Discussion: On January 14, 2005, the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) sent out a call for projects. The federal government earmarked $15 million to the County of Riverside for Surface Transportation Program rehabilitation projects. The City of Palm Desert's portion of the $15 million totalled $372,685. The money is designated only for construction costs associated with the street improvements. The Public Works Department has identified Country Club Drive as a good candidate for rehabilitation. The proposed improvements will resurface all four lanes between Cook Street and Eldorado Drive. The road will be milled and paved with two inches of rubberized asphalt concrete. The Program Supplement Agreement outlines the overall parameters for any federal funding the City will receive from the California Department of Transportation. The attached agreement provides the lower of 53.64% or $372,685.00 toward the construction costs associated with the Country Club Drive Improvements, City Project No. 646-06. The federal funds received will reimburse expenditures from City -advanced funds out of the resurfacing account (110-4311-433-3320). Approve City -State Program Supplement Agreement 004-M September 14, 2006 Page 2 of 2 Upon approval of Program Supplemental Agreement No. 004-M covering construction costs for the Country Club Drive Pavement Rehabilitation Improvements, the City Clerk will prepare a Certified Minute Order which clearly identifies the project and the official authorized to execute the agreement. This Certified Minute Order will serve in lieu of the Caltrans-suggested authorizing resolution. Therefore, staff recommends that City Council approve the City of Palm Desert-Caltrans Program Supplement Agreement No. 08-5414 (004-M) and authorize the City Manager to execute the Supplement Agreement covering construction costs for the Country Club Drive improvements, City Project 646-06 — Contract No. C25730.

Please retain the signed Finance Letter for your records. We have included two new special covenants that allow any funding for future phases of this project be encumbered upon approval of the "Request for Authorization" and Finance Letter. The Program Supplement Agreement need not be revised for that purpose. However, please note that federal funding will be lost if you proceed with future phase(s) of the project prior to getting the "Authorization to Proceed" with that phase. Please review the covenants and sign both copies of this Agreement and return both to this office, Office of Project Implementation - MS1 within 60 days from the date of this letter. If the signed Agreements are not received back in this office within 60 days, funds will be disencumbered and/or deobligated. Alterations should not be made to the agreement language or funding. Attach your local agency's certified authorizing resolution that clearly identifies the project and the official authorized to execute the agreement. A fully executed copy of the agreement will be returned to you upon ratification by Caltrans. No invoices for reimbursement can be processed until the agreement is fully executed. In accordance to Government Code 16304, Federal funds appropriated by the State budget are available for liquidation only for seven years and the State funds are available only for five years. The attached Finance Letter shows these deadlines as the "Reversion Date". Please ensure that your invoices are submitted at least 60 days prior to the reversion date to avoid any lapse of funds. If your agency is unable to seek reimbursement by this date you may request an extension through a Cooperative Work Agreement (CWA). A CWA is subject to the final approval of the State Department of Finance. If approved, the CWA may extend the deadline for up to one year for federal funds and up to three years for State funds. Please note that Government Code 16304 does not supersede any other more restrictive expenditure deadlines. Your prompt action is requested. If you have questions, please contact your District Local Assistance Engineer.
