EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Redondo Beach has received $8.8 million from LACMTA in Measure R Highway Program funds for five regional street improvement projects endorsed by the Infrastructure Working Group of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG). The projects include PCH Arterial Improvements from Anita to Palos Verdes Blvd., northbound PCH at Torrance Blvd. Right Turn Lane Improvements, westbound Palos Verdes Blvd. at PCH Right Turn Lane Improvements, northbound Aviation at Artesia Right Turn Lane Improvements, and southbound Inglewood at Manhattan Beach Blvd. Right Turn Lane Improvements.
The scope of the projects includes design, right-of-way acquisition and construction. The construction phases of the PCH/PV Blvd. Right Turn Lane Improvements Project and PCH/Torrance Blvd. Right Turn Lane Improvements project were completed on April 18, 2018 and May 19, 2020, respectively.
Each project’s funding agreement had an initial term of five years, after which extensions are granted on a year to year basis to allow for closer tracking of project progress by LACMTA. Although construction of the project at Torrance Blvd. was completed in May 2020, project closeout paperwork endured beyond the expiration date of the current funding agreement. The three other projects are in various stages of development including design and right-of-way acquisition. These four projects all require a one-year extension amendment to their funding agreement. There are no other changes to the funding agreements.
BACKGROUND
Measure R is a one-half cent sales tax approved by Los Angeles County voters in November 2008 to meet the transportation need of Los Angeles County. The City of Redondo Beach received $8,798,000 from LACMTA in Measure R Highway Program funds for five regional street improvement projects endorsed by the Infrastructure Working Group of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG). The projects and their LACMTA funding commitment include:
PCH Arterial Improvements from Anita to PV $1,400,000
PCH/Torrance Right Turn Lane Improvements $ 935,000
PCH/PV Right Turn Lane Improvements $ 389,000
Aviation/Artesia Right Turn Lane Improvements $ 869,000
Inglewood/MBB Right Turn Lane Improvements $5,205,000
Total: $8,798,000
Over the years the original funding agreements have lapsed and had to be extended with an amendment, some requiring multiple amendments due to the extended timeline required to implement the project. The original LOAs and previous amendments can be found at the following link: City of Redondo Beach - File #: 19-0553 (legistar.com) <https://redondo.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4293124&GUID=4A193DA3-1BA0-4ABB-AD9E-CABB9EDD3B18> It is likely that additional extensions may be required for some of these projects, due especially to delays in the ROW acquisition phase.
COORDINATION
The time extension amendments for all four projects have been coordinated with the SBCCOG and LACMTA. The City Attorney’s Office approved the amendments as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total allocation of the South Bay Measure R Highway Program funds to the City of Redondo Beach is $8,798,000. The funding does not require a local match, but funds are paid to the City on a cost-reimbursement basis. Neither the original Agreements nor these Amendments have any impact on the City’s General Fund.
