RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/259 approving and authorizing the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit a One Bay Area Grant Cycle 2 (OBAG 2) Application to the Contra Costa Transportation Authority for federal funding under the Local Streets and Roads Preservation (LSRP) Program for the Contra Costa County Local Streets and Roads Preservation Project for $4,327,000 and committing local support and assurance to complete the project, Byron, El Sobrante and San Pablo area. (District I, III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

The LSRP program will provide approximately 88.53% of Federal Funds, and the local match will be funded by 11.47% Local Roads Funds.

BACKGROUND:

Funds awarded from the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) Program will supplement Public Works Capital Road Improvement and Preservation Program (CRIPP). OBAG is a federal funding program which is administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). MTC is the transportation planning, financing and coordinating agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. OBAG encompasses several grant programs such as Safe Route to School (SR2S), Transportation for Livable Communities (TLC), Pedestrian, Bicycle and Trail Facilities (PBTF). The OBAG program factors include priority development areas (PDAs), dense job centers, and communities of concern.

Contra Costa County Public Works has applied for grant funding under the OBAG 2 Local Streets and Roads Preservation (LSRP) Program. LSRP is focused on pavement preservation and rehabilitation projects. Pavement preservation consists of projects to improve or sustain the condition of the transportation facility in a state of good repair. Preservation activities do not add capacity or structural value, but restore the overall condition of the transportation facility. Pavement rehabilitation is defined as a structural enhancement to the pavements which extends the service life of pavement. Seven miles of Vasco Road was submitted as a pavement preservation project along with three miles of San Pablo Dam Road and 220 feet of El Portal Drive.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this resolution of local support for our OBAG 2 application may jeopardize a potential funding source.
