Executive Summary
This report recommends that the Mayor and City Council adopt resolutions approving the City of San Bernardino’s FY 2025/26 list of road maintenance and rehabilitation projects eligible for funding under Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. Approval is required to maintain the City’s eligibility to receive an estimated $5.94 million in Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding from the State. Additionally, the report seeks authorization for the Interim Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Plan to appropriate a total of $7.35 million—including $5.94 million in SB1 funds and $1.41 million in Measure I funds—to support the Street Rehabilitation – Major Arterial Entrances to the City project. These improvements align with the City’s strategic goals for infrastructure asset management and address critical pavement maintenance needs identified in the 2 0

City's pavement management plan.
Background
Senate Bill (SB) 1
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1 (Beall, Chapter 5, Statute 2017), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and road system. SB1 increases per gallon fuel excise taxes; increases diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees; and provides for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years.
On November 1, 2017, the State Controller deposited various portions of new funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A percentage of the new RMRA funding was apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032 (h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and road systems.
• Annually, on July 1st, the City of San Bernardino, along with all other eligible California agencies, submits a work plan to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) committing the following fiscal years RMRA funding to a specific pavement preservation project in the coming year or in a future year if the City so desires. The submission of the work plan maintains the City's eligibility to garner RMRA funding during the forthcoming fiscal year. Without this commitment of RMRA funds the City loses its eligibility to collect RMRA funding through the State Controller's Office (SCO).
Discussion
The City anticipates receiving an estimated $5,943,708 in SB1 funds in FY 2025/26, which will be used to support the repair, rehabilitation, and improvement of the City’s street segments identified on the SB1 FY 2025/26 project list. To remain eligible to receive such funds through RMRA program, the City, through its Measure I funds, is required to allocate at least $1,167,244 on an annual basis.
Every year on July 1 st, the City is required to adopt a resolution identifying projects using RMRA allocation and submit this list of adopted projects to the State to meet the eligibility requirement to receive RMRA funds. If this is not done by July 1, the City loses its eligibility to collect RMRA funding.

The City's required local Maintenance of Effort (MOE) amount to be applied to the project under SB1 is estimated to be $1,167,244.00, as shown on the table below.

These projects involve asphalt roadway maintenance and rehabilitation (mill and overlay, slurry seal), concrete improvements, striping and related work.
New Projects which are proposed for the City Council Approval to be listed under SB1/RMRA funding:
