SUBJECT
(CD 4) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount of $100,000.00 for the Western Center Boulevard at Sandshell Boulevard Traffic Signal
Project and Amend the Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (2022 Bond Program)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting appropriations in the 2022 Bond Program Fund in the amount of $100,000.00 by
increasing appropriations in the Western Center Boulevard at Sandshell Boulevard project (City Project No. 103999) and by decreasing
appropriations in the Traffic Signals programmable project (City Project No. PB0006) by the same amount; and
2. Amend the Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
In June 2022, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 22-0539 authorized the execution of engineering services agreements for five new traffic
signals. This projects scope includes the design and construction of a new traffic signal, including accessible pedestrian signals (APS),
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps, and median modifications at the intersection of Western Center Boulevard at Sandshell Boulevard.
EARTC, Inc. will construct this signal. With the increase in prices for steel and concrete due to current market conditions, the construction cost has
increased considerably from the planning estimate. The additional funding appropriated with this M&C will cover the deficit for construction task
orders, project management, and inspection services required during construction and close-out.
The following table summarizes the funding for the Western Center Boulevard at Sandshell Boulevard project:

Funding is budgeted in the Traffic Signals programmable project within the 2022 Bond Program for the purpose of funding the Western Center &
Sandshell Signal project, as appropriated.
Funding for this project was not included in the Capital Improvement Program due to increased costs from the original estimate. The action in this
M&C will amend the Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 26453-09-2023.
This project is included in the 2022 Bond Program. The City's Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP) (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance 25675-08-2022)
provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resources will be used to actually make any interim progress payments until debt is
issued. Once debt associated with a project is sold, debt proceeds will reimburse the interim financing source in accordance with the statement
expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance 25515-05-2022).
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 4.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION 1 CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Traffic Signals programmable project within the 2022 Bond Program Fund
and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the 2022 Bond
Program Fund for the Western Center & Sandshell Sig project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Transportation & Public Works
Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
