DISCUSSION:
Fresno County and Caltrans entered into Administering Agency - State Master Agreement No. 06-5942R for Federal Aid projects, approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 13, 2007. The Master Agreement requires a PSA to be executed as each project is funded. The PSA amends the Master Agreement to designate the County as the Administering Agency for the project, identifies the amount of Federal funds requested and available to the County, and provides a basis for the State to reimburse the County for expenditures incurred during the project.
The traffic signal project at Bethel Avenue and Manning Avenue will install a four-way traffic signal at the intersection and will widen Bethel Avenue to install left turn pockets in both the northbound and southbound directions. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2017.
The Delta-Mendota bridge replacement project on Nees Avenue will replace a functionally obsolete bridge, thus eliminating a deficient bridge. The project is currently in the preliminary engineering and right-of-ways phases. The bridge is being designed by MGE Engineering, with construction of the new bridge planned in FY 2018-19.
OTHER REVIEWING AGENCIES:
Development of this project was coordinated with Caltrans and Caltrans provides oversight on projects where Federal funds are allocated.
