City Council

8. AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF IRVINE FOR JAMBOREE ROAD AND IRVINE BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENTS Staff is requesting that the City Council approve a Cooperative Agreement with the City of Irvine for the Jamboree Road and Irvine Boulevard Intersection Improvement Project. The cities of Tustin and Irvine have identified the need to enhance traffic flow and reduce congestion at the intersection of Jamboree Road and Irvine Boulevard. Improvements for this intersection are identified and fully funded by the City of Irvine’s North Irvine Transportation Mitigation Program. Since the project delivery requires cooperation from each agency, an agreement is required to identify and implement the project improvements. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Approve Cooperative Agreement for Jamboree Road/Irvine Boulevard Intersection Improvement Project between the City of Irvine and the City of Tustin; and 2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee, the Director of Public Works, and City Clerk to execute the agreement on behalf of the City. Fiscal Impact: Sufficient funds in the amount of $2,000,000 have been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Capital Improvement Program budget for Tustin's obligated construction phase of the project. Per the agreement Tustin's total construction costs will be fully reimbursed by the City of Irvine, as the project is funded through the North Irvine Transportation Mitigation Program.
