Increasing the estimated revenue from the State of California by $385,376; and b. Increasing the Street Maintenance project, PE-86070 appropriation by $385,376. Background/Discussion On May 15, 2017 staff brought an informational report briefing Council on the newly passed SB 1 funding formally known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Staff Report ID #8076). SB 1 established the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) to address deferred maintenance on the state highway and local streets and roads systems. The bill provides that funds shall be used for projects that include, but are not limited to, the following:  Road maintenance and rehabilitation  Safety projects  Railroad grade separations  Complete street components, including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and City of Palo Alto Page 2 stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project  Traffic control devices SB 1 specifies the annual allocation of funds for a number of transportation programs listed in the bill. The remaining RMRA revenues, estimated to reach $2.9 billion annually, will be split 50/50 between state highway and local streets maintenance and rehabilitation. SB 1 continuously appropriates the RMRA revenue to cities and counties using the same formula that applies to the existing base 18-cent per gallon excise tax. The bill includes a “maintenance of effort” (MOE) requirement for local funds contributed to street and road repairs to help ensure the new funding augments, not supplants, existing budgets for road repairs. Specifically it requires each city to spend no less than the average spent annually on street and road repairs from its general fund for FY 2010 through FY 2012. Preliminary MOE estimates for Palo Alto are substantially lower than the City’s current annual street and road repairs investment, indicating that Palo Alto will meet the MOE requirement. Palo Alto’s RMRA funding estimate for FY 2018 is $385,376. SB 1 requires that Council approve the budget appropriation with a project list that includes four components:  Project description,  The location of each proposed project,  Schedule for completion, and  Estimated useful life of improvement. Staff recommends the RMRA funding for FY 2018 be added to Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project PE-86070, Street Maintenance. The recommended appropriations actions will recognize and make available the funding in FY 2018 once the state makes the allocation. The SB 1 funding will support the City’s goal of achieving an average citywide Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 85 by 2019, with no street having a PCI less than 60. With a current citywide average PCI of 83, the City is on track to meet the 85 goal. However, additional funding is needed to address streets that will still have PCI scores less than 60. The funding will be used on the FY 2018 Asphalt Paving Project for streets shown in Attachment A. Work on this project is anticipated to be completed by December 2018. An award of the construction contract will be City of Palo Alto Page 3 brought to Council for approval in spring 2018. The estimated useful life of a street overlay is 30 years. Resource Impact SB 1 requires that Council approve the budget appropriation and the City must submit the report for planned expenditures to the California Transportation Commission by October 16, 2017; however, monthly appropriations from the State Controller’s Office will start in January 2018 increasing the City’s estimated revenue from SB 1 by $385,376 in the Capital Improvement Fund for the Street Maintenance project, PE-86070. Palo Alto’s RMRA funding for FY 2019 and ongoing is estimated to be $1.2 Million annually, and funding from RMRA in future fiscal years will be recognized and appropriated as part of the annual CIP budget process.
