SUBJECT: Approval of Cooperative Agreement With Caltrans - Scripps
Poway Parkway East
BACKGROUND
The Scripps Poway Parkway East project is progressing on schedule. Final
design has progressed past City and County initial plan checking. However,in
order for Caltrans staff to initiate plan review of the portion of this
project on Highway 67, we must first execute a "Cooperative Agreement"
(Attachment 1) specifying our respective responsibilities.
Ordinarily, Caltrans completes their Project Studies Report/Project Report
(PSR/PR) prior to drafting a Cooperative Agreement. Subsequent to a Partnering
Workshop, in the spirit of cooperation, Caltrans initiated a Cooperative
Agreement Report to allow early drafting of the project's Cooperative
Agreement. The PSR/PR is progressing well, but early execution of the
Cooperative Agreement is necessary to allow us to maintain our aggressive
schedule.
FINDINGS
This Agreement provides for the construction of the intersection of Scripps
Poway Parkway/Highway 67 and widening of approximately 3,000 linear feet of
Highway 67, all within existing and proposed State right of way, under an
Encroachment Permit. It stipulates full funding of the project by Poway.
Caltrans will review and approve plans and specifications for all work within
their jurisdiction. Caltrans staff will provide inspection activities during
construction for the work within Caltrans right of way.
Caltrans agrees to provide, at no cost to the City, the PSR/PR, oversight of
the project, oversight of ri ht of wa activities and an encroachment

Agreement prepared by Caltrans and find it to be consistent with our prior
discussions during the project scoping and environmental studies. The
Agreement, as proposed, should allow us to complete this critical segment of
this important roadway on-time and within our budget.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this project have been budgeted with the overall improvement program
for Scripps Poway Parkway East.

District 11
Sub~, Cooperative Agreement Report - State Route 67/Scripps poway
Parkway
1. Introduction
This report proposes a cooperative agreement between the
city of poway (City) and the state of California (state). The
District is currently preparing a Project study Report/Project
Report (PSR/PR) for a locally funded project to construct a
signalized intersection on state Route 67 :(SR 67) near the
existing Rio Maria Road intersection (P.M. 13.6) in San Diego
County (see Exhibits 1 and 2). This project has been initiated
- as part of the city of poway's project to complete the
construction of a 4-lane arterial (Scripps poway Parkway) between
Interstate 15 (1-15) and SR 67. The proposed project would
require widening and channelizing existing SR 67 north and south
of the proposed connection and the construction of a signalized
intersection. Construction of this 100 percent locally funded
project is tentatively scheduled for the 1995/96 fiscal year,
based on the accelerated project schedule by the City of Poway.
This Cooperative Agreement Report will be the authorizing
document to execute the cooperative agreement for the design
activities by the City and the oversight activities by the State.
II. Problem
~u 1989 the City of poway established a Transportation Task
Force to identify the current and future transportation needs for
the city's circulation system. The task force determined that
the City's circulation system was not adequate to accommodate the
projected growth in the area. As part of the Transportation Task
Force recommendations, a conceptual alignment for scripps poway
Parkway and the intersection with SR 67 was to be added to the
City's General Plan.
The proposed project would increase the capacity of the
existing transportation corridor between 1-15 and SR 67 in order
to accommodate projected growth in the area and throughout the
reglon.
JAN 3 1995 ITEM 21
15 of 20
III. Proposal
This project proposes that the city of poway construct
Scripps poway Parkway to terminate at a signalized intersection
on SR 67, near the existing SR 67/Rio Maria Road intersection
(see Exhibit 3). The intersection improvements include widening
and channelization on SR 67 to provide adequate deceleration and
storage, installation of a signalized intersection, connection to
the realigned Rio Maria Road (work by others) and upgrading the
vertical alignment and shoulder widths on SR 67 to meet current
design standards.
The total capital cost for the proposed intersection
improvements within Caltrans right of way is estimated at
$6.3 million (1994 dollars), including right of way and
eng~neer~ng.
The Scripps Poway Parkway alignment (over 3 miles in length)
and the improvements along SR 67 will require construction as one
project to allow for a balance of earthwork. This would require
the entire project to be administered either by Caltrans or the
City. Although the improvements within Caltrans right of way are
over one million dollars, the project will be developed following
the encroachment permit process.
The project has been tentatively identified as a Category 4A
project due to the need for substantial right-of-way acquisition.
IV. Environmental processinq
The City of poway is responsible for meeting the appropriate
CEQA requirements for the entire project. Caltrans is considered
a responsible agency and will require the approved environmental
permits prior to issuance of the Caltrans encroachment permit.
The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Scripps poway
Parkway project and the intersection at SR 67 was
approved/certified in February 1994 by the City of Poway.
Coordination has occurred between Ca1trans and the City during
the preparation of the studies and the EIR review periods. The
mitigation commitments by the City of Poway are outlined in the
EIR and the CEQA Findings.
V. Riqht of Way and utilities
The City of Poway will perform all right-of-way activities
and utility relocations at no cost to the State. The State will
perform oversight of the right-of-way process at no cost to the
city.

VI. Adequacv
-
Construction of Scripps poway Parkway and the intersection
at SR 67 will meet the future transportation needs of the
City of poway and the region.
VII. Alternate Solutions
A formal CEQA level review of the alternatives was conducted
by the city with certification of the ErR and selection of the
preferred alignment in February 1994. The formal selection of
the preferred alignment (EIR Alignment Bl) was certified by the
City of poway in the adopted Resolution No. 94-015. The No-Build
Alternative would not meet the future transportation needs for
the city's circulation system, accommodate the anticipated growth
in the area, or alleviate the anticipated congestion problems
within the City of Poway.
VIII. Participation
The City of poway will be responsible to perform all design
activities, allow for project coordination and reviews by the
State, and provide 100 percent funding of the project costs. The
State will provide oversight for the project activities that are
within the State's current or future jurisdiction at no cost to
the city.
-
This report covers only the preparation and the oversight of
the project design ("1" Phase) activities. It is anticipated
that the City will administer the construction contract for the
entire project, and Caltrans staff will perform inspection
activities during construction for the work within Caltrans right
of way. Responsibility for the construction activities will be
outlined as part of a separate future agreement.
IX. Benefits
See Adequacy section.
X. Method of Accomplishment
The City has proposed an accelerated project schedule to
expedite the delivery of this project. At this time, the City
has begun the design activities and anticipates the application
for the encroachment permit and the submittal of the final design
plans in January 1995. Oversight activities will begin
subsequent to the execution of the cooperative agreement to
authorize the work.
Assignment of responsibility for the work and funding of the
project activities was outlined in the Participation section.
