ACTION: CITY OF SANTA MONICA MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE EXPO II LINE
Heading
RECOMMENDATION
Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to execute the Memorandum of Understanding for Operation and Maintenance Agreement (OMA) between Metro (Authority) and The City of Santa Monica (Attachment A).
Background
ISSUE
As the Exposition II Line is in full operation, general coordination and roles and responsibilities as to operational and maintenance elements between the Authority and the City of Santa Monica need to be memorialized. Hence an Operation and Maintenance Agreement (OMA) is recommended for execution of said services.
Discussion
DISCUSSION
Similar to a previously executed OMA with the City of Long Beach for the Metro Blue Line, this OMA describes the roles, responsibilities, and obligations of both parties and specifies (a) the procedures which the Authority and City of Santa Monica will follow for elements associated with the operation of the EXPO II line. Such elements include general coordination, resolving operational elements, meeting accommodations, permitting requirements, and other type of tasks in order for the Authority to continue operating the EXPO II line and (b) the manner in which City of Santa Monica will be reimbursed for its costs of reimbursable activities. The Authority and City of Santa Monica agree that each will cooperate with the other in all activities covered by the OMA. Work performed by City of Santa Monica under this OMA shall be per the work orders to be issued by the Authority on a yearly basis.
Support by the City of Santa Monica is both necessary and essential to the continued operation of the EXPO II line.
Alternatives Considered
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
The Board may choose not to execute this OMA, however not executing this OMA would not solidify each of the parties roles and responsibilities from an operational standpoint as well as would require Metro to follow standard over the counter processes and therefore not benefit from streamlined processes, and other administration benefits identified within the OMA. All of which are essential elements from a successful operational standpoint.
Financial_Impact
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for said Authority commitments identified within the OMA are within the operational and maintenance budget of the EXPO II line.
