Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Construction Cooperative Agreement for US 101/Clark Avenue Interchange Improvements, Fourth District, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution approving a Cooperative Agreement (05-0342) with California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and acknowledging appropriated funds for the construction phase of the Highway 101 near Orcutt at Clark Avenue Interchange;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Cooperative Agreement No. 05-0342 with Caltrans for inspection oversight during the construction phase of the Clark/US 101 Interchange Improvements project. The total Agreement amount is $25,000.00 to be paid to Caltrans for inspection oversight and the remaining funds to pay for County’s construction costs. The Board must approve additional funds for this project, if required;
c) Approve and authorize the Public Works Director to sign the Closure Agreement, as required, to terminate the Cooperative Agreement; and
d) Find that the above recommended actions are not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review per CEQA Guideline Section 15378(b)(4), since these are government administrative activities that do not involve commitment to a specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
