STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Authorize the Director of Public Works to Submit Applications for
Tier III Highway 111 Measure "A" Funds for Two City Projects in
Response to a Call for Projects by the Coachella Valley Association
of Governments (CVAG)
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: December 13, 2007
CONTENTS: Exhibit
List of Projects
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, authorize the Director of Public Works to submit the
applications for Tier III funds for two City projects in response to the call
for projects by CVAG, and appropriate $4,250,000.00 from Unobligated
Fund 400.
Discussion:
When Measure "A" was passed in 1988, one of the provisions stated that 15% of the
funds would go to State Highways. Highway 111 was one of those to receive funds
from the special 15% allocation. Under the Tier I allotment, the City made
improvements through a series of projects along Highway 111, ultimately providing six
through lanes across the city. A second allotment was announced for cities which had
not yet constructed an improvement project on Highway 111. After all the Tier I and
Tier II projects were allocated, a sizable amount of money remained. In light of this,
CVAG has decided to put out a call for projects for Tier III Highway 111 Measure "A"
funded projects.
Funding in the amount of approximately $9 million of Tier III funds will be available for
the Coachella Valley for programming in the coming fiscal years.
Projects considered eligible for Tier III funds include those that relieve traffic congestion,
increase safety, improve air quality, or enhance capacity. There is a minimum request
of $250,000 and a maximum request of $2,500,000. The reimbursement ratio will be:
Tier III funds 75% / local match 25%. Public Works staff is proposing the preparation of
Approval to Submit Applications for Measure "A" Highway 111 Fier III Funding

applications for Tier III construction funding for the two projects identified on the
attached list and vicinity map.
Project "A" Project "A" addresses several issues that, when completed, will
optimize traffic flow, improve rideability, standardize markings, and provide for ADA
compliance on Highway 111. Project "A" has not yet been designed and the
construction is not budgeted. Public Works requests an appropriation of $4,250,000 for
design and construction of Project "A". If the project is funded with Tier III Measure A
funds, CVAG will reimburse $2.5 million.
Project "B" Project "B" addresses two sites that are already budgeted for
improvements. Additionally, the City received CMAQ grants totaling $1.3 million for the
project. By utilizing Tier III Measure A funds to match the previously approved CMAQ
funds, City funds may be used for other projects. No additional appropriation is required
for this project.
Staff therefore requests that City Council authorize the submission of applications to
CVAG for consideration for Tier III funding of the above -named projects.
