10. EXTENSION OF TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS ON CITY OWNED REAL PROPERTY IN THE PACIFIC CENTER EAST SPECIFIC PLAN AREA Request for authorization to execute several documents that will extend the term of two (2) existing temporary construction easements for the Orange County Transportation Authority on City owned real property in the Pacific Center East Specific Plan Area from October 2025 to April 2026 to support ongoing construction of the State Route 55 freeway widening project. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to Right of Way Contract with the Orange County Transportation Authority subject to any non-substantive modifications as may be deemed necessary and/or recommended by the City Attorney; and 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Grant of Easement to the Orange County Transportation Authority for each temporary construction easement. Fiscal Impact: For consideration of the extension of the two (2) existing temporary construction easements, the Orange County Transportation Authority will pay the City $14,200. Should the City execute the extension documents by October 8, 2025, the Orange County Transportation Authority will pay a 20% incentive equating to an additional $2,840 for a total of $17,040. The Orange County Transportation Authority provided a waiver valuation estimate to the City on July 16, 2025 conducted by the Orange County Transportation Authority's real estate consultant Monument that is based on an original appraisal report from MAI certified appraiser Sharon A. Hennessey. The City has reviewed the waiver valuation and finds its conclusions and general findings reasonable to proceed.
