If the City is awarded the grant, the funds will be used for the resurfacing of Silvergate Drive between San Ramon Road and Dublin Boulevard, Clark Avenue between Village Parkway and Maple Drive, and Tassajara Road between the northern City limits and Shadow Hill Drive. This work would be incorporated as additional work in the Fiscal Year 2011/2012 Annual Overlay Project (CIP #969103). FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total project cost proposed as part of this grant application is estimated at $617,870. Staff is requesting $547,000 grant funding. These funds would aid the City in its Streets Maintenance Program. The minimum local funding match required by the City is $70,870 (11.47%) of the total project cost. The local funding match of $70,870 will be funded through Gas Tax Reserves. If the grant is awarded a future update to the Five Year Capital Improvement Program will incorporate the additional expenditures and funding. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council 1) Adopt the Resolution of Local Support Authorizing the Filing of an Application for Federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) and/or Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Funding and Committing the Necessary Non-Federal Match and Stating the Assurance to Complete the Project; and 2) Authorize Staff to incorporate the project costs and funding in a future update to the Five Year Capital Improvement Program provided the City is awarded the grant. $(ubmitted "By Publi ~ Works Director / ~ ~ ~ Reviewed By Re iewe By Administrative Services Director Assistant ~ Manager Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. ~.
