Salinas Rail Project Storm Drain Reimbursement Agreement Extension 

1. APPROVE and AUTHORIZE Executive Director to extend the agreement with the City of Salinas to reimburse for storm drain relocation work associated with the Salinas Intermodal Transportation Center project by six months, to December 31, 2019, with no increase in budget;
2. AUTHORIZE the Executive Director to take such other further actions as may be necessary to fulfill the intent of the agreement, including approvals of future modifications or amendments that do not significantly alter the scope of work, or change the approved term or amount, subject to approval by Agency Counsel.

This agreement extension will accommodate the City's delays to date relocating storm drains in the Caltrans right-of-way (Market Street) associated with the TAMC project to improve the Salinas Intermodal Transportation Center as part of the Monterey County Rail Extension project.

The total cost of the agreement is not to exceed Eighty-Nine Thousand, Three Hundred and Fifteen Dollars ($89,315), based on plans reviewed by both TAMC and City. The design is estimated to cost $14,065 and can be funded with design funding from the approved project budget. The construction is estimated to cost $75,250, and is an eligible use of funds from the approved project budget for the construction. This amendment does not change the cost of the agreement, as originally approved by the TAMC Board on December 5, 2018.

The first construction package of the Salinas Intermodal Transportation Center Project will extend Lincoln Avenue across West Market Street (State Route 183) for site access and circulation, construct and improve surface parking lots, install bicycle storage, and designate loading berths for Monterey-Salinas Transit, Greyhound, Amtrak, and other buses.

Separate from but concurrent with the station Project, the City of Salinas is relocating the main storm drain from Station Place into the new alignment of Lincoln Avenue. TAMC and the City agreed that it is in the best interests of the parties and the public that the City perform the storm drain relocation required by the Project, and that TAMC reimburse the City for such work, as shown in the executed agreement online as a web attachment, approved by the TAMC Board on December 5, 2018 and by the City Council on December 18, 2018.

In the time since the agreement was finalized, the City:

• Approved the design plans on January 8, 2019;
• Received the Caltrans encroachment permit on April 17, 2019 (after three design revisions to accommodate unexpected utility conflicts and in response to Caltrans comments);
• Approved a contract with MPE to perform the storm drain relocation on April 30, 2019; and
• Executed the contract on May 28, 2019.

The current storm drain relocation project schedule anticipates completion of construction by August 8, 2019. As closing out construction contracts can take some time, staff recommends an extension of this agreement to December 31, 2019 to allow sufficient time for reviewing, resolving, and paying invoices.

Attached is the draft amendment #1 to extend the agreement to December 31, 2019.
