RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Main Street Sidewalk Improvements Project and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the project.


ADOPT Resolution No. 2013/89 to APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit a 2013/2014 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Grant Application to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in the total amount of $100,000 for Fiscal Year 2013/2014 for the Main Street Sidewalk Improvements Project.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

FIND the project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 2(c) Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15302(c) of the CEQA Guidelines; and

DIRECT the Director of Conservation and Development to file the Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk; and

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to arrange for payment of $25 fee to the Department of Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If awarded TDA funding, the project will be funded approximately 25% TDA Grant funds and 75% local road funds.

BACKGROUND:

Applying for and obtaining grants allows the County to construct more improvements than would be possible without obtaining these grants.

The Main Street Sidewalk Improvements Project was submitted to the Countywide Bicycle Advisory Committee (CBAC) for their review and comment and the CBAC found it to be a worthy project.

The Main Street Sidewalk Improvements Project includes construction and reconstruction of approximately 760 feet of sidewalk on the west side of Main Street between Camino Diablo and Holway Drive. The community has requested the project be constructed in order to replace cracked and failing concrete sidewalk and to extend the sidewalk to Camino Diablo.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve the submission of this application will eliminate a potential funding source.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
