FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT (IF THIS IS A BUDGET TRANSFER, YOU MUST ATTACH THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FORM):
The 10th Ave Widening – Full Buildout Design Project (Project #2025024) and the Cesar Chavez Blvd Project (Project #2025054) are both funded within the same General Ledger account (200-860-90010). Therefore, no budget transfer between GL accounts is required.
However, staff will reallocate $89,500 in available project funding from the Cesar Chavez Blvd Project (Project #2025054) to the 10th Ave Widening – Full Buildout Design Project (Project #2025024) to address additional environmental requirements.
Engineering Department recently discovered that environmental clearances would be needed in order for this project to continue. Initial Burrowing Owl Survey, Class III Cultural Resources Survey, and Flat-Tailed Horned Lizard (FTHL) Project Evaluation Protocol Survey are requirements of the United States Bureau of Reclamation for right-of-way acquisition needed for the road widening project. Kimley Horn Engineering has provided a proposal of $89,500 to complete the aforementioned.
