Director, Public`Works and Utilities Larry Zimmer,.P:E.—Capital Improvements Division Manager SUBJECT: Resolution.Approving the Freeway Maintenance Agreement for the Old Redwood Highway Interchange Improvement Project and Authorizing City Manager to Execute the Agreement. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the Freeway Maintenance Agreement (FMA) for the Old Redwood Highway Interchange Improvement Project and authorizing City Manager to execute the agreement. BACKGROUND On August 3;.2009,the City Council approved the cooperative agreement between the City of Petaluma and the Sonoma County Transportation Authority (SCTA)for funding the construction of the'Old Redwood Highway Interchange Improvement Project. The improvements for this City-sponsored project include replacing the existing two lane overcrossing (©C) with a multi- lane facility with bicycle lanes and pedestrian sidewalks'on both sides: The interchange ramps will be reconfigured to current design standards and enhanced with additional turning lanes, vehicle storage, and traffic operations system improvements at the ramp and local street intersections. The proposed action meets City Council Goal: "Plan-for,and implement priority capital projects as funding permits". DISCUSSION Caltran s,has,i-equested`the;City execute the FMA(see Attachment 2) for maintenance of the portion of Old Redwood Highway/Petaluma Boulevard North within the State right-of-way. Staff recommends Council.approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute the FMA to facilitate construction of the Old Redwood Idighway Interchange Improvement Project. The City will,continue to be responsible for maintenance of City streets and improvements that have been recon`stiucted, relocated or added as the result of the Interchange Improvement Agenda_Review: City Attorney Director City Manag Project as.noted in the Agreement. The City remains responsible for maintenance of City streets, but not for the Highway 101 Caltrans components of the project,justas it was before the project. The City will be responsible for maintenance of approximately 5,200 square feet of new concrete barrier, 4,700 square feet of new retaining wall, and 4,310 square feet of new sound wall. The City will maintain the City side of walls and other barriers that Caltrans cannot access from within their right of way. Additionally, the City will be responsible for 34,290 square feet of existing non-paved area, and 233,600 square feet of roadway surface, including the surface of the bridge. These areas include both existing and new surface due to the widening of the. roadway. The non-paved areas will receive minimal landscaping and some irrigation. Some landscaping on the landscape strips will be included in the Old Redwood Highway project. The majority of the landscaping within Caltrans right of way will be completed by Caltrans at a future date. City maintenance staff has reviewed the draft agreement and have estimated that most of the maintenance costs will be for graffiti eradication. The City will be responsible for trees and mulch within the landscaped areas. FINANCIAL IMPACTS The costs associated with this action are staff time and materials to carry out the City's maintenance responsibilities. It is difficult to estimate the cost of maintenance because it will vary based on damage from accidents or vandalism, which is unpredictable. Graffiti removal and landscape maintenance costs are estimated to be $5,000 annually and are included in the Parks & Landscape maintenance budget. Roadway maintenance including striping, signing,and surface repairs is estimated to average approximately$3;000 annually. This cost will be supported by the Streets Fund maintenance and Operations budget. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution 2. Freeway Maintenance Agreement • 2 Attachment 1 RESOLUTION NO. N.C.S.
