the paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following new Paragraph 2:
"Amount of Funds Programmed (the "Funds"): $7,363,000 in

Project."
2. Part 2, Paragraph 7 of the Existing LOA is hereby amended by deleting
the phrase "funds programmed for FY 2000-01 are subject to lapse on June 30, 2004" and
replacing it with "funds programmed for FY 2000-01 are subject to lapse on June 30, 2007.

new sections to the end thereof:

Project is terminated pursuant to this section, MTA will not reimburse Project Sponsor any
costs incurred after the termination date, except those necessary to return any facilities
modified by the Project's construction to a safe state. The MTA's share of these costs will be
consistent with the established funding percentages outlined in the LOA.
14. The obligation for MTA to program the Funds for the
Project is subject to sufficient Funds being made available for the Project by the MTA Board,
the United States Government or the State of California, as applicable. If such Funds are
not made available for the Project, this LOA shall be void and have no further force and
effect, and MTA shall have no obligation to program the Funds for the Project, unless
otherwise agreed to by the MT A."
7. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Existing LOA remains in full
force and effect as originally executed. All rights and obligations of the parties under the
Existing LOA that are not expressly amended by this Amendment shall remain unchanged

ATTACHMENT C-I
SCOPE OF WORK
The configuration of the existing 1-710/1-5 freeways is such that there is no direct connection
between the northbound I-S Freeway and the southbound 1-710 Freeway, nor between the
northbound 1-710 Freeway and the southbound I-S Freeway. Therefore, Atlantic Boulevard serves
as the direct connector between the northbound I-S Freeway and the southbound I-S Freeway.
The traffic between the 1-710 Freeway and the 1-5 Freeway in these directions as well as the
traffic from the on-ramp at Atlantic Blvd. and the off-ramps to Bandini Blvd. pass through the
AtlanticlBandini Intersection and Interchange. Furthermore, the I-710/Atlantic AvenuelBandini
Boulevard Intersection and Interchange is a key link in the intermodallogistics chain between the
Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Hobart
Yards and the Union Pacific (UP) Redondo Junction Rail Yards.
Due to its mounting traffic congestion at the 1-710/ AtlanticlBandini Intersection and Interchange,
improvements to this Intersection and Interchange will: (1) reduce congestion and queuing on the
1-710; (2) significantly improve conditions for trucks traveling in and out of the BNSF and UP
rail yards; (3) assist Port-generated truck movements which exit the 1-710 at Atlantic
A ve.IBandini Blvd. to reach the BNSF and UP rail yards; and (4) help preserve a critical
manufacturing center in the Los Angeles region by facilitating the transportation of raw
materials/supplies and finished goods in and out of the area.
This project as funded consists of two phases. Phase I consists of the following elements:
· Construction of the 26th Street extension including a bridge over Atlantic Boulevard. The
extension of 26th Street will require the construction of a new City owned and maintained
bridge over exiting Atlantic Boulevard. The proposed bridge will span approximately
76.88 meters;
· Construction of the new Street, which will connect the 26th Street extension to Bandini
Boulevard; and
· Acquisition of property necessary for the before mentioned projects (363.98 meters long)
and a loop on ramp to northbound 1-710 (400 meters long).
The PAED, PS&E, and Right of Way components of the Project are funded through the State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The Funds provided under this MOU are for the
COnstruction of the Phase I component of the Project only.

5
Call for Projects - 1-710 Atlantic/Bandini Interchange Improvements, Phase I, Project#4300,
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) MOU.P0004300
3.2 Attachment C shall constitute the agreed upon Scope of Work between
MTA and the Grantee for the Project. The Funds, as granted under this MOU, can only be
used towards the completion of the Scope of Work originally adopted by the MTA Board. Any
Scope of Work changes must be approved in writing by the MTA.
3.3 Grantee shall not use the Funds to substitute for any other funds or
projects not specified in this MOU. Nor shall the Funds be used for any expenses or activities
above and beyond the approved Scope of Work (Attachment C) without an amendment to the
MOU approved and signed by the MT A Chief Executive Officer or his designee.
3.4 The Grantee must use the Funds in the most cost-effective rnanner. If
Grantee intends to use a consultant or contractor to implement all or part of the Project, the
MTA requires that such activities be procured in accordance with the Grantee's contracting
procedures and consistent with State law. The Grantee will also use the Funds in the most
cost-effective manner when the Funds are used to pay "in-house" staff time. This effective
use of funds provision will be verified by the MT A through on-going Project monitoring and
through any interim audits and the MT A fmal audit.
3.5 If Grantee desires to use the Funds to purchase/lease equipment (Le.,
vehicles, computers, etc.) necessary to perform or provide the services disclosed in the Scope of
Work, Grantee must obtain MTA's written consent prior to purchasing/leasing specific
equipment. Equipment purchased/leased without such prior written consent shall be deemed
an unallowable expenditure of the Funds. If a facility, equipment (such as computer hardware
or software), vehicle or property, purchased or leased using the Funds, ceases to be used for the
proper use as originally stated in the Scope of Work, or the Project is discontinued, any Funds
expended for that purpose must be returned to the MTA as follows: the Grantee will be
required to repay the Funds in proportion to the useful life remaining in accordance with the
Guidelines and in an equal proportion of the grant to Grantee Funding Commitment ratio.
4. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS: Disbursements shall be based on a reimbursement
basis in accordance with the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report. If the MTA makes
disbursements by wire transfer at the written request of Grantee, a fee of twenty-five dollars
per transfer will be deducted from each disbursement. The Grantee must provide the
appropriate supporting documentation with its Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report.
Grantee Funding Commitment must be spent in the appropriate proportion to MTA Funds
with each quarter's payment.
5. REPORTING AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS/PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS:
5.1 Grantee shall submit the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report 60 days
after the close of each quarter on the last day of the months November, February, May and
August. Should Grantee fail to submit such reports within 10 days of the' due date and/or
submit incomplete reports, MTA will not reimburse Grantee until the completed required
reports are received, reviewed, approved and reconciled to the Financial Plan. The Quarterly
Progress/Expenditure Report shall include all appropriate documentation (such as contractor

justification and explanation of their relevance to the Project. If no activity has occurred during
a particular quarter, Grantee will still be required to submit the Quarterly

Project must be ready for fInal audit (meaning all costs and charges have been paid by the
Grantee and invoiced to the MTA, and such costs, charges and invoices are properly
documented and summarized in the accounting records to enable an audit without further
explanation or summarization). Grantee agrees to establish and maintain proper accounting
procedures and cash management records and documents in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Grantee shall reimburse the MTA for any
expenditure not in compliance with the Scope of Work and/or not in compliance with other
terms and conditions as defined by this MOU and the Guidelines. When applicable, MTA

the Project (all collectively referred to as "records") shall be open to inspection and subject to
audit and reproduction by the MTA auditors or authorized representatives to the extent
deemed necessary by the MTA to adequately permit evaluation of expended costs. Such
records subject to audit shall also include, without limitation, those records deemed
necessary by the MT A to evaluate and verify direct and indirrect costs, (including overhead
allocations) as they may apply to costs associated with the Project. These records must be
retained by Grantee for three years following fmal payment under this Agreement.

Call for Projects - 1-710 Atlantic/Bandini Interchange Improvements, Phase I Project# 4300
Memorandum of Understanding (MOD) MOU.P0004300
ATTACHMENT C
SCOPE OF WORK
The configuration of the existing 1-710/1-5 freeways is such that there is no direct connection
between the northbound 1-5 Freeway and the southbound 1-710 Freeway, nor between the
northbound 1-710 Freeway and the southbound 1-5 Freeway. Therefore, Atlantic Boulevard serves
as the direct connector between the northbound 1-5 Freeway and the southbound 1-5 Freeway. The
traffic between the 1-710 Freeway and the 1-5 Freeway in these directions as well as the traffic
from the pn-ramp at Atlantic Blvd. and the off-ramps to Bandini Blvd. pass through the
AtIanticIBandini Intersection and Interchange. Furthermore, the 1-710/Atlantic AvenueIBandini
Boulevard Intersection and Interchange is a key link in the intermodallogistics chain between the
Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Hobart
Yards and the Union Pacific (UP) Redondo Junction Rail Yards.
Due to its mounting traffic congestion at the I-710/Atlantic/Bandini Intersection and Interchange,
improvements to this Intersection and Interchange will: (1) reduce congestion and queuing on the
1-710; (2) significantly improve conditions for trucks traveling in and out of the BNSF and UP rail
yards; (3) assist Port-generated truck movements which exit the 1-710 at Atlantic Ave.IBandini
Blvd. to reach the BNSF and UP rail yards; and (4) help preserve a critical manufacturing center
in the Los Angeles region by facilitating the transportation of raw materials/supplies and finished
goods in and out of the area.
This project as funded consists of two phases. Phase I consists of the following elements:
· Construction of the 26th Street extension including a bridge over Atlantic Boulevard. The
extension of 26th Street will require the construction of a new City owned and maintained
bridge over exiting Atlantic Boulevard. The proposed bridge will span approximately
76.88 meters;
· Construction of the new Street, which will connect the 26th Street extension to Bandini
Boulevard; and
· Acquisition of property necessary for the before mentioned projects (363.98 meters long)
and a loop on ramp to northbound 1-71 0 (400 meters long).
The P AED, PS&E, and Right of Way components of the Project are funded through the State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The Funds provided under this MOU are for the
construction of the Phase I component ofthe Project only.

3.2 Attachment C shall constitute the agreed upon Scope of Work between
MTA and the Grantee for the Project. The Funds, as granted under this MOU, can only be
used towards the completion of the Scope of Work originally adopted by the MT A Board. Any
Scope ofW ork changes must be approved in writing by the MT A.
3.3 Grantee shall not use the Funds to substitute for any other funds or
projects not specified in this MOU. Nor shall the Funds be used for any expenses or activities
above and beyond the approved Scope of Work (Attachment C) without an amendment to the
M 0 U approved and signed by the MT A Chief Executive Officer or his designee.
3.4 The Grantee must use the Funds in the most cost-effective manner. If
Grantee intends to use a consultant or contractor to implement all or part of the Project, the
MTA requires that such activities be procured in accordance with the Grantee's contracting
procedures and consistent with State law. The Grantee will also use the Funds in the most
cost-effective manner when the Funds are used to pay "in-house" staff time. This effective
use of funds provision will be verified by the MTA through on-going Project monitoring and
through any interim audits and the MT A final audit.
3.5 If Grantee desires to use the Funds to purchase/lease equipment (i.e.,
vehicles, computers, etc.) necessary to perform or provide the services disclosed in the Scope of
Work, Grantee must obtain MTA's written consent prior to purchasing/leasing specific
equipment. Equipment purchasedfleased without such prior written consent shall be deemed
an unallowable expenditure of the Funds. If a facility, equipment (such as computer hardware
or software), vehicle or property, purchased or leased using the Funds, ceases to be used for the
proper use as originally stated in the Scope of Work, or the Project is discontinued, any Funds
expended for that purpose must be returned to the MTA as follows: the Grantee will be
required to repay the Funds in proportion to the useful life remaining in accordance with the
Guidelines and in an equal proportion of the grant to Grantee Funding Commitment ratio.
4. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS: Disbursements shall be based on a reimbursement
basis in accordance with the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report. If the MTA makes
disbursements by wire transfer at the written request of Grantee, a fee of twenty-five dollars
per transfer will be deducted from each disbursement. The Grantee must provide the
appropriate supporting documentation with its Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report.
Grantee Funding Commitment must be spent in the appropriate proportion to MTA Funds
with each quarter's payment.
5. REPORTING AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS/PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS:
5.1 Grantee shall submit the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report 60 days
after the close of each quarter on the last day of the months November, February, May and
August. Should Grantee fail to submit such reports within 10 days of the' due date and/or
submit incomplete reports, MTA will not reimburse Grantee until the completed required
reports are received, reviewed, approved and reconciled to the Financial Plan. The Quarterly
Progress/Expenditure Report shall include all appropriate documentation (such as contractor

invoices, timesheets, receipts, etc.). All supporting documents must include a clear
justification and explanation of their relevance to the Project. If no activity has occurred during
a particular quarter, Grantee will still be required to submit the Quarterly
Progress/Expenditure Report indicating no dollars were expended that quarter. If a request for
reimbursement exceeds $500,000 in a single month, then Grantee can submit such an invoice
once per month with supporting documentation.
5.2 MTA, and/or its d~signee, shall have the right to conduct audits of the
Project, as needed, such as financial and compliance audits; interim audits; pre-award audits
and performance audits. MT A will commence a fmal audit within six months of formal
notification by the Grantee of completion of the scope of work; provided, however, the
Project must be ready for fmal audit (meaning all costs and charges have been paid by the
Grantee and invoiced to the MTA, and such costs, charges and invoices are properly
documented and summarized in the accounting records to enable an audit without further
explanation or summarization). Grantee agrees to establish and maintain proper accounting
. procedures and cash management records and documents in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Grantee shall reimburse the MTA for any
expenditure not in compliance with the Scope of Work and/or not in compliance with other
terms and conditions as defined by this MOU and the Guidelines. When applicable, MTA
shall consider the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) to determine whether costs incurred
are allowable. The findings of the MTA audit are final. When MTA audit findings require
Grantee to return monies to MTA, Grantee agrees to return the monies within thirty (30) days
after the final audit is sent to the Grantee.
5.3 Grantee's records shall include, without limitation, accounting records,
written policies and procedures, contract files, original estimates, correspondence, change
order files (including documentation covering negotiated settlements), invoices, and any
other supporting evidence deemed necessary by the MT A to substantiate charges related to
the Project (all collectively referred to as "records") shall be open to inspection and subject to
audit and reproduction by the MTA auditors or authorized representatives to the extent
deemed necessary by the MTA to adequately permit evaluation of expended costs. Such
records subject to audit shall also include, without limitation, those records deemed
necessary by the MTA to evaluate and verify direct and indirect costs, (including overhead
allocations) as they may apply to costs associated with the Project. These records must be
retained by Grantee for three years following final payment under this Agreement.
5.4 Grantee shall cause all contractors to comply with the requirements of
Part II, Section 5, paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3 above. Grantee shall cause all contractors to
cooperate fully in furnishing or in making available to the MTA records which shall include,

terms and conditions of this MOU.
5.7 In addition to the MTA's other remedies as provided in this MOU, the
MTA shall withhold the Funds and/or recommend not to award future Call for Projects grants

Work (such as misusing Funds or failure to return Funds owed to the MTA in accordance with
the MTA audit findings) and/or is severely out of compliance with other terms and conditions
as defined by this MOU and the Guidelines, including the access to records provisions of Part
II, Section 5.
6. ONE TIME GRANT: This is a one time only grant subject to the terms and conditions
agreed to herein and in the Guidelines. This grant does not imply nor obligate any future

Funds identified in the Programmed Budget at the time this grant was awarded, this MOU
shall be amended to reflect such additional funding. If, at the time of final voucher, funding
for the Project (including the Funds, the Grantee Funding Commitment, and any additional
funding) exceeds the actual Project costs, then the cost savings shall be applied in the same
proportion as the sources of funds from each party to this MOU as specified in the
Programmed Budget and both the Funds and the Grantee Funding Commitment required
for the Project shall be reduced accordingly.

Call for Projects - 1-71 0 AtlanticlBandini Interchange Improvements, Phase 1 Project# 4300
Memorandwu of Understanding (MOD) MOU.P0004300
ATTACHMENT C
SCOPE OF WORK
The configuration of the existing 1-710/1-5 freeways is such that there is no direct connection
between the northbound 1-5 Freeway and the southbound 1-710 Freeway, nor between the
northbound 1-71 0 Freeway and the southbound 1-5 Freeway. Therefore, Atlantic Boulevard serves
as the direct connector between the northbound 1-5 Freeway and the southbound 1-5 Freeway. The
traffic between the 1-710 Freeway and the 1-5 Freeway in these directions as well as the traffic
from the on-ramp at Atlantic Blvd. and the off-ramps to Bandini Blvd. pass through the
AtlanticIBandini Intersection and Interchange. Furthermore, the 1-71 0/ Atlantic AvenueIBandini
Boulevard Intersection and Interchange is a key link in the intermodallogistics chain between the
Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Hobart
Yards and the Union Pacific (UP) Redondo Junction Rail Yards.
Due to its mounting traffic. congestion at the 1-710/ AtlanticlBandini Intersection and Interchange,
improvements to this Intersection and Interchange will: (1) reduce congestion and queuing on the
1-71 0; (2) significantly improve conditions for trucks traveling in and out of the BNSF and UP rail
yards; (3) assist Port-generated truck movements which exit the 1-710 at Atlantic Ave.IBandini
Blvd. to reach the BNSF and UP rail yards; and (4) help preserve a critical manufacturing center
in the Los Angeles region by facilitating the transportation of raw materials/supplies and finished
goods in and out of the area.
This project as funded consists of two phases. Phase I consists of the following elements:
· Construction of the 26th Street extension including a bridge over Atlantic Boulevard. The
extension of 26th Street will require the construction of a new City owned and maintained
bridge over exiting Atlantic Boulevard. The proposed bridge will span approximately
76.88 meters;
· Construction of the new Street, which will connect the 26th Street extension to Bandini
Boulevard; and
· Acquisition of property necessary for the before mentioned projects (363.98 meters long)
and a loop on ramp to northbound 1-710 (400 meters long).
The PAED, PS&E, and Right of Way components of the Project are funded through the State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The Funds provided under this MOD are for the
construction of the Phase I component of the Project only.
