| | | | | | | | DATE:
| April 7, 2020
| TO:
| Mayor and City Council
| FROM:
| Stefan T. Chatwin, City Manager 
| | SUBJECT: | Resolution 2020-54 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Incorporating a List of Projects Funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act for Fiscal Year 2020/21 |
|
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION | | Adopt resolution. |
|
| | | | | | | | | STATEMENT OF ISSUE | | The City is entering year four of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding program established by Senate Bill 1 (SB1). To utilize RMRA funding the City must submit a list of proposed street maintenance projects to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) annually by May 1st. The CTC also requires the proposed project list be included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program Budget. Adoption of the resolution will fulfill these requirements. |
|
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION | In April 2017, the State passed SB 1 to provide additional funds to maintain local streets and roads. Starting mid-January 2018, the State Controller began depositing portions of this new SB 1 funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). The RMRA funding will be apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system. The City is projected to receive $2,212,575 of RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2020/21.
Each fiscal year, SB 1 requires the City to submit a list of projects to the CTC that are proposed for expending RMRA funding. The project list for fiscal year 2020/21 must be submitted to the CTC by May 1, 2020.
Roadway segments included on the project list (Attachment 1) and map (Attachment 2) are major arterials and collectors, carry high levels of traffic, and/or are connections to major industrial or commercial centers. The 2020 Pavement Maintenance Project will improve the streets in the industrial Chadbourne-Beck-Courage (CBC) area and Cordelia area, which includes Grobric Court, Commerce Court, Lookout Road and Link Road.
Staff recommends the approval of the attached resolution and project list so that the listed streets will be eligible for the RMRA funding. The maintenance and rehabilitation project costs for the listed streets are much greater than the available RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2020/21. Because of the limited amount of SB 1 funds, in order to accomplish these projects, the street maintenance and rehabilitation projects will also utilize Gas Tax and Measure P funds. The list will be evaluated and updated on an annual basis. In accordance with CTC requirements, the project list provides the project description, limits, schedule for completion, and estimated useful life.
|
|
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT | | The proposed action will allow the City to receive approximately $2,212,575 in Fiscal Year 2020/21 of RMRA funding for eligible roadways. Funds will be deposited in the Gas Tax-SB1 Fund (Fund 055, Division and Responsibility Code 99000). Funds from the Gas Tax-SB1 Fund are to be transferred to the Streets Capital Project Fund (Fund 252, Division and Responsibility Code 99499) to cover Annual Pavement Maintenance Contracts. |
