A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE APPROPRIATION OF $3,040,843 FROM THE 2025- 26 SENATE BILL 1 FUND BALANCE TO THE 2025-26 PAVING PROGRAM
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017, to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions to keep residents informed about local transportation investments and project completions; and
WHEREAS, the City must adopt a list of projects proposed to receive fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and
WHEREAS, the City will receive an estimated $3,040,843 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2025-26 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, this is the ninth year in which the City has received SB 1 funding and this funding enables the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repair and replacement of aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would otherwise remain unfunded; and
WHEREAS, the City used the StreetSaver® Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure funds are directed toward cost-effective, high-priority projects that reflect community transportation needs; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 funding will help the City maintain and rehabilitate streets and bridges and support active transportation infrastructure in both the near and long term; and
WHEREAS, the StreetSaver® Pavement Management System, and the 2021 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment, found that the City’s streets and roads are in fair condition, and this revenue will help maintain and improve their condition over time; and
WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in local transportation infrastructure—with a focus on maintenance, safety, complete streets, and sustainable materials— will produce broad public benefits.
NOW, THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, ORDERED AND FOUND by the City Council of Richmond, State of California, as follows:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.
2. The following list of newly proposed projects will be funded in part or entirely with Fiscal Year 2025-26 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues:
Project Title: 2025 Paving Project: Asphalt Rubberized Cape Seal Reso. No.
Error! Unknown document property name.
Project Description: The project will include crack sealing, digout base repairs, asphalt rubberized cape seal, installation of pavement markings, traffic striping, pavement markers and curb painting. Asphalt Rubberized Cape Seal (ARCS) is a cost-effective, eco-friendly method using recycled rubber to extend the life of existing pavement. This preventative treatment extends pavement life of streets which are in fair condition by treating the road with a combination of a rubberized binder and chip seal which effectively creates a durable, water-resistant surface that protects against wear and tear. Generally, this treatment can extend the life of a road by 6 - 10 years.
Project Location: Various Locations throughout the City, listed in Attachment 2 & Attachment 3
Estimated Project Start Schedule: Construction anticipated to begin in June 2025 Estimated Project Useful Life: 6-10 years
Project Title: Carlson Crosstown Project Phase II
Project Description: This project will include flatwork, bike lanes and additional safety improvements for users of this corridor including: improved pavement conditions (crack sealing and mill & fill paving), enhanced safety for all users (road diet to calm traffic, improve visibility, and roadway delineation, and buffered bike lanes).
Project Location: Carlson Boulevard, from Broadway to Tehama Avenue Estimated Project Start Schedule: Construction anticipated to begin in April 2026 Estimated Project Useful Life: 20 years
