RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2021/44 to APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit a 2021/2022 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Grant Application to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in the total amount of $100,000 for the fiscal year 2021/2022 for the 2022 Tara Hills Curb Ramp Project.


APPROVE the 2022 Tara Hills Curb Ramp Project and take related actions under the California Environmental Quality Act, and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the Project. San Pablo area. [County Project No. WO1025, DCD-CP#21-02] (District I).

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DETERMINE the Project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 15301(c) Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, and

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

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

FISCAL IMPACT:

Estimated Project cost: $390,000. This project will be funded approximately 75% Local Road Funds, 25% Transportation Development Act Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Project is to provide Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access to Tara Hills Elementary School to benefit the students, community, and mobility-impaired residents. The Project aims to install ADA curb ramps at various intersections along Shawn Drive leading to the southerly school entrance at Delmore Road, which is an extension of an adjacent ADA curb ramp project completed in 2020. Expanding on the previous project will achieve complete ADA continuity within the Tara Hills community. The Project will include installation of twelve ADA curb ramps with detectable warning surfaces and stop bars for vehicles, which will be set back to remove pedestrian conflict with vehicles. The Project is also considering installation of additional ADA curb ramps throughout the Tara Hills community.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

CEQA clearance is a requirement for Transportation Development Act (TDA) grant eligibility. If TDA funding is not obtained this project will not be constructed.
