BACKGROUND
In 2017, the Governor approved Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) creating the Local Streets and Roads Program, which included the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). The purpose of this funding is to provide an estimated $52.4 billion in revenue Statewide over ten years.
State Reporting Guidelines as described in Streets and Highways Code 2034(a)(1) require that local jurisdictions provide the California Transportation Commission (CTC) with an annual resolution identifying projects that may utilize RMRA. The Resolution should include the project title, description, location, schedule, and estimated useful life for each project. The resolution must also include projects previously listed that may continue to utilize prior RMRA in Fiscal Year 2024-25. At year-end, the City will submit the annual reporting of expenditures, including additions or omissions to prior project lists, which is allowable through the CTC and State Guidelines.
Since RMRA began, the City has completed resurfacing projects utilizing RMRA. For example, Auto Center Commercial Neighborhood, Vineyard Avenue Resurfacing, Fremont North Resurfacing, Bryce Canyon Resurfacing and Citywide Thin Maintenance Overlay Phase II have all been completed using RMRA.

DISCUSSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution proposing the projects listed below to use RMRA (Fund 185) funding. These projects include both operational and CIP projects and are anticipated to expend from $5.1M of new FY 2024-25 funding, as well as any unspent, previously allocated, RMRA funding:
Operational Projects:
• Public Works Road & Signal Maintenance - Provides as-needed ongoing maintenance for all City streets and traffic signal infrastructure by utilizing Public Works Streets Division Staff and Traffic Signal Operations Staff.
• Annual Pavement System Upgrade - Ongoing planning project that uses a pavement management system to identify streets for potential repair and resurfacing. This effort is described in detail below.
CIP Projects:
• Neighborhood Street Resurfacing - CIP Project
• Arterial Street Resurfacing - CIP Project
The Arterial Street and Neighborhood Street Resurfacing projects recommended for RMRA use were selected based on the methodology described below. A Project Map showing the street locations is attached.
The City maintains approximately 1,037 lane miles of streets. Consultants have performed street inspections on a three-year rotation with a third of residential and collector streets inspected each year and 100% of arterial roads receiving annual inspections. These are referred to as Rotations A, B, & C.
The Annual Pavement System Upgrade project provides funding for the City’s street resurfacing consultant, Pavement Engineering Inc. (PEI), who uses a Pavement Management System (PMS) to assist with tracking inventory, storing work history and furnishing budget estimates to optimize funding for improving the City’s pavement system using a software program called StreetSaver. The PMS also helps the City identify candidate streets for potential repair and maintenance and what sort of repair will be necessary. PEI uses a variety of measurements to determine the Pavement Condition Index, or PCI, of each road segment.
These measurements include:
1. How many cracks there are in a mile of pavement
2. How deep and long those cracks are
3. What the crack pattern is
4. What percentage of a road segment displays deficiencies
Crack/deficiency patterns include:
1. Alligator cracking
2. Block cracking
3. Longitudinal cracking
4. Transverse cracking
5. Distortions
6. Utility cuts/patches
280
7. Rutting/depressions
8. Weathering
The patterns and the percentage of roadway segments affected are entered into StreetSaver and a PCI is generated. Engineers at PEI use that information to determine the most cost-effective repair strategy. PEI will take the cost and the life expectancy of the repair to determine the annual maintenance cost. This is the critical part, allocating the proper resources necessary annually for road maintenance.
Another critical factor is when the roadway should be paved. Incorrectly timed repairs can lead to additional repairs due to deferred maintenance. There is a point on each road segment where the right timing matches up with the appropriate repair method to create a cost-effective pavement repair. Public Works staff then takes this information and considers how the timing of street repairs matches up with the timing of pipe replacement needs, and how the streets can be grouped in a way that maximizes cost-effectiveness and efficiency. This analysis is used to create the City’s Pavement Management Program, which is the method used to select projects to use RMRA funding (see the attached staff report from April 2, 2024 (Attachment 4), with additional information about the City’s pavement management program).

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.2
DATE: April 2, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Citywide Pavement Management Program Overview. (20 minutes)
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive and file a report on the Citywide Pavement Management Program Overview.
(Public Works & Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on March 12, 2024.)
Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/gJqiE9RCOlg
BACKGROUND
Oxnard’s streets and alleyways are among its most valuable assets, with a present replacement value of approximately $988.9M. Because of this high value, combined with the need to address continuous pavement wear and degradation, it is imperative to perform corrective and preventive maintenance via a strategic multi-year, multi-phase plan. This plan is implemented through individual construction projects utilizing a “toolbox” of paving methods. Such treatments generally include removal and replacement (R&R), cold milling with asphalt concrete (A/C) overlays, portland cement concrete (PCC) patching and reconstruction, and sealing (crack, slurry, cape, and micro-surfacing). Seals are typically seen as preventive maintenance (also commonly termed pavement preservation) techniques, as they do not add structural capacity to the existing pavement.
The City currently owns and maintains approximately 440.5 total centerline miles across all functional street classifications, as follows:
• Arterial and Collector – 128.6 centerline miles
• Residential – 246.8 lane miles centerline miles
• Alley – 65.1 centerline miles
This equates to a total of 95,450,658 square feet of pavement in the City’s network, as calculated by the City’s pavement management software, StreetSaver. This application, sourced from and managed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), is a planning tool used to monitor, analyze, and forecast Oxnard’s overall Pavement Management Program (PMP) and is critical to establishing a proper, phased multi-year paving cycle. Projections and computations regarding change in pavement condition versus annual funding investment are typically made over a 10-year span; for budget planning and capital project programming purposes, staff develops a phased paving project plan based on a rolling 5-year horizon, termed the Citywide Pavement Management Program.
It should be noted that the current lawsuit against the City filed by Aaron Starr and his political corporation “Moving Oxnard Forward” precludes the use of lease revenue bonds for funding pavement projects. Such bonding, commonly used for high-cost projects like street paving, is a financing mechanism traditionally used by all American cities, counties, 289
and states, that provide for funding consistency and predictability necessary for the development of a strategic, multi-year paving program. A funding source like this allows for both corrective and preventive paving work to be planned and executed predictably, with the goal of stretching the limited available funding as far as possible.
DISCUSSION
The key pavement health metric used by Oxnard is the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), which provides a snapshot of the pavement health of a road through a surface condition-based visual analysis algorithm. It is reported on a scale of 0 to 100 (0 being worst, 100 best). Oxnard’s PCI assessments are made yearly by a contracted pavement engineering consultant. According to the most recent PMP report (utilizing inspections from 2023), the average PCI of the City’s entire road network is 67; broken into roadway functional classifications, this equates to PCIs of 73 for Arterials, 69 for Collectors, 68 for Residential, and 29 for Alleys.
The Citywide Pavement Management Program is a planning and project programming roadmap for Oxnard’s paving needs over a rolling multi-year horizon, and is further broken down into project phases. Each phase is a collection of street locations that is determined by prioritization (explained below), anticipated budget, grouping of locations for construction efficiency, and other technical factors. The phases are implemented mainly through three discrete projects within the present Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Projects are separated into alleys, residential streets, and arterial streets as discussed in more detail below.
Planning over a multi-year horizon is critical for budgeting resources – both staff and financial. Adopting a capital pavement program allows Engineering staff to schedule projects according to anticipated revenues and staff workload capacity. This also makes the Council’s priorities clear to staff as grant opportunities arise that may be applicable to the planned projects.
Being a multi-year funding roadmap, there is flexibility such that new projects or street segments could be added as unforeseen year-to-year circumstances arise such as funding amounts, materials costs, accelerated pavement degradation, etc.
Prioritization
Since there are more needs than funding or staff resources to meet those needs, projects must be prioritized. A further consideration for prioritization is moving the overall pavement condition forward toward “good” (generally considered a PCI value of at least 70) and, once there, maintaining at least that level over time. City staff has developed a methodology for prioritizing and programming paving projects to meet these constraints. Generally, projects are divided into three subcategories, namely residential streets, arterial streets, and alleyways; these generally correspond with the three named paving projects in the CIP. Each subcategory has somewhat different prioritization parameters, as follows:
Project priorities for residential streets are determined by:
The average PCI and the number of lane miles are calculated for each neighborhood (Only for poor-condition streets, i.e. PCI<55). High priority is given to neighborhoods with low average Pavement Condition Index (PCI), a high number of lane miles, and a high concentration of pothole repair work.
Project priorities for arterial streets are determined by,
Average PCI and Average Daily Traffic (ADT), representing the number of vehicles using the street each day are calculated for each arterial project. High priority is given to arterial streets with low PCI, high ADT, and high number of pothole repairs.
Project priorities for alleys are determined by:
Low PCI, high population density, schools, parks, businesses, and the number of potholes repaired.
A high priority is given to alleys with low PCI, high pothole repair count, high population density, and close proximity to schools, parks, and businesses.
290
A special case exists for the above prioritization system, namely locations where there are aging, buried cast iron pipes that are historically troublesome and prone to failure. These tend to be located in alleyways, and in these places the pipe ideally should be removed and replaced before the paving work occurs. For the present multi-phase paving plan, a number of the project locations (see attachments) for the first two phases recommend the replacement of cast iron pipe ahead of the paving work. To accomplish this, funding will need to be identified and programmed separately for the CIP project titled “Water Distribution: Neighborhood Street Cast Iron Pipe Replacement”.
A high degree of weight will be placed on locations requiring a significant amount of pothole repair work. The City’s pothole repair team is the same staff that does sidewalk repair, curb/gutter repair, street sign maintenance and repair, street striping, right-of-way clean-up, etc. Pothole repair work is temporary, costly, and requires dedicated resources (i.e. staffing and equipment) for little long-term benefit. As such, the more street segments with a high pothole repair need that can be addressed with long-term corrective/preventive paving work, the better the Public Works team can leverage its limited resources. As mentioned above, there are a range of pavement treatments available, and a “mix of fixes” is usually the ideal way to proceed with a given year’s paving project. Staff has determined that, for this present multi- phase plan, the most effective paving budget split will be approximately 80% for rehabilitation (A/C mill-and-overlays, PCC concrete) and 20% for preventive maintenance (also called pavement preservation, such as slurry seals, cape seals, and micro-surfacing). Over time, as the City’s overall PCI goes up, this split will change to reflect less of a “worst first” approach that prioritizes rehabilitation, to one of “keeping good pavements good” that emphasizes maintenance and preservation.
The concept of “mix of fixes” is important to elaborate on since at first glance it may seem counter-intuitive. It is easy to think that the best way to address paving work is to fix the worst street segments (that is, streets with the lowest PCI) first. However, that approach is flawed for two general reasons. First, the degradation of asphalt concrete is not linear. As PCI scores approach around 70-65 or less, asphalt concrete degrades exponentially. Second, the cost to do corrective work such as R&R and mill-and-overlay (generally used when the PCI is less than 65-70) is 6-10 times more than the cost to do preventive/preservation work such as seals and microsurfacing (normally used where the PCI is greater than 70). Said another way, if the worst streets are the only ones done in each phase, then the streets with higher PCIs will continue to degrade untreated down past a PCI of 70, and cost 6-10 times more to fix in the future. Therefore, it’s imperative to maximize the use of pavement preservation techniques in every phase; this approach results in the least-cost per square foot, and stretches the limited amount of funding for maximum benefit. This is why Public Works staff will make recommendations to conduct paving work on several street segments in each phase with higher PCIs than other streets that have lower PCIs.
Pavement Maintenance Program Phasing
A traditional pavement management program (PMP) is separated by fiscal years to include the identification of the total amount of paving work (e.g. street segments) that can be done in each fiscal year with the known or required funding amount. However, with the Aaron Starr lawsuit, bonding is not currently available to Oxnard. The City prevailed in the lawsuit at the trial court level, but Aaron Starr immediately filed an appeal. The appeal process could take a year for the case to be briefed and argued, and for the court to issue a ruling. As such, planning for street paving work must be modified until such time the lawsuit process is complete.
The City’s 2023 pavement management report indicates that $19.4M dollars (hard construction costs) should be spent each fiscal year to maintain the current PCI. When adding in the soft costs (design, inspection, material testing, etc) the estimated total amount per year is $23.3M dollars. However, with bond funding unavailable, the long-term planning for pavement rehabilitation and maintenance is hampered. The amount of new annual Gas Tax for CIP paving projects, in addition to the anticipated Measure O funding for alley work, amounts to $6.25M for next Fiscal Year instead of the $23.3M per year to maintain the current PCI. Therefore, Public Works has organized the PMP into phases rather than fiscal years. Using a phased approach allows for the flexibility to adjust funding amounts (higher or lower) to avoid unrealistic expectations from the public about when streets will be paved. It should be noted that any funds remaining once current paving construction projects are completed will be carried over to next fiscal year and can be used for Phase 1 work.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
291
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact to receive and file this report and provide input. Depending on input and direction from the City Council during the annual Operating and CIP budget process, there are several issues to address. Presently, due to the City’s current inability to bond for projects resulting from the Aaron Starr lawsuit, the new funding specifically available for street paving for next Fiscal Year is solely from gas tax and anticipated Measure O revenue in the amount of approximately $6.25M. With this amount, the City can pave only one residential street project and a few alleyways identified in Phase 1. Should there be an opportunity to provide more funding, additional streets from Phase 1 may be included in this year’s project scope.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
The Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on March 12, 2024 to approve the staff recommendation and to forward the item to the City Council as a receive and file report.

RECOMMENDATION 3
295
BACKGROUND 4
April 2017 - Governor signed Senate Bill 1
(SB1) also known as the Road Repair and
Accountability Act of 2017.
● SB1 increases fuel taxes and vehicle registration to provide the State an estimated $5.4 billion annually to fix roadways. ● SB1 is distributed through several programs including the Roadway Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA).
296
BACKGROUND 5
● RMRA Provides City with funding on a per-capita basis ● Use is restricted to road maintenance and rehabilitation when the Citywide pavement condition index (PCI) is below 79 ● PCI since RMRA funding began:
2017 - PCI 61
2018 - PCI 62
2019 - PCI 61
2020 - PCI 63
2021 - PCI 65
2022 - PCI 66
2023 - PCI 67
297
DISCUSSION 6
● California Transportation Commission (CTC) requires
agencies adopt a Resolution listing projects utilizing RMRA. ● Staff recommends the following listed projects to expend $5.1m of new FY 2024-25 funding, as well as any unspent, previously allocated, RMRA funding:
Operational Projects:
● Public Works Road & Signal Maintenance*
● Annual Pavement System Upgrade*
CIP Projects:
● Neighborhood Street Resurfacing*
● Arterial Street Resurfacing*
*List of streets and neighborhoods attached to Staff Report 298
DISCUSSION 7
• Street inspections are performed on a three-year rotation by Pavement Engineering Inc (PEI):
• 1/3rd of residential and collector streets are
inspected each year
• 100% of arterial roads inspected each year
• Pavement Management System (PMS) is used to:
• Track inventory, store work history, and estimate cost • Identify candidate streets for potential repair and
maintenance
299
DISCUSSION 8
• PEI uses a variety of measurements to determine the
Pavement Condition Index (PCI) including:
• How many cracks there are in a mile of pavement
• How deep and long those cracks are
• What the crack pattern is
• What percentage of a road segment displays deficiencies • Crack and deficiency patterns include:
• Alligator cracking
• Block cracking
• Longitudinal cracking
• Transverse cracking
300
DISCUSSION 9
• The patterns and the percentage of roadway segment are entered into the StreetSaver database and a PCI is generated. • Information is used to determine the most cost effective repair strategy:
• Cost of repair + life expectancy = annual maintenance cost • Timing repairs accurately minimizes deferred maintenance • This means not spending more than what is necessary on an annual basis on road maintenance

BACKGROUND
The City’s Environmental Resources Division (ER) provides municipal automated collection of residential and commercial customers mixed organics waste which includes yard waste, wood waste, and food waste. The Division receives approximately 22,000 tons of inbound organic waste annually and diverts approximately over 17,400 tons per year, including 13,000 tons of yard waste, 3,000 tons of wood waste, and 1,400 tons of food waste from its municipal collection programs and the Del Norte Regional Recycling & Transfer Station (Del Norte).
The City of Oxnard has contracted with Agromin for organic waste processing since 1996. Yard waste is hauled to Agromin Organics Recycling at Limoneira Farms in Santa Paula. Wood waste and food waste are hauled to Agromin Organics Recycling, located on the same property as Simi Valley Landfill. This contract does not propose to use other Agromin facilities in the area.
DISCUSSION
The current agreement with Agromin expires on June 30, 2024. On February 5, 2024, the City of Oxnard Purchasing Division issued a request for bids (RFB PW24-81) to solicit bids from vendors for organic waste recycling services. The RFB PW24-81 was posted on the City’s website and www.publicpurchase.com. Only one vendor bid by the closing date, March 5, 2024. Agromin was determined to be the lowest most responsive bidder. Agromin meets all required City contractual provisions, including possession of a City business tax certificate, insurance certificates, and corporate filing with the California Secretary of State. Based upon the 306
available information and research performed to date, staff believes that this vendor is capable of satisfactorily meeting the needs of the City.
Agromin bid the following rates in Table 1.

The agreement's new RFB scope of work will also allow the City to purchase mulch and compost from Agromin at a discounted rate. SB 1383 requires all jurisdictions in California to annually procure a target amount of recovered organic waste products, such as mulch or compost, for use or giveaway by the jurisdiction.
The City’s annual recovered organic waste product procurement target is calculated by CelRecycle every five years and is based on the City’s population. CalRecycle calculated the City’s annual procurement target to be 16,374 tons for calendar year 2022 through 2026.
Agromin will be responsible for tracking the City’s compliance with SB 1383’s recovered organic waste product procurement by providing qualified and approved mulch and compost at a discounted fee for the City’s use. A City-wide mulch and compost giveaway program for residents will be created by ER staff and executed by Agromin. Agromin will be responsible for promoting the City’s residential compost and mulch giveaway program. Agromin will also be responsible for assisting the City to meet its annual procurement target.
Agromin will be providing input to the City’s educational programs designed to reduce contamination in the organic waste stream; yard waste, wood waste and food waste. In addition, Agromin will assist with outreach and promotional efforts to increase the amount of organic waste recycled by residential and commercial customers.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS
Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start -up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notes of cancellation.
Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for general liability and automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached.
Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.
