RECOMMENDATION
Title
AUTHORIZE execution of Amendment No. 4 to the Funding Agreement between the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority ("Authority") and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("Metro") to reflect the allocation of $798,000,000 of the California State Transportation Agency ("CalSTA") Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program ("TIRCP") formula funding authorized by Senate Bill 125 ("SB125 Funds").

ISSUE
The Authority is responsible for the design and construction of the Gold Line Foothill Extension Phase 2B2 Project ("Project"), a proposed extension of the Metro A Line from Pomona to Montclair, which will directly serve two counties. At its December 2022 meeting, the Board prioritized the ranking of projects for state discretionary funding and identified a need for $798 million for the Los Angeles County portion of the Project. Funding for the Project in San Bernardino County is to be provided by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority ("SBCTA"). Upon completion of the Project, the Construction Authority is to handover the Project to Metro to operate and maintain. Responsibilities and guidelines for allocation of the funds and the specific commitments by the Authority and Metro are established by a Funding Agreement and a Master Cooperative Agreement (MCA) between the two agencies.
The Authority's procurement process for Phase 2B2 to seek a potential Design-Build Contractor for the design and construction of the Project is ongoing, and an amendment to the Funding Agreement is needed to document the allocation of the award of SB 125 Funds to Metro for this Project.
