CONSENT CALENDAR: (Item 1)

 

The following item may be enacted by one motion.  There will be no separate discussion on this item unless a Council Member so requests, in which event the item will be removed from the consent calendar and considered in its normal sequence on the agenda. A roll call vote is required for the consent calendar.

 

1.      BId Schedule No. 1046, Burbank Boulevard/Victory Boulevard Intersection Realignment Project, Phase 3:

 

Staff is requesting Council approval of the resolutions related to Bid Schedule (B.S.) No. 1046, Burbank Boulevard/Victory Boulevard Intersection Realignment Project, Phase 3 (RPSTPL-5200 (019)),  and thereby take the following actions:

  1. Authorize execution of a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for construction management;

  2. Authorize execution of a Construction and Maintenance Agreement with the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA);

  3. Authorize execution of a funding agreement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans);

  4. Approve a project budget amendment of $1,500,000; and,

  5. Make the necessary findings of benefit for Redevelopment Agency (Agency) funding.

Additionally, staff is requesting that the Agency Board approve a resolution providing a Fiscal Year (FY) 2004-05 budget amendment, appropriating $1.5 million from the Golden State Redevelopment Project Area Unappropriated Fund Balance.

 

On June 13, 2000, the Council approved the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Burbank Empire Center and Costco development.  This EIR identified several traffic improvements, including realigning the former Five Points intersection at Burbank Boulevard/Victory Boulevard/Victory Place.  This is the third and final phase of the Five Points project.

 

On August 10, 2004, the Council awarded a $4,545,181 contract to D. W. Powell Construction, Inc. of Fontana, California for the Phase 3 construction.  At that time, Public Works Engineering staff was evaluating proposals to provide construction management services for this phase of the project.  Staff indicated that they would return to request Council authorization to award a PSA for these services. The Burbank Boulevard Bridge widening construction is scheduled to occur between January and November 2005. 

 

Due to the Phase 3 construction, administrative complexity and aggressive schedule, full-time construction management (including inspection) services will be required, which are beyond the availability of current Public Works staffing.  A Request for Proposal to provide construction management services was advertised and four firms submitted proposals by the due date of July 30, 2004.  A Public Works selection committee rated the proposal and presentation of each firm based on their project understanding, qualifications and experience.  After a final review of references, LAN Engineering, from the City of Irvine, was selected for this project.  Staff negotiated a PSA with a fee of $618,312.37, which is 13.6 percent of the awarded construction contract amount for B.S. 1046.

 

The SCRRA Construction and Maintenance Agreement provides for SCRRA to procure, construct and maintain the required railroad material/equipment to accommodate widening the Burbank Boulevard Bridge Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) railroad right-of-way.  SCRRA has estimated a maximum Agreement amount of $147,700 charged to the City of Burbank to pay SCRRA for the requisite services. 

 

In order to receive reimbursement on the Five Points Improvement Project, the City must execute a Program Supplement Agreement No. 013-M to the existing Administering Agency-State Agreement No. 07-5200 between Caltrans and the City of Burbank.  The Program Supplement Agreement provides reimbursement of $4,636,000 in construction and construction engineering (i.e., management) for Phase 3 of the Five Points Improvement Project.

 

A project budget increase of $1,500,000 is recommended to cover the construction contract and construction management services, with a 15 percent combined contingency ($800,000); plus estimated costs for the SCRRA Construction and Maintenance Agreement, MTA License Agreement, and Burbank Water and Power water line realignment.

 

Funding for the $4,545,181 for Phase 3 construction contract is available in the Burbank Boulevard Bridge Widening Project.  The MTA granted $8,768,000 for the three phases of Burbank Boulevard/Victory Boulevard Intersection Realignment Project.  Phase 3 construction has been allocated $4,636,000 from the grant funding with Federal and State funds.

 

This project will require $1,500,000 of Agency funds from the Golden State Redevelopment Project Area Unappropriated Fund Balance to pay for the above estimated costs beyond the grant funding of $4,636,000.  In order for the Agency to fund these additional costs, certain findings must be made in accordance with California Community Redevelopment Law, Section 33445.

 

Health and Safety Code (HS) Section 33445 requires that the Council find that: 1) the use of Agency funds outside a Redevelopment Project Area is of benefit to the project area funding the improvement; 2) there is no other reasonable means of financing the improvements; 3) the redevelopment purpose served is identified; and, 4) that funding public improvements will assist in the elimination of one or more blighting conditions inside the project area or assist in providing affordable housing.  This project meets all of the HS 33445 requirements.

 

Recommendation:

 

Adoption of proposed resolution entitled:

A RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING FISCAL YEAR 2004-2005 BUDGET FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE BURBANK BOULEVARD/VICTORY BOULEVARD INTERSECTION REALIGNMENT PROJECT, PHASE 3 (BID SCHEDULE NO. 1046 � BRIDGE WIDENING PROJECT).
