PREPARED BY: Julian Lee, Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. CC-2206-032 Approving FY 2022-23 Budget List of Projects Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 - Senate Bill 1 (SB 1)
BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) (Beall, Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Act). To address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and road system, SB 1 increased the per-gallon fuel excise tax, the diesel fuel sales tax, and the vehicle registration fee.
The objective of the program is to address deferred maintenance on the local streets and roads system through the prioritization and delivery of basic road maintenance and rehabilitation projects as well as critical safety projects.
Cities receiving Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds under the Act must comply with all relevant federal and state laws, regulations, policies, and procedures. The main requirements include the following:
• Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the Controller in a fiscal year, a city must submit to the Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds.
• The list of projects must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.
• The Commission will report to the Controller the cities that have submitted a list of projects and that are, therefore, eligible to receive an apportionment of RMRA funds for the applicable fiscal year.
• The Controller, upon receipt of the report from the Commission, shall apportion RMRA funds to eligible cities.
• For each fiscal year in which RMRA funds are received and expended, a city must submit documentation to the Commission that includes a description and location of each completed project, the amount of funds expended on the project, the completion date, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.
City Council Meeting – June 21, 2022
Adopt Resolution No. CC-2206-032 Approving FY 2022-23 Budget List of Projects Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 - Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) 2 • A city receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds is required to sustain a maintenance of effort (MOE) by spending at least the annual average of its general fund expenditures during the FY 2022-2023 for street, road, and highway purposes from the city’s general fund.
Monitoring and enforcement of the MOE requirement for RMRA funds will be carried out by the Controller.
• By July 1, 2023, cities receiving RMRA funds must follow guidelines developed by the California Workforce Development Board (Board) that address participation and investment in, or partnership with, new or existing pre-apprenticeship training programs.
STAFF REVIEW
Staff has assembled a list of streets and/or projects for the FY 2022-2023 submittal to the California Transportation Commission in accordance with the RMRA funding guidelines. The list of street segments identified for repair are streets having some of the lowest Pavement Condition Index (PCI) as identified in the City’s 2019 Pavement Management Program (PMP) Report. A PCI was established for each street segment as a method to identify its operating condition. PCI is a numerical index used as a rating mechanism, ranging from 0 for failed pavement to 100 indicating pavement in perfect condition.
The use of the PCI has been adopted nationwide as a standard rating system. The program provides costeffective maintenance strategies to maintain an acceptable level of service while optimizing available fiscal resources. The program also provides an optimized priority maintenance and rehabilitation program using cost/benefit analysis based on current available funds and projected future funding allocations.
The street segments identified and recommended for repair are shown in the attached Exhibit “A”, incorporated herein by this reference. In accordance with the RMRA requirements, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the project list via resolution.
The City of Lawndale’s FY 2022-23 and probable future annual RMRA allocation is estimated to be $522,000 according to the State Department of Finances’ statewide projections.
