTIES may hereafter agree. In either event, ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall
enter into an agreement with the railroad providing for future maintenance of protective devices or
other facilities installed under the contract.

applicable. Further requirements and guidance are provided in Title 24 of the California Code of
Regulations.

available to ADMINISTERING AGENCY for the orderly prosecution of PROJECT work.
3. Subject to STATE approval and such supervision as is required by LOCAL ASSISTANCE
PROCEDURES over ADMINISTERING AGENCY's right of way acquisition procedures,

business or farm operation without at least ninety (90) days written notice from ADMINISTERING
AGENCY. ADMINISTERING AGENCY will provide STATE with specific assurances, on each
portion of the PROJECT, that no person will be displaced until comparable decent, safe and

constructed, rehabilitated, or restored by PROJECT for its intended public use until such time as
the parties might amend this AGREEMENT to otherwise provide. With the approval of STATE,

this obligation and responsibility to maintain and operate PROJECT property for that intended
public purpose to another public entity.
2. Upon ADMINISTERING AGENCY's acceptance of the completed federal-aid construction
contract or upon contractor being relieved of the responsibility for maintaining and protecting
PROJECT, ADMINISTERING AGENCY will be responsible for the maintenance, ownership,
liability, and the expense thereof, for PROJECT in a manner satisfactory to the authorized
representatives of STATE and FHWA and if PROJECT falls within the jurisdictional limits of
another Agency or Agencies, it is the duty of ADMINISTERING AGENCY to facilitate a separate
maintenance agreement(s) between itself and the other jurisdictional Agency or Agencies
providing for the operation, maintenance, ownership and liability of PROJECT. Until those
agreements are executed, ADMINISTERING AGENCY will be responsible for all PROJECT
operations, maintenance, ownership and liability in a manner satisfactory to the authorized
representatives of STATE and FHWA. If, within ninety (90) days after receipt of notice from
STATE that a PROJECT, or any portion thereof, is not being properly operated and maintained
and ADMINISTERING AGENCY has not satisfactorily remedied the conditions complained of, the
approval of future federal-aid projects of ADMINISTERING AGENCY will be withheld until the
PROJECT shall have been put in a condition of operation and maintenance satisfactory to STATE
and FHWA. The provisions of this section shall not apply to a PROJECT that has been vacated
through due process of law with STATE's concurrence.
3. PROJECT and its facilities shall be maintained by an adequate and well-trained staff of
engineers and/or such other professionals and technicians as PROJECT reasonably requires.
Said operations and maintenance staff may be employees of ADMINISTERING AGENCY, another
