PREPARED BY: Chantell O’Neal, Assistant Director, Engineering PRESENTER: Chantell O’Neal, Assistant Director, Engineering AGENDA TITLE: Review and Confirmation of the 2027 Roadway Revitalization Project Scope
RECOMMENDATION
Receive the staff presentation on the 2027 Roadway Revitalization Project and provide direction to confirm or update the list of street segments previously approved in November 2024.
SUMMARY
In November 25, 2024, City Council adopted a Resolution authorizing the programming of specific street segments for inclusion in the 2027 Roadway Revitalization Project under the Local Partnership Program - Formulaic (LPP-F) and Competitive (LPP-C) fund applications submitted to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). The project scope for programming LPP grants, must be submitted to the state well in advance of performing work on the project in accordance with grant timelines.
The purpose of this agenda item is to:
Confirm the list of streets originally approved for the 2027 project, Consider adding street segments previously left off the 2025 project list, Discuss incorporation of Azalea and Pentitini Streets (designed for 2022 project but not included in the contract award due to budget shortfall), and Recommend adding underground utility work—specifically, two valves on the City Water Main along Oak Street—in coordination with draft Water Master Plan recommendations.
Based on the recent increased interest in upcoming street projects, staff seeks to ensure that the current scope aligns with Council’s goals and expectations before design begins.
BACKGROUND
November 25, 2024: City Council adopted a Resolution programming the 2027 LPP-F Roadway Project and discussed the submittal of an LPP-Competitive (LPP-C) application.
June 26–27, 2025: California Transportation Commission (CTC) will consider programming and funding recommendations for both the LPP-F and LPP-C components.
July 2025: Pending CTC approval, the City can proceed with design-phase solicitation.
January 2027: Project tentatively scheduled to go to bid for construction.
The 2027 project was programmed approximately 2.5 years prior to its target construction year. Once programmed by the CTC, funds must be allocated within two fiscal years of eligibility notification and expended within three fiscal years from the date of project construction award in order to remain eligible.
