DATE: April 23, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Project List for FY25 Road Repair and Accountability Act (RRAA) Funding for the FY25 Pavement Improvement Project
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) approving the project list for RRAA FY2025 (FY25) funding for the FY25 Pavement Improvement Project (PIP).
SUMMARY
A yearly application must be submitted to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to continue receiving RRAA funding, which must include a resolution approving a project list of street segments or defined regions of the City for the estimated revenue. The RRAA revenue estimate for FY25 is $4,000,000 and the project list includes the Hayward neighborhoods within the limits of I-880, SR-92, Harder Rd, Mission Blvd, Calhoun St, and City Limits, as shown on Attachment III.
BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the RRAA of 2017, to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs through an increase in per gallon fuel excise taxes and vehicle registration fees.
To receive each year’s SB1 apportionments, cities must apply to the CTC for the funds by submitting a tentative project list approved by resolution to the CTC. The project list must contain either a list of street segments or defined regions of the City undergoing rehabilitation, an estimated completion date for the project, and the estimated useful life of the paving methods utilized.
DISCUSSION
This project is part of the larger FY25 PIP. This project is scheduled to finalize a street list by September 2024, call for bids in winter 2025, start construction in Spring 2025, and complete construction in Fall of 2025.
The RRAA revenue estimate of $4,000,000 will be used to treat the Hayward neighborhoods within the limits of I-880, SR-92, Harder Rd, Mission Blvd, Calhoun St, and City Limits. This area includes streets in very poor condition with high number of resident requests in order to improve and increase equity in distribution of City services (E 12 St, Webster St, Zypher Ave, Wiegman Rd, Santana St, etc.). Preventative maintenance treatment estimated useful life is 5-10 years and pavement rehabilitation treatment estimated useful life is 10-15 years.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
This project will economically benefit the City by decreasing motorist travel time via reduced potholes, increase curb appeal and the desirability of residential neighborhoods, and attracting business to the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is fully funded by the City’s CIP through RRAA and has no impact on the General Fund. The estimated revenue from RRAA for FY25 is $4,000,000. This amount will be budgeted in the recommended FY25-FY33 CIP which is scheduled to be presented to Council for adoption later this spring.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the FY24 to FY25+ Strategic Roadmap of Invest in Infrastructure. Specifically, this item relates to the implementation of the following project(s):
Project N6 - Continue to add approximately 10 miles of bike lanes annually, with a focus on protected bike lanes and intersections that have high traffic/incidents.
SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
The project requires the contractor to recycle all construction and demolition debris generated from the project. This project is consistent with City’s Complete Streets Policy and improves travel for all users including:
Improved pavement for motorists and bicyclists
Additional bike lanes and sharrows for bicyclists
More visible pavement markings for pedestrians, including near school zones New or upgraded curb ramps to meet the recently revised Caltrans standards for pedestrians The project satisfies the following General Plan policies:
PFS-7.10 Recycled Products or Processes for Capital Projects HQL-2.5 Safe Routes to School
HQL-2.6 Education on Sharing the Road
M-1.7 Eliminate Gaps (in pedestrian networks)
M-3.1 Serving All Users
M-5.1 Pedestrian Needs
M-5.6 Safe Pedestrian Crossings
M-6.2 Encourage Bicycle Use
PUBLIC CONTACT
Immediately after the construction contract is awarded, a preliminary notice explaining the project will be posted and distributed to all residents and businesses along the affected streets. After the construction work has been scheduled, signs on barricades will be posted seventy-two hours prior to commencement of work indicating the date and time of work for each street. Residents will be advised to park their vehicles on side streets outside of the work area during the period when the streets are being treated.
NEXT STEPS
If Council approves this recommendation, staff will submit the defined regions in the City and resolution to the CTC.
May 2024 Submit RRAA funding application to CTC
Summer 2024 Finalize project list of streets
Fall 2025 Call for bids & bid opening
Spring 2025 Begin construction
