RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/260 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 Federal-Aid Secondary (FAS) Program for the Kirker Pass Road Open Grade Overlay Project for $1,343,000, and committing local support and assurance to complete the project, (Project No. 0662-6R4150) (District IV, V)

FISCAL IMPACT:

The FAS program will provide approximately 88.53% of federal funds and the local match for the project will be funded by 11.47% Local Road 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 for pavement rehabilitation of a 1.6 mile section of Kirker Pass Road under the OBAG 2 FAS Program. FAS is focused on improving rural roads. The last pavement surface treatment on this portion of roadway was in 2003. With approximately 18,000 vehicles a day, this high speed arterial requires pavement rehabilitation to prevent further deterioration of the roadway, improve its current Pavement Condition Index (PCI), and extend its service life.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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