look to jurisdictions that have successfully modernized their business license taxes in recent years; and urged the City to adopt stronger tax rates targeting high-profit industries such as professional services, business services and commercial rentals to address fiscal challenges and sustain public services.
Suzanne Luther , with Hayward Concerned Citizen s, raised concern s about the survey methodology and the framing of the tax proposal, indicating it lacks transparency; and called for clearer, more direct communication about the true impact of the proposed tax increase.
Ro Aguilar, Hayward resident, asked whether revenue from the proposed measure could be used to address homelessness and related services ; and emphasized that solving homelessness is critical to supporting a healthy business environment.
Derek Bar nes, East Bay Rental Housing Association ( EBRHA) Chief Executive Officer, supported modernizing the business license tax but raised concerns about the disproportionately high flat tax on residential rental properties; and urged the City Council to consider a tiered or reduced rate for small “mom -and-pop” property owners to ensu re fairness.
Mayor Salinas closed the public comment section at 7:50 p.m.
Council Member Andrews asked about the sources of voter dissatisfaction in the survey, the benefits the City would highlight if the tax measure were approved, the potential use of funds for homelessness and core services, outreach to labor groups, and whet her rental tax thresholds could be adjusted . FM3 Consultant Everitt clarified that no follow -up data was collected on dissatisfaction . City Manager Ott noted the tax is a General Fund measure primarily supporting public safety but flexible enough to fund homelessness services ; and added that labor groups were invited to prior BLT ordinance discussions. Blue Sky Consultant Newman noted that the City Council could revise or create a more graduated tax structure for small rental property owners.
Council Member Zerme ño asked how the proposed business license tax would position Hayward relative to neighboring cities, and whether hardship waivers could be offered for small “mom -and-pop” property owners . Blue Sky Consultant Newman explained that the proposal would place Hayward roughly in the middle of comparable cities, slightly above San Jose, and noted that hardship waivers are uncommon due to administrative challenges .
Council Member Zerme ño expressed general support for the proposed ballot measure and recommended including pedestrian and bicycle safety into the ballot language.
Council Member Roche asked about best practices for polling thresholds, whether current support levels are sufficient given economic conditions, and whether businesses demonstrated an understanding of the need to update the tax. FM3 Consultant Everitt 21 10 | A p r i l 7 , 202 6
reported that the polling result, showing up to 68% support, are strong compared to typical measures. Management Analyst Perez and City Manager Ott added that groups such as Hayward Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Hayward Improvement Association Board acknowledged the need to modernize the outdated tax structure. Council Member Roche expressed support for the measure, emphasized the importance of highlighting that the tax has not been updated since 1978 in the ballot language , and underscored the need for a balanced, proportional approach that avoids overburdening businesses while addressing the City’s fiscal challenges.
Council Member Syrop requested refinements to better compare Hayward’s proposal with cities that have recently modernized their business license taxes ; noted that the flat tax structure for small residential rentals is appropriate given their revenue levels, while suggesting that commercial rental rates could be further evaluated ; invited public input on the survey design ; emphasized continued collaboration with labor partners ; and voiced overall support for advancing the measure with minor adjustments.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. requested clarification on the real -world financial impact of the proposed tax on small businesses and landlords and emphasized the importance of communicating that the tax has not been updated since 1978. City Manager Ott provid ed examples illustrating relatively modest increases for small businesses, such as small retailers and restaurants, and larger increases for rental properties to help contextualize the proposal.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. expressed support for the “match -neighbors” approach, underscored the need to balance fairness and competitiveness, and added that the proposal offers a thoughtful, responsible way to modernize the tax and sustain essential City services.
Council Member Goldstein asked about the potential impact of other tax measures appearing on the ballot and whether they could influence voter support for this proposal. FM3 Consultant Everitt explained that survey results indicate voters typically evaluate each measure independently and that support for this proposal remains strong, particularly because most residents would not directly pay the tax. Council Member Goldstein expressed support for the measure, emphasized the importance of highlighting that the tax has not been updated since 1978, and recommended messaging that underscores both community and business benefits while reinforcing that Hayward remains business-friendly.
Mayor Salinas emphasized that if the City is asking businesses to pay higher taxes, it must also demonstrate clear, tangible benefits in return, such as improvements to permitting processes or direct business support ; confirmed consensus on the proposed residential rental (1 -3 units) tax category; and expressed overall support for the proposal , noting encouragement from the survey results.
City Manager Ott summarized the key direction, including emphasizing the importance of “since 1978” messaging and returning in November with programmatic details that demonstrate benefits to businesses; noted that staff will also provide updated comparisons to cities that have modernized their business license taxes ; and confirmed that staff will incorporate feedback as appropriate while maintaining the established timeline, with the City Council generally agreeing to proceed with the current proposal. 22 CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Work Session: Tree Mitigation In-Lieu Fees (Report from Development Services Director Buizer) WS 26-011
Staff report submitted by Development Services Director Buizer, dated April 7, 2026, was filed.
Development Services Director Buizer a nnounced the item and introduced Landscape Architect Spores who provided a synopsis of the staff report.
There being no comment, Mayor Salinas opened and closed the public comment section at 8:48 p.m.
Council Member Syrop expressed support for allocating 15 percent of the in-lieu fees towards program administration ; noted the value of revisiting the allocation annually to align funding tree-planting priorities; and asked how equity would be incorporated into expanding the tree canopy and how community partnerships, such as with 100K Trees for Hayward, would use allocated funds to maximize impact and identify the most cost-effective strategies for environmental resilience . Landscape Architect Spores clarified that the funding would support both outreach and planting, with estimated costs of about $465 per tree; emphasized that grassroots partnerships help stretch available resources; and noted that community-based programs offer the greatest long-term value.
Council Member Andrews emphasized reducing the heat island effect, incentivizing businesses to plant more trees, and ensuring programs are funded through in-lieu fees without impacting the General Fund ; called for coordination with partners such as the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) on water and fire safety and the Clean and Green Commission for outreach ; emphasized strategic tree placement for economic and aesthetic benefits ; and suggested renaming “Master Plan” to a term such as “Tree Canopy Action Plan” to avoid terminology with connotations of subordination.
Council Member Zermeño supported the plan and proposed three focus areas: heritage tree identification, tree count, and fruit tree planting . Landscape Architect Spores clarified that tree inventory and heritage tree identification are already being addressed through the City’s Planet Geo system and Tree Preservation Ordinance.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. expressed support for allocating 15 percent of in -lieu fees towards program administration , supported the community projects, partnerships, and programs with an emphasis on applying a strong equity focus, ensuring underserved areas are prioritized.
23 12 | A p r i l 7 , 202 6
Council Member Roche supported the plan and prioritizing social equity programs and suggested that any unspent funds from planning studies be redirected to community equity programs; and raised the idea of coordinating with the permitting/planning process to educate homeowners about tree planting opportunities during renovations.
Council Member Goldstein supported the 15% program administration fee and called for focusing canopy expansion on currently neglected areas such as Tennyson Road; asked about and confirmed the continued existence of a tree giveaway program (funded through a grant) and requested renewed outreach promoting it , provided it does not draw from the General Fund.
Mayor Salinas expressed general support for the plan ; noted the need for funding support for tree trimming, which is a significant cost burden for many homeowners; supported Council Member Andrews’ suggestion to rename the “Master Plan” to “Tree Canopy Action Plan” and reiterated the need to expand tree coverage citywide.

SUMMARY
Staff have initiated the design phase for the FY27 PIP (05360) and are seeking professional engineering services to finalize the project design and provide construction support.
Under the existing PSA dated June 16, 2025, PEI provides engineering services for the FY26 PIP. An amendment No. 1 to the existing PEI PSA is needed to extend the scope of the Agreement to include engineering services for the upcoming FY27 PIP.
PEI will provide engineering services to evaluate pavement conditions, recommend pavement treatment, measure field quantities, design curb ramps upgrades, and provide construction support for the FY27 PIP.
The project budget for the FY 27 PIP of $ 12,350,000 is funded via the Gas Tax, Road Repair and Accountability Act (RRAA) Senate Bill 1 (SB1), Measure BB, Vehicle Registration Fees, and Street System Improvement funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no General Fund or Measure C contribution to this project. 33
The estimated project funding sources are as follows:
210 - Gas Tax $750,000
211 – RRAA (SB1) $4,500,000
212 - Measure BB – Local Transportation $4,300,000
218 – Vehicle Registration Fee $700,000
450 – Street System Improvements $2,100,000
Total: $12,350,000
BACKGROUND
On June 3 , 2025
1, Council authorized the City Manager to execute a PSA with PEI in an amount not-to-exceed $339,020 for engineering services for the FY26 PIP.
PEI has extensive experience providing engineering services for City’s annual pavement projects, such as those spanning FY19 to FY26.
Staff is currently undertaking the street selection for the FY27 PIP where Pavement Condition Index (PCI), location equity, public input, and funding availability are considered.
Staff recommends PEI to provide the engineering services for analysis, design, and construction support for the project.
DISCUSSION
The scope of work for this PSA consists of the following six tasks:
Task 1 – Project Management/Coordination:
PEI will manage the deliverables, project schedule, and communication with the City of Hayward.
Task 2 – Street Investigation/Engineering Review:
PEI will visually evaluate the pavement condition of each of the proposed project streets. The review will confirm the appropriate pavement treatment for each street, such as pavement rehabilitation, preventive maintenance and resurfacing, among other options. This task will allow staff to refine the project budgets and identify any specific problem areas.
Task 3 – Pavement Evaluation on Pavement Rehabilitation:
PEI will perform a pavement evaluation on each street segment to determine the most cost- effective rehabilitation treatments based on structure requirements, reflective cracking requirements, longevity, and economy.

34
Task 4 – Measurement of Field Quantities:
PEI will provide field site evaluations for each of the locations identified on the project streets list to measure and record all pertinent field quantities, such as location of crack sealing, dig-outs, and other pavement repairs.
Task 5 – Curb Ramp Design:
PEI will assist the City with curb ramp designs related to this project. This task involves designing Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA) ramps in the field to provide limits of removal and quantities of work.
Task 6 – Construction Support / Mark Pavement Repairs:
PEI will mark all required pavement repairs in the field. PEI will annotate any changed quantities and provide a revised quantity summary to the City at the completion of the field work.
PEI is currently providing construction support for the FY26 PIP . This amendment is necessary because the actual pavement centerline miles doubled from the original scope.
The original scope included assessment of 27 centerline miles of pavement while the actual is 60 centerline miles. Also, crack seal treatment was not included in the original scope and added after the start of PEI’s work. Finally, this amendment would initiate work on the FY27 PIP.
Many of the included improvements such as bike facilities and ADA -compliant curb ramps on Industrial Blvd, Industrial Pkwy SW, Breakwater Ave, B Street, and other various streets would significantly benefit bicycle and pedestrian access.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
The project will improve pavement conditions and generate economic benefits by:
• Reducing travel time and congestion
• Lowering fuel consumption and vehicle operating costs • Attracting business investment
• Increasing property values and neighborhood desirability • Reducing vehicle traffic through added bike lanes
• Creating local construction jobs under the Community Workforce Agreement
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the FY25 Strategic Roadmap of Invest in Infrastructure, Objective 1: Invest in multi-modal transportation. Specifically, this item relates to the implementation of the following project(s):
• FM2 - # of miles of bike lanes added Transportation
• FM3 - # of miles of repaving completed Transportation
35
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
• Additional bike lanes and sharrows for cyclists
• 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 2040 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
There is no public contact associated with this action.
NEXT STEPS
If Council approves this request, the City Manager will execute Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with PEI increasing the PSA by $572,225 for a total maximum compensation amount not-to-exceed $911,245. Once Amendment No. 1 is executed, PEI’s service associated with FY 27 PIP will be gin in June 2026 and is anticipated to be completed by November 2026.

The Sewer Line Replacement Project FY24 will improve the capacity and maintain the operability of the sewer collection system by replacing approximately 5.6 miles of existing vitrified clay pipe (VCP), asbestos cement pipe (ACP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe ranging in diameter from 6 to 12-inch with new 8, 10, 12, 16, or 24-inch PVC or high- density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. This project includes twenty-nine locations throughout the City and design anticipated to be completed in summer 2026. To avoid delaying the planned paving rehabilitation of A Street as part of the FY26 Pavement Improvement Project (PIP), the A Street portion of the Sewer Line Replacement Project FY24 has been advanced ahead of schedule with the design completed in February and the public bidding process completed in March. Expediting this work will ensure that the necessary sewer infrastructure updates are completed prior to the paving improvement, thereby allowing A Street to be resurfaced as originally planned.
On March 24, 2026, seven (7) bids were received. The low bid was $3,773,135 which is $579,865, or
13.3%, below the Engineer’s estimate of $4,353,000. Staff is requesting City Council’s approval of Addendum No. 1 and No. 2, which provided minor revisions to clarify the specifications/plans, and awarding the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder, SubTerra Construction, Inc, in the amount of $3,773,135, and approving $377,314 in Administrative Construction Contingency (change CITY OF HAYWARD Printed on 4/17/2026Page 1 of 2

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no impacts to the General Fund or Measure C.
The estimated costs for the A Street Sewer Line Replacement Project are as follows:
Construction Contract $3,773,135
Administrative Construction Contingency $377,314
Professional Engineering Services – Consultant $241,400 Inspection & Testing & Permitting $176,151
Construction Administration – City Staff $267,000
Total $4,835,000
The adopted FY26 CIP includes $4,835,000 for the A Street Sewer Line Replacement Project, Project No. 07831, in the Sewer Replacement Fund 611.
BACKGROUND
The City’s current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes funding to replace the City’s undersized or structurally damaged sewer mains through annual sewer line replacement projects. The City operates approximately 325 miles of sanitary sewer mains. The Utilities Division staff performs regular sewer main cleaning and has an ongoing program to monitor and inspect the condition of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system using closed circuit television (CCTV) technology. The inspection is performed by placing a camera, mounted on tracks, inside a sewer pipe and remotely guiding it through the length of the pipe to identify structurally damaged sewer mains for repair or replacement.
The A Street Sewer Line Replacement Project consists of replacing 1,700 linear feet of 6-inch VCP with 8-inch HDPE pipe by pipe bursting and open trench, replacing 3,000 linear feet of 12-inch VCP with 16 -inch HDPE pipe by pipe bursting and open trench, an d providing a Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining for 1,100 linear feet of an existing 27 -inch RCP pipe.
Traditional open-trench sewer repair involves excavating a trench of approximately two to four feet in width and to the depth of the damaged or undersized pipe. Once the sewer main is exposed, the damaged or undersized section is removed and replaced with new pipe. At the same time, a portion of the existing sewer laterals that connect to the sewer are replaced and services are restored. When the repair is complete, the open trench is backfilled, compacted, and paved to match the original pavement section.
The pipe bursting method uses a bursting head that is pulled through the existing pipe and pushes the pipe outward until it breaks apart. At the same time, the bursting head pulls the new pipe behind it and fills the space created by the old pipe with the new pipe. The CIPP technique involves inserting a resin- impregnated flexible tube into the pipe, inflating, and curing with hot water or steam forming a structurally sound, water -tight new pipe within a pipe that has all the structural properties of a stand-alone pipe. 43
DISCUSSION
On February 17, 20261, Council approved the plans and specifications for the project and called for bids to be received on March 24, 2026.
On March 24, 2026, the City received seven (7) bids for the project, ranging from $3,773,135 to $ 6,271,888. SubTerra Construction, Inc submitted the low est bid in the amount of $3,773,135, which is approximately 13.3% below the Engineer’s estimate of $4,353,000. The average of the seven (7) bids received was $5,084,773 which is approximately 16.8% above the Engineer’s estimate. An additional $377,314 (or 10% of the contract amount) is included for administrative construction contingency in the event additional funds are needed for unforeseen conditions and changes during construction.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
The community will benefit from the project, including the continued operability and serviceability of the sewer collection system. Furthermore, robust and reliable sewer infrastructure can help foster economic development and viability in the City.
Replacing the sewer main and appurtenances are part of an effort to, pursuant to City Council direction, modernize and upgrade existing infrastructure. The project will reduce operations and maintenance costs associated with servicing the undersized and structurally defective sewer mains. In addition, staff time attending to issues related to high frequency maintenance and sanitary sewer overflows will be reduced.
On June 24, 20 25
2, City Council passed a resolution authorizing a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) with the Alameda County Building Trades Council (BTC), which applies to City projects with construction costs of $1,000,000 or more. The agreement requires contractors to utilize local union hiring halls, encourages the employment of Hayward residents and Hayward Unified School District graduates, and requires workers to pay applicable union dues and contribute to other benefit trust fund s. The CWA agreement applies to th e A Street Sewer Line Replacement Project as its construction cost exceeds $1,000,000.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Roadmap, which includes Invest in Infrastructure as one of the strategic priorities. Specifically, this item relates to the implementation of Objective 4: Invest in Water Supplies, Sanitation Infrastructure & Storm Sewers under “Invest in Infrastructure:”
N20: Replace an average of 2.5 miles of sewer pipelines annually

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the existing Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Advanced Mobility Group, Inc. (AMG) to continue on- call transportation consulting . The Amendment would 1) extend the term of agreement by one year through June 30, 2027, 2) update the agreement to allow two additional one -year extensions through June 30, 2029, and 3) increase the contract amount by $250,000 annually for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,000,000 for one-year extension and not-to-exceed amount of $1,500,000 for the two additional extensions.
SUMMARY
The City entered into a three-year agreement with AMG on June 28, 2023, to provide on-call transportation engineering design and related services , which expires June 30, 2026. To continue receiving on- call transportation consulting services, staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to extend the term of agreement by one year through June 30, 2027 and update the agreement to allow two additional one-year extensions, for a total of three additional years, through June 30, 2029. In addition, the resolution authorizes the City Manager to increase the contract amount by $250,000 annually.
FISCAL IMPACT
The impact of this amendment on the General Fund and Measure C is none to minimal.
Currently the annual contract for AMG’s on- call services is $ 250,000. This amendment 50
maintains that annual amount, with no annual increase requested during this period. This reflects a continued commitment to fiscal stability and responsible stewardship of resources.
The majority of the contract increase will be funded through appropriated budgets in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as AMG provides consulting services on specific CIP projects. A majority of the Transportation CIP projects are funded by special revenues, such as Gas Tax and Measure BB. The remaining costs are related to development and encroachment plan reviews, which is a City service provided by the Transportation Division, and are budgeted in the General Fund. These costs are currently offset by associated plan review fees in the Master Fee Schedule (MFS). The Finance Department is bringing the MFS updates, which will reflect the most updated costs of service and fees, to City Council for approval on April 21, 2026.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
AMG has provided on-call transportation consulting services to the City since 2018. AMG’s scope of work includes various transportation engineering services, including signal design & operations, development/improvement plan review, citizen request management, neighborhood traffic calming, grant writing, and outreach. The previous contract expired on June 30, 2023.
In 2023, due to key vacancies in the Transportation Division, the Public Works & Utilities Department sought to pre -qualify firms to provide on- call transportation engineering services. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was prepared by staff and released to eight firms and posted on the City’s website on March 13, 2023. Staff evaluated two proposals and determined that AMG was more qualified for the services needed, based on their experience in providing similar services to the City and the firm’s competitive r ate structure.
On May 23, 20231, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a PSA with AMG for a total amount of $750,000 over three -years. The current three- year agreement was executed on June 28, 2023, with an effective date from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2026. The existing PSA includes language regarding City’s right to extend the term of the agreement in intervals of one month.
AMG’s services have been used to increase staff capacity, provide expertise, and deliver projects on time. The Transportation Division has been using AMG’s support on tasks such as traffic control plan review, managing resident requests through Access Hayward, grant applications, development/improvement plan review, signal timing analysis, and providing technical assistance and upgrades to the City’s traffic signal system infrastructure.
The Transportation Division’s current workload and staff vacancies require continuous on- call transportation consulting services to implement planned projects over the next three years.

SUMMARY
The current Alameda CTC Master Programs Funding Agreements (MPFAs), executed in 2016, allow the City to receive disbursements of Measure B/BB/VRF DLD from Alameda CTC.
These distributions provide support to locally identified transportation improvements among the City’s local transportation, bicycle and pedestrian, mass transit, and paratransit programs. The MPFAs are set to expire on June 30, 2026.

The City will enter into two DLD MPFAs: A ten-year MPFA for the Measure BB and VRF DLD Program (Attachment III) and a one-year MPFA for the Measure B DLD Program (Attachment IV).
FISCAL IMPACT
This item does not impact the General Fund or Measure C . These external funding sources fund programs and projects that would otherwise require funding from the General Fund.
Execution of the MPFA prior to June 30, 2026, will allow uninterrupted flow of transportation-specific funds from Alameda CTC to the City from Measure BB, and VRF Direct 56
Local Distributions. The table below illustrates the estimated funds provided by each program for FY26.
Funding Source Local Streets & Roads Bicycle & Pedestrian Paratransit Measure BB1 $6.10 million $1.08 million $2.04 million
VRF2 $703,000 - -
Since Measure B sunset on March 31, 2022, the City is no longer receiving Measure B DLD funds. The Measure B MPFA will only be required if a DLD recipient has an existing DLD balance as of June 30, 2025 , such as City of Hayward , and will allow the City to continue to use the remaining balance up till June 30, 2027.
BACKGROUND
Alameda County voters approved Measure B funds in November 2000, and collection of the sales tax began on April 1, 2002. Agreements were executed with transit agencies, Alameda County, and local jurisdictions to receive Measure B pass through funds for fou r types of programs: bicycle and pedestrian; local streets and roads; mass transit; and paratransit.
Voters also approved the Measure F Alameda County VRF program on November 2, 2010.
The additional annual $10 per vehicle fee generates about $11 million per year countywide.
Voters approved Measure BB funds on November 4, 2014. Measure BB renewed the 0.5% Measure B transportation sales tax approved in 2000 and increased the tax by an additional
0.5%, resulting in a 1% sales tax throughout Alameda County dedicated to transportation expenses. The thirty -year plan proposed $7.8 billion in spending to improve and maintain transportation infrastructure and systems in the county.
These distributions provide support to locally identified transportation improvements among the City’s local transportation, bicycle and pedestrian, mass transit, and paratransit programs. Alameda CTC is responsible for the distribution of revenues generated through the Measure B, Measure BB, and the VRF p rograms. Over half of these revenues are distributed by formula directly to local jurisdictions, including the City of Hayward, to support locally managed transportation, bicycle and pedestrian, transit, and paratransit programs. These funds can only be used on transportation-related expenditures. To receive Measure B/BB/VRF D LD funds, the City is required to maintain a MPFA with the Alameda CTC. The MPFA identify the roles and responsibilities related to the DLD expenditures.
The current MPFA was approved by City Council on May 24, 2016 and executed on July 1, 2016. It enabled continued disbursement of Measure B/BB/VRF DLD funds through June 30, 2026. With the expir ation date approaching and to ensure continued and uninterrupted distribution of formula funds, Alameda CTC intends to execute a new MPFA with local jurisdictions, including the City of Hayward, by June 30, 2026.

DISCUSSION
The proposed DLD MPFA contains no significant changes to the existing 2016 MPFA. Minor updates were made by Alameda CTC to correct outdated references and to separate Measure B from the Measure BB/VRF requirements. The City will enter into both of the DLD MPFAs:
A ten-year MPFA for the Measure BB and V RF DLD Program and a one- year MPFA for the Measure B DLD Program.
The 2016 MPFA included performance metrics pertaining to the use of DLD administered funds. The DLD performance metrics for the proposed MPFA has been updated to reflect current best practices and available data. The performance metrics reflect quantifiable data of universal investments such as the pavement condition index (PCI) for streets and roads, quantities of sidewalk or bike facility improvements, transit ridership, and trips provided/individuals served. The performance metrics serve to provide Alameda CTC information on service availability, service reliability, community impact, financial accountability, and delivery performance of projects and programs.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
The City currently uses DLD funds to fund various projects, operations, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure and programs. Ensuring the continued and uninterrupted flow of these funds will contribute to the modernization of the City’s transportation infrastructure and ensure it is kept in a state of good repair . This economically benefits all residents and regional commuters who rely on the City’s transportation infrastructure in their daily lives.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of Invest in Infrastructure. This item is not specifically related to a project identified in the Strategic Roadmap. Staff is bringing forth this new item because it will allow disbursements of funds to the City to support many of the projects within the Invest in Infrastructure category.
SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
Measure B, BB, and VRF DLD funds are used for funding various Transportation- related Public Works projects in the City. Many of these projects will support active transportation, transit, and the efficient flow of traffic, which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
PUBLIC CONTACT
The Alameda CTC presented the MPFA Implementation Guidelines before appropriate Almeda CTC Committees, which provide oversight on funds. On February 26, 2026, the Alameda CTC adopted the final MPFAs and Implementation Guidelines.
58
NEXT STEPS
If Council approves staff recommendations, the MPFAs will be executed by the City Manager prior to June 30, 2026 to ensure that Measure BB/VRF DLD funds continue to flow to the City and to ensure City’s ability to continue to utilize the remaining Measure B balance up till June 30, 2027.

MEASURE BB / VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEE
MASTER PROGRAMS FUNDING AGREEMENT
between the
ALAMEDA COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
and the
CITY OF HAYWARD
This Measure BB / Vehicle Registration Fee Master Programs Funding Agreement (“AGREEMENT”), effective the 1st of July 1, 2026, is entered into by and between the Alameda County Transportation Commission (“ALAMEDA CTC”) and the City of Hayward (“RECIPIENT”).
RECITALS
A. On November 2, 2010, the voters of Alameda County approved Measure F, the Vehicle Registration Fee (“VRF”) Program, pursuant to Section 65089.20 of the Government Code, thereby authorizing the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (“ACCMA”) to administer the proceeds from a $10 per year vehicle registration fee on each annual motor-vehicle registration or renewal of registration in Alameda County, starting in May 2011, six months following approval of Measure F. Vehicles subject to the VRF include all motorized vehicles, including passenger cars, light-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, buses of all sizes, motorcycles, and motorized camper homes, unless vehicles are expressly exempted from the payment of the VRF.
B. Funds raised by the VRF will be used exclusively for local transportation purposes in Alameda County that have a relationship or benefit to the owners of motor vehicles paying the VRF, including projects and programs identified in the expenditure plan approved by the voters as part of Measure F (the “VRF Expenditure Plan”).
C. On June 24, 2010, the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (“ACTIA”) and ACCMA took the final actions to create ALAMEDA CTC, a joint powers authority, with all of ACTIA and ACCMA’s functions and responsibilities. Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the ACCMA and ACTIA Boards and the governing body of the ALAMEDA CTC (COMMISSION”), ACCMA and ACTIA were terminated as of the close of business on February 29, 2012, with ALAMEDA CTC designated as the successor entity. All of its predecessors’ functions and responsibilities have been assigned to, and accepted by, ALAMEDA CTC, including duties related to the VRF Program.
D. On November 4, 2014, the voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the Local Transportation Authority and Improvement Act, California Public Utilities Code Section 180000 et seq., approved Measure BB, thereby authorizing ALAMEDA CTC to administer the proceeds from a one-half of one percent transaction and use tax applicable from April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2022, and a full one percent tax applicable from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2045. The tax proceeds will be used to pay for the investments outlined in Alameda County’s 30-Year Transportation Expenditure Plan (“Measure BB Expenditure Plan”), as it may be amended.
E. This AGREEMENT delineates the requirements of the Measure BB and VRF Direct Local Distribution (“DLD”) funds that are directly allocated to local jurisdictions and transit operators, as
ATTACHMENT III
62 Alameda CTC Agreement No. A26-00XX
2026 MPFA

F. The parties to this AGREEMENT previously entered into a Master Programs Funding Agreement applicable to DLD funds distributed by ALAMEDA CTC, which expires as of June 30, 2026 (“ORIGINAL AGREEMENT”).

MEASURE B
MASTER PROGRAMS FUNDING AGREEMENT
between the
ALAMEDA COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
and the
CITY OF HAYWARD
This Measure B Master Programs Funding Agreement (“AGREEMENT”), effective the 1st of July 1, 2026, is entered into by and between the Alameda County Transportation Commission (“ALAMEDA CTC”) and the City of Hayward (“RECIPIENT”).
RECITALS
A. On November 7, 2000, the voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Local Transportation Authority and Improvement Act, California Public Utilities Code Section 180000 et seq., approved the reauthorization of Measure B, thereby authorizing Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (“ACTIA”) to administer the proceeds from a continued one-half cent transaction and use tax (“Measure B”).
B. The Measure B sales tax was collected for a period of 20 years from April 1, 2002, through March 31, 2022. The tax proceeds must be used to pay for the programs and projects outlined in Alameda County’s 20-Year Transportation Expenditure Plan (the “Measure B Expenditure Plan”), as it may be amended.
C. On June 24, 2010, ACTIA and ACCMA took the final actions to create ALAMEDA CTC, a joint powers authority, with all of ACTIA and ACCMA’s functions and responsibilities. Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the ACCMA and ACTIA Boards and the governing body of the ALAMEDA CTC (“COMMISSION”), ACCMA and ACTIA were terminated as of the close of business on February 29, 2012, with ALAMEDA CTC designated as the successor entity. All of its predecessors’ functions and responsibilities have been assigned to, and accepted by, ALAMEDA CTC, including duties related to the Measure B Program.
D. This AGREEMENT delineates the requirements of the Measure B Direct Local Distribution (“DLD”) funds that have been directly allocated to local jurisdictions and transit operators, as authorized by the Measure B Expenditure Plan. Discretionary funds identified in this expenditure plan are not the subject of this AGREEMENT, and RECIPIENT will be required to enter into a separate agreement for those funds.
E. RECIPIENT’s Measure B Audited Financial Statement for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 reports a Measure B DLD fund balance of $1,136,500.
F. The parties to this AGREEMENT previously entered into a Master Programs Funding Agreement applicable to DLD funds distributed by ALAMEDA CTC, which expires as of June 30, 2026 (“ORIGINAL AGREEMENT”). The parties have determined that it is appropriate to enter into a new agreement rather than extending the ORIGINAL AGREEMENT, in part because the ORIGINAL AGREEMENT governed separate ALAMEDA CTC funds which will be distributed for many years after the deadline for
ATTACHMENT IV
75 Alameda CTC Agreement No. A26-00XX
2026 MPFA
expenditure of the funds governed by this AGREEMENT, and those funds shall now be governed by a separate agreement between the parties.
G. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the ORIGINAL AGREEMENT, RECIPIENT is granted until June 30, 2027 to expend its remaining Measure B DLD Balance, pursuant to action taken on February 26, 2026 by the COMMISSION to complete the closeout of the RECIPIENT’s Measure B DLD program.
This AGREEMENT was originally approved by the COMMISSION on February 26, 2026.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed by and between the parties as follows:
ARTICLE I: MEASURE B DLD PROGRAM FUND BALANCE
1. This AGREEMENT shall be effective as of July 1, 2026. The ORIGINAL AGREEMENT shall govern and control all expenditures of DLD distributions made on or before June 30, 2026. There will no further distributions of DLD funds from Measure B after such effective date.
2. This AGREEMENT authorizes RECIPIENT to expend its remaining Measure B DLD Program balance as stated in RECIPIENT’s Measure B Audited Financial Statement for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 as summarized in Table A: DLD Program Fund Balance Summary.
Table A: DLD Program Fund Balance Summary
DLD Program Fund Balance
Bicycle and Pedestrian Program $505,942
Local Streets and Roads Program $719,264
Paratransit Program -$88,706
Total $1,136,500
3. The Measure B DLD Program Fund Balance must be expended fully by June 30, 2027. Any portion of such Fund Balance which is not expended by that date shall revert to ALAMEDA CTC.
4. The Measure B DLD Program funds must be used in accordance with the applicable Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Implementation Guidelines, Local Streets and Roads Program Implementation Guidelines, Mass Transit Program Implementation Guidelines, and Paratransit Program Implementation Guidelines, which define eligibility and fund usage guidelines, definitions, additional requirements, and guideline adoption details. Said guidelines are hereby incorporated into this AGREEMENT by reference.
ARTICLE II: PAYMENTS AND EXPENDITURES
A. ALAMEDA CTC’S DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS
1. ALAMEDA CTC shall provide for an independent annual audit of its financial statements including revenues and expenditures and also of its calculation of the allocation formula for distributing

Implementation Guidelines
Section 1. Purpose
A. To delineate the eligible uses of Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Funds authorized under Alameda County Transportation Commission Master Program Funding Agreements, these implementation guidelines have been developed to specify the requirements that local jurisdictions must follow in their use of Measure B, Measure BB and Vehicle Registration Fee Direct Local Distribution and discretionary funds. These guidelines are incorporated by reference in the Master Program Funding Agreements. All other terms and conditions for programs are contained in the agreements themselves.
The intent of the implementation guidelines is to:
1. Provide guidance on Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety funds eligible uses and expenditures.
2. Define the terms in the Master Program Funding Agreements.
3. Guide Bicycle and Pedestrian Program implementation.
Section 2. Authority
A. These Implementation Guidelines have been adopted by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) and set forth eligible uses and expenditures for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Program funds. Alameda CTC may update these guidelines on an as-needed basis and will do so with involvement of its technical and community advisory committees (as applicable).
Exceptions to these guidelines must be requested in writing and be approved by Alameda CTC.
Section 3. Background
A. Alameda CTC developed Implementation guidelines for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Funds to clarify eligible fund uses and expenditures in association Master Programs Funding Agreements for the November 2000 voter-approved Measure B Direct Local Distribution funds (formally known as “pass- through funds”). In 2012, the Master Programs Funding Agreements were updated to include the voter approved Measure F - Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) program. In November 2014, voters approved the 2014 Transportation Expenditure Plan, Measure BB, and new Master Programs Funding Agreements were subsequently developed to incorporate Measure BB funds.
Section 4. Definition of Terms
A. Alameda CTC: The Alameda County Transportation Commission is a Joint Powers Authority created by the merger of the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency, which performed long-range planning and funding for countywide transportation projects and programs, and the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority, which administered the voter approved half-cent transportation sales taxes in Alameda County (the 1986 and 2000 approved Measure B sales tax programs) B. Capital project: A bicycle and pedestrian capital investment that typically requires the following phases:
planning/feasibility, scoping, environmental clearance, design, right-of-way, construction, and completion.
C. Complete Street: A transportation facility that is planned, designed, operated, and maintained to provide safe mobility for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit vehicles, truckers, and motorists, appropriate to the function and context of the facility. Complete street concepts apply to rural, suburban, and urban areas (Caltrans definition).
D. Complete Streets Act of 2008: The California Complete Streets Act (Assembly Bill 1358) was signed into law in September 2008. It requires that local jurisdictions modify their general plans as follows:
ATTACHMENT V
86 Alameda CTC Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Implementation Guidelines
Bicycle/Pedestrian - 2
“(A) Commencing January 1, 2011, upon any substantial revision of the circulation element, the legislative body shall modify the circulation element to plan for a balanced, multimodal transportation network that meets the needs of all users of the streets, roads, and highways for safe and convenient travel in a manner that is suitable to the rural, suburban, or urban context of the general plan. (B) For the purposes of this paragraph, “users of streets, roads, and highways” means bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, motorists, movers of commercial goods, pedestrians, users of public transportation, and seniors.”
E. Construction: Construction of a new capital project, including development of preliminary engineering and construction documents, including plans, specifications, and estimates.
F. Cost Allocation Plans (CAPs): CAPs and Indirect cost rate proposals (IDCs) are plans that provide a systematic manner to identify, accumulate, and distribute allowable direct and indirect costs to Bicycle and Pedestrian programs funded through the Alameda CTC Master Programs Funding Agreements.
G. Direct cost: A cost completely attributed to the provision of a service, operations, a program, a capital cost, or a product. These costs include documented hourly project staff labor charges (salaries, wages and benefits) which are directly and solely related to the implementation of the Alameda CTC-funded Bicycle and Pedestrian Funds, consultants, and materials. These funds may be used for travel or training if they are directly related to the implementation of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Funds.
H. Direct Local Distribution Funds: Funds are allocated based upon a funding formula (such as population, registered vehicles, road miles, or a combination thereof) defined in a voter approved transportation expenditure plan, and provided to eligible jurisdictions on a regularly scheduled basis (such as a regular monthly payment).
I. Environmental Documents: Preparation of environmental documents, such as those related to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), or permits required by state or federal permitting agencies.
J. Grants: Funding for plans, programs or projects based upon a competitive call for projects, an evaluation process based on adopted evaluation criteria and allocated based upon a reimbursement basis.
K. Indirect cost: Also known as “overhead,” any cost of doing business other than direct costs. These costs include utilities, rent, administrative staff, officer's salaries, accounting department costs and personnel department costs, which are requisite for general operation of the organization, but are not directly allocable to a particular service or product.
L. Local Bicycle Master Plan/Local Pedestrian Master Plans: Locally adopted plans that, at a minimum, examine existing conditions for walking and/or bicycling, and provide recommendations on improving the walking and/or bicycling environment, and prioritize these improvements. These plans may be stand-alone bicycle and pedestrian plans or maybe a joint plan that addresses both walking and bicycling. Also referred to as an Active Transportation Plan.
M. Maintenance: Repairs, renovation, or upgrade of existing facility or infrastructure.
N. Measure BB: Alameda County voters approved Measured BB, the 2014 Transportation Expenditure Plan, in November 2014. It authorizes the collection of a half-cent transportation sales tax and augments the existing 2000 Measure B sales tax program. Collection of the sales tax began on April 1, 2015.
Administered by the Alameda CTC, Measure BB funds four types of programs in 20 local jurisdictions:
bicycle and pedestrian, local streets and roads, mass transit, and paratransit.
O. Operations: Provision of services that operate transportation facilities and programs. Operations costs do not include the costs to operate community outreach or other programs not directly related to a specific transportation service, program, or product.
ATTACHMENT V
87 Alameda CTC Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Implementation Guidelines
Bicycle/Pedestrian - 3
P. Planning: Identification of project and program current conditions and needs and development of strategies and plans to address the identified needs.
Q. Project Completion/Closeout: Inspection/project acceptance, final invoicing, final reporting, and processes for closing out project.
R. Scoping and Project Feasibility: Early capital project phases that identify project needs, costs and implementation feasibility.
S. Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF): Measure F, Alameda County's VRF Program, approved by the voters in November 2010. It will generate approximately $12 million per year through a $10 per year vehicle registration fee. Administered by the Alameda CTC, the VRF funds four main types of programs (with the funding distribution noted in parenthesis): local streets and roads (60 percent); transit (25 percent); local transportation technology (10 percent); and bicycle and pedestrian projects (5 percent).
Section 5. Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Fund Allocations A. These Implementation Guidelines provide guidance on two types of Bicycle and Pedestrian Fund allocation processes for Measure B, Measure BB, and Vehicle Registration Fee funds: 1) Direct Local Distribution funds and 2) Grants.
1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Direct Local Distribution (DLD) Funds a. General: The Bicycle and Pedestrian DLD Funds are distributed to cities in the county and to Alameda County to be spent on planning and construction of bicycle and pedestrian projects, and the development and implementation of bicycle and pedestrian programs. These funds are intended to expand and enhance bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Alameda County, focusing on high priority projects like gap closures and intermodal connections.
b. Eligible Uses: The Bicycle and Pedestrian DLD funds may be used for capital projects, programs, or plans that directly address bicycle and pedestrian access, convenience, safety, and usage.
Eligible uses for these funds include, but are not necessarily limited to:
1) Capital Projects, including:
a. New pedestrian facilities (e.g. sidewalks, curb ramps, countdown signals, accessible signals)
b. Improvements to existing pedestrian facilities
c. New bikeways (such as bicycle routes, boulevards, lanes, multi-use pathways)

Implementation Guidelines and Performance Measures – Special Transportation for Seniors and People with Disabilities (Paratransit) Program
Implementation Guidelines
These guidelines lay out the service types that are eligible to be funded with Alameda County Measure B (2000) reserves and Measure BB (2014) revenues under the Special Transportation for Seniors and People with Disabilities (Paratransit) Program. All programs funded partially or in their entirety through these sources, including American with Disabilities Act (ADA)- mandated paratransit services, city programs and discretionary grant funded projects, must abide by the following requirements for each type of paratransit service. While the collection of Measure B has sunset, remaining funds continue to be utilized.
Fund recipients are able to select which of these service types are most appropriate for their community to meet the needs of older adults and people with disabilities. Overall, all programs should be designed to enhance quality of life for older adults and people with disabilities by offering accessible, affordable and convenient transportation options to reach major medical facilities, grocery stores and other important travel destinations to meet life needs. Although some programs may need to prioritize based on trip purpose due to capacity constraints, ideally, the importance of a trip should be determined by the consumer.
Performance Measures
The Alameda CTC collects performance data from all programs funded with Alameda County Measure B (2000) reserves and Measure BB (2014) revenues. All programs funded partially or in their entirety through these sources must at a minimum report annually through the Annual Compliance Report for Direct Local Distribution (DLD) funding on the performance measures identified within the Implementation Guidelines for each DLD program.
The performance measures for the Measure B and Measure BB Direct Local Distribution (DLD) funding distributed through the Special Transportation for Seniors and People with Disabilities (Paratransit) Program, which funds ADA-mandated paratransit services, city paratransit programs and discretionary grant funded projects, are identified below.

Same-Day Transportation Service Guidelines
Service
Description
Same-day transportation services provide on-demand same-day services utilizing taxis, Transportation Network Companies a.k.a. TNCs (e.g. Lyft, Uber) that use ride-hailing mobile apps, or other new transportation options. Services may be subsidized in different ways including vouchers, scrip, reimbursement, a discount code on an app, call center or website payment, etc.
Transportation Network Companies (e.g. Lyft, Uber) using ride-hailing apps and web-based platforms provide curb-to-curb service that can be scheduled on a same-day basis. TNCs charge riders on a distance/time basis depending on calculations determined by the app. Subsidy programs allow eligible consumers to use TNCs at a reduced fare by reimbursing consumers a percentage of the fare, providing a coupon code, or by providing some initial fare payment, which can be used to cover a portion of the fare. These programs are intended for situations
ATTACHMENT V
116
FY2026-27 FINAL 4
Same-Day Transportation Service Guidelines
when consumers cannot make their trip on a pre-scheduled basis. TNC trip services can incorporate a concierge service.
Taxis also provide curb-to-curb service that can be scheduled on a same-day basis. Taxis charge riders on a distance/time basis using a meter. Taxi subsidy programs offer a reduced fare by reimbursing consumers a percentage of the fare or by providing some fare medium, e.g. scrip or vouchers, which can be used to cover a portion of the fare.
The availability of accessible vehicles varies by geographical area and provider, but programs should expand availability of accessible vehicles where possible in order to fulfill requests for same-day accessible trips.
Programs may incorporate a parallel Specialized Accessible Van Service to meet the need for accessible trips.
Eligible
Population
Eligible Populations include:
1. People 18 and above with disabilities who are unable to use fixed route services. Cities may, at their discretion, also provide services to consumers with disabilities under the age of 18, and
2. Older adults 70 years or older without proof of a disability.
Program sponsors may use either ADA eligibility, as established by ADA-mandated providers (incl. East Bay Paratransit, LAVTA, Union City Transit) or the Alameda County City Paratransit Services Medical Statement Form, as proof of disability. Program sponsors may, at their discretion, also offer temporary or interim eligibility due to disability.
ADA-mandated providers that are not also city providers (East Bay Paratransit and LAVTA) are not required to provide service to older adults 70 years or older without ADA eligibility.
Time & Days of
Service
Service times should be consistent with transportation provider availability to public consumers.
Fare (Cost to
Customer)
Programs must subsidize at least 50% of the fare within an established reasonable service area (at a minimum the sponsoring city).
Programs can impose a cap on total subsidy per person. This can be accomplished through a maximum subsidy per trip, a limit on the
ATTACHMENT V
117
FY2026-27 FINAL 5
Same-Day Transportation Service Guidelines
number of vouchers/scrip (or other fare medium) per person, and/or a total monetary subsidy per person per month/quarter/year.
Other New same-day transportation programs that utilize TNCs are subject to review by Alameda CTC staff prior to implementation.
Programs may also use funding to provide incentives to drivers and/or transportation providers to ensure reliable service. Incentives are often utilized to promote accessible service. Planned expenditures on incentives are subject to review by Alameda CTC staff prior to implementation.
Generally, same-day transportation options have been inconsistent in their ability to offer WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) service.
These include taxis and programs offered via privately-owned vehicles (e.g. TNCs and volunteer driver programs). Programs should strive to provide an equitable suite of programs, balancing offering accessible alternatives (e.g. using an agency van to supplement a TNC program), searching for and developing new wheelchair accessible options, and meeting the needs of their community. New and/or separate WAV services should be included under Specialized Accessible Van Service.

Specialized Accessible Van Service Guidelines
Service
Description
Specialized accessible van service provides accessible, origin-to- destination trips on a pre-scheduled or same-day basis. This service category should complement core services in communities where critical needs for accessible or other specialized trips are not being adequately met by the existing primary services. Examples of unmet needs are a taxi or TNC program without accessible vehicles, medical trips for riders with dementia unable to safely take an ADA-mandated trip, or trips outside of the ADA-mandated service area. When possible, a priority for this service should be fulfilling requests for WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) trips as defined under the CPUC TNC Access for All (AFA)

Accessible Shuttle Service Guidelines
Service
Description
Shuttles are accessible vehicles that operate on a fixed, deviated, or flex-fixed route and schedule. They serve common trip origins and destinations visited by eligible consumers, e.g. senior centers, medical facilities, grocery stores, BART and other transit centers, community centers, commercial districts, and post offices.
Shuttles should be designed to supplement rather than duplicate existing fixed route transit services. Routes should not necessarily be designed for fast travel, but to get as close as possible to destinations of interest, such as going into parking lots or up to the front entrance of

Service
Description
Volunteer driver services are pre-scheduled, door-through-door services that are typically not accessible. These programs rely on volunteers to drive eligible consumers for critical trip needs, such as medical trips. Programs may use staff to complete intake or fill gaps in service provision. This service meets a key mobility gap by serving more vulnerable populations and should complement existing primary services (i.e. ADA-mandated, Specialized Accessible Van, or Same- Day).
Volunteer driver programs may also have an escort component where volunteers accompany consumers on any service eligible for Alameda CTC funding, when they are unable to travel in a private vehicle.

Mobility Management and/or Travel Training Program Guidelines Service
Description
Mobility management services cover a wide range of activities, such as travel training, coordinated services, trip planning, and brokerage. Mobility management activities often include education and outreach to individuals and organizations. Individual trip planning can play an important role in ensuring that people use the “best” service for them for each trip, e.g. using East Bay Paratransit from Fremont to Berkeley for an event, using a TNC (e.g. Lyft, Uber) or taxi voucher for a same-day urgent doctor visit, and scheduling with a group trip service to go grocery shopping. Service types can include information and referral, service linkage, service coordination, or advocacy.
Travel training is short-term, one-on-one or group-based intensive instruction designed to teach people with disabilities and older adults to travel safely and independently on fixed-route public transportation in their community.
3 Travel orientation, also known as transit orientation, is less formal and involved than traditional travel training and explains transportation systems by sharing information about trip planning, schedules, maps, fare systems, mobility devices, new mobility services, and benefits and services. It may be conducted in a group or one-on-one. 4 This service description should not be considered all-inclusive. Programs are welcome to contact Alameda CTC staff to discuss other mobility management activities if they need guidance.

BACKGROUND
On April 22, 20251, staff recommended City Council approve a project list for the SB1 FY26 PIP Funding. A resolution was required to submit an application to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to receive an estimated $4,000,000 in funding for pavement improvement.
On June 3, 2025
2, staff recommended City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Pavement Engineering, Inc., (PEI) for engineering services associated with the FY26 PIP. The scope of work for PEI is limited to engineering review, pavement evaluation, measurement of field quantities, curb ramp design, and construction support.
On February 24, 2026
3, Council approved the plans and specifications for the FY2 6 PIP and calls for bids to be received on March 17, 2026.
On March 5, 2026, staff issued Addendum No. 1 to revise plans and specifications.
On March 13, 2026, staff issued Addendum No. 2 to revise specifications.
On March 17, 2026 , seven (7) bids were received, six of the seven bids were under the Engineer’s Estimate. At $10,063,947.60 the low bid received by Bay Cities Paving & Grading, Inc., of Concord is $1,586,052.40, or 13.6%, under the Engineer’s Estimate of $ 11,650,000.
MCK Services, Inc., of Martinez, submitted the second lowest bid in the amount of $10,333,414.67 which is 11.3% under the Engineer’s Estimate.
Staff factored recent oil price increases and inflation costs into the engineer's estimate; however, the bids did not reflect those changes.
The PIP for each street involves one of three types of treatments:
Pavement Rehabilitation:
1) A cold plane and overlay of existing street pavement with Hot Mix Asphalt, at variable depths of 2", 2.5", or 3" (grind and replacement in kind).
Preventive Maintenance:
2) Varying combinations of: crack sealing, 6” spot repair and micro-surfacing. 3) Combination of crack sealing and spot repairs.
Street selection for the PIP is based on staff’s analysis using several criteria described on the following page:

• Technology – The Pavement Management Program (PMP) 4 evaluates current and predicts future roadway conditions. It provides logical and efficient methods of identifying street rehabilitation needs. It also determines the most cost- effective allocation of funds to the street segments needing preventive maintenance, rehabilitation or reconstruction. Staff utilized the PMP to compile an initial list of recommended streets. This list is then revised to consider other criteria and project budget allocation parameters.
• Social Equity – Whether a particular area of the City has received its fair share of improvements in the past.
• Internal Reports - Reports from the City’s Maintenance Services staff on streets needing repair were considered.
• Council Members Input – Council member requests for selecting streets were considered.
• Public Input - Public requests for selecting streets were considered. • Geographic Location – Selecting streets in close vicinity to other streets to help lower construction bids was considered.
• Funding Availability – Available funding and potential for obtaining outside grant funding was evaluated.
The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is an overall rating of road conditions. The PCI of each arterial and collector street segment is evaluated by an independent third-party every other year, and each residential street segment is evaluated every five years.
PCI Rating Description
100 This rating is given to newly constructed or rehabilitated roadways.
85 - 99 Highly functional roadway. No action required.
70 - 85 Roadway can be maintained ("preventive maintenance") with crack sealing, slurry seals, micro -surfacing, and some minor, localized pothole repairs. As the roadway pavement ages, preventive maintenance may not be effective after a few maintenance cycles.
40 - 70 Extensive "dig -outs," grinding, fabric, or asphalt overlays may be required to maintain (or "rehabilitate") roadways.
0 - 40 Roadway requires complete reconstruction using full depth reconstruction, cold in place recycling, or hot in -place recycling methods. If a street deteriorates beyond certain points, it becomes progressively more expensive to bring that street back to the desired standard.
4 The PMP is a Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) recommended software program. 138
DISCUSSION
The FY26 PIP focuses on enhancing the streets in the neighborhoods of: Jackson Triangle, Whitman Mocine, Mount Eden, and Industrial Hayward. The FY26 PIP aims to promote social equity by paving collector and arterial streets in proximity to lower socioeconomic areas, including A St, Hathaway Ave, and Western Blvd.
Staff has engaged an experienced consultant, PEI, to validate the selection of street segments and assess the approximate level of treatment required for each. Additionally, PEI will provide essential engineering support services throughout the project.
The FY26 PIP calls to install 4.9 centerline miles of bike facilities.
3.8 centerline miles of Class II bike lane striping will be installed at the following locations:
• 1.7 centerline miles of new class II bike lanes:
o A St, I-880 to Walnut Ave (0.6 miles)
o A St, Foothill Ave to City Limits (0.4 miles)
o Hathaway Ave, A St to City Limits (0.4 miles) . Staff is evaluating whether the southbound lane can be upgraded to a Class IV facility. o Main St, A St to Warrant St (0.1 miles ). Staff is evaluating whether the northbound facility can be upgraded to Class IV.
o Amaral St, Whipple Rd to Almaden Blvd (0.2 miles)
• 2.1 centerline miles maintaining existing class II bike lanes:
o Santa Clara St, A St to Winton Ave (0.7 miles), upgraded to a buffered bike lane o Tampa Ave, Tennyson Rd to Patrick Ave (0.4 miles)
o Eden Shores Blvd, Hesperian Blvd to Sand Creek Dr (0.5 miles) o Marina Dr, Industrial Pkwy to Eden Park Pl (0.5 miles)
1.1 centerline miles of Class III bike route facilities will be installed at the following locations.
Class III bike facilities are typically provided on residential streets with lower traffic speeds and volumes. They consist of signage, shared lane markings, and traffic calming treatmen ts as appropriate:
• 0.9 centerline miles of new class III bike routes:
o Orchard Ave, Soto Rd to Joyce St (0.2 miles)
o Folsom Ave, Ruus Rd to Tampa Ave (0.5 miles)
o Dune Cir, Sand Creek Dr to Bay Trail Trailhead (0.1 miles) o Sand Creek Dr, Eden Shores Blvd to Dune Cir (0.1 miles)
• 0.2 center line miles replacing existing class III bike routes:
o 5th St, B St to C St (0.1)
o 6th St, B St to C St (0.1)
