(SB) 1 (Beall, Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The program addresses basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and road system. SB 1 is funded through fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees.
The exact amount of funding the City will receive for FY 23 is unknown. However, the Public Works Department has identified a list of streets to present to CTC for funding approval. These streets were rated in the Citywide Pavement Management Program with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ranging from 21-65 (out of a maximum score of 100) indicating the need for street rehabilitation. The cost estimate for these improvements is approximately $4.2 million. Staff will only select the number of streets that can be funded by the amount of RMRA received.
The scope of rehabilitation in general consists of American with Disabilities Act compliant access ramps, localized removal and replacement of the existing pavement, asphalt concrete overlay, removal and replacement of failed sections of curb and gutter, driveways, sidewalks, cross gutters, spandrels, and adjustment of manholes and water valve covers to grade.
Because the City is receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds, staff is required to sustain a maintenance of effort (MOE) by spending at least the annual average of FY 2009-10 through FY 2011-12 general fund expenditures for street, road, and highway purposes. The City will be able to meet the MOE requirements going forward.
