TO THE TOWN ENGINEER TO ADOPT FUTURE PLAN UPDATES
Approximately every two years, competitive grant funding is made available for transportation projects under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).
One of the eligibility requirements for submitting an HSIP application is that an agency must have completed a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP). Because the Town has several projects which it believes might qualify for HSIP funding, a task order was authorized with Wood Rodgers, who serves as the Town’s on-call Traffic Engineer, to complete a draft LRSP for the Town.

Placer Local Agency Formation Commission, or Placer LAFCO, is a state mandated independent regulatory body whose role is to encourage the orderly formation of local governmental agencies, preserve agricultural and open space resources, and discourage urban sprawl through the review of city and special district boundary changes and the extension of the services they provide. Specifically, Placer LAFCO has jurisdiction within Placer County over proposed special district and city annexations and detachments, district formations and dissolutions, consolidations and mergers, city incorporations and disincorporations and the formation of subsidiary districts.

16. RFP FOR 3800 TAYLOR ROAD REDEVELOPMENT
The Town Council previously provided direction to Staff to begin the process of potentially selling several Town-owned properties. Of those properties, the WW Moulding Plant property on Taylor Road has been a particular focus. The Town previously released two RFP’s for the redevelopment of the property, and in both cases, the negotiations fell through.
Since that time, there has again been considerable interest in the property. Council directed staff to bring back a new RFP when the Strategic Plan Update was approved in May, 2022.
The attached RFP is written in a way that allows for flexibility to potential developers – staff feels it is important to “cast the net” as widely as possible. It is very similar to the last RFP but has been updated to reflect discussions during the strategic planning session.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the Town Council review the attached Request for Proposals (RFP), provide any additional input on the document, and authorize the Town Manager to release the RFP for a period of approximately 60 days.
