CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: January 13, 1998
SUBJECT: EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SANTA
CLARITA AND SCAG FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR THE
VENTURA RAII, RESTORATION STUDY
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Building Services
City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with SCAG for
consultant services to be provided by Korve-Engineering. Agreement not to exceed $40,000.
As part of the 1997-98 budget, $40,000 in professionallcontract services was allocated for the
study of alternative alignments for reestablishing the rail line that once existed between Santa
Clarita and Ventura. Within the City limits, new development has occurred on the former right-
of-way over the past 12 years. This study will determine an alignment that may be feasible to
restore the rail line in the vicinity of Magic Mountain Parkway or Valencia Blvd., between San
Fernando Road and the I-5 freeway. An additional $45,000 from SCAG will supplement the
City's portion. A request for proposals was solicited earlier this year. Korve Engineering was
selected among seven proposals received. Because SCAG funding is involved, SCAG requires
a contract between its organization and the selected contractor. The City will pay SCAG the
$40,000; therefore, a contract between the City and SCAG is also necessary.
