Council Meeting: June 27, 2000 Santa Monica, California
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Recommendation to Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to
Execute an Agreement with the State of California, Department of
Transportation, for State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Grant
Funding
Introduction
This report recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City
Manager to execute an agreement with the State of California, Department of
Transportation, for State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) grant funding for
pavement rehabilitation, concrete sidewalk rehabilitation, curb and gutter repair, and
reconstruction of retaining wall on Appian Way between Moss Avenue and Seaside
Terrace.
Background
The retaining wall on the east side of the 1640 beach parking lot (aka, the ?Hot-Dog-on-a
Stick? lot) between Moss Avenue and Seaside Terrace was constructed prior to 1940. Due
to damage suffered during the 1997-98 El Nino storms, it was necessary to install
temporary steel bracing to a portion of the retaining wall in 1998 during construction of the
Moss Avenue Pumping Station to prevent collapse of the wall from heavy equipment
loadings on Appian Way. The estimated cost to replace the retaining wall is $625,000,
inclusive of design, construction and construction management.

Originally, it was anticipated the City would have to bear the full cost of replacement of the
retaining wall. However, last year, the City applied for and was awarded a STIP grant of
$428,000 toward construction of the retaining wall and repair of adjacent roadway and
sidewalk.
Discussion
Following approval of the STIP grant, the State Department of Transportation prepared a
master agreement between the City and the State describing conditions for administering
the project. The agreement has been reviewed by City staff and found to be acceptable.
The City is required to provide the State with a copy of a Council Resolution which clearly
authorizes the City Manager to execute the agreement.
Budget/Financial Impact
The revenue is reflected in FY 2000-2001 capital budget revenue account 20402.406410.
Construction of this $625,000 project is anticipated to commence in the second half of
2001. Proposed 2001-2002 capital budget account C11065802.58900 reflects
expenditures of $472,000 for this project. The Department requests an additional
appropriation of $153,000 to the FY 2000-01 Capital Improvement Project Budget for the
remaining funding needed for this project. This appropriation would be placed in account
C11065801.58900.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the
2
State of California, Department of Transportation, for State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) grant funding of pavement rehabilitation, PCC
sidewalk rehabilitation, curb and gutter repair, and reconstruction of retaining wall
on Appian Way between Moss Avenue and Seaside Terrace, in an amount of
$428,000.
