The projects' implementing agency is Caltrans District 7. The projects were funded using Proposition 1B Highway — Corridor Mobility Improvement Account funds, State-Local Partnership Program Funds, Transportation Corridors Improvement Funds, and State Transportation Improvement Program Augmentation funds.

As required by the Governor's Executive Order S-02-07 and SB88, the expenditures of bond proceeds and outcomes are subject to audit. The audit was performed by the Department of Finance on behalf of Caltrans. Deputy Directive 100-R1, "Departmental Responses to Audit Reports" cites responsibilities of Division Chiefs relative to audits performed. The audit disclosed the following findings:

  • District 7 should implement stronger fiscal controls to ensure compliance with project agreements and Caltrans/CTC's program guidelines.
  • The Final Delivery Reports for projects 0700000083, 0700000500, 0700001829, and 0700001831 were not submitted timely.

Please provide the Independent Office of Audits and Investigations a Corrective Action Resolution (CAR) on the audit findings within 90 days of this memorandum's date and reference the project numbers above on the CAR.
