Riverside County is currently preparing a Slurry Seal Streets Improvement Project within the Coronita community, and there are three streets within their project that border the City of Corona. This Service Agreement will allow the City’s portion of these roads to be included in the County’s project and provide a complete and seamless finish to the streets.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action

b. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a Service Agreement with Riverside County to fund the construction of the Slurry Seal Street Improvements Project on Serfas Club Drive, Paseo Grande, and Frontage Road, including any minor and non-substantive amendments.

Body
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The recently adopted City of Corona Strategic Plan identified several goals, including providing sound infrastructure and a safe community. Providing sound infrastructure can be achieved by investing in public infrastructure, including parks, buildings, equipment, technology, and roads. As a result, the City is making investments and improvements to maintain its roads in good condition.
Some of the City streets are split at the centerline or are continuous through both the City and County. Occasionally, the County or the City may perform routine roadway maintenance near jurisdictional boundaries, and both agencies will coordinate their projects to ensure continuous and seamless repairs.
ANALYSIS:
Riverside County is currently in the process of preparing for a Slurry Seal Street Improvements Project within the Coronita community. The streets in the project that border or are continuous between the City and County include Serfas Club Drive, Paseo Grande, and Frontage Road (see Exhibit 1). These streets are split near the centerline between the City of Corona and Riverside County. Although the City’s portion of these streets are not planned to be paved within the next two years, not including the full street in the County’s project will leave an incomplete look. The addition of the City’s portion of the roads to the Riverside County project will assist with providing a complete and continuous finish to the streets, preserve the existing pavement, extend the useful life of the asphalt, and provide a smoother travel surface for motorists and pedestrians.
The Slurry Seal Street Improvements Project was competitively bid by the County and will provide a cost benefit to the City due to the County’s project covering a larger area with a greater quantity of work. City staff recommends executing the agreement with Riverside County to fund the construction cost within the City’s right-of-way.
The County’s is anticipated to award their project in January, with construction beginning in March and completed before summer.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
As specified in the agreement, the City is responsible for contributing a construction cost of $167,399.88.

Approval of the recommended action will result in an appropriation in the amount of $167,399.88 to the Annual Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project No. 69210 from within the Measure A Fund 227 for the Riverside County Street Improvements Project on Serfas Club Drive, Paseo Grande, and Frontage Road.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Statue and Guidelines, which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Approval of this agreement is a ministerial action. Therefore, no environmental analysis is needed. The County of Riverside will be the lead agency on the project and will be responsible for any environmental clearances and filing of a notice of exemption for the project.
