Discussion:
On December 8, 2005, City Council approved Contract No. C24660 in the amount of
$739,839 with Dokken Engineering to complete the Project Report and
Environmental Documentation Phase for the proposed new interchange on
Interstate 10 (I-10) at Portola Avenue.
There are two main issues in the development of the project that are being
addressed by staff and the consultant: 1) the approval of a new connection at this
location on I-10 by Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration, and 2) the
increase in cost of the project and the additional funds required to complete the
project.
The draft New Connection Report was prepared by Dokken Engineering and
recently submitted to Caltrans for review. The final New Connection Report is
scheduled to be submitted to the FHWA in Washington D.C. in March 2008 and will
take four to six months to receive approval. In the past few years, FHWA has
increased its scrutiny of any proposed new interchange on an Interstate highway.
The Project Study Report prepared by Caltrans in April 2005, established the cost of
the project at approximately $50 million. This estimate includes design, right-of-way
acquisition, and construction costs. The updated Project Report estimate prepared
by Dokken Engineering for the project is approximately $72 million. The primary
reasons for the increase in estimated project cost are:
• The 3% yearly inflation cost applied to the construction cost to year of
construction.
• The significant increase in structural concrete costs due to unprecedented
inflation of concrete and steel.
• The addition of 24 feet bridge width to accommodate eastbound and
westbound turn lanes to I-10 as recommended in the approved traffic study.
• Increased right-of-way acquisition costs due to inflation and addition of turn
lanes on realigned Varner road as recommended in the approved traffic
study.
The project is programmed to receive 75% funding from CVAG and has received
$1.2 million in STP Local Funds. The City has also budgeted $12.5 million in RDA
funds. This results in an approximate $4.5 million funding shortfall. Staff has been
lobbying and requesting federal and county funds. Staff has recently met with
Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack's staff and submitted a Fiscal Year 2009
Appropriation Request Form. Staff has also met with County Engineering staff to
discuss funding opportunities. However, the federal and state funding picture looks
in the near future to be very bleak. Staff will continue to pursue funding from these
and other sources.

CVAG Reimbursement Agreements
On February 26, 2007, the CVAG Executive Committee authorized an Interchange
Preparation Fund to support the concept of preparing freeway interchanges for
project readiness. The Portola Avenue Interstate 10 Interchange project qualifies for
this fund. CVAG's participation on this project is limited to 75% of the cost of the
Project Approval/Environmental Document Phase of the project in a not-to-exceed
amount of $1.5 million. The attached agreement between the City and CVAG
establishes the various criteria under which the reimbursement will occur.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to
execute the reimbursement agreement.
The attached agreement between the City and CVAG establishes the various criteria
under which the reimbursement will occur for project design, right-of-way acquisition,
and construction costs. The agreement provides for reimbursement of 75% of
project costs in an amount not to exceed $54,075,000. The agreement identifies
that the project will receive funding in Fiscal Year 2012/2013, upon availability of
funds. There may be, however, the opportunity to receive advance funding to meet
the current project schedule. Staff, therefore, recommends that City Council
approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the reimbursement agreement.
Caltrans Cooperative Agreement
The attached Cooperative Agreement between the City and Caltrans outlines the
roles and responsibilities for the Project Approval/Environmental Documentation,
Final Design, and Right-of-Way Acquisition Phases of the project. A future
cooperative agreement will be executed for the Construction Phase. Staff
recommends that City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the
agreement.

CVAG - CITY OF PALM DESERT REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
PORTOLA AVENUE/ INTERSTATE 10 INTERCHANGE PROJECT
PROJECT APPROVAL/ ENVIRONMENTA! DOCUMENT PHASE
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this day of , 2008, by
and befinreen the City of Palm Desert ("Agency"), and the Coachella Valley Association of
Governments ("CVAG"), a California joint powers agency, and is made with reference to the
following background facts and circumstances:
The "Coachella Valley Area Transportation Study,"a valley-wide study prepared under the
auspices of CVAG, has identified various transportation and highway projects throughout the
Coachella Valley as projects of regional importance. These projects are listed in the 2005 Update
Transportation Project Prioritization Study document; and
Approval of a highway financing measure by the voters of Riverside County in November,
1988, ("Measure A,")as well as the approval of an extension by the voters in November, 2000, has
created a source of funds with which to construct such projects; and
CVAG by agreement with its member agencies and with the Riverside County Transportation
Commission ("RCTC"), has been designated as the agency through which such funds are to be
conveyed and disbursed for the purpose of completing said regional transportation projects; and
The CVAG Executive Committee, on July 31, 2006, approved the implementation of the
amended Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee ("TUMF") Ordinance to increase the collected
TUMF, effective January 1, 2007.
Under CVAG's policy of funding eligible projects by member jurisdictions, effective January
1, 2007, a jurisdiction pays one-quarter of the eligible costs (the "Jurisdiction One-Quarter") and
CVAG pays the other three-quarters(the"CVAG Three-Quarters"). Historically, the CVAG Three-
Quarters has been paid as a reimbursement to the jurisdiction, as invoices are submitted and
approved.
CVAG has determined that as to member jurisdictions that do not participate in the
TUMF program, projects will continue to go forward under the existing Reimbursement Policy.
The Executive Committee, on February 26, 2007, authorized an Interchange Preparation
Fund to support the concept of preparing interchanges for project readiness. This Project is an
interchange that will qualify for this Interchange Preparation Fund.
CVAG's participation in each interchange project is limited to $1.5 Million. CVAG will pay
75%of this"Project Approval/Environmental Document Phase of the project. Once the Project
Study Report has been completed, Agency can approach CVAG with a request to proceed to the
Project Report and Environmental Document stage.This staqe will reauire that a fundinq source for
construction of the interchanqe be identified before the proiect will be allowed to proceed.This is an
important element for continuation of the project since the Environmental Document has only a short
shelf life, three to five years.

Contract No. C27330A
In accordance with current policy, CVAG will pay 75% of project costs up to the $1.5 Million
amount, and the jurisdiction initiating the request to enter the Interchange Preparation Fund
Agreement with Agency will be responsible for the remaining 25%of costs, and any costs in excess
of$2 Million. This would be the limit of the proposed Interchange Preparation Fund Agreement.
Agency desires to proceed with a project known as Portola Avenue/ Interstate 10
Interchanqe Phase I "Proiect Approval/ Environmental Document" (the "Project"). CVAG's
share of the Project costs is not-to-exceed$ 1,500,000. Agency shall only submit the costs related

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This section of the procedures manual outlines the process which shall be followed in
determining project costs and project expense eligibility which has been approved to be
constructed as part of the Coachella Valley Regional Transportation Program.
This section was developed by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG)
Transportation Technical Advisory Sub-Committee(TTAS). The primary purpose of this section
is to provide a guideline for agencies to make application for a project for both Measure A and
Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF)funding.
The project development process starts with an agency-initiated study after a highway
improvement need has been identified.
The estimates for projects identified as part of the Regional Transportation Plan are addressed in
the 2005 Update of the Regional Arterial Cost Estimate(RACE), dated February, 2006 and shall
be updated biannually as part of the TUMF review process.
2.0 COST ESTIMATE DEFINITIONS
! Construction An updated cost estimate for the costs to build the improvement per the
approved plans and specifications.
! Engineering Engineering costs will usually be estimated on the basis of a percentage
of the estimated construction costs.
! Right-of-Way Expenditures for right-of-way are to be prepared with an accuracy
comparable to standards in the industry. Overhead charges need not be
included.
! Scheduling Indicate status of project, giving a tentative schedule for engineering,
right-of-way acquisition and construction. Discuss project phasing, if
planned.
3.0 PROJECT IDENTIFICATION
Any project which is to be submitted for review and funding shall meet or provide all of the
following:
! The proposed project shall appear on the approved 2005 Update Transportation Project
Prioritization Study updated list of projects.
! The project shall be clearly identified showing, as a minimum, the limits of the project, scope
of work, anticipated start and completion dates, estimated project cost and funding sources.
! A general statement of the project. Why it is needed, etc.
! A preliminary design estimate for all design services.
! A preliminary construction cost estimate, to be updated once design is completed.
! A preliminary construction management and Agency project management cost estimate.
4.0 RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION AND OTHER ASSOCIATED COSTS
All right-of-way acquisition and other associated costs, including appraisals and any other costs
allowed by state and federal law, are eligible for regional funding.

2007 Page15
Contract No. C27330A
Page16
The agency will further submit a detailed list of costs associated with the right-of-way acquisition
to CVAG for review and comment. CVAG will assess each cost and determine its eligibility for
regional funding. All protests shall be sent to the Transportation Technical Advisory Sub-
Committee for further review. All protests must be in writing and the grounds for protest clearly
identified.
Where the likelihood of extensive right-of-way acquisition exists or the need for extensive
relocation of homes and businesses, or in the case of new roadway extensions or openings or
other extenuating physically or economical restraints so warrant, preliminary engineering,
alignment and traffic studies shall be eligible for reimbursement or funding from regional funds.
"Any excess property purchased to secure the necessary right-of-way for the Project will be
shared befinreen the Agency and the Regional Arterial Program proportionately according to the
funding of the purchase by each jurisdiction participating in the project. Excess property will be
disposed of in the best interests of the Regional Arterial Program, in order to recapture funds
expended. Any recaptured funds will reduce the overall cost of the projecY'.
5.0 PROJECT LIMITS
The lead agency submitting a proposed project for review and funding shall clearly identify the
project limits. The limits of the project shall be defined as the beginning and the end of the
construction. If more than one beginning and/or ending is necessary, clearly indicate that on the
statement of the project limits.
A vicinity map shall be included with the project submittal package identifying where the project is
located.
6.0 PROJECT FUNDING SOURCE
Project funding will come from both regional Measure A revenues and TUMF collected by CVAG
member agencies. Other sources of funding may include local funds from the agency proposing
the project, local gas tax funds, ISTEA funds, redevelopment funds, etc.
All funding sources should be considered by the agency prior to project submittal to CVAG for
funding from the Regional system funds. CVAG will advance fund, for TUMF jurisdictions, a
project up to 100% of the total approved, eligible, estimated project cost. Project contingency
funds will not be funded. However, any additional costs incurred due to any change in scope of
work may be submitted to CVAG for funding eligibility, and will be processed through CVAG's
committee structure for approval.

CVAG - CITY OF PALM DESERT
FUTURE (FISCAL YEAR 2012/2013) REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
"PORTOLA AVENUE/ INTERSTATE 10 INTERCHANGE
DESIGN, RIGHT-OF-WAY & CONSTRUCTION
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this day of ,
2008, by and between the City of Palm Desert ("Agency"), and the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments ("CVAG"), a California joint powers agency, and is
made with reference to the following background facts and circumstances:
The "Coachella Valley Area Transportation Study," a valley-wide study prepared
under the auspices of CVAG, has identified various transportation and highway projects
throughout the Coachella Valley as projects of regional importance. These projects are
listed in the 2005 Update Transportation Project Prioritization Study document; and
Approval of a highway financing measure by the voters of Riverside County in
November, 1988, ("Measure A,") as well as the approval of an extension by the voters in
November, 2000, has created a source of funds with which to construct such projects;
and
CVAG by agreement with its member agencies and with the Riverside County
Transportation Gommission ("RCTC"), has been designated as the agency through
which such funds are to be conveyed and disbursed for the purpose of completing said
regional transportation projects; and
The CVAG Executive Committee, on July 31, 2006, approved the implementation
of the amended Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee ("TUMF") Ordinance to increase
the collected TUMF, effective January 1, 2007.
Under CVAG's policy of funding eligible projects by member jurisdictions,
effective January 1, 2007, a jurisdiction pays one-quarter of the eligible costs (the
"Jurisdiction One-Quarter") and CVAG pays the other three-quarters (the "CVAG Three-
Quarters"). Historically, the CVAG Three-Quarters has been paid as a reimbursement
to the jurisdiction, as invoices are submitted and approved.
CVAG has determined that as to member jurisdictions that do not participate in
the TUMF program, projects will continue to go forward under the existing
Reimbursement Policy.
Agency desires to proceed with a project known as "Portola Avenue/ Interstate
10 Interchanqe" (the "Project"). The total estimated project cost is $72,100,000, of
which the City of Palm Desert is responsible for 25%. CVAG's share is 75% of project
cost.
' Contract No. C27330B
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and subject to the
conditions contained herein, the parties do agree as follows:
1. The program embodied in this Agreement for the reimbursement of funds
by CVAG shall apply only to those regional arterial projects that have heretofore been
identified in the CVAG 2005 updated list of projects. The Project is one of those
projects and is therefore eligible. This project will receive future funding in Fiscal
Year 2012/2013 contingent upon the availability of funds.
2. The Project is generally described and referred to as "Portola Avenue/
Interstate 10 Interchanqe", hereinafter the "Project."
3. Any excess property purchased to secure the necessary right-of-way for
the Project will be deemed to belong to the Regional Arterial Program. Excess property
will be disposed of in the best interests of the Regional Arterial Program in order to
recapture funds expended.
4. The scope of work for the Project is more particularly described in Exhibit
"A," entitled "Scope of Services," attached hereto and made a part hereof. The cost
estimate for the Project is more particularly described in Exhibit "B," entitled
"Estimate of Cost," attached hereto and made a part hereof. The cost estimate includes
a calculation intended to allow Agency to recover an amount representing the time of its
employed staff in working on the Project, as well as the amount Agency shall pay to
outside contractors in connection with the Project. Subject to the terms herein and all
applicable rules regarding allowed costs, the amount of the Jurisdiction One-Quarter
and the CVAG Three-Quarters shall be calculated by reference to the cost estimates as
shown on Exhibit "B." Exhibit "C," attached hereto and made a part hereof, is the
"Project Schedule."
5. It is the agreement between CVAG and Agency that, of the total Agency
share for the cost of the Project ($72,100,000), CVAG shall pay not-to-exceed
$54,075,000, and Agency shall pay its remaining Jurisdiction One-Quarter of covered
costs, as well as one hundred percent (100%) of all costs not eligible for reimbursement
by CVAG.
6. Agency agrees to seek reimbursement of seventy-five percent of only
those costs, up to the not-to-exceed limit, which are eligible for reimbursement by
CVAG, as outlined in Section IV, "Cost Determination/Expense Eligibility," of the CVAG
Policies and Procedures Manual.
6.1 Agency shall be responsible for initial payment of all covered costs
as they are incurred. Following payment of such costs, Agency shall submit invoices to
CVAG requesting reimbursement of seventy-five percent of those eligible costs
associated with the Project. Each invoice shall be accompanied by detailed contractor
invoices, or other demands for payment addressed to Agency, and documents
evidencing Agency's payment of the invoices or demands for payment. Agency shall
also submit a Project Completion Report, in a form acceptable to CVAG, with each
statement. Agency shall submit invoices not more often than monthly and not less
often than quarterly.
Contract No. C27330B
6.2 Agency shall, at the design stage of the Project, identify a project
specific ratio "Project Ratio" for the construction phase of the project that distinguish
between Capacity Enhancement items, Rehabilitation items or other items.
Agency shall apply that "Project Ratio" to the project construction cost and
provide CVAG with supporting documents that will clearly identify "Capacity
Enhancement" costs eligible for payment with TUMF, "Rehabilitation" costs eligible for
payment with Measure "A", and other costs that are not eligible for reimbursement by
CVAG.
All Invoices submitted to CVAG for reimbursement, shall include a table
identifying "Capacity EnhancemenY' costs eligible for payment with TUMF,
"Rehabilitation" costs eligible for payment with Measure "A", and other costs that are not
eligible for reimbursement by CVAG.

additional documentation or explanation of the Project costs. Undisputed
reimbursement amounts shall be paid by CVAG to Agency within thirty (30) days.
6.4 If a post-payment audit or review indicates that CVAG has provided
reimbursement to Agency in an amount in excess of seventy-five percent of eligible
costs, or has provided reimbursement of ineligible Project costs, Agency shall reimburse
CVAG for the excess or ineligible payments within thirty (30) days of notification by
CVAG.
7. Prior to any final payment to Agency by CVAG, a final report shall be
submitted to CVAG by Agency containing a record of all payments made for said
Project and the source of funds of all such payments, together with a record of all
change orders, cost over-runs, and other expenses incurred. Final payment will
thereafter be paid by CVAG in accordance with its rules, regulations and policies
concerning project cost determination and expense eligibility.
8. The format used for all bids solicited by Agency for the Project shall
require itemization sufficient to allow quantities of each bid item to be easily discernible.
It shall be the responsibility of Agency to determine what quantity is for Capacity
Enhancement and/or Rehabilitation, and to provide CVAG staff with that information.
9. The parties agree that should unforeseen circumstances arise which result
in new work not covered in Exhibit "A," an increase of any costs over those shown in
Exhibit "B," or other changes in the Scope of Work are proposed, CVAG will in good
faith consider an amendment to this Agreement to provide for further appropriate
reimbursement if the proposed amendment is in accordance with the policies,
procedures, and cost determination/expense eligibility criteria adopted by CVAG.
10. Agency shall maintain an accounting of all funds received from CVAG
pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Agency agrees to keep all Project contracts and records for a period of not
less than three years from the date a notice of completion is filed by the Agency on such
Contract No. C27330B
Project; or, if the Project is not one as to which a notice of completion would normally be
recorded, for three years from the date of completion. Agency shall permit CVAG, at
any reasonable time, upon reasonable notice, to inspect any records maintained in
connection with the Project. CVAG shall have no duty to make any such inspection and
shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of making or not making any such
inspection.
11. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall, at
CVAG's option, constitute an event of default and Agency shall provide CVAG with
immediate notice thereof.

existence or insolvency of Agency; the commencement of any proceeding under any
bankruptcy or insolvency law by or against Agency; entry of a court order which enjoins,
restrains or in any way prevents Agency from paying sums owed to creditors.
12. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach by one party hereunder shall
be implied from any omission by the other party to take action on account of such
default, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in
the waiver and the waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent therein
stated. Waivers of any covenant, term, or condition contained herein shall not be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or
condition. The consent or approval by one party to or of any act by the other party shall
not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent or approval to or of any
subsequent or similar act.
13. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and
benefit of CVAG and Agency and no third person shall have any right of action under
this Agreement.
14. It is the intent of the Agency and CVAG that the Project be represented as
being funded by Measure "A"/TUMF funds. All public notices, news releases, and
documents shall indicate that the Project is being cooperatively developed by the
Agency, RCTC, and CVAG using Measure "A"/TUMF funds. Prior to initiation of on-site
construction, Agency agrees to provide at least one "Project Sign" to be placed in a safe

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This section of the procedures manual outlines the process which shall be followed in
determining project costs and project expense eligibility which has been approved to
be constructed as part of the Coachella Valley Regional Transportation Program.
This section was developed by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments
(CVAG) Transportation Technical Advisory Sub-Committee (TTAS). The primary
purpose of this section is to provide a guideline for agencies to make application for a
project for both Measure A and Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF)
funding.
The project development process starts with an agency-initiated study after a
highway improvement need has been identified.
The estimates for projects identified as part of the Regional Transportation Plan are
addressed in the 2005 Update of the Regional Arterial Cost Estimate (RACE), dated
February, 2006 and shall be updated biannually as part of the TUMF review process.
2.0 COST ESTIMATE DEFINITIONS
, Construction An updated cost estimate for the costs to build the improvement
per the approved plans and specifications.
. Engineering Engineering costs will usually be estimated on the basis of a
percentage of the estimated construction costs.
, Right-of-Way Expenditures for right-of-way are to be prepared with an
accuracy comparable to standards in the industry. Overhead
charges need not be included.
, Scheduling Indicate status of project, giving a tentative schedule for
engineering, right-of-way acquisition and construction. Discuss
project phasing, if planned.
3.0 PROJECT IDENTIFICATION
Any project which is to be submitted for review and funding shall meet or provide all
of the following:
. The proposed project shall appear on the approved 2005 Update Transportation
Project Prioritization Study updated list of projects.
, The project shall be clearly identified showing, as a minimum, the limits of the
project, scope of work, anticipated start and completion dates, estimated project
cost and funding sources.
. A general statement of the project. Why it is needed, etc.
Page 15
Contract No. C27330B
. A preliminary design estimate for all design services.
, A preliminary construction cost estimate, to be updated once design is completed.
. A preliminary construction management and Agency project management cost
estimate.
4.0 RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION AND OTHER ASSOCIATED COSTS
All right-of-way acquisition and other associated costs, including appraisals and any
other costs allowed by state and federal law, are eligible for regional funding.
The agency will further submit a detailed list of costs associated with the right-of-way
acquisition to CVAG for review and comment. CVAG will assess each cost and
determine its eligibility for regional funding. All protests shall be sent to the
Transportation Technical Advisory Sub-Committee for further review. All protests
must be in writing and the grounds for protest clearly identified.
Where the likelihood of extensive right-of-way acquisition exists or the need for
extensive relocation of homes and businesses, or in the case of new roadway
extensions or openings or other extenuating physically or economical restraints so
warrant, preliminary engineering, alignment and traffic studies shall be eligible for
reimbursement or funding from regionat funds.
Any excess property purchased to secure the necessary right-of-way will be deemed
to belong to the Regional Arterial Program. Excess property will be disposed of in
the best interests of the Regional Arterial Program, in order to recapture funds
expended. Any recaptured funds will reduce the overall cost of the project.
5.0 PROJECT LIMITS
The lead agency submitting a proposed project for review and funding shall clearly
identify the project limits. The limits of the project shall be defined as the beginning
and the end of the construction. If more than one beginning and/or ending is
necessary, clearly indicate that on the statement of the project limits.
A vicinity map shall be included with the project submittal package identifying where
the project is located.
6.0 PROJECT FUNDING SOURCE
Project funding will come from both regional Measure A revenues and TUMF
collected by CVAG member agencies. Other sources of funding may include local
funds from the agency proposing the project, local gas tax funds, ISTEA funds,
redevelopment funds, etc.
All funding sources should be considered by the agency prior to project submittal to
CVAG for funding from the Regional system funds. CVAG will advance fund, for
TUMF jurisdictions, a project up to 100% of the total approved, eligible, estimated
Page 16
