Item #15
Date: June 4, 2024
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Vincenzo S. Corazza, Public Works Director
Jim Schaad, City Manager
Subject: Approving SB 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project List for 2024-2025 Recommendation:
Pass a Motion to approve the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) proposed project list for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 to be submitted to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
Rationale for Recommendation:
SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California's transportation programs. Therefore, in order to be eligible for RMRA funding, statute requires cities and counties to provide basic annual RMRA project reporting to the CTC. Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, the City must submit to the CTC a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds.
Background:
On April 28, 2017, Governor Edmund G. “Jerry” Brown signed the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, known as Senate Bill 1 (SB1), increasing per gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees with future inflationary adjustments for the purpose of addressing road maintenance, rehabilitation, and roadway safety needs. The State Controller will deposit portions of the new funding into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), which will be apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties throughout the year. Funds were apportioned to cities and counties beginning in January 2018.
The City has completed and programed several street projects utilizing the findings made from the Pavement Management Program presented to City Council on April 17, 2018. At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to pursue a maintenance approach that prioritizes the maintenance of streets over the past maintenance and rehabilitation projects to try improving the Pavement Condition Index of the street system as cost effective as possible. This approach focuses on the maintenance of streets in better condition over reconstruction of the failing streets with preventative measures such as micro grinds overlays, rubberized slurry seal and crack sealing.
Item #15
On April 16, 2019, City Council approved a list of 2019 projects based on the criteria and authorized the Community Services Department to plans and specifications for the 2019 Resurfacing Project. In September 2019 the first phase of the project was bid out and the work was completed, seal coating of E. 17th Street east of Ramirez Street, but Council decided to truncate the contract to just that segment to reevaluate the scope of the improvements and project list. The revised project list was developed and adopted by the City Council in April 2020. The project was put on hold to wait for the construction of the ATP funded Bike & Pedestrian Improvements Project that was completed in 2021.
The next phase of the SB 1 funded surfacing project was the 2021 SB 1 Pavement Project that paved B Street between 1st and 3rd Streets, 1st Street between B and E Streets, and F Street between 3rd and 6th Streets. This was completed in late 2021.
Discussion & Analysis:
The City is required to submit a proposed project list to the CTC by July 1, 2024 in order to receive RMRA funds for Fiscal Year 2024-2025; once submitted, the City will continue to receive apportionments, averaging about $25,000 a month.
A current project list has been developed utilizing the previously approved projects lists that were based on findings made from the Pavement Management Program on April 17, 2018, City Council input, and projects already completed.
Note that this is a running list. The funds appropriated to the City of Marysville is typically “saved up” until there is enough to conduct a project. These projects could be funded with other funds but SB 1 funds cannot be spent on a project unless that project has been on a list adopted by City Council and submitted to the CTC by July 1 of each year. The list can be amended throughout the year.
Changes from the FY22-23 List:
1) E. 22nd St – Ramirez St to SR-20 project (added to list in 2020) has been shortened to E. 22nd St – Ramirez St to Cheim Blvd because the 2023 Measure C / SB 1 Pavement Project completed “Phase 1” of E. 22nd St from SR-20 to Cheim Blvd. This segment is now called “Phase 2” and has been funded with a $3.5M SACOG Maintenance & Modernization Grant. It’s kept on this list as an additional contingency funding source.
2) 14th St – Levee to E St (Added to list in 2022) has been removed as it was completed under the 2023 Measure C / SB 1 Pavement Project.
3) A St – 4th to 6th St (Added to list in 2022) has been removed as it was completed under the 2023 Measure C / SB 1 Pavement Project.
