| Stefan T. Chatwin, City Manager 
| | SUBJECT: | Resolution 2020-144 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing the Execution of Certifications and Assurances for the California State of Good Repair Program for the Corporation Yard Transit Fleet Electrification Project |
|
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION | | Adopt resolution. |
|
| | | | | | | | | STATEMENT OF ISSUE | | This resolution authorizes the execution of Certifications and Assurances for the California State of Good Repair Program for the Corporation Yard Transit Fleet Electrification Project. |
|
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION | Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the Road and Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, signed by the California State Governor on April 28, 2017, includes the State of Good Repair (SGR) program which provides additional revenues for transit infrastructure repair and service improvements.
The SGR Program is funded from a portion of a new Transportation Improvement Fee on vehicle registrations due on or after January 1, 2018. A portion of this fee will be transferred to the State Controller’s Office (SCO) for the SGR Program. In collaboration with the SCO, the California Department of Transportation is tasked with the management and administration of the SGR Program. These funds will be allocated under the State Transit Assistance Program formula to eligible agencies pursuant to Public Utilities Code section 99312.1.
Through the SB1 SGR Program, the City of Fairfield is allocated up to $31,839 in fiscal year 2020-2021, which includes SGR allocations from the City of Dixon ($1,177) and the City of Vacaville ($4,657). The City plans to make upgrades to the electrical infrastructure at the Corporation Yard in order to purchase and install electric bus chargers for new all-electric zero-emission buses. SB1 SGR Program funds will be used to help fund the preliminary design and engineering portion of this project.

|
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT | Fairfield and Suisun Transit (FAST) anticipates receiving up to $31,839 in programmed SB1 SGR funding for corporation yard electric infrastructure upgrades. This funding requires no local match and will offset programmed Local Transportation Funding to apply towards FAST capital projects.
All operating and capital expenses for FAST are supported with state and federal transportation grant funds. No financial resources from the City’s General Fund are used for FAST expenses. |

|
|
| | | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVE ACTION | | The City could choose against claiming up to $31,839 in SGR funding for design and engineering for Corporation Yard electrical infrastructure upgrades. However, not claiming this funding would result in FAST needing to obtain additional funding to support the project. Unclaimed SGR funding will be reallocated by the State of California. |
