PW-TRAN AUTHORIZING THE PUBUC WORKS DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE A COOPERATIVE WORK AGREEMENT TO MAINTAIN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR ENCINAS DISCHARGE BRIDGE RAIUNG IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT NO. 6014 CITY MGR. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2014-261 authorizing the public works director to execute a cooperative work agreement to maintain federal funding for Encinas discharge bridge railing improvements. Project No. 6014. ITEM EXPLANATION: Bridge railing improvements are needed for a bridge located over the Encinas discharge channel (warm water jetty), approximately half-mile north of Cannon Road on Carlsbad Boulevard. Currently, no railings exist on either side of the roadway. The bridge railing will increase the safety along the bridge and it will complement the aesthetic characteristics of the existing sea wall. On April 22, 2010, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) authorized, via CalTrans Local Assistance, funds for the preliminary engineering of the bridge railing improvements for the bridge located on Carlsbad Boulevard over the Encinas discharge channel. This project has had a long design period due to permitting through the California Coastal Commission, determining ownership of the bridge, coordination with Poseidon on bridge improvement responsibility, and uncertainty on bridge integrity with the possibility of replacement. Since the authorized funds will not be fully invoiced by December 13, 2014, the local agency is required to apply for a Cooperative Work Agreement (CWA) and request an extension. Plans are anticipated to be completed by December 2015. Then federal funds for construction will be requested. FISCAL IMPACT: Unspent Federal funds are subject to disencumberment or de-obligation if a CWA is not implemented. Submitting the form will initiate the process and there is no guarantee the state will authorize the extension. The city will risk losing all or a portion of the unliquidated balance of $91,250 if the form is not submitted.
