REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept the City of Redding Treasurer’s Report for the month of July 2022.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to accepting the report.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose to not accept the report and provide direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
Attached is the Treasurer’s Report for the month ended July 31, 2022, the July 2022 Portfolio Management Report, and a summary of the City of Redding’s (City) portfolio. For comparative purposes, prior month information is also reported.

The City’s portfolio meets the requirements of Investment Policy No. 408. The Investment Advisory Committee met on July 28 to perform the required annual review of the investment policy for the City (Policy 408). There were small recommended changes to the subheadings within the investment policy to reflect the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) best practices. Market values for securities are obtained from US Bank Institutional Trust and Custody Department. The Treasurer’s accountability total may be measured against the Finance Department ACR 133 cash reconciliation report for July 2022.

The effective monthly rate of return for City Treasurer-managed funds during July 2022 was

1.27 percent, a gain of ten basis points from June 2022. The beginning of new Fiscal Year 2022- 23, the rate of return resets to the July rate of 1.27, a gain of fifty-four basis points from Fiscal Year End June 2022 rate of return. A basis point equals one one-hundredth of one percent, or

0.01 percent.

Re: 4(c)--Treasurer's Report - July 2022 Page 2
Investment activity in the portfolio during the month of July 2022 included the purchase of two Federal Agency Coupon Bonds. In addition, there was an adjustment in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) to accommodate cash flow for the PERS prepayment described below.

The Treasurer’s Accountability changed from $294,576,548 to $269,471,284 a decrease of $25,105,264. In July, the City prepaid its PERS contribution of over $23 million. By prepaying, the City receives a significant savings in excess of $795,000.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize submission of a grant application to the United States Department of Transportation Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program for $300,000 to fund an eligible action plan which would establish eligibility for future SS4A implementation funding opportunities between $5,000,000 and $30,000,000.

Fiscal Impact
If awarded, the City of Redding (City) would receive up to $300,000 in U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) SS4A Program funding with a 20 percent local matching funds requirement that would total approximately $60,000 to the General Fund or equivalent in-kind contributions.

The development of an action plan may open the door to future funding opportunities for infrastructure, behavioral, and operational costs related to the goal of eliminating roadway fatalities. Those opportunities could result in funding between $5,000,000 and $30,000,000 in the four subsequent funding cycles.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to authorize a grant application to the US DOT SS4A Program; in that case, the City of Redding would not be considered for an award from the US DOT SS4A Program. The City would not be eligible for implementation funding in future funding cycles without an eligible action plan.

Report to Redding City Council August 29, 2022
Re: 4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program Page 2
Background/Analysis
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) established the new Safe Streets and Roads for All discretionary program with $5 billion in appropriated funds over the next 5 years. Up to $1 billion is available in Fiscal Year 2022 - 23. The aim of the SS4A program is to fund regional, local, and tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries.

The SS4A program is comprised of two types of grants – action plan grants and implementation grants. The City would be requesting $300,000 initially for an Action Planning grant. In order to be eligible for implementation grant funding that could pay for design and construction of future projects, the City must either have or develop an eligible action plan. While an eligible action plan does not necessarily have to be Vision Zero, containing a leadership commitment to zero roadway fatalities, the U.S. Department of Transportation states in the SS4A program guidelines that this is a component of an effective action plan.

Once the action plan is completed and adopted, the City would have an opportunity to access funding between $5,000,000 and $30,000,000 in each subsequent application cycle for implementing projects outlined in the new action plan.

Environmental Review
Authorizing the grant application does not have any foreseeable environmental impact.

Opportunities for future environmental review exist before any concrete action is taken. If awarded, the Council will consider whether to accept a grant award or not for the proposed grant activity, which is planning in nature. If the grant agreement is accepted, the development of the plan would include opportunities for public input.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management – “Achieve balanced and stable 10-year Financial Plans for all funds.”
• Public Safety – “Work to improve all aspects of public safety to help people feel secure and safe where they live, work, and play in the City of Redding.” • Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”

A. Program Description

1. Overview
Section 24112 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117–58, November 15, 2021; also referred to as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” or “BIL”) authorized and appropriated $1 billion to be awarded by the Department of Transportation for FY 2022 for the SS4A grant program. This NOFO solicits applications for activities to be funded under the SS4A grant program. The FY22 funding will be implemented, as appropriate and consistent with law, in alignment with the priorities in Executive Order 14052, Implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (86 FR 64355).7 The purpose of SS4A grants is to improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through safety action plan development and implementation focused on all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, motorists, personal conveyance and micromobility users, and commercial vehicle operators. The program provides funding to develop the tools to help strengthen a community’s approach to roadway safety and save lives and is designed to meet the needs of diverse local, Tribal, and regional communities that differ dramatically in size, location, and experience administering Federal funding.

The SS4A program provides funding for two types of grants: Action Plan Grants (for comprehensive safety action plans) and Implementation Grants. Action Plan Grants are used to develop, complete, or supplement a comprehensive safety action plan. To apply for an Implementation Grant, an eligible 7 The priorities of Executive Order 14052, Implementation of the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act are: to invest efficiently and equitably, promote the competitiveness of the U.S. economy, improve job opportunities by focusing on high labor standards and equal employment opportunity, strengthen infrastructure resilience to hazards including climate change, and to effectively coordinate with State, local, Tribal, and territorial government partners.

Packet Pg. 97
Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 6 applicant must have a qualifying Action Plan. Implementation Grants are available to implement strategies or projects that are consistent with an existing Action Plan. Applicants for Implementation Grants can self-certify that they have in place one or more plans that together are substantially similar to and meet the eligibility requirements for an Action Plan. i. Action Plan Grants
An Action Plan is the foundation of the SS4A grant program. Action Plan Grants provide Federal funds to eligible applicants to develop or complete an Action Plan. Action Plan Grants may also fund supplemental Action Plan activities. The goal of an Action Plan is to develop a holistic, well-defined strategy to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries in a locality, Tribe, or region. Further information on eligibility requirements is in Section C.

The primary deliverable for an Action Plan Grant is a publicly available Action Plan. For the purposes of the SS4A grant program, an Action Plan includes the components in Table 1. DOT considers the process of developing an Action Plan to be critical for success, and the components reflect a processoriented set of activities.

Table 1: Action Plan Components
Component Description
Leadership Commitment and Goal Setting An official public commitment (e.g., resolution, policy, ordinance, etc.) by a highranking official and/or governing body (e.g., Mayor, City Council, Tribal Council, MPO
Policy Board, etc.) to an eventual goal of zero
roadway fatalities and serious injuries. The
commitment must include a goal and timeline
for eliminating roadway fatalities and serious
injuries achieved through one, or both, of the
following:
(1) the target date for achieving zero roadway
fatalities and serious injuries, OR
(2) an ambitious percentage reduction of
roadway fatalities and serious injuries by a
specific date with an eventual goal of
eliminating roadway fatalities and serious
injuries.

Planning Structure A committee, task force, implementation group, or similar body charged with oversight
of the Action Plan development,
implementation, and monitoring.

Packet Pg. 98
Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 7 Component Description
Safety Analysis Analysis of existing conditions and historical trends that provides a baseline level of crashes
involving fatalities and serious injuries across
a jurisdiction, locality, Tribe, or region.

Includes an analysis of locations where there
are crashes and the severity of the crashes, as
well as contributing factors and crash types by
relevant road users (motorists, people
walking, transit users, etc.). Analysis of
systemic and specific safety needs is also
performed, as needed (e.g., high-risk road
features, specific safety needs of relevant road
users, public health approaches, analysis of
the built environment, demographic, and
structural issues, etc.). To the extent practical,
the analysis should include all roadways
within the jurisdiction, without regard for
ownership. Based on the analysis performed,
a geospatial identification of higher-risk
locations is developed (a High-Injury
Network or equivalent).

Engagement and Collaboration Robust engagement with the public and relevant stakeholders, including the private
sector and community groups, that allows for
both community representation and feedback.

Information received from engagement and
collaboration is analyzed and incorporated
into the Action Plan. Overlapping
jurisdictions are included in the process. Plans
and processes are coordinated and aligned
with other governmental plans and planning
processes to the extent practical.

Equity Considerations Plan development using inclusive and representative processes. Underserved
communities are identified through data and
other analyses in collaboration with
appropriate partners.8 Analysis includes both
population characteristics and initial equity
impact assessments of the proposed projects
and strategies.
8 An underserved community as defined for this NOFO is consistent with the Office of Management and Budget’s Interim Guidance for the Justice40 Initiative (https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/M-21-28.pdf) and the Historically Disadvantaged Community designation, which includes U.S. Census tracts identified in this table and mapping tool https://datahub.transportation.gov/stories/s/tsyd-k6ijand https://usdot.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/99f9268777ff4218867ceedfabe58a3a; any Tribal land; or any territory or possession of the United States.

Packet Pg. 99
Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 8 Component Description
Policy and Process Changes Assessment of current policies, plans, guidelines, and/or standards (e.g., manuals) to
identify opportunities to improve how
processes prioritize transportation safety. The
Action Plan discusses implementation
through the adoption of revised or new
policies, guidelines, and/or standards, as
appropriate.

Strategy and Project Selections Identification of a comprehensive set of projects and strategies, shaped by data, the
best available evidence and noteworthy
practices, as well as stakeholder input and
equity considerations, that will address the
safety problems described in the Action Plan.

These strategies and countermeasures focus
on a Safe System Approach, effective
interventions, and consider multidisciplinary
activities. To the extent practical, data
limitations are identified and mitigated.

Once identified, the list of projects and
strategies is prioritized in a list that provides
time ranges for when the strategies and
countermeasures will be deployed (e.g.,
short-, mid-, and long-term timeframes). The
list should include specific projects and
strategies, or descriptions of programs of
projects and strategies, and explains
prioritization criteria used. The list should
contain interventions focused on
infrastructure, behavioral, and/or operational
safety.

Progress and Transparency Method to measure progress over time after an Action Plan is developed or updated,
including outcome data. Means to ensure
ongoing transparency is established with
residents and other relevant stakeholders.

Must include, at a minimum, annual public
and accessible reporting on progress toward
reducing roadway fatalities and serious
injuries, and public posting of the Action Plan
online.
a) Supplemental Action Plan Activities:

Supplemental action plan activities support or enhance an existing Action Plan. To fund supplemental Action Plan activities through the SS4A program, an applicant must have an existing Action Plan, or a plan that is substantially similar and meets the eligibility requirements for having an existing plan. The Packet Pg. 100 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 9 plan components may be contained within several documents. Table 2 in Section C is a Self-Certification Eligibility Worksheet with instructions to determine whether an existing plan meets the eligibility requirements. Supplemental action plan activities could include, but are not limited to: a second round of analysis; expanded data collection and evaluation using integrated data; testing action plan concepts before project and strategy implementation; feasibility studies using quick-build strategies that inform permanent projects in the future (e.g., paint, plastic bollards, etc.); follow-up stakeholder engagement and collaboration; targeted equity assessments; progress report development; and complementary planning efforts such as speed management plans, accessibility and transition plans, racial and health equity plans, and lighting management plans. Additional information on supplemental action plan activities is located at https://www.transportation.gov/SS4A.

Applicants that have an existing plan that is substantially similar to and meets the eligibility requirements of an Action Plan may alternatively choose to fund supplemental Action Plan activities through an application for an Implementation Grant rather than an Action Plan Grant. See Section A.2.ii below.
ii. Implementation Grants
Implementation Grants fund projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan that address roadway safety problems. Implementation Grants may also fund associated planning and design and supplemental Action Plan activities in support of an existing Action Plan. DOT encourages Implementation Grant applicants to include supplemental Action Plan activities in their application to further improve and update existing plans. Applicants must have an existing Action Plan to apply for Implementation Grants or have an existing plan that is substantially similar and meets the eligibility requirements of an Action Plan. If applicants do not have an existing Action Plan, they should apply for Action Plan Grants and NOT Implementation Grants. The plan components may be contained within several documents. Table 2 in Section C is a Self-Certification Eligibility Worksheet with instructions to determine eligibility to apply for an Implementation Grant. Additional information on eligibility requirements and eligible activities is in Section C below.

3. SS4A Grant Priorities
This section discusses priorities specific to SS4A and those related to the Department’s overall mission, which are reflected in the selection criteria and NOFO requirements. Successful grant applications will demonstrate engagement with a variety of public and private stakeholders and seek to adopt innovative technologies and strategies to:
• Promote safety;
• Employ low-cost, high-impact strategies that can improve safety over a wider geographic area;
• Ensure equitable investment in the safety needs of underserved communities, which includes both underserved urban and rural communities;
• Incorporate evidence-based projects and strategies; and • Align with the Department’s mission and with priorities such as equity, climate and sustainability, quality job creation, and economic strength and global competitiveness.

The Department seeks to award Action Plan Grants based on safety impact, equity, and other safety considerations. For Implementation Grants, DOT seeks to make awards to projects and strategies that Packet Pg. 101 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 10 save lives and reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries; incorporate equity, engagement, and collaboration into how projects and strategies are executed; use effective practices and strategies; consider climate change, sustainability, and economic competitiveness in project and strategy implementation; and will be able to complete the full scope of funded projects and strategies within five years after the establishment of a grant agreement. Section D provides more information on the specific measures an application should demonstrate to support these goals.

The SS4A grant program aligns with both Departmental and Biden-Harris Administration activities and priorities. The National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS, issued January 27, 2022) commits the Department to respond to the current crisis in roadway fatalities by “taking substantial, comprehensive action to significantly reduce serious and fatal injuries on the Nation’s roadways,” in pursuit of the goal of achieving zero roadway deaths. 9 DOT recognizes that zero is the only acceptable number of deaths on our roads, and achieving that is our long-term safety goal. The outcomes that are anticipated from the SS4A program also support the FY 2022-2026 DOT Strategic Plan and the accompanying safety performance goals such as a medium-term goal of a two-thirds reduction in roadway fatalities by 2040.10 As part of the NRSS, the Department adopted the Safe System Approach as a guiding principle to advance roadway safety. The Safe System Approach addresses the safety of all road users. It involves a paradigm shift to improve safety culture, increase collaboration across all safety stakeholders, and refocus transportation system design and operation on anticipating human mistakes and lessening impact forces to reduce crash severity and save lives. For more information on the Safe System Approach, see the NRSS.

DOT encourages communities to adopt and implement Complete Streets policies that prioritize the safety of all users in transportation network planning, design, construction, and operations.11 A full transition to a Complete Streets design model requires leadership, identification and elimination of barriers, and development of new policies, rules, and procedures to prioritize safety. A Complete Street includes, but is not limited to: sidewalks, curb ramps, bike lanes (or wide paved shoulders), special bus lanes, accessible public transportation stops, safe and accommodating crossing options, median islands, pedestrian signals, curb extensions, narrower travel lanes, and roundabouts.12 Recipients of Federal financial assistance are required to ensure the accessibility of pedestrian facilities in the public right-ofway. See Section F.2 of this NOFO for program requirements.

The NOFO aligns with and considers Departmental policy priorities that have a nexus to roadway safety and grant funding. As part of the Department’s implementation of Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad (86 FR 7619), the Department seeks to fund applications that, to the extent possible, target at least 40 percent of benefits towards low-income and underserved communities. DOT also seeks to award funds under the SS4A grant program that proactively address equity and barriers to opportunity, or redress prior inequities and barriers to opportunity. DOT supports the policies in Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government (86 FR 7009), to pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all, including people of color, rural communities, and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality. An important area for DOT’s focus is the disproportionate, adverse safety impacts that affect certain groups 9 https://www.transportation.gov/NRSS
10 https://www.transportation.gov/dot-strategic-plan 11 Complete Streets are defined in the Definitions table at the beginning of the document. 12 More information on Complete Streets can be found at https://highways.dot.gov/complete-streets Packet Pg. 102 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 11 on our roadways, particularly people walking and biking in underserved communities. See Section F.2.i of this NOFO for equity-related program requirements.

As part of the United States’ commitment to a whole-of-government approach to reaching net-zero emissions economy-wide by 2050 and a 50–52 percent reduction in emissions from 2005 levels by 2030, BIL and its associated transportation funding programs permit historic investments to improve the resilience of transportation infrastructure, helping States and communities prepare for hazards such as wildfires, floods, storms, and droughts exacerbated by climate change. DOT’s goal is to encourage the advancement of projects and strategies that address climate change and sustainability. To enable this, the Department encourages applicants to consider climate change and sustainability throughout the planning and project development process, including the extent to which projects and strategies under the SS4A grant program align with the President’s greenhouse gas reduction, climate resilience, and environmental justice commitments.

The Department intends to use the SS4A grant program to support the creation of good-paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union, and the incorporation of strong labor standards and workforce programs, in particular registered apprenticeships, joint labor-management programs, or other high-quality workforce training programs, including high-quality pre-apprenticeships tied to registered apprenticeships, in project planning stages and program delivery. Grant applications that incorporate such considerations support a strong economy and labor market.

Consistent with the Department’s Rural Opportunities to Use Transportation for Economic Success (ROUTES) initiative, the Department seeks to award funding to rural applications that address disproportionately high fatality rates in rural communities. For applicants seeking to use innovative technologies and strategies, the Department’s Innovation Principles serve as a guide to ensure innovations reduce deaths and serious injuries while committing to the highest standards of safety across technologies. 13
B. Federal Award Information

1. Total Funding Available
The BIL established the SS4A program with $5,000,000,000 in advanced appropriations in Division J, including $1,000,000,000 for FY 2022. Therefore, this Notice makes available up to $1 billion for FY 2022 grants under the SS4A program. Refer to Section D for greater detail on additional funding considerations and Section D.5 for funding restrictions.

2. Availability of Funds
Grant funding obligation occurs when a selected applicant and DOT enter into a written grant agreement after the applicant has satisfied applicable administrative requirements. Unless authorized by DOT in writing after DOT’s announcement of FY 2022 SS4A grant awards, any costs incurred prior to DOT’s obligation of funds for activities (“pre-award costs”) are ineligible for reimbursement. All FY 2022 SS4A funds must be expended within five years after the grant agreement is executed and DOT obligates the funds.

3. Award Size and Anticipated Quantity
13 https://www.transportation.gov/priorities/innovation/us-dot-innovation-principles. Released January 6, 2022.

Packet Pg. 103 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 12 In FY 2022, DOT expects to award hundreds of Action Plan Grants, and up to one hundred Implementation Grants. The Department reserves the right to make more, or fewer, awards. DOT reserves the discretion to alter minimum and maximum award sizes upon receiving the full pool of applications and assessing the needs of the program in relation to the SS4A grant priorities in Section A.3.
i. Action Plan Grants
For Action Plan Grants, award amounts will be based on estimated costs, with an expected minimum of $200,000 for all applicants, an expected maximum of $1,000,000 for a political subdivision of a State or a federally recognized Tribal government, and an expected maximum of $5,000,000 for a metropolitan planning organization (MPO) or a joint application comprised of a multijurisdictional group of entities that is regional in scope (e.g., a multijurisdictional group of counties, a council of governments and cities within the same region, etc.). The Department will consider applications with funding requests under the expected minimum award amount. DOT reserves the right to make Action Grant awards less than the total amount requested by the applicant.

Joint applications that engage multiple jurisdictions in the same region are encouraged, in order to ensure collaboration across multiple jurisdictions and leverage the expertise of agencies with established financial relationships with DOT and knowledge of Federal grant administration requirements.

Applicants may propose development of a single Action Plan covering all jurisdictions, or several plans for individual jurisdictions, administered by the leading agency. ii. Implementation Plan Grants
For Implementation Grants, DOT expects the minimum award will be $5,000,000 and the maximum award will be $30,000,000 for political subdivisions of a State. For applicants who are federally recognized Tribal governments or applicants in rural areas, DOT expects the minimum award will be $3,000,000 and the maximum award will be $30,000,000. For an MPO or a joint application comprised of a multijurisdictional group of entities that is regional in scope, the expected maximum award will be $50,000,000. For the purposes of the SS4A grant program award size minimum, rural is defined as an area outside an Urbanized Area (UA) or located within a UA with a population of fewer than 200,000.14 DOT reserves the right to make Implementation Grant awards less than the total amount requested by the applicant.

4. Start Dates and Period of Performance
DOT expects to obligate SS4A award funding via a signed grant agreement between the Department and the recipient, as flexibly and expeditiously as possible, within 12 months after awards have been announced. Applicants who have never received Federal funding from DOT before are encouraged to partner with eligible applicants within the same region, such as an MPO, that have established financial relationships with DOT and knowledge of Federal grant administration requirements. While States are not eligible applicants and cannot be a co-applicant, eligible applicants are encouraged to separately partner with States and other entities experienced with administering Federal grants, outside of the SS4A grant award process, to ensure effective administration of a grant award. The expected period of 14 Current lists of Urbanized Areas are available on the U.S. Census Bureau website at http://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/dc10map/uauc_refmap/ua/. For the purposes of the SS4A program, Urbanized Areas with populations fewer than 200,000 will be considered rural.

Packet Pg. 104 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 13 performance for Action Plan Grant agreements is between 12 and 24 months. The period of performance for Implementation Grant agreements may not exceed five years.

5. Data Collection Requirements
Under the BIL, the Department shall post on a publicly available website best practices and lessons learned for preventing roadway fatalities and serious injuries pursuant to strategies or interventions implemented under SS4A. Additionally, DOT shall evaluate and incorporate, as appropriate, the effectiveness of strategies and interventions implemented under the SS4A grant program.15 The Department intends to measure safety outcomes through a combination of grant agreement activities and data collections, DOT data collections already underway, and program evaluations separate from the individual grant agreements in accordance with Section F.3.iii. The grant data-collection requirements reflect the need to build evidence of noteworthy strategies and what works. The Department expects to use the data and outcome information collected as part of the SS4A in evaluations focused on before and after studies.

All award recipients shall submit a report that describes:
• The costs of each eligible project and strategy carried out using the grant; • The roadway safety outcomes and any additional benefits (e.g., increased walking, biking, or transit use without a commensurate increase in crashes, etc.) that each such project and strategy has generated, as—
o Identified in the grant application; and
o Measured by data, to the maximum extent practicable; and • The lessons learned and any recommendations relating to future projects or strategies to prevent death and serious injury on roads and streets.

All recipients must provide aggregated annual crash data on serious injuries and fatalities for the duration of the period of performance for the jurisdiction or jurisdictions for which funds were awarded.

These data will provide the information for metrics on changes in serious injuries and fatalities over time.

Implementation Grant recipients must also provide crash data on serious injury and fatalities in the locations where projects and strategies are implemented, which are expected to include crash characteristics and contributing factor information associated with the safety problems being addressed.

Data that measure outcomes for the specific safety problems addressed are required and could include, but are not limited to, aggregated information by road user, safety issue, and demographic characteristics such as race and gender. For Implementation Grants that undertake projects and strategies to foster applied research and experimentation to inform project and strategy effectiveness, additional data collection requirements will be negotiated with the applicant before a grant agreement is established.

Federally recognized Tribal governments receiving grants may request alternative data collection 15 BIL specifically cites Countermeasures That Work: A Highway Safety Countermeasure Guide for State Highway Safety Offices, Ninth Editionor any successor document, but DOT also is to consider applied research focused on infrastructure and operational projects and strategies.

Packet Pg. 105 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 14 requirements during grant agreement formulation, as appropriate. This information will be gathered on a quarterly basis in a Performance Progress Report (SF-PPR).16 To fulfill the data collection requirements and in accordance with the U.S. DOT Public Access Plan, award recipients must consider, budget for, and implement appropriate data management, for data and information outputs acquired or generated during the course of the grant.17, 18 Applicants are expected to account for data and performance reporting in their budget submission.

C. Eligibility Information

1. Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants for SS4A grants are (1) a metropolitan planning organization (MPO); (2) a political subdivision of a State or territory; (3) a federally recognized Tribal government; and (4) a multijurisdictional group of entities described in any of the aforementioned three types of entities. A multijurisdictional group of entities described in (4) should identify a lead applicant as the primary point of contact. For the purposes of this NOFO, a political subdivision of a State under (2), above, is defined as a unit of government under the authority of State law. This includes cities, towns, counties, special districts, and similar units of local government. A transit district, authority, or public benefit corporation is eligible if it was created under State law, including transit authorities operated by political subdivisions of a State. States are not eligible applicants, but DOT encourages applicants to coordinate with State entities, as appropriate.

Eligible MPOs, transit agencies, and multijurisdictional groups of entities with a regional scope are encouraged to support subdivisions of a State such as cities, towns, and counties with smaller populations within their region. The Department strongly encourages such joint applications for Action Plan Grants, and for applicants who have never received Federal funding and can jointly apply with entities experienced executing DOT grants.

An eligible applicant for Implementation Grants must also meet at least one of these conditions: (1) have ownership and/or maintenance responsibilities over a roadway network; (2) have safety responsibilities that affect roadways; or (3) have agreement from the agency that has ownership and/or maintenance responsibilities for the roadway within the applicant’s jurisdiction. For the purposes of this NOFO, an applicant’s jurisdiction is defined as the U.S. Census tracts where the applicant operates or performs their safety responsibilities.

2. Cost Sharing or Matching
The Federal share of a SS4A grant may not exceed 80 percent of total eligible activity costs.

Recipients are required to contribute a local matching share of no less than 20 percent of eligible activity costs. All matching funds must be from non-Federal sources. In accordance with 2 CFR § 200.306, grant recipients may use in-kind or cash contributions toward local match requirements so long as those contributions meet the requirements under 2 CFR § 200.306(b). Matching funds may include funding from the applicant, or other SS4A-eligible non-Federal sources partnering with the applicant, which could include, but is not limited to, funds from the State. Any in-kind contributions used to fulfill the cost-share requirement for Action Plan and Implementation Grants must: be in accordance with the cost 16 https://www.sbir.gov/sites/default/files/SF%20PPR.pdf 17 https://doi.org/10.21949/1520559 18 United States. Department of Transportation. (2022)DOT Public Access[Home page]. https://doi.org/10.21949/1503647 Packet Pg. 106 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 15 principles in 2 CFR § 200 Subpart E; include documented evidence of completion within the period of performance; and support the execution of the eligible activities in Section C.4.

SS4A funds will reimburse recipients only after a grant agreement has been executed, allowable expenses are incurred, and valid requests for reimbursement are submitted. Grant agreements are expected to be administered on a reimbursement basis, and at the Department’s discretion alternative funding arrangements may be established on a case-by-case basis.

3. Grant Eligibility Requirements
If an applicant is eligible for both an Action Plan Grant and an Implementation Grant, the applicant may only apply for an Action Plan Grant or an Implementation Grant, not both. An eligible applicant may only submit one application to the funding opportunity. Action Plan Grant funding recipients are not precluded from applying for Implementation Grants in future funding rounds. i. Action Plan Grant Eligibility Requirements
The Action Plan Grant eligibility requirements are contingent on whether an applicant is requesting funds to develop or complete an Action Plan, or if the applicant is requesting funds for supplemental action plan activities. Applicants may not apply to develop or complete an Action Plan and fund supplemental action plan activities in the current round of funding. a) Eligibility Requirements to Develop or Complete an Action Plan Any applicant that meets the eligibility requirements may apply for an Action Plan Grant to develop or complete an Action Plan. Applicants with an existing Action Plan may also apply to develop a new Action Plan.
b) Eligibility Requirements for Supplemental Action Plan Activities Applicants for Action Plan Grants to fund supplemental action plan activities must either have an established Action Plan with all components described in Table 1 in Section A, or an existing plan that is substantially similar and meets the eligibility requirements. Table 2 below provides instructions to determine eligibility for applicants that have a substantially similar plan. The components required for an established plan to be substantially similar to an Action Plan may be found in multiple plans. State-level action plans (e.g., a Strategic Highway Safety Plan required in 23 U.S. Code (U.S.C.) § 148, State Highway Safety Plans required in 23 U.S.C. § 402, etc.) or Public Transportation Agency Safety Plans in 49 U.S.C. § 5329 cannot be used as an established plan. It is recommended that applicants include this eligibility worksheet as part of their narrative submission. If this Self-Certification Eligibility Worksheet is not used, applicants must describe how their established plan is substantially similar to an Action Plan as part of the Narrative, based on the criteria in Table 2 below.

Packet Pg. 107 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 16 Table 2: Self-Certification Eligibility Worksheet
Worksheet instructions: The purpose of the worksheet is to determine whether an applicant’s existing plan is substantially similar to an Action Plan, or not. For each question below, answer yes or no. For each yes, cite the specific page in your existing Action Plan or other plan/plans that corroborate your response, provide supporting documentation, or provide other evidence. Refer to Table 1 for further details on each component. Note: The term Action Plan is used in this worksheet; it covers either a stand-alone Action Plan or components of other plans that combined comprise an Action Plan.

Instructions to affirm eligibility: Based on the questions in this eligibility worksheet, an applicant is eligible to apply for an Action Plan Grant that funds supplemental action plan activities, or an Implementation Grant, if the following two conditions are met:
• Questions 3, 7, and 9 are answered “yes.” If Question 3, 7, or 9 is answered “no,” the plan is not substantially similar and ineligible to apply for Action Plan funds specifically for a supplemental action plan activity, nor an Implementation Grant. • At least four of the six remaining Questions are answered “yes” (Questions 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, or 8).

If both conditions are met, an applicant has a substantially similar plan.

ii. Implementation Grant Eligibility Requirements
To apply for an Implementation Grant, the applicant must certify that they have an existing plan which is substantially similar to an Action Plan. The plan or plans should be uploaded as an attachment to your application. Use Table 2, Self-Certification Eligibility Worksheet, from the previous section to determine eligibility. The existing plan must be focused, at least in part, on the roadway network within the applicant’s jurisdiction. The components required for an existing plan to be substantially similar to an Action Plan may be found in multiple plans. State-level action plans (e.g., a Strategic Highway Safety Plan required in 23 U.S.C. § 148, State Highway Safety Plans required in 23 U.S.C. § 402, Commercial Vehicle Safety Plans required in 49 U.S.C. § 31102, etc.) as well as Public Transportation Agency Safety Plans in 49 U.S.C. § 5329 cannot be used as an established plan to apply for an Implementation Grant.

Packet Pg. 110 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 19 4. Eligible Activities and Costs
i. Eligible Activities
Broadly, eligible activity costs must comply with the cost principles set forth in with 2 CFR, Subpart E (i.e., 2 CFR § 200.403 and § 200.405). DOT reserves the right to make cost eligibility determinations on a case-by-case basis. Eligible activities for grant funding include the following three elements:
• (A) developing a comprehensive safety action plan or Action Plan (i.e., the activities outlined in Section A.2.i in Table 1 and the list of supplemental Action Plan activities); • (B) conducting planning, design, and development activities for projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan; and
• (C) carrying out projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan.

For Action Plan Grants, eligible activities and costs only include those that directly assist in the development of the Action Plan, element (A), and/or supplemental action plan activities in support of an existing Action Plan or plans.

For Implementation Grants, activities must include element (C) “carrying out projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan,” and may include element (B) “conducting planning, design, and development activities for projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan” and/or element (A) “supplemental action plan activities in support of an existing Action Plan.” Projects and strategies identified in element (C) must be either infrastructure, behavioral, or operational activities identified in the Action Plan, and must be directly related to addressing the safety problem(s) identified in the application and Action Plan. Examples of eligible Implementation Grant activities are listed on the SS4A website located at www.transportation.gov/SS4A. The following activities are not eligible for element (C) “projects and strategies” funding:
• Projects and strategies whose primary purpose is not roadway safety. • Projects and strategies exclusively focused on non-roadway modes of transportation, including air, rail, marine, and pipeline. Roadway intersections with other modes of transportation (e.g., atgrade highway rail crossings, etc.) are eligible activities. • Capital projects to construct new roadways used for motor vehicles. New roadways exclusively for non-motorists is an eligible activity if the primary purpose is safety-related. • Infrastructure projects primarily intended to expand capacity to improve Levels of Service for motorists on an existing roadway, such as the creation of additional lanes. • Maintenance activities for an existing roadway primarily to maintain a state of good repair.

However, roadway modifications on an existing roadway in support of specific safety-related projects identified in an Action Plan are eligible activities. • Development or implementation of a public transportation agency safety plan (PTASP) required by 49 U.S.C. § 5329. However, a PTASP that identifies and addresses risks to pedestrians, bicyclists, personal conveyance and micromobility users, transit riders, and others may inform Action Plan development.

Packet Pg. 111 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 20 All projects and strategies must have equity—the consistent, fair, just, and impartial treatment of all people—at their foundation. This includes traffic enforcement strategies. As part of the Safe System Approach adopted in the USDOT’s National Roadway Safety Strategy, any activities related to compliance or enforcement efforts to make our roads safer should affirmatively improve equity outcomes as part of a comprehensive approach to achieve zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries. The SS4A program can be used to support safety projects and strategies that address serious safety violations of drivers (e.g., speeding, alcohol and drug-impaired driving, etc.), so long as the proposed strategies are data-driven and demonstrate a process in alignment with goals around community policing and in accordance with Federal civil rights laws and regulations. 19 Funds may not be used, either directly or indirectly, to support or oppose union organizing. ii. Project and Strategy Location
For Implementation Grants, applications must identify the problems to be addressed, the relevant geographic locations, and the projects and strategies they plan to implement, based on their Action Plan or established plan. This should include specific intervention types to the extent practicable. To provide flexibility in the implementation of projects and strategies that involve systemic safety strategies or bundling of similar countermeasures, an applicant may wait to specify specific site locations and designs for the projects and strategies as part of executing the grant agreement, if necessary, upon approval of the Department and so long as the identified site locations and designs remain consistent with the intent of the award.

Overview
This section should provide an introduction, describe the safety context, jurisdiction, and any highlevel background information that would be useful to understand the rest of the application.

II. Location
This section of the application should describe the jurisdiction’s location, the jurisdiction’s HighInjury Network or equivalent geospatial identification (geographic or locational data using maps) of higher risk locations, and potential locations and corridors of the projects and strategies. Note that the applicant is not required to provide exact locations for each project or strategy; rather, the application should identify which geographic locations are under consideration for projects and strategies to be implemented and what analysis will be used in a final determination.

III. Response to Selection Criteria
This section should respond to the criteria for evaluation and selection in Section E.1.ii of this Notice and include compelling narrative to highlight how the application aligns with criteria #1 Safety Impact; #2 Equity, Engagement, and Collaboration; #3 Effective Practices and Strategies; and #4 Climate Change and Sustainability, and Economic Competitiveness. Note, criterion #1 Safety Impact assesses “implementation cost” information, which will be described in SF-424C and the d) Budget of the narrative and does not need to be duplicated in this portion of the narrative.

The applicant must respond to each of the four criteria. Applicants are not required to follow a specific format, but the organization provided, which addresses each criterion separately, promotes a clear discussion that assists evaluators. To minimize redundant information in the application, the Department encourages applicants to cross-reference from this section of their application to relevant substantive information in other sections of the application. To the extent practical, DOT encourages applicants to use and reference existing content from their Action Plan/established plan(s) to demonstrate their comprehensive, evidence-based approach to improving safety.

IV. Project Readiness
The applicant must provide information to demonstrate the applicant’s ability to substantially execute and complete the full scope of work in the application proposal within five years of when the grant is executed, with a particular focus on design and construction, as well as environmental, permitting, and approval processes. Applicants should indicate if they will be seeking permission to use roadway design standards that are different from those generally applied by the State in which the project is located. As part of this portion of the narrative, the applicant must include a detailed activity schedule that identifies all major project and strategy milestones. Examples of such milestones include: State and local planning approvals; start and completion of National Environmental Policy Act and other Federal environmental reviews and approvals including permitting; design completion; right of way acquisition; approval of plans, specifications, and estimates; procurement; State and local approvals; public involvement; partnership and implementation agreements; and construction. Environmental review documentation should describe in detail known project impacts, and possible mitigation for those impacts. When a project results in impacts, it is expected an award recipient will take steps to engage the public.

This section of the application should describe the budget for the SS4A proposal. Applicants are required to provide a brief budget summary and provide a high-level overview of estimated activity costs, as organized by all major cost elements. The budget should provide itemized estimates of the costs of the proposed projects and strategies at the individual component level. This includes capital costs for infrastructure safety improvements and costs associated with behavioral and operational safety projects and strategies. The section should also distinguish between the three eligible activity areas: (A) supplementing action plan activities in support of an existing Action Plan; (B) conducting planning, design, and development activities for projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan; and (C) carrying out projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan.

Funding sources should be grouped into two categories: SS4A funding Federal share, and nonFederal share funds. Estimated costs or value of in-kind matches should also be provided. The budget should show how each source of funds will be spent. This budget should not include any previously incurred expenses, or costs to be incurred before the time of award and obligation because these expenses are not eligible for reimbursement or cost-sharing. If non-Federal share funds or in-kind contributions are from entities who are not the applicant, include commitment letters or evidence of allocated cost share as a supporting document. DOT requires applicants use form SF-424C, and the applicant must also provide the information in Table 3 below.

Packet Pg. 120 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 29 E. Application Review Information

1. Selection Criteria
This section specifies the criteria DOT will use to evaluate and select applications for SS4A grant awards. The Department will review merit criteria for all applications. Each of the two grant types to be made available through the SS4A grant program, Action Plan Grant and Implementation Grant, will have its own set of application review and selection criteria. i. Action Plan Grant Selection Criteria
For Action Plan Grants, the Department will use three evaluation criteria. The Department will evaluate quantitative data in two selection criteria areas: #1 Safety Impact; and #2 Equity. The Department will also assess the narrative for #3 Additional Safety Considerations. Costs will also be considered.

Selection Criterion #1: Safety Impact. The activities are in jurisdictions that will likely support a significant reduction or elimination of roadway fatalities and serious injuries involving various road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, personal conveyance and micromobility users, motorists, and commercial operators, within the timeframe proposed by the applicant. The Department will assess safety impact using two quantitative ratings:
• The count of roadway fatalities from 2016 to 2020 based on DOT’s FARS data, an alternative traffic crash dataset, or a comparable data set with roadway fatality information. 24 • The fatality rate, which is calculating using the 5-year annual average from the total count of fatalities from 2016 to 2020 (based on FARS data or an alternative traffic crash dataset) divided by the 2020 2019 population of the applicant’s jurisdiction based on 2020 2019 ACS data U.S.

Census population data. The rate should be normalized to per 100,000 persons.

Selection Criterion #2: Equity. The activities will ensure equitable investment in the safety needs of underserved communities in preventing roadway fatalities and injuries, including rural communities. The Department will assess the equity criterion using one quantitative rating:
• The percentage of the population in the applicant’s jurisdiction that resides in an Underserved Community Census tract.25 Population of a Census tract, either a tract that is Underserved Community or not, must be based on 2020 2019 ACS data U.S. Census population data.

Selection Criterion #3: Additional Safety Considerations. The Department will assess whether the applicant has considered any of the following in the development of the Action Plan:
• Employ low-cost, high-impact strategies that can improve safety over a wider geographical area; • Engage with a variety of public and private stakeholders (e.g., inclusive community engagement, community benefit agreements, etc.);
• Seek to adopt innovative technologies or strategies to promote safety and equity; and 24 https://cdan.dot.gov/query 25 https://usdot.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/d6f90dfcc8b44525b04c7ce748a3674a https://usdot.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/99f9268777ff4218867ceedfabe58a3a Packet Pg. 121 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 30 • Include evidence-based projects or strategies.

The applicant must address these considerations in narrative form.

Additional Consideration: Budget Costs
The Department will assess the extent to which the budget and costs to perform the activities required to execute the Action Plan Grant are reasonable based on 2 CFR § 200.404. ii. Implementation Grant Selection Criteria
Implementation Grants have four merit criteria: #1 Safety Impact; #2 Equity, Engagement, and Collaboration; #3 Effective Practices and Strategies; and #4 Climate Change and Economic Competitiveness. Two additional considerations will also be used in the selection process: Project Readiness, and Funds to Underserved Communities. The response to each criterion, to the extent practicable, should be aligned with the applicant’s Action Plan. Below describes the specific content the applicant should respond to for each of these criteria.

Selection Criterion #1: Safety Impact. DOT will assess whether the proposal is likely to:
significantly reduce or eliminate roadway fatalities and serious injuries; employ low-cost, high-impact strategies over a wide geographic area; and include evidence-based projects and strategies. Safety impact is the most important criterion and will be weighed more heavily in the review and selection process. The Department will assess the applicant’s description of the safety problem, safety impact assessment, and costs as part of the Safety Impact criterion:
• Description of the safety problem. DOT will assess the extent to which:
o The safety problem is described, including historical trends, fatal and serious injury crash locations, contributing factors, and crash types by category of road user. o Crashes and/or crash risk are displayed in a High-Injury Network, hot spot analysis, or similar geospatial risk visualization.
o Safety risk is summarized from risk models, hazard analysis, the identification of high-risk roadway features, road safety audits/assessments, and/or other proactive safety analyses. • Safety impact assessment. DOT will assess the extent to which projects and strategies:
o Align with and address the identified safety problems. o Are supported by evidence to significantly reduce or eliminate roadway fatalities and serious injuries involving various road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, personal conveyance and micromobility users, motorists, and commercial vehicle operators.
o Use low-cost, high-impact strategies and projects that can improve safety over a wider geographical area.
o Measure safety impact through models, studies, reports, proven noteworthy practices, Crash Modification Factors (CMF), and other information on project and strategy effectiveness. o Include a multi-disciplinary, systemic approach that relies on redundancies to reduce safety risks.
o Will have safety benefits that persist over time.

Packet Pg. 122 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 31 • Implementation Costs. DOT will assess the extent to which projects and strategies are itemized and summarized, including capital costs for infrastructure, behavioral, and operational safety improvements.

Selection Criterion #2: Equity, Engagement, and Collaboration. This criterion supports the legislative requirements to assess the extent to which the application ensures the equitable investment in the safety needs of underserved communities, and demonstrates engagement with a variety of public and private stakeholders. The response to this criterion should focus on equity, engagement, and collaboration in relation to the implementation of the projects and strategies. DOT will assess the extent to which projects and strategies:
• Ensure equitable investment in underserved communities in preventing roadway fatalities and serious injuries, including rural communities.
• Are designed to decrease existing disparities identified through equity analysis. • Consider key population groups (e.g., people in underserved communities, children, seniors, Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, other persons of color, persons with disabilities, persons who live in rural areas, and persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality) to ensure the impact to these groups is understood and addressed.
• Include equity analysis, both quantitative and qualitative, and stakeholder engagement in underserved communities as part of the development and implementation process. • Include meaningful engagement with the public, including public involvement for underserved communities, community benefit agreements, and relevant stakeholders such as private sector and community groups, as part of implementation.
• Leverage partnerships within their jurisdiction, with other government entities, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, academic institutions, and/or other relevant stakeholders to achieve safety benefits while preventing unintended consequences for persons living in the jurisdiction.
• Inform representatives from areas impacted on implementation progress and meaningfully engage over time to evaluate the impact of projects and strategies on persons living in the jurisdiction. • Align with the equity analysis performed as part of the development of an existing Action Plan.

Selection Criterion #3: Effective Practices and Strategies. DOT will assess the extent to which the application employs low-cost, high-impact strategies that can improve safety over a wide geographical area, includes evidence-based projects or strategies that improve safety, and seeks to adopt innovative technologies or strategies to promote safety and equity. The response to this criterion needs to address, at a minimum, one of the four effective practices and strategies from the list below, which includes: create a safer community; Safe System Approach; Complete Streets; and innovative practices and technologies. If the applicant responds to more than one of the four options, the option that is rated highest in the review process will be used for the rating of this criterion.
• Create a safer community. DOT will assess the extent to which the projects and strategies:
o Establish basic, evidence-based roadway safety infrastructure features, including but not limited to sidewalks and separated bicycle lanes.

Packet Pg. 123 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 32 o Improve safety for all road users along a roadway network using proposed Public-Rights-ofWay Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). 26 o Use evidence-based, proven, and effective safety countermeasures to significantly improve existing roadways.27
o Use evidence-based Countermeasures that Work with four or five stars to address persistent behavioral safety issues and consider equity in their implementation.28 o Apply systemic safety practices that involve widely implemented improvements based on high-risk roadway features correlated with particular severe crash types. • Safe System Approach. DOT will assess the extent to which the projects and strategies:
o Encompass at least two of the five safety elements in the National Roadway Safety Strategy (Safer People, Safer Roads, Safer Speeds, Safer Vehicles, and Post-Crash Care). This may include a mix of infrastructure, behavioral, and operational safety projects and strategies. o Create a transportation system that accounts for and mitigates human mistakes. o Incorporate data-driven design features that are human-centric, limit kinetic energy, and are selected based on the physical limits of people’s crash tolerances before injury or death occurs.
o Support actions and activities identified in the Department’s National Roadway Safety Strategy that are evidence-based.
• Complete Streets. DOT will assess the extent to which the projects and strategies:
o Account for the safety of all road users in their implementation through evidence-based activities.
o Are supported by an existing Complete Streets Policy that prioritizes safety in standard agency procedures and guidance or other roadway safety policies that have eliminated barriers to prioritizing the safety of all users, or includes supplemental planning activities to achieve this. Consider the management of the right of way using a data-driven approach (e.g., delivery access, features that promote biking and micromobility, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, etc.).
o Improve accessibility and multimodal networks for people outside of a motor vehicle, including people who are walking, biking, rolling, public transit users, and have disabilities. o Incorporate the proposed PROWAG, and any actions in an established the American with Disabilities Act Transition Plan to correct barriers to individuals with disabilities. • Innovative practices and technologies. DOT will assess the extent to which the projects and strategies:
o Incorporate practices that promote efficiency within the planning and road management lifecycle (e.g., dig once, etc.).
o Integrate additional data beyond roadway and crash information to inform implementation and location, such as data on the built environment.

o Adopt innovative technologies or practices to promote safety and equity. These could include infrastructure, behavioral, operational, or vehicular safety-focused approaches.

Selection Criterion #4: Climate Change and Sustainability, and Economic Competitiveness. This program's focus on equity and safety are also advanced by considerations of how applications address climate and sustainability considerations, as well as whether applications support economic competitiveness. DOT will assess the extent to which the projects and strategies use safety strategies to support the Departmental strategic goals of climate change and sustainability, and economic strength and global competitiveness, and the extent to which the proposal is expected to:
• Reduce motor vehicle-related pollution such as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. • Increase safety of lower-carbon travel modes such as transit and active transportation. • Incorporate lower-carbon pavement and construction materials. • Support fiscally responsible land use and transportation efficient design that reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
• Includes storm water management practices and incorporates other climate resilience measures or feature, including but not limited to nature-based solutions that improve built and/or natural environment while enhancing resilience.
• Lead to increased economic or business activity due to enhanced safety features for all road users. • Increase mobility and expand connectivity for all road users to jobs and business opportunities, including people in underserved communities.
• Improve multimodal transportation systems that incorporate affordable transportation options such as public transit and micromobility.
• Demonstrate a plan or credible planning activities and project delivery actions to advance quality jobs, workforce programs, including partnerships with labor unions, training providers, education institutions, and hiring policies that promote workforce inclusion. • Result in high-quality job creation by supporting good-paying jobs with a free and fair choice to join a union, incorporate strong labor standards (e.g., wages and benefits at or above prevailing; use of project labor agreements, registered apprenticeship programs, pre-apprenticeships tied to registered apprenticeships, etc.), and/or provide workforce opportunities for historically underrepresented groups (e.g., workforce development program, etc.).

Additional Consideration: Project Readiness
Applications rated as “Highly Recommended” or “Recommended” based on the selection Criteria 1 through 4 will be reviewed for Project Readiness, which will be a consideration for application selection.

Project Readiness focuses on the extent to which the applicant will be able to substantially execute and complete the full scope of work in the Implementation Grant application within five (5) years of when the grant is executed. This includes information related to required design and construction standards, as well Packet Pg. 125 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 34 as environmental, permitting, and approval processes. DOT will evaluate the extent to which the application:
• Documents all applicable local, State, and Federal requirements. • Includes information on activity schedule, required permits and approvals, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) class of action and status, State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) status, public involvement, right-of-way acquisition plans, procurement schedules, multi-party agreements, utility relocation plans and risk and mitigation strategies, as appropriate. • Is reasonably expected to begin any construction-related projects in a timely manner consistent with all applicable local, State, and Federal requirements.

Additional Consideration: Funds to Underserved Communities.

The percentage of Implementation Grant funds that will be spent in, and provide safety benefits to, locations in census tracts designated as underserved communities as defined by this NOFO will be considered as part of application selection.29 DOT will use this information in support of the legislative requirement to ensure equitable investment in the safety needs of underserved communities in preventing roadway fatalities and injuries. Higher percentages of funding to underserved communities will be generally viewed favorably by DOT, and the Department encourages applicants to leverage project and strategy activities to the extent practical and in alignment with the safety problems identified in an Action Plan.

2. Review and Selection Process
This section addresses the BIL requirement to describe the methodology for evaluation in the NOFO, including how applications will be rated according to selection criteria and considerations, and how those criteria and considerations will be used to assign an overall rating. The SS4A grant program review and selection process consists of eligibility reviews, merit criteria review, and Senior Review. The Secretary makes the final selections.
i. Action Plan Grant Review and Selection Process
The process for the application plan review is described below:
• Teams of Department and contractor support staff review all applications to determine eligibility based on the eligibility information in Section C.
• Eligible Action Plan applications received by the deadline will be reviewed for their merit based on the selection criteria in Section E.1.i.
• Applications are scored numerically based on Merit Criteria #1 Safety Impact and #2 Equity Criteria.
29 An underserved community as defined for this NOFO is consistent with the Office of Management and Budget’s Interim Guidance for the Justice40 Initiative and the Historically Disadvantaged Community designation, which includes: U.S. Census tracts identified in this table https://datahub.transportation.gov/stories/s/tsyd-k6ij; any Tribal land; or any territory or possession of the United States.

Packet Pg. 126 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 35 • The #3 Additional Safety Considerations criterion narrative will be reviewed and assessed as either “qualified,” meaning the application addresses the criterion at least in part, or “not qualified,” meaning the application does not address the criterion. Applications that do not address the #3 Additional Safety Considerations and are deemed “not qualified” will not be considered.
• Action Plan Grant applications to develop or complete a new Action Plan will be noted and prioritized for funding.
• In order to ensure that final selections will meet the statutory requirement that no more than 15 percent of program funds may be awarded to eligible applicants in one State, applications will have their State location denoted. Tribal awards are not counted towards this 15 percent maximum.
• The Teams will examine the locations of the applicants to identify if multiple applicants requested funding for the same jurisdiction. DOT reserves the right to request applicants with duplicative funding requests consolidate their efforts as one multijurisdictional group prior to receiving an award, and may decline to fund duplicative applications irrespective of their individual merits. ii. Implementation Grant Review and Selection Process
a) Overall Selection Process and Ratings
Teams of Department and contractor support staff review all applications to determine whether they are eligible applicants based on the eligibility information in Section C. All eligible Implementation Grant applications received by the deadline will be reviewed and receive ratings for each of these criteria:
#1 Safety Impact; #2 Equity, Engagement, and Collaboration; #3 Effective Practices and Strategies; #4 Climate Change and Sustainability, and Economic Competitiveness. Based on the criteria ratings, an overall application rating of “Highly Recommended,” “Recommended,” “Acceptable,” or “Not Recommended” will be assigned. Criterion #1, Safety Impact, will be weighted most heavily.

b) Safety Impact Criterion Rating Methodology
For the #1 Safety Impact criterion, the Department will assess three subcomponents to determine a result in an overall rating of “high,” “medium,” and “low,” or “non-responsive.” The three subcomponents are: the description of the safety problem; the safety impact assessment; and the implementation costs.

Packet Pg. 129 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 38 The description of the safety problem sub-rating will use the guidelines below:

iii. Senior Review Team Phase
a) Action Plan Grant Senior Review Team Phase
For the Action Plan Grants, the Secretary will set thresholds for each of the three quantitative criteria ratings based on their distribution, the number of applicants, and the availability of funds. Eligible applicants who meet or exceed the threshold in any of the three criteria will be offered Action Plan Grant award funding. A composite rating of the three criteria will not be made, and each criterion will be considered separately. Based on the overall application pool, available funding, and legislative requirements, the Secretary reserves the discretion to set the threshold(s) most advantageous to the U.S.

Government’s interest. The Secretary will consult with a Senior Review Team (SRT) to make the threshold determinations. Additionally, the Secretary may choose to prioritize Action Plan Grants that are developing or completing an Action Plan over Action Plan Grant applications focused on supplemental action plan activities because an Action Plan is a prerequisite to applying for Implementation Grants in future NOFOs.
b) Implementation Grant Senior Review Team Phase
Once every Implementation Grant application has been assigned an overall rating based on the methodology above, all “Highly Recommended” applications will be included in a list of Applications for Consideration. The SRT will review whether the list of “Highly Recommended” applications is sufficient to ensure that no more than 15 percent of the FY 2022 funds made available are awarded to eligible applicants in a single State. “Recommended” applications may be added to the proposed list of Applications for Consideration until a sufficient number of applications are on the list to ensure that all Packet Pg. 132 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 41 the legislative requirements can be met and funding would be fully awarded. “Recommended” applications with a “High” Safety Impact Criterion rating will be prioritized and considered first. If that produces an insufficient list, “Recommended” applications with a “Medium” Safety Impact Criterion rating and a “High” rating for the Equity, Engagement, and Collaboration Criterion will also be considered. The SRT will also review all “Highly Recommended” applications that received an “Unlikely” project readiness rating, and either remove those applicants from the Applications for Consideration, OR recommend a reduced scope to minimize the risk the applicant will not complete the scope of work within five years of the grant agreement execution.

Additionally, to ensure the funding awards align to the extent practicable to the program goal of equitable investment in the safety needs of underserved communities, the SRT may review “Recommended” applications and set a threshold based on the percentage of funds that will be spent in, and provide safety benefits to, locations within underserved communities. Any “Recommended” applications at or above that threshold will be included in the proposed list of Applications for Consideration.

For each grant type, the SRT will present the list of Applications for Consideration to the Secretary, either collectively or through a representative of the SRT. The SRT may advise the Secretary on any application on the list of Applications for Consideration, including options for reduced awards, and the Secretary makes final selections. The Secretary’s selections identify the applications that best address program requirements and are most worthy of funding.

3. Additional Information
Prior to entering into a grant agreement, each selected applicant will be subject to a risk assessment as required by 2 CFR § 200.206. The Department must review and consider any information about the applicant that is in the designated integrity and performance system accessible through SAM (currently the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)). An applicant may review information in FAPIIS and comment on any information about itself that a Federal awarding agency previously entered. The Department will consider comments by the applicant, in addition to the other information in FAPIIS, in making a judgment about the applicant's integrity, business ethics, and record of performance under Federal awards when completing the review of risk posed by applicants.

Because award recipients under this program may be first-time recipients of Federal funding, DOT is committed to implementing the program as flexibly as permitted by statute and to providing assistance to help award recipients through the process of securing a grant agreement and delivering both Action Plan activities and Implementation Grant projects and strategies. Award recipients are encouraged to identify any needs for assistance in delivering the Implementation Grant projects and strategies so that DOT can provide directly, or through a third party, sufficient support and technical assistance to mitigate potential execution risks.

Packet Pg. 133 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 42 F. Federal Award Administration Information

1. Federal Award Notices
Following the evaluation outlined in Section E, the Secretary will announce awarded applications by posting a list of selected recipients at www.transportation.gov/SS4A.The posting of the list of selected award recipients will not constitute an authorization to begin performance. Following the announcement, the Department will contact the point of contact listed in the SF-424 to initiate negotiation of a grant agreement.

2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements
i. Equity and Barriers to Opportunity
Each applicant selected for SS4A grant funding must demonstrate effort to improve equity and reduce barriers to opportunity as described in Section A. Award recipients that have not sufficiently addressed equity and barriers to opportunity in their planning, as determined by the Department, will be required to do so before receiving funds, consistent with Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government (86 FR 7009).30 ii. Labor and Workforce
Each applicant selected for SS4A grant funding must demonstrate, to the full extent possible consistent with the law, an effort to create good-paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union and incorporation of high labor standards as described in Section A. To the extent that applicants have not sufficiently considered job quality and labor rights in their planning, as determined by the Department of Labor, the applicants will be required to do so before receiving funds, consistent with Executive Order 14025, Worker Organizing and Empowerment (86 FR 22829), and Executive Order 14052, Implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (86 FR 64335).

As expressed in section A, equal employment opportunity is an important priority. The Department wants to ensure that sponsors have the support they need to meet requirements under EO 11246, Equal Employment Opportunity (30 FR 12319, and as amended). All Federally assisted contractors are required to make good faith efforts to meet the goals of 6.9 percent of construction project hours being performed by women and goals that vary based on geography for construction work hours and for work being performed by people of color.31 Projects over $35 million shall meet the requirements in Executive Order 14063, Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects (87 FR 7363).

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has a Mega Construction Project Program through which it engages with project sponsors as early as the design phase to help promote compliance with non-discrimination and affirmative action obligations. Through the program, OFCCP offers contractors and subcontractors extensive compliance assistance, conducts compliance evaluations, and helps to build partnerships between the project sponsor, prime contractor, subcontractors, and relevant stakeholders. OFCCP will identify projects that receive an award under this notice and are required to participate in OFCCP’s Mega Construction Project Program from a wide range of federally assisted projects over which OFCCP has jurisdiction and that have a project cost above 30 An illustrative example of how these requirements are applied to recipients can be found here:
https://cms.buildamerica.dot.gov/buildamerica/financing/infra-grants/infra-fy21-fhwa-general-terms-and-conditions 31 https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ofccp/ParticipationGoals.pdf Packet Pg. 134 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 43 $35 million. DOT will require project sponsors with costs above $35 million that receive awards under this funding opportunity to partner with OFCCP, if selected by OFCCP, as a condition of their DOT award. Under that partnership, OFCCP will ask these project sponsors to make clear to prime contractors in the pre-bid phase that project sponsor’s award terms will require their participation in the Mega Construction Project Program. Additional information on how OFCCP makes their selections for participation in the Mega Construction Project Program is outlined under “Scheduling” on the Department of Labor website: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ofccp/faqs/construction-compliance. iii. Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience
It is the policy of the United States to strengthen the security and resilience of its critical infrastructure against both physical and cyber threats. Each applicant selected for SS4A grant funding must demonstrate, prior to the signing of the grant agreement, effort to consider and address physical and cyber security risks relevant to the transportation mode and type and scale of the activities. Award recipients that have not appropriately considered and addressed physical and cyber security and resilience in their planning, design, and oversight, as determined by the Department and the Department of Homeland Security, will be required to do so before receiving Implementation Grant funds for construction, consistent with Presidential Policy Directive 21, Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience and the National Security Presidential Memorandum on Improving Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure Control Systems. Additionally, funding recipients must be in compliance with 2 CFR § 200.216 and the prohibition on certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment.

Award recipients shall also consider whether projects in floodplains are upgraded consistent with the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard, to the extent consistent with current law, in Executive Order 14030, Climate-Related Financial Risk (86 FR 27967), and Executive Order 13690, Establishing a Federal Flood Risk Management Standard and a Process for Further Soliciting and Considering Stakeholder Input (80 FR 6425).
iv. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)
Funding recipients must comply with NEPA under 42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq. and the Council on Environmental Quality’s NEPA implementing regulations at 40 CFR §§ 1500-1508, where applicable. v. Other Administrative and Policy Requirements
All awards will be administered pursuant to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards found in 2 CFR § 200, Subpart F, as adopted by the Department at 2 CFR § 1201. Additionally, as permitted under the requirements described above, applicable Federal laws, rules, and regulations of the relevant operating administration (e.g., the Federal Highway Administration, etc.) administering the activities will apply to the activities that receive SS4A grants, including planning requirements, Stakeholder Agreements, and other requirements under the Department’s other highway and transit grant programs. DOT anticipates grant recipients to have varying levels of experience administering Federal funding agreements and complying with Federal requirements, and DOT will take a risk-based approach to SS4A program grant agreement administration to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

The Department will also provide additional technical assistance and support resources to first-time DOT funding recipients and those who request additional support, as appropriate. With respect to highway projects, except as otherwise noted in this NOFO, please note that these grants are not required Packet Pg. 135 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 44 to be administered under Title 23 of the U.S.C., which establishes requirements that are generally applicable to funding that is provided by formula to State departments of transportation32. Therefore, the administration and implementation of SS4A grants should be more streamlined for the entities that are eligible for SS4A awards.

As expressed in Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future Is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers (86 FR 7475), it is the policy of the executive branch to maximize, consistent with law, the use of goods, products, and materials produced in, and services offered in, the United States.

Infrastructure projects are subject to the Build America, Buy America Act (Pub. L. No 117–58, div. G §§ 70901–70927) as clarified in OMB Memorandum M-22-11.33 The Department expects all recipients to be able to complete their projects without needing a waiver. However, to obtain a waiver, a recipient must be prepared to demonstrate how they will maximize the use of domestic goods, products, and materials in constructing their project. Projects under this notice will be subject to the domestic preference requirements at § 70914 of the Build America, Buy America Act, as implemented by OMB, and any awards will contain the award terms specific in M-22-11.

SS4A award recipients should demonstrate compliance with civil rights obligations and nondiscrimination laws, including Titles VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and accompanying regulations.

Recipients of Federal transportation funding will also be required to comply fully with regulations and guidance for the ADA, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and all other civil rights requirements. Additionally, to the extent practicable, Implementation Grants must adhere to the proposed Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines.34 The Department’s and the applicable Operating Administrations’ Offices of Civil Rights may will work with awarded grant recipients as appropriate to ensure full compliance with Federal civil rights requirements.

In connection with any program or activity conducted with or benefiting from funds awarded under this notice, recipients of funds must comply with all applicable requirements of Federal law, including, without limitation, the Constitution of the United States; the conditions of performance, nondiscrimination requirements, and other assurances made applicable to the award of funds in accordance with regulations of the Department of Transportation; and applicable Federal financial assistance and contracting principles promulgated by the Office of Management and Budget. In complying with these requirements, recipients, in particular, must ensure that no concession agreements are denied or other contracting decisions made on the basis of speech or other activities protected by the First Amendment. If the Department determines that a recipient has failed to comply with applicable Federal requirements, the Department may terminate the award of funds and disallow previously incurred costs, requiring the recipient to reimburse any expended award funds. 32 Please note that some title 23 requirements apply regardless of funding source. In particular, projects involving routes on the National Highway System must meet the applicable design standards at 23 CFR part 625. 33 Pub. L. No. 117-58, division. G, Title IX, Subtitle A, 135 Stat. 429, 1298 (2021). For additional information on § 70914, see OMB-22-11. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/M-22-11.pdf 34 https://www.access-board.gov/prowag/ Packet Pg. 136 Attachment: Grant Guidelines (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) 45 3. Reporting
i. Progress Reporting on Grant Activity
Reporting responsibilities include quarterly program performance reports using the Performance Progress Report (SF-PPR) and quarterly financial status using the SF-425 (also known as the Federal Financial Report or SF-FFR). 35
ii. Post Award Reporting Requirements/Reporting of Matters Related to Integrity and Performance
If the total value of a selected applicant’s currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from all Federal awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000 for any period of time during the period of performance of this Federal award, then the applicant during that period of time must maintain the currency of information reported in SAM that is made available in the designated integrity and performance system (currently the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)) about civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings described in paragraph 2 of this award term and condition. This is a statutory requirement under section 872 of Pub. L. No.110–417, as amended (41 U.S.C. § 2313). As required by section 3010 of Pub. L. No. 111–212, all information posted in the designated integrity and performance system on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews required for Federal procurement contracts, will be publicly available. Additionally, if applicable funding recipients must be in compliance with the audit requirements in 2 CFR § 200, Subpart F. iii. Program Evaluation
As a condition of grant award, SS4A grant recipients may be required to participate in an evaluation undertaken by DOT, or another agency or partner. The evaluation may take different forms such as an implementation assessment across grant recipients, an impact and/or outcomes analysis of all or selected sites within or across grant recipients, or a benefit/cost analysis or assessment of return on investment.

The Department may require applicants to collect data elements to aid the evaluation. As a part of the evaluation, as a condition of award, grant recipients must agree to: (1) make records available to the evaluation contractor; (2) provide access to program records, and any other relevant documents to calculate costs and benefits; (3) in the case of an impact analysis, facilitate the access to relevant information as requested; and (4) follow evaluation procedures as specified by the evaluation contractor or DOT staff.

Recipients and sub-recipients are also encouraged to incorporate program evaluation including associated data collection activities from the outset of their program design and implementation to meaningfully document and measure the effectiveness of their projects and strategies. Title I of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (Evidence Act), Pub. L. No. 115–435 (2019) urges Federal awarding agencies and Federal assistance recipients and sub-recipients to use program evaluation as a critical tool to learn, to improve equitable delivery, and to elevate program service and delivery across the program lifecycle. Evaluation means “an assessment using systematic data collection and analysis of one or more programs, policies, and organizations intended to assess their effectiveness and efficiency” (codified at 5 U.S.C. § 311). For grant recipients, evaluation expenses are allowable costs (either as direct or indirect), unless prohibited by statute or regulation, and such expenses may include the personnel and equipment needed for data infrastructure and expertise in data analysis, performance, and evaluation (2 CFR §200).

Every three days, someone is killed or seriously injured on Sacramento’s streets. On January 19, 2017, the City Council issued a call to action by adopting a resolution with the following goal:

The City of Sacramento will work collaboratively
in a data-driven effort to eliminate traffic
fatalities and serious injuries by 2027.

To help reach this goal, the City developed this Action Plan. The Plan uses historic crash data to pinpoint the factors contributing to traffic deaths and serious injuries, and it identifies proven safety countermeasures to address those factors through education, engineering, enforcement, and evaluation.

Vision Zero is an international traffic safety philosophy that rejects the notion that traffic crashes are simply “accidents,” but instead preventable incidents that can and must be systematically addressed. Through Vision Zero, the City of Sacramento and its partners are committed to working together, supported by a comprehensive data-driven process, to create safer streets and bring the number of people killed or seriously injured down to zero.

Through Vision Zero, Sacramento approaches transportation safety differently – not only addressing spot improvements but taking a systematic and comprehensive approach to our transportation environment.

Tackling such a complex challenge requires reaching across multiple disciplines, working together to evaluate data differently, and investing financial and staff resources in transportation safety.

Packet Pg. 142 Attachment: City of Sacramento Vision Zero Plan (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) Members of the Community:

I am pleased to present the City of Sacramento’s Vision Zero plan to eliminate all traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2027. No fatality or serious injury is acceptable on our streets. Crashes are too often preventable incidents that can be addressed through engineering, enforcement, and education.

Making our transportation network safer for people to walk, bike, drive, or use their mobility devices to get where they need to go is at the core of what we do as stewards of City resources. Our City fabric is made stronger by increasing the connectivity of its residents.

The effort to achieve this goal will be comprehensive, collaborative, and equitable. The commitment we make with this plan -- and the projects we will undertake to implement it – will help to strengthen and revitalize our communities, and is part of the City’s overall effort to enhance opportunities for residents to live prosperous lives in healthy, sustainable, and safe communities.

This effort is not only data-driven, but also data-driving. Its recommendations are based on applying the best transportation planning principles available today to traffic safety data, and it will also help shape how our City gathers that data to make planning even smarter moving forward.

Achieving Vision Zero is critically important. I am grateful to the City Council for its leadership, and to staff for developing this comprehensive plan to make our communities safer and ultimately more vibrant.

Sincerely,
Darrell Steinberg

SACRAMENTO VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN
2 A CALL TO ACTION

TO MAKE OUR STREETS SAFER
Between 2009 and 2015, 151 people
lost their lives on Sacramento’s streets.

Nearly half of those people were
killed while biking or walking. The list
of victims includes residents from all
corners of our City, and cuts across
all boundaries – geographically and
demographically. These deaths result in
tragic personal loss for family and friends
and significantly impact the Sacramento
community.

Fortunately, between 2009 and 2015,
we saw the annual number of crashes in
Sacramento decrease by 20%. But this
does not mean our safety work is done.

Over the same period of time, crashes
where someone was killed or seriously
injured increased by 6%. The increase
was even more pronounced (63%) for
people killed or seriously injured while
walking or riding a bicycle. It is time
for the City to take action to protect
everyone traveling on our streets,
including the most vulnerable users
of our roads.

People walking in Sacramento are
disproportionately impacted by
unsafe conditions on our streets.

Thirteen percent of all trips in
Sacramento are made on foot, but
40% of all fatal crashes in the City
involve a pedestrian.1
Traffic crash
victims who walk are 10 times more
likely to be killed or seriously injured
in Sacramento than crash victims
who drive.

Why Focus on Fatalities
and Serious Injuries?
The City of Sacramento 2035 General
Plan states that the City is “committed
to sustaining the health and safety of
its residents, labor force, and visitors
and recognizes their importance
in achieving the City’s vision as the
most livable city in the nation.” With
this pledge, the City recognizes its
commitment to promote a healthy
and safe environment, including
through responsible stewardship of the
transportation network. Accounting
for fatal and serious injury crashes in
Vision Zero analysis work acknowledges
the out sized impact of these crashes
and focuses the City’s efforts on
improvements with the greatest benefit
to help the City fulfill its commitments
on health and safety.

Serious injuries (also called severe
injuries by the California Highway Patrol)
resulting from a traffic crash can result
in a number of catastrophic impacts,
including permanent disability, lost
productivity and wages, and ongoing
healthcare costs. These injuries can
include:
2 » Broken or fractured bones » Dislocated or distorted limbs » Severe lacerations » Severe burns » Skull, spinal, chest or abdominal injuries
» Unconsciousness at or when
taken from the collision scene
Throughout the Plan, the acronym KSI is
used to denote crashes where someone
was killed or seriously injured.

ABOUT VISION ZERO
What is Vision Zero?
Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and serious injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. Vision Zero is a significant departure from the status quo in two major ways:
1 Vision Zero acknowledges that traffic deaths and serious injuries are preventable, and it sets a goal of eliminating them in an established time frame with
clear, measurable strategies. Through widespread
campaigns like reducing drunk driving and increasing
recycling, history has shown that changing cultural
attitudes and ensuring political accountability lead
to increased success. It’s time to take this level of
intention and focus to the critical issue of traffic deaths. 2 Vision Zero is a multidisciplinary approach that brings together a diverse set of stakeholders to address the complex problem of traffic safety.

It acknowledges that there are many factors that
contribute to safe mobility – including roadway
design, speed, enforcement, behavior change,
technology, and policies – and sets clear strategies
to achieve the shared goal of zero fatalities and
serious injuries.

Vision Zero began in Sweden
in 1997, when the country’s Parliament
adopted a national transportation
policy that “the long-term goal of traffic
safety is that nobody shall be killed or
seriously injured as a consequence of
traffic accidents.” Since 2014, Vision Zero
has been building momentum in the
United States. Starting with New York,
Vision Zero policies have spread across
American cities, adopted in places
like Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco
and Los Angeles. As of March 2017, 27
U.S. cities have committed to Vision
Zero, according to the national Vision
Zero Network. Sacramento is joining a
global movement with a strong national
network to help cities share best practices
to improve roadway safety.

Early results are promising. In New York
City, 2016 had the fewest traffic fatalities
on record. Traffic deaths are down 30%
since 2013, just before the City launched
Vision Zero. The first three years of Vision
Zero is the safest three-year period in
New York City’s history. Closer to home,
Fremont, California has seen a 25%
reduction in major traffic crashes in the
first two years since adopting Vision Zero.

Why Vision Zero?
Sacramento has taken an ambitious step
in adopting its Vision Zero goal, signaling
that it is willing to do the hard work
necessary to eliminate traffic deaths
and serious injuries. Only by moving
beyond traditional transportation safety
practices with bold interventions can the
City solve one of its largest preventable
public health crises. Sacramento’s rate of
fatal and serious injury crashes continues
to rise, and the 2008 Sacramento County
Health Status Profile Report cites vehicle
crashes as the leading cause of death for
children aged 1 to 18.
6 The City of Sacramento is constantly
working to increase the availability
of safe and comfortable multi-modal
transportation choices for all residents,
helping meet its goals to reduce carbon
emissions, improve public health
through increased physical activity, and
improve quality of life for everyone. The
adoption of Vision Zero makes this a
primary focus for the City, prioritizing
safe travel for all modes over delivering
efficient vehicle throughput.

SACRAMENTO VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN
8 Speed Kills
A major component of Vision Zero is the
recognition that speed kills. Research
compiled by the U.S. Department
of Transportation National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration shows
that the likelihood of fatality is 5% for a
pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling
at 20 miles per hour, but the likelihood
increases to 40% at 30 miles per hour
and to 100% at 50 miles per hour.7 By
just designing our streets differently, we
can lower the speeds at which vehicles
travel to help reduce the severity
of injuries. Street design changes,
combined with public education and
targeted enforcement efforts, have the
potential to greatly reduce the number
people seriously injured or killed on
Sacramento’s streets.

Unsafe speed is the leading cause of crashes. 2/3 of fatal crashes occur on streets with a posted speed of 40+ mph, which account for just 10% of the City’s street network

10 VISION STATEMENT &

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The Vision Zero Task Force met in late 2016 to develop a vision statement and guiding principles to frame the development and implementation of the Vision Zero Action Plan. These principles form the foundation on which the City will conduct its Vision Zero work.

Guiding Principles
1 Safety of human life is our highest
priority.
2 Traffic deaths and serious injuries
are preventable, a public health
issue, unacceptable, and must
be addressed.
3 Actions towards Vision Zero will be
a comprehensive, collaborative,
and equitable approach through
engineering, education and culture
change, and traffic enforcement.
4 Actions towards Vision Zero will
be data-driven based on available
crash data.
5 Evaluation will be ongoing,
measuring performance against the
Vision Zero Action Plan objectives.

Vision Zero Sacramento is a collaborative and data-driven effort to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2027 Vision Statement
Traffic safety impacts our community,
neighborhoods, health, and
Sacramento’s livability. No level of
fatality or serious injury is acceptable
on our streets because crashes are
preventable incidents that can be
addressed through engineering,
education, and enforcement.

Packet Pg. 153 Attachment: City of Sacramento Vision Zero Plan (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program)

SACRAMENTO VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN
11 Equity
All Sacramentans deserve safe streets.

Traffic deaths and severe injuries
disproportionally burden Sacramento’s
Disadvantaged Communities.

Disadvantaged Communities are
defined by the State of California as
the neighborhoods in Sacramento that
are most burdened by pollution and
other negative environmental factors,
public health concerns, and a lack of
equitable economic opportunity.8
These
communities have experienced historic
underinvestment in safe roadway
projects throughout the state and now
receive preference for various types
of State and Regional transportation
grants.

Forty-four percent of fatal crashes and
half of pedestrian KSI crashes occur in
the City’s Disadvantaged Communities,
which account for only 25% of the
roadway network.

The Vision Zero Task Force and City staff
recognize the importance of creating
equitable safety solutions through
the implementation of Vision Zero.

The data-driven Vision Zero process
compels the City to align roadway safety
improvements with the areas hardest
hit by traffic violence – often the most
under served areas of Sacramento. In
redefining its enforcement activities,
the City will also work to ensure that
the disproportionate burden on
communities of color in traffic policing
does not persist.

SACRAMENTO VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN
12 Vision Zero Aligns with
Sacramento’s Plans and
Policies
The goals of Vision Zero align well with
recently adopted plans and policies
that guide the development of the
transportation network in Sacramento.

Plans such as the Bicycle Master Plan
and Grid 3.0 emphasize improving safety
and closing key gaps in the bicycle and
pedestrian networks.

The Mobility Element of Sacramento’s
2035 General Plan, which was adopted
in March of 2015, overlaps with the
goals and strategies of Vision Zero. The
General Plan seeks to improve multimodal choices and multi-modal access within the City by removing barriers
for accessibility and creating complete
streets that are safe and comfortable
for travel by all modes. The General Plan
also emphasizes the importance of safe
connections to transit, a bicycle network
that is accessible for all residents, and
safe pedestrian crossings and sidewalks
throughout the City.

SACRAMENTO VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN
16 CRASH TRENDS
Study Methodology
Vision Zero is a data-driven process.

In developing the Action Plan, the
City analyzed all crashes that occurred
on City streets resulting in fatality or
any level of injury for the years 2009
through 2015.9 Prior Vision Zero work
has shown that roadway characteristics,
such as number of lanes, posted speed
limit, and intersection control types, are
very important in helping to identify
historic collision trends and help cities
be proactive in identifying high-risk
locations. Vision Zero work has also
highlighted the disproportionate
burden traffic crashes have on
vulnerable populations, such as
seniors and Disadvantaged
Communities. The City of Sacramento
incorporated roadway characteristic
and demographic datasets into its
collision analysis to understand how
these patterns play out locally.

High Injury Network
The City developed a High Injury
Network (HIN), which identifies the
corridors with the highest levels of
fatal and serious crashes for pedestrians,
bicyclists, and motorists. There are 1,610
total roadway miles in Sacramento,
but KSI crashes do not occur on the
majority of those roads. By developing
the HIN, the City is able to focus safety
improvements on priority corridors
where the most serious crashes happen
with the most frequency.

Sacramento’s High Injury Network
accounts for 79% of all crashes and 77%
of KSI crashes, which occur on just 14%
(225 miles) of Sacramento’s roadway
network. Eighty-three of the City’s
elementary, middle, and high schools
fall along the HIN. Thirty-five percent
of the HIN falls within Disadvantaged
Communities.

Top 10 profiles
The City developed crash profiles
to highlight 10 of the top trends among
KSI crashes. The crash profiles are
based on an analysis of crash data and
related environmental factors. Every
profile highlights a crash pattern the
City has identified as a priority concern.

The profiles are paired with safety
countermeasures most relevant for the
crash and location context. Together,
these engineering, education, and
enforcement countermeasures make up
a toolbox of safety interventions the City
will utilize to implement projects tailored
to unique safety issues.

The following pages are set up with
the 10 profiles and countermeasures. We
have ranked the countermeasures by
Efficacy, Cost, Complexity and given
each of those ratings a score:

UNSAFE SPEED ON NON-LOCAL STREETS

COUNTERMEASURES

STREET NARROWING
Several countermeasures fall within the Intersection Narrowing toolkit, including curb extensions (bulbouts), lane narrowing and visual narrowing. Curb extensions are raised devices, usually constructed from concrete and/or landscaping, that reduce the corner radius or narrow the roadway in order to reduce speeds of turning vehicles, improve sight lines, and shorten crossing distances. In addition to physically narrowing intersection or lane widths, visual narrowing techniques can help to slow speeds and increase driver attentiveness. Visual narrowing techniques include adding street trees, vertical lighting elements, street furniture, special paving treatments, or roadway markings.

The primary collision factor in a crash
is the factor which “best describes
the primary or main cause of the
collision,” according to the reporting
officer.10 When the primary collision
factor is cited as “unsafe speed,” it
means that someone involved in the
crash was driving “at a speed greater
than is reasonable or prudent” for
the conditions.11 By slowing vehicles
down, we can increase the time
drivers have to react to potentially
dangerous situations and we can
reduce the severity of injuries by
lessening the impact of a crash. The
following countermeasures outline
potential options for redesigning our
roads to discourage unsafe speeds
and enforce the speed limits that are
in place.

Automated speed detection devices can identify speeding violations and provide citations. California is currently considering legislation to allow this type of enforcement and the City of Sacramento plans to support this effort.

The majority of serious collisions in
Sacramento occur on streets with
posted speeds of 35 mph or higher.

Given that these streets account for
only a small portion of the City’s
roadway network, we know that these
streets have an outsized impact of
the safety of Sacramento residents.

By implementing countermeasures
that slow vehicles down, we can
increase the time drivers have to react
to potentially dangerous situations,
reduce the severity of injuries, and
increase visibility of more vulnerable
road users.

securing funding for future projects,
including winning a $250,000 grant
from Caltrans’ Systemic Safety Analysis
Report Program and an Office of Traffic
Safety Grant for Vision Zero Outreach
and Education in 2017. In addition, the
City has secured federal engineering
and construction funds for the following
capital projects currently in project
development, many of which are on
city arterial roadways:
» A Class IV separated bikeway on
North 12th Street - $3,378,000 (on the
HIN)
» The Broadway Complete Streets
project that includes a road diet,
buffered bike lanes, and curb
extensions along a major arterial
roadway - $2,763,000 (on the HIN)
» The Meadowview Complete Streets
which includes buffered bike lanes,
separated sidewalks and high visibility
crosswalks, in addition to median and
streetscape improvements on a high
speed arterial roadway identified on
the high injury network $4,536,000
» D.W Babcock and Northwood School
improvements which include signals,
connecting sidewalk gaps, and curb
extensions on El Camino Avenue
which has been identified on the
high injury network: $995,700
» The Franklin Boulevard Complete
Streets which is evaluating the road
diet of a major arterial roadway on
the high injury network to provide
bike lanes, street enhancements,
and separated sidewalks $800,000
» Class IV separated bikeways along
Franklin Boulevard $315,000 (on the
HIN)
» Downtown Parking Protected
Bikeways $491,000, locally-funded
(on the HIN)
The Vision Zero Action Plan will
build on these successes to guide
proactive implementation of future
safety projects focused on eliminating
fatalities and serious injuries for all
roadway users by 2027.

Acknowledgment of Preventable Incidents: Crash, Not Accident The City of Sacramento commits to using the word “crash,” not “accident,” to acknowledge that these incidents can be systematically addressed.

In adopting this language, the City joins a long list of local, state and federal agencies with similar policies. In a 2014 letter to Federal Highway Administration staff, George L. Reagle, Associate Administrator for Motor Carriers at the U.S. Department of Transportation wrote:14
Changing the way we think about events and the words we use to describe them affects the way we behave. Motor vehicle crashes occur “when a link or several links in the chain” are broken. Continued use of the word “accident” implies that these events are outside human influence or control. In reality, they are predictable results of specific actions…
The Federal Highway Administration has joined the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in declaring that the word “accident” will no longer be used in materials we publish, in speeches or other statements, or in communications with the media and others.

SACRAMENTO VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN
44 Implementable Actions
Vision Zero implementation will involve
a committed team of City departments,
the Sacramento community, and
partner organizations. This team has
identified a set of key actions to serve
as a roadmap towards Vision Zero.

Every action is assigned a time frame, a
metric to measure progress, and a core
leadership group. Short-term actions will
be implemented within 0-2 years and
long-term actions will be implemented
within 2-10 years. The implementable
actions directly address the Plan’s 10
Crash Profiles.

The Implementable Actions are
organized into five action areas:

1.Vision Zero Program

2. Street Design

3. Dangerous Behaviors

4.Access to Key Destinations

5.Vulnerable Road Users
Performance Measures
The City’s primary performance measure
to evaluate progress is the change in
the number of KSI crashes, with the
ultimate goal to reach zero KSI crashes
by 2027. The City will also measure its
progress based on the change in the
number of crashes under each of the
10 Crash Profiles. In its annual Vision
Zero progress report, the City will
also measure progress on each of the
Implementable Actions identified in
the Action Plan.

Next Steps
One significant next step that the City is
already working towards is identifying
the first engineering projects to
implement on Sacramento’s streets.

These projects will be located along
the HIN, and will incorporate the
countermeasures identified in this Plan
to combat the crash types identified in
the Crash Profiles. The specific locations,
project scopes, and cost estimates
must be developed for candidate
projects, and then the projects will be
prioritized for implementation. The City
of Sacramento has secured $250,000
grant funding from Caltrans’ Systemic
safety Analysis Report Program to do
this work.

Vision Zero is a world-wide strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries to ensure safe, healthy, equitable mobility
for all. It was first implemented in Sweden
in the 1990s and takes a systems approach to
achieve safe, healthy, and equitable mobility. Vision Zero starts with the ethical belief that everyone has the right to move safely in
their communities. In order to achieve a safe
transportation system, it requires that everyone consider the system in its entirety. Safe transportation systems and related policies
should be designed to ensure that those inevitable mistakes do not result in severe injuries or fatalities.

In January 2018, the Watsonville City
Council adopted a resolution that outlines
how the City can draw upon existing resources to successfully implement Vision Zero. In 2015 and 2016, the City had 39 and 42 pedestrian collisions and a California Office of Traffic Safety rating of #1 when compared with 105 California cities of similar size. In 2017
and 2018 there were 24 and 30 collisions and
#15 and #5 rankings..

There are two factors that are 3 times
more likely to cause crashes in Watsonville
than any other factor: unsafe speeds (which
accounts for 26.4% of all crashes) and right of
The City of Watsonville ranks number one for injuries
and fatalities among pedestrians under the age of 15
years old and the 4th worst for pedestrians overall
when compared to 105 California cities of similar size. “
4 Packet Pg. 200 Attachment: City of Watsonville Vision Zero Plan (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program) way violations (29.5% of all crashes).
2 Thirty
percent of fatal and serious injury crashes
occur on 2 miles (2.2%) of city streets.2 Moreover, these city streets are in low-income neighborhoods.2 An additional 25% of fatal
and serious injury crashes occur on 1.9 miles
of the State highways within city limits.2
Vision Zero holds that traffic deaths and
severe injuries are preventable through a
close examination of the shortcomings of
existing transportation systems and user behavior. Through the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team and changes in roadway design, speed management, technology, and
policies, meaningful behavior change can
occur. However, as all humans are fallible,
collisions will happen. To achieve the shared
goal of zero fatalities and severe injuries, the
responsibility of ensuring a safer transportation system therefore lies upon the multidisciplinary team and not only on the individual road user.

The City of Watsonville’s Vision Zero Action Plan” acknowledges that traffic deaths and severe injuries are preventable. The goal
is to eliminate both in a set time frame with
clear, measurable, and timely strategies. The
plan will use a multidisciplinary approach
and bring together diverse and necessary
stakeholders to address this complex problem and achieve Vision Zero by 2030. 1 https://visionzeronetwork.org/about/what-is-vision-zero/ 2 Report by the Community Traffic Safety Coalition and with funding from CA OTS (2014) and the Santa Cruz County RTC. www.sctrafficsafety.org/VisionZero Updated 1/10/18.

deaths and severe injuries
are preventable through a

CITY OF WATSONVILLE

VISION ZERO

CORE PRINCIPLES

1. Traffic deaths and severe injuries are acknowledged to be preventable.

2. Safety of human life is our highest priority, and all are responsible.

3. The transportation system should account for human error and plan to minimize the severity of repercussions.

4. Actions towards Vision Zero will be data-driven based on available crash data and will include on-going evaluation measuring performance objectives.

5. Speed is a fundamental predictor of crash survival and severity 8 Packet Pg. 204 Attachment: City of Watsonville Vision Zero Plan (4.1(b)--Grant Application - US Dept of Transportation Safe Streets & Roads For All Program)

1. Created the Watsonville Vision Zero Task Force and created a logo that highlights various modes of transportation and iconic Watsonville landmarks.

2. Provided public safety education through a media campaign in partnership with several other Santa Cruz County agencies.

3. Promoted walking, biking and traffic safety through in-classroom training, providing safety equipment, operation of the City Police Department social media site with new apps and regular social media posts.

4. Supported ongoing work with State legislators to lower speed limits.

5. Continued implementation of Pedestrian Safety Zones on high collision corridors.

6. Operated the Neighborhood Traffic Plan and traffic calming programs with installations along Clifford Street.

7. Installation of various Capital Improvement Projects including new traffic signals on West Beach St at Ohlone Parkway and on Airport Blvd at Holm Rd (in progress) and construction of the Rail Trail Segment 18 Phase 1 (in progress).

8. Continued developing partnerships with Caltrans on preparing plans and constructing improvements within the State right of way and identifying and securing funding. This included requesting additional funding on a 2024 State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) project to pave Hwy 152 and include bicycle and pedestrian improvements on Hwy 129 and 152.

9. Worked with various partners to submit or participate in Active Transportation Program Cycle 5 grant applications for the Safer Access to Pajaro Valley High School and Beyond project and the Safe Routes for Watsonville School Families and Community project. 2020 SUMMARY

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to Benton Field Runway and Taxiway Connector Pavement Preservation and Magnetic Variations Updates Project (Project):
(1) Adopt Resolution approving the submission of a California Department of Transportation grant application in the amount of $22,050 to be utilized as state match funding for the Project; and
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the grant application, submit all subsequent documentation necessary to obtain grant funds for the project, and appropriate all grant funds received to the Airport Enterprise Fund.

Fiscal Impact
On August 16, 2022, City Council (Council) awarded Bid Schedule No. 5276 for construction of the Project. The Project will be funded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant in the amount of $490,000 which is proposed to be comprised of a federal share of $441,000 (90 percent), a state share of $22,050 (4.5 percent), and a local share of $26,950 (5.5 percent) to be funded through budgeted City of Redding (City) Airport funds. As proposed, the state share would be funded by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and serve as a matching grant for the Project funding.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose to not approve the submittal of an application to Caltrans. Such actions may jeopardize future FAA funding in the following fiscal years and delay the project by at least a full year until another funding source can be identified. Future funding could require the standard 10 percent match.

Report to Redding City Council August 31, 2022
Re: 4.2(a)--Resolution for Grant Application for Benton Field Runway Preservation/MAGVARPage 2 Background/Analysis
This project was budgeted and awarded at the August 16, 2022, Council meeting. As part of that approval, staff inadvertently missed requesting the adoption of a resolution to apply for the Caltrans matching grant which could provide additional grant monies to cover the total cost of the Project.

The project includes the rehabilitation of the runway and taxiway connectors which will include removal of existing markings, surface preparation and cleaning, crack sealing and surface treatment. In addition, runway designation numerals and associated airfield signage will be updated.

This resolution has been approved to form by the City Attorney.

Environmental Review
On August 16, 2022, Council determined that the Benton Field Runway and Taxiway Connector Pavement Preservation and Magnetic Variations Updates Project is Categorically Exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, per Section 15301. December 11, 2018, the FAA determined that the Project is Categorically Excluded pursuant to FAA Order 1050.1F as it relates to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended.

The application for additional grant funding is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required by the City. Should additional grant funds be awarded by the FAA or Caltrans, each agency will conduct a NEPA review or revalidate its original findings.

Project Development Costs $71,691
Construction Contract + Contingency $416,120
Contract Administration, Inspection, Testing $81,540
Total Project Costs $569,351
Project cost components are estimates, and some shifting of the project development, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget. There is $610,000 budgeted for the total project.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award the bid for the Project, and provide staff with alternate direction. Without this Project, the pavement life will not be prolonged and future condition ratings could become unsatisfactory.

Background/Analysis
Attached is a tabulation of bids received and opened on March 22, 2022, for the Project. The low bid in the amount of $378,120 was received from VSS International, Inc., of West Sacramento, California. The engineer's estimate was $346,104. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $71,691that include engineering, surveying, right-of-way, environmental, consultant services, and permit fees. Staff intends to utilize Mead & Hunt, Inc. for construction management services with a fee of $68,540. In addition, $13,000 will be needed for City staff to complete construction administration associated with the project.

The Project includes the rehabilitation of the runway and taxiway connectors which will include removal of existing markings, surface preparation and cleaning, crack sealing and surface treatment. In addition, runway designation numerals and associated airfield signage will be updated.

Staff has determined that the Project qualifies as Categorically Exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, per Sections 15301. Class 1 exemptions include the operation, maintenance, repair, and minor alteration of existing public facilities. This maintenance project will be performed to extend and preserve the life of the existing pavement. The Project does not involve expansion of use, as the facility will have the same capacity. The Project has been reviewed for sensitive resources such as threatened or endangered species or their habitats, sensitive vegetation communities, tribal lands, or tribal cultural resources. The Project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

On December 11, 2018, the FAA made a determination that the Project is Categorically Excluded pursuant to FAA Order 1050.1F as it relates to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Authorize submission of a grant application to the United States Economic Development Administration’s Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance Program in the amount of $9,193,862 to support Block 7 Project infrastructure improvements to the California-Market Alley, Butte Street, and Yuba Street; and (2) Based on the facts in the record, make the findings that the subject action is categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15302. The project area does not have significant values for wildlife habitat or other environmental resources, and the project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and the project will not result in a significant impact on the quality of the human environment under the National Environmental Policy Act, Environmental Assessment (24 CFR Part 58.36), Finding of No Significant Impact [24 CFR 58.40(g)(1); 40 CFR 1508.27]
Fiscal Impact
Authorizing a grant application to the United States Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance (PWEAA) Program may result in a grant award of up to $9,193,862 with 50 percent required local matching funds. Median household income, poverty indicators, indicators of economic distress, and disadvantaged community statuses may reduce the required local match to a 20 percent minimum. The combined project funding to date, including the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) grant, other local funding sources already committed to this project, and in-kind contributions, already meet the threshold of the required 50 percent local match; therefore, no additional funds will need to be committed in order to satisfy matching funds requirements.

Report to Redding City Council August 31, 2022
Re: 4.2(b)--Authorize Grant Application Page 2
Alternative Action
The City Council may choose not to authorize a grant application to the EDA PWEAA Program.

This action would direct staff to identify alternative funding sources to assist with the remaining Block 7 Project infrastructure work associated with the California Market Alley, Butte Street, and Yuba Street.

Background/Analysis
The EDA is an agency of the United States Department of Commerce which administers programs that are intended to boost economic development as measured by job creation and retention. Economic Adjustment Assistance is a flagship program of the EDA and offers funding to projects that align with regional economic plans and are expected to create or retain highquality, well-paying jobs. The PWEAA Program also recognizes the role that infrastructure and public works facilities can play in economic development at the regional and local levels. Public works projects that serve to provide economic access are eligible for investment from the EDA; these infrastructure projects create jobs by improving workforce access or commercial development in a given area, and each is scored by its alignment with regional economic planning efforts.

The Block 7 Project in Downtown Redding is a public-private partnership to uplift a previously economically underutilized area by replacing what was originally a parking lot stretching nearly three city blocks with a multi-level parking garage (already completed), complete streets (in construction), commercial spaces (in construction), and income-qualified and market-rate housing (in construction). The completed streets and increased mobility through this downtown space are of particular interest as the City of Redding (City) works to create a more walkable and livable downtown area that is conducive to greater economic growth along the corridor of the California-Market Alleyway. This development also builds off of the successful redevelopment of Market Street through the Market Center project and the Downtown Streets Circulation Project, both of which have received recognition at the State and industry level.

The focus of the EDA PWEAA Program grant application will be the build-out of infrastructure related to the complete streets portion of the project and the class four cycle track along California Street. These infrastructure enhancements, together, will boost economic access to the new developments of the Block 7 project and enable the job creation and retention that is expected to occur in this area. Of the requested $9,193,682 almost half will be dedicated to the completion of the class four cycle track on California Street which will enhance mobility and connectivity of this area with other areas of the City served by dedicated cycle tracks, trails, and dedicated bicycle lanes while the remaining funds will be dedicated to completing the buildout of the complete streets infrastructure along Butte and Yuba Streets and the California-Market Alley.

While construction of the complete streets is already underway, the additional funding would enable a full build-out of the proposed infrastructure and adherence to the vision of reimagining this space as a model for future growth in downtown Redding.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the anticipated scope of work associated with the potential grant qualifies as Categorically Exempt under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15302. Class II exemptions include the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. The Packet Pg. 238
Report to Redding City Council August 31, 2022
Re: 4.2(b)--Authorize Grant Application Page 3
Project has been reviewed for sensitive resources such as threatened or endangered species or their habitats, sensitive vegetation communities, tribal lands, or tribal cultural resources.

The project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

The City of Redding finds that the project will have no significant effect on the quality of the human environment. In several areas, implementation of City and other agency required measures during construction, along with other conditions required for City approval of the project, will not only result in the project having no significant impact on the quality of the human environment but will have a beneficial impact in several areas such as improving the visual aesthetics of the area. Staff has made the determination of no significant impact as it relates to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management – “Achieve balanced and stable 10-year Financial Plans for all funds.”
• Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”
• Economic Development – “Facilitate and become a catalyst for economic development in Redding to create jobs, retain current businesses and attract new ones, and encourage investment in the community.”

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager or designee, to approve the procurement of a new access control system for Redding Electric Utility locations deemed as medium impact locations, based on standards as set forth by North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), in a not to exceed amount of $60,000.

Fiscal Impact
Redding Electric Utility (REU) will procure a new access control system for the secured areas that meets the medium impact standards set forth by NERC. Selection of the replacement system will be based on its ability to meet NERC requirements, availability, and City of Redding Purchasing Department approval. The cost of the new system is anticipated not to exceed $60,000. Staff will repurpose the existing system at other City facilities to help offset costs.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose to not authorize the system change at the secured facilities and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
On February 7, 2020, NERC directed REU to register as a Transmission Owner and Transmission Operator (TO/TOP). Since that time, REU has worked closely with the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) in order to implement and comply with 147 new standards before the final deadline of November 2022.

Director
Packet Pg. 240
Report to Redding City Council August 30, 2022
Re: 4.3(a)--TO/TOP Medium Impact Access Control System Page 2 Due to the number of new standards and strict timeline, REU requested approval for the Council to grant the City Manager, or designee, the authority to sole-source the procurement of software, hardware, and service agreements relating to REU’s operations as a TO/TOP registration based on recommendations by the expert consultants assisting with the implementation. This request was approved at the March 16, 2021, Council meeting.

One of the new standards requires a physical access control system to be implemented at any REU medium impact facility. In early October 2021, the City of Redding (City) issued a Purchase Order for an access control system (Avigilon Access Control Manager (ACM)) using the aforementioned sole-source authorization, understanding of the standard requirements at that time, and vendor information stating they were compliant with NERC standards. The installation of the access control system was completed in February 2022.

Since that time, it has been discovered that there are two requirements specific to NERC medium standards, that Avigilon ACM cannot, and will not, accommodate. As such, a new system is required in order to fully comply with the NERC medium standard prior to November 2022.

Failure to do so could result in a fine of $1.6 million dollars per day, per offense.

Since the Council approved the City to sole-source the Avigilon ACM as a City-wide solution for current and future physical access control needs on December 21, 2022, the City will be able to repurpose the equipment from the secure facilities to other City locations/facilities. Avigilon ACM is compliant with DOJ, NERC low standards, and can meet the needs of the majority of the City. The Information Technology Department will work to standardize on the Avigilon ACM with the exception of facilities where the system is deemed non-compliant based on supplemental governing regulations or standards.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions related to repairs at the Redding Power Plant:
(1) Approve the sole-source purchase of three replacement Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems from Custom Instrumentation Services Corporation in an amount not to exceed $532,000 for generating Units 1, 2, and 3 at the Redding Power Plant; (2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute agreements and approve expenditures up to $40,000 for unforeseen issues that may arise; and (3) Find that the project is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction).

Fiscal Impact
Per Custom Instrumentation Services Corporation (CISCO) Proposal 37477, the total cost of equipment, installation, and commissioning services is approximately $532,000. In addition, $40,000 is needed for unforeseen issues and contingency. The total estimated project cost is $572,000. Adequate funds are available within Redding Electric Utility’s (REU) Major Maintenance Fund for this project. Major maintenance funding is available by eliminating future work that was planned but is now rendered unnecessary because of increased unit operation and cost savings realized from projects completed in Fiscal Year 2021-22.

This project was initially scheduled for Fiscal Year 2024-25; however, over the past 18 months, the need to implement this project has increased due to component degradation. The Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) system is required during turbine operation to monitor the air emissions and meet regulatory air quality requirements.

MEETING DATE: September 6, 2022
ITEM NO. 4.5(b)

SUBJECT: 4.5(b)--Authorize the Sole-Source Procurement of replacement Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems from Custom Instrumentation Services Corporation for Redding Power Plant generating Units 1, 2, and 3.

Report to Redding City Council August 30, 2022
Re: 4.5(b)--Peaking Generator CEMS Replacement Page 2
Alternative Action
The City Council could reject the recommendation and require staff to issue a Request for Bids, which would extend the purchasing timeframe, incur significant implementation costs, and result in additional operational risks for generating Units 1, 2, and 3 if CISCO is not the successful low bidder.

Background/Analysis
A gas turbine continuous emission monitoring system is critical equipment without which the turbine cannot meet air quality permit requirements. A CEMS consists primarily of sample probes, heated sample lines, programmable logic controllers (PLC), a shelter that houses analyzers, and a sample treatment system.

The systems for generating units 1, 2, and 3 have operated beyond the recommended lifespan, and the recent trend indicates that the system reliability is degrading at a greater rate than anticipated. The CEMS shelter foundations and floors are beginning to wear. Vibrations from the turbine during operation cause the shelters to vibrate, which has damaged two emissions analyzers over the past year and has subsequently required repairs. Analyzers cost approximately $12,000, and repairs for each incident are approximately $5,000. Also, leaks have begun to develop in the shelter roofs, which became apparent during winter 2021. Leaking water in one of the shelters damaged the PLC equipment requiring the replacement of portions of the electrical termination rack.

Reliability is also a concern as components continue to age. Specific components, such as the heated sample line, are costly and have longer lead times. Unexpected failure due to the exposure to corrosive exhaust gases would result in extended generating unit downtime. Staff recommends replacing all CEMS system components operating past its useful life simultaneously to decrease the total cost of implementation.

CISCO provided CEMS for combined cycle Units 5 and 6 and the plant-wide Data Acquisition & Handling System (DAHS), the software, and infrastructure supporting emissions data. CISCO installed and continues to service this infrastructure, which gives it an extensive working knowledge of the REU power plant systems and an in-depth understanding of facility requirements. Sole sourcing to CISCO ensures seamless integration of the new CEMS equipment into the existing CISCO infrastructure that is already in place at the Power Plant.

Sole-source of this equipment will provide the best value to the City. Items affecting cost and reliability if another vendor is selected include but are not limited to:
• Sole-source will match equipment already in use at the Power Plant. A non-CISCO system will have non-matching equipment requiring a separate spare parts inventory, thereby increasing the number and cost of spare parts that would need to be kept at the Power Plant warehouse. Uniform spare parts help ensure system reliability. • Integrating data from a new vendor’s equipment into the existing CISCO DAHS and the Siemens T3000 Distributed Control System will still require CISCO’s involvement to review and approve all equipment designs since it must integrate with the DAHS, which controls the equipment operation.

Packet Pg. 243
Report to Redding City Council August 30, 2022
Re: 4.5(b)--Peaking Generator CEMS Replacement Page 3
• Outage time for Generating Units 1, 2, and 3 during installation would be extended.

Complexities involved in integrating a non-CISCO system will require more time for installation and commissioning of new equipment.
• The bid process, design, and long-lead-time for parts predict an extended project timeframe. Changing vendors is estimated to increase the project execution timeline by approximately twelve months.
o This extension is a reliability concern because the equipment is already due for replacement.
o CISCO has equipment readily available and is familiar with plant equipment and operation. CISCO was involved in the Peaker sample probe redesign in 2014 and has since been engaged in periodic troubleshooting and equipment repair. o A new vendor will be required to develop a plan for implementing its technology at the plant, which will result in additional costs and time for the project. These projected costs are expected to be much higher than the CISCO quote already in hand due to inflationary pressures.
• Staff will require training in the operation and maintenance of new equipment. Uniform equipment will help ensure system reliability and reduce operator errors and compliance violations.

Environmental Review
This project is categorically exempt from CEQA per State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15302 because it is the replacement of existing equipment with like-kind.

PEAKING PLANT CEMS
Packet Pg. 250 Attachment: PowerPoint Peaking Plant CEMS Slides (4.5(b)--Peaking Generator CEMS POINTS OF DISCUSSION  Purpose and critical nature of equipment • Continuous Emissions Monitoring to maintain compliance with air quality permit limitations. • Without a functional CEMS the Units cannot run.  Age / Useful life of equipment • Equipment is 20+ years old. Items such as heated sample line are typically replaced at 15. • Certain features of system are outdated or no longer operational. • Certain components are becoming increasingly difficult to repair/service Packet Pg. 251 Attachment: PowerPoint Peaking Plant CEMS Slides (4.5(b)--Peaking Generator CEMS

POINTS OF DISCUSSION
 Reliability and Cost
• Reliability will decrease as system continues to degrade. • Failure of long lead time components, such as the heated sample line, will result in extended downtime. • Project cost will increase as time passes due to inflation. • Replacing all outdated CEMS components simultaneously will decrease cost of lost operation time and difficulty of replacing components separately.  Sole Source Justification
• Equipment will match what is already in use. Spare parts inventory will match. No additional training. Reduced operator error. • Integration of new equipment into existing DAHS “Data Acquisition Handling System” will be greatly simplified. Aspects of integration will require CiSCO regardless. • A single support agreement can be maintained for equipment and software. • Duration of unavailability during installation will be decreased. • Project timeframe will be reduced by approximately 12 months.

Packet Pg. 252 Attachment: PowerPoint Peaking Plant CEMS Slides (4.5(b)--Peaking Generator CEMS

DEGRADATION
 Increased rate of Degradation
• Degradation of shelter resulted in multiple downtimes over the last year  Analyzers were damaged due to shaking on two separate occasions. Flooring and structural supports have deteriorated. Both incidents forced the unit to come offline. On each occasion the cost to repair the analyzer was $5000.
 Portions of the PLC electrical termination rack were damaged after water leaked through holes in the roof. The unit became unavailable and the equipment was replaced. Packet Pg. 253 Attachment: PowerPoint Peaking Plant CEMS Slides (4.5(b)--Peaking Generator CEMS

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the First Amendment to Caldwell Recreation Center Lease (C-7389) with Turtle Bay Exploration Park (Turtle Bay) to extend the term for an additional three years at Caldwell Recreation Center to store artwork and artifacts, with a term expiring September 26, 2025.

Fiscal Impact
There will be no new fiscal impact to the General Fund should the City Council (Council) approve the amended lease agreement with Turtle Bay.

Alternative Action
The Council could decline to approve the lease amendment with Turtle Bay. This action would create a hardship for Turtle Bay which lacks adequate archival storage for its collection, including historical artifacts and art collections. The Council could provide staff with alternate direction.

Background
The Caldwell Recreation Center, which previously housed the Redding Museum of Art and History, includes a large area designed for archival storage. The room is equipped with a climate control system that provides for constant temperature and humidity. In 2003, Turtle Bay Exploration Park moved to its current location. Since then, the City has leased Turtle Bay approximately 3,900 square feet of the Caldwell Recreation Center to store artwork and artifacts.

Although no rent is paid, Turtle Bay Exploration Park pays all utility, HVAC maintenance, and pest control costs associated with its use.

Lessee expressly waives the benefits of Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize submission of a grant application to the United States Forest Service Community Wildfire Defense Grant – West Program for the amount of $250,000 to augment funding for the City of Redding Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) Project.

Fiscal Impact
The City of Redding (City) would receive up to $250,000 in grant funding from the United States Forest Service (USFS) Community Wildfire Defense Grant (CWDG) program, which requires 10 percent local matching funds or in-kind contributions. The 10 percent matching funds can be covered by the $175,000 already received from the Cal Fire Prevention Grant.

Additionally, the City could include staff salaries for staff time committed to the project as an inkind contribution. Because the City already meets the local matching fund's requirements, no additional funding is necessary to qualify for CWDG program funding.

Alternative Action
The City Council may choose not to authorize this grant application and the City would use existing funding sources to complete the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) or search for alternate opportunities to replace the missed CWDG funding opportunity.

Background/Analysis
In 2019, the City participated in the Community Planning Assistance for Wildfire (CPAW) Program which works with communities to reduce wildfire risks through improved land use planning. The CPAW Final Report recommended that the City continue to improve wildfire planning by creating a CWPP. The CPAW recommendation also pointed out that the CWPP provides an avenue for additional grant and funding opportunities.

Report to Redding City Council August 30, 2022
Re: 4.8(a)--Authorize Grant Application to USFS Community Wildfire Defense Grant - West Program Page 2
Not having an active CWPP has limited the eligibility of the City to apply for grant funding that might have paid for additional fire prevention, fuel reduction, and community education projects.

In Spring 2022 the City was awarded a $520,083 grant from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection in which $175,000 was budgeted to contract a consultant to prepare a CWPP for the City. Analysis of recently conducted CWPPs in the State of California indicate the cost of completing a comprehensive and quality CWPP may exceed that amount.

The FY 2022 CWDG was authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was signed into Federal law in November 2021. The CWDG program specifically provides grant funding for the development and revision of CWPPs and implementation of projects described in a recent CWPP. The CWDG program is a competitive funding source that is expected to be funded with $160 million annually for the next five years.

Once a CWPP is in place, the City would be able to apply for larger awards in future funding cycles to carry out implementation projects specified in a CWPP. Additionally, if the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan is approved, active, and contains specific planning for wildfire prevention, there is a possibility the City could be eligible for implementation funding in the next cycle even if the CWPP is not yet finalized.

Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and ratify the submission of an application for the U.S. Department of Justice 2022 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (Grant) in the amount of $33,408 to fund Gang/Probation/Parole overtime operations and to purchase crime analysis software for the Redding Police Department; and authorize the City Manager to sign the grant application's Certifications and Assurances signifying that the governing body was notified of the application and citizens were provided the opportunity to comment on the application.

Fiscal Impact
This grant provides supplemental funding to the Redding Police Department (RPD). There is no negative General Fund impact by applying for and accepting this grant funding.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to approve the grant application. RPD would lose the opportunity to perform Gang/Probation/Parole overtime operations and to purchase needed software.

Background/Analysis
The Redding Police Department is scheduled to receive funding from the United States Department of Justice 2022 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant. This is a formula (block) grant through which RPD will be awarded $33,408. These funds are usually offered on an annual basis, but the amount and application deadlines vary from year to year. The grant application deadline was August 8, 2022, and the application has already been submitted online.

Prior to the utilization of these funds, the City of Redding (City) must make the application available for review by the governing body and must allow an opportunity for comments from citizens. Attached is a Utilization Plan explaining how the funds will be expended.

Report to Redding City Council August 30, 2022
Re: 4.9(a)--Department of Justice Assistance Grant Page 2 RPD requests that the funds this year be used to fund Gang/Probation/Parole overtime operations and to purchase crime analysis software. Prior to 2015, RPD operated a Gang/Probation/Parole Unit with the mission to conduct proactive gang enforcement, investigate gang-related offenses, perform probation/parole searches of known gang members, identify gang marking and graffiti, gather intelligence, identify and document gang members, provide statistical data to the city and the public, and to educate schools and members of the public on how to identify gang activity, as well as the dangers associated with it. Due to staffing challenges, the unit was disbanded in 2015.

This grant will provide RPD the opportunity to be proactive regarding gang and probation/parole issues.

As policing becomes more and more data driven, it is necessary to provide the Crime Analyst with the proper tools to analyze the collected data. Currently, the data is collected in the department’s record management system (RMS) and then must be abstracted and manually analyzed through spreadsheets. The crime analysis software will be used to streamline the process of analyzing data and providing it to those who need it.

Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Public Safety – “Work to improve all aspects of public safety to help people feel secure and safe where they live, work, and play in the City of Redding.” Attachments
Project Narrative - JAG 2022
Packet Pg. 278
Proposal Narrative
The City of Redding Police Department (RPD) is an agency with 117 authorized sworn positions. Over the last several years, RPD has been able to add additional sworn positions but still struggles to keep up with crime in the area. The award of $33,408 will be used to for Gang/Probation/Parole operations and to purchase crime analysis software.

Gang/Probation/Parole Operations - Prior to 2015, the Redding Police Department operated a Gang/Probation/Parole Unit within the Detective Division. This unit generally consisted of 4 detectives and was supervised by a sergeant. The mission for this unit was to conduct proactive gang enforcement, investigate gang-related offenses, perform probation/parole searches of known gang members, identify gang markings and graffiti, gather intelligence, identify and document gang members, provide statistical data to the city and the public, and to educate schools and members of the public on how to identify gang activity, as well as the dangers associated with it.

The RPD Gang Unit also participated in an inter-agency coalition known as the Shasta AntiGang Enforcement Task Force (SAGE). The purpose of SAGE was to work together as allied agencies to reduce the ability of gangs to gain a foothold in Shasta County. Unfortunately, this collaboration could not be sustained due to staffing issues experienced by all of the agencies and the RPD Gang/Probation/Parole Unit, as well as SAGE, disbanded in 2015.

Since 2015, the Redding Police Department has not had the means to effectively identify, address, and enforce laws upon gang activity in the community. In recent years there has been Packet Pg. 279 Attachment: Project Narrative - JAG 2022 (4.9(a)--Department of Justice Assistance Grant) an increase in Asian gang activity related to unlawful marijuana cultivation occurring in the North State. The presence of these gangs has resulted in an increase in violent crime, to include a vicious homicide of a non-gang member in June of 2021. The suspect in this homicide was apprehended near Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he had ties to the Asian Crips gang.

RPD has also seen an alarming increase in outlaw motorcycle gang (OMG) activity with members from various groups. Most notably, the Hells Angels recently opened a Redding clubhouse in Shasta County, about 3 miles east of Redding city limits. The clubhouse has impacted the City of Redding by increasing the number of OMG members and affiliates who travel through the city, stay in local motels/hotels, and frequent restaurants and bars in the city.

This has resulted in an uptick in drug activity, violent crimes and firearm related crimes.

The State of California has historically struggled with crime related to the most well known Hispanic and African American gangs: Surenos, Nortenos, Crips and Bloods. Although Redding is a rural city in Northern California, RPD still struggles with issues surrounding these prison and criminal street gangs. These issues consist of drug activity, human trafficking, violence and various other crimes.

Having the necessary funding to allocate patrol officers and detectives to address gang activity in the City of Redding on a regular basis over the next three (3) years will have a noticeable impact and will stymie what has the potential to be a prolific problem in the City of Redding.

Packet Pg. 280 Attachment: Project Narrative - JAG 2022 (4.9(a)--Department of Justice Assistance Grant) JAG funding will be used to develop a program managed by a Detective Sergeant which would allocate two (2) officers/detectives working a four (4) hour shift approximately once a month tasked with the following:
• Proactive gang enforcement
• Probation/Parole search of known gang members
• Intelligence gathering and documentation
• Vetting known and likely gang members
• Investigate gang related offenses
• Gathering of statistical data
• Provide education and support to schools and community stakeholders • Improve the overall quality of life in the community
RPD will also coordinate with allied agencies in the region to share information and to address the problem at the regional level. Data will be collected on all operations to ensure the program is addressing the issue and to determine if another approach needs to be taken.

Crime Analysis Software – As policing becomes more and more statistic driven, it is necessary to provide RPD’s crime analyst with the proper tools to analysis all the data collected. Currently, the data is collected in RPD’s record management system (RMS) and then must be extracted and manually analyzed through spreadsheets. Purchasing software will allow the analyst to streamline the process and provide information to those who need it. New software would help with the following activities:

Packet Pg. 281 Attachment: Project Narrative - JAG 2022 (4.9(a)--Department of Justice Assistance Grant) • Identify, track and monitor drug and alcohol dependent offenders to help fill the gaps of the lack of jail space and aid with the Chronic Offender Accountability Program tracking when there is space.
• Track/identify youth at risk of joining gangs and/or using narcotics and establish prevention strategies to intervene with juvenile offenders to prevent future violent crimes. • Track/identify drug manufacturing and trafficking in the area and assist specialized units by providing information on problem areas.
• Track/identify crimes against the elderly.
• Help compile information to disseminate to the public/media that will be useful in the identification and apprehension of offenders.
• Compile data and information for release to the public/media to help build trust in our agency/criminal justice system.
• Aid the Crisis Intervention Response Team with tracking for their cases and provide new potential candidates for their programs.

While specific software has not been identified at this time, RPD will use the funds to identify the best solution for their needs and purchase it with JAG funds.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions:
(1) Approve the acquisition of Public Services Easements (Easements) at 5015 Bechelli Lane (Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 070-320-016); 1611 Dakota Way (APN 116-410-006) and 1620 Tidmore Court (APN 116-410-007) at no cost to the City; (2) Authorize the Mayor to execute all legal documents necessary to complete the acquisitions; and
(3) Find this action to be consistent with the General Plan and exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to 14 CCR Section 15061[b][3] Common Sense Exemption.

Fiscal Impact
There is no cost for the acquisitions, therefore these acquisitions will not have a fiscal impact on the City of Redding’s General Fund or Electric Utility Operating Fund.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose to not authorize the acquisition of the easements. This would require staff to find less optimal locations.

Background/Analysis
In order to increase reliability of delivering electric service, Redding Electric Utility will be undergrounding electric transmission lines and removing associated poles on the subject properties. Easements are needed to accommodate the subterranean placement of the lines. Staff has negotiated the acquisition of the easements at no cost to the City. The property owner agrees that the visual benefit gained by removal of the overhead electric lines as well as the increased safety associated with a reduced fire risk is a sufficient exchange for granting the easements.

For purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act per 14 CCR Section 15061[b][3], the project is considered to be exempt from environmental review under the Common Sense Exemption. There are no environmental attributes to the easements which would merit preparation of a mitigated negative declaration or environmental impact report. These easements do not have significant values for wildlife habitat or other environmental purposes. As such, there is no possibility that acquisition of these easements will have a significant impact on the environment.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following related to the purchase of one 2022 AlJon Advantage 500 Compactor for the City of Redding Solid Waste Utility:
(1) Authorize the purchase using Houston-Galveston Area Council contract pricing, with a net delivered cost of $977,249.79, including all applicable taxes and fees; and (2) Authorize the City Manager to approve future pricing adjustments, terms, and policy changes as needed due to inflation and unstable economic conditions up to a total of $30,000.

Fiscal Impact
Funding for this purchase was approved by the Solid Waste Disposal Committee and adopted in the Fiscal Year 2021-23 Biennial Budget; therefore, there is no new fiscal impact to the Solid Waste Utility.

Alternative Action
The City Council may choose to not authorize the purchase using Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) contract pricing, and direct staff to use the City of Redding’s (City) competitive bid process, which would delay acquisition of the compactor.

Background/Analysis
Part of the Solid Waste Utility’s (Utility) daily operations includes processing waste brought to the Richard W. Curry West Central Landfill (Landfill). Operations have seen a significant increase in construction and demolition debris in recent years, partially due to local fires and rebuilding but also new development. Using a compactor daily in landfill operations maximizes the capacity of landfill airspace for waste disposal, which is significant in extending the life of the landfill. The Utility would use this new machine as a replacement for the current primary unit.

Report to Redding City Council August 30, 2022
Re: 4.11(c)--Purchase of One AlJon Advantage 500 Compactor Page 2 The compactors work in a very harsh environment. The expected lifecycle for a primary or frontline unit is around 7,500 hours. On average the Utility puts between 1,500 – 2,000 hours annually on the compactors. They operate 6 days per week year-round. The current frontline machine has approximately 7,000 hours, and once replaced, would serve as a backup unit after needed repairs and maintenance are complete. The current backup unit has 13,230 hours and requires significant and costly repairs including replacement of two final drives, repair of a steering pump replacement, and replacement of metal wheels and teeth.

The HGAC cooperative contract was competitively bid. In addition to being an industry standard, using the HGAC cooperative contract to purchase equipment saves significant staff time which is needed to prepare bid specifications and solicit individual quotations from vendors.

The City also receives a significant price discount due to economies of scale realized through the volume of purchases on a multi-agency cooperative contract.

Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to Bid Schedule No. 5257 (Job No. 9943) Reconstruction of Terminal Building Access Roads Project Phase 2:
(1) Approve and award to Tullis, Inc., an additional amount of $56,575 for a traffic control plan required for the safe completion of Phase 2;
(2) Authorize staff to execute a Contract Change Order with Tullis, Inc., in the amount of $845,484 to construct Bid Alternative 2;
(3) Approve $84,000 to provide construction contingency funding and $22,650 for City of Redding staff construction management services;
(4) Amend Mead & Hunt, Inc., Authorization of Service (AOS) 22-07 to provide an additional amount of $134,604 for construction management services for the additional work;
(5) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to apply for and execute the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant applications and all subsequent documentation necessary to obtain grant funds for the projects; and
(6) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 57th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating $1,036,530 for the project.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed Bid Alternative 2 of the Reconstruction of Terminal Building Access Roads Project Phase 2, will be funded through a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) where the FAA will cover 90.66 percent of project costs. The Public Works Streets Division will provide currently budgeted local matching funds at 9.34 percent for this public roadway that also benefits the Redding Fire Department Station 7, located at the Redding Regional Airport. To seamlessly transition this additional scope into the access road project currently underway, and to reduce the impact of mobilization and demobilization costs, the City of Redding (City) will prefund this project with the expectation that the City will be reimbursed in Spring 2023, through the Airport Division’s MEETING DATE: September 6, 2022

BIL AIG allotment. The BIL AIG allotments are funds set aside for each airport based on their annual enplanements and do not need to be competitively applied for. It was by the FAA Airport District Office’s recommendation that this project be pursued using this source of funding, so staff considers the risk of failure to be reimbursed very low. Contingency funds will be prefunded by the City and reimbursed at the FAA’s discretion up to a maximum of 15 percent of the federal max obligation of the grant. Contingency funds are not authorized to be included in the initial AIG application and must be sought as they occur by amendment to the original FAA grant. Should any contract change orders be necessary to address site conditions, staff will pursue a grant amendment with the FAA.

Total Project Cost $3,163,557 $4,306,870 $1,143,313
Project cost components are estimates, and some shifting of the project development, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to award the increase for Bid Additive Alternative 2 for the Reconstruction of the Terminal Building Access Roads Project Phase 2 and provide staff with alternative direction. Without this Bid Additive Alternate, Flight Avenue will require continued repair and maintenance, and the project will not move forward. Further, future efforts to reconstruct the access road will come with the increased cost of mobilization and demobilization and higher unit pricing due to inflation.

Background/Analysis
The City of Redding competitively bid the Reconstruction of the Terminal Building Access Roads Project and opened bids on November 30, 2021. The bids were for the Base Bid, Bid Additive Alternate 1, Bid Additive Alternative 2, and Bid Additive Alternative 3. Attached to this staff report is a tabulation of bids received and opened on November 30, 2021, for this project. The Council awarded this project on June 21, 2022, to Tullis, Inc., the lowest bidder in the amount of $1,584,520. The engineer's estimate was $2,237,650. Also awarded was Bid Alternate 1 in the amount of $596,460. To date, project Phase 1 was completed early this Summer and Phase 2 is currently underway, which accounts for the bids associated with Base Bid and Bid Additive Alternate 1. Staff has worked with the FAA on identifying other funding sources for access road projects. Since this project was subsequently determined eligible for additional grant assistance through AIG, the recommendation is to proceed with Phase 2 - Bid Additive Alternative 2. There is no plan to pursue a Bid Additive Alternative 3 as the FAA indicates the work is ineligible for FAA grant assistance.

Packet Pg. 296
Report to Redding City Council August 31, 2022
Re: 4.11(d)--Authorize contract change order with Tullis & Approve AOS Amendment with Mead & Hunt, Inc. Page 3
Originally, the Council budgeted $6,750,000 for the total project when it was believed the project would be applied for in a single grant. To provide greater fiscal accountability, staff is reducing the previously budgeted value to only the amount represented in past grants and actual expenses associated with the previous phases of the project. This will allow for new funds to be appropriated to Phase 2 and provide staff with better ability to track and maintain project costs within the allocated budget.

The Reconstruction of Terminal Building Access Roads, Phase 2 - Bid Additive Alternative 2 work consists of the removal and reconstruction of street improvements along Flight Avenue at the Redding Regional Airport. The section of Flight Avenue to be reconstructed is approximately 1,250 lineal feet. The trees at the north side of Flight Avenue are not healthy and/or their roots are causing damage to the infrastructure. The scope of work consists of removal of the existing trees, curb and gutter and asphalt pavement sections. Replacement trees and the overall landscape plan will be identified at a later date along with funding resources. The asphalt concrete (AC) grindings will be recycled as aggregate base (AB) under the proposed sidewalks.

New lime treated subgrade and base will be installed along with new AC pavement.

Approximately 1,540 lineal feet of new curb and gutter will be placed together with about 2,190 square feet of concrete sidewalk. It is anticipated that conduits or sleeve crossings will be installed in approximately four locations to avoid future trenching through the new road section.

Similarly, a sanitary sewer lateral will be installed with a new manhole for a future service. The reconstructed road section will consist of five-inches of AC over nine-inches of AB. To complete the project, thermoplastic striping and markings will be placed, and new street signs will be installed to replace the existing ones that have faded significantly.

The Resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Environmental Review
On June 21, 2022, Council determined that the project is Categorically Exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, per Section 15301 - Existing Facilities, and Section 15302 – Replacement or Reconstruction. The determination still holds true, as all associated roadways and alternatives were included in the original CEQA review. No further CEQA review is required at this time.

On October 5, 2020, the FAA determined that the project is Categorically Excluded pursuant to FAA Order 1050.1F as it relates to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended.

No further NEPA review is required at this time.
