GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
Approve the First Amendment to Utility Agreement No. OCSD-1005, between the Orange County Sanitation District and the Orange County Transportation Authority agreeing to a funding increase for the relocation and protection of the Redhill Relief Sewer at State Route 55 in the City of Santa Ana.

BACKGROUND
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is implementing the State Route 55 (SR-55) Improvement Project to widen SR-55 between Interstate 5 and Interstate 405. The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) owns a sewer running under SR-55 immediately south of Warner Avenue, in the City of Santa Ana.
Redhill Relief Sewer Relocation at State Route 55, Project No. FE18-13, will extend a required protective casing for the sewer and relocate a manhole out of the widened right of way. OCTA has agreed to compensate OC San for the cost of this work, as documented in a March 2020 Utility Agreement between the agencies.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
* Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders, and neighboring communities
* Protect OC San assets

PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve an Amendment to the Utility Agreement increasing the Utility Agreement's reimbursable from $1,435,000 to $2,840,000. OCTA has accepted the new upper limit.
