Prior to Dublin' s incorporation, the County had designated certain FAU projects within the Dublin area and included those projects on the County' s Transportation Improvement Plan. As can be seen from a review of the attached project listing, the Dublin Boulevard/Dougherty Road Signals and Channelization project and the Regional Street/Amador Valley Boulevard signal project have been completed. No FAU funds were used on the latter project. In addition, the Dublin Boulevard Rehabilitation project from San Ramon Road to the Alamo Flood Control Channel was partially completed last summer with County funds. Funding From 1973-74 through 1981-82 the Dublin area was allocated $630, 464 in FAU funds . These funds were distributed to cities on the basis of population. However, after the 1980 census data became available all cities were required to compete for the FAU funds with the other cities within the county, based on the merits of each city' s project. The first. year that this competition becomes effective is 1982-83 . Since it was recognized that the Cities of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton have needs which differ from other cities, the Alameda County Transportation Advisory Committee agreed to establish an Urbanized Subarea for the Valley Cities. This subarea receives FAU funds based on population, and the three cities have to compete for the funds . At the first meeting of the Valley Urbanized Area, representatives from each City and the County agreed to permit each agency to utilize its 1982-83 allocation to fund those projects which are presently on the FAU list, and are only partially funded. This being the case, the City of Dublin would have approximately $58, 841 for fiscal year 1982-83 combined with a balance of $279 , 952 from fiscal years 1973-74 through 1981-82 for a total of $338,793 . The competition for FAU funds among the Valley Cities would then commence for the 1983-84 allocation. COPIES TO: ITEM NO. /• AGENDA STATEMENT - Federal Aid Urban Program Page 2 Projects Those projects which are on the FAU program for Dublin, and are yet to be completed, total $891, 000 , which well exceeds the $338 , 793 available to the City. It is advantageous for the City to have more projects in the program than available funds, in the event that additional funds become available in the future. The projects on the FAU Funding List which are yet to be completed are as follows : PROJECT COST 1 . San Ramon Frontage Road $311, 000 2 . Silvergate Drive & San Ramon Road - Signalize 105, 000 3 . Sierra Court & Dublin Boulevard - Signalize 105, 000 4 . Dublin Boulevard & San Ramon Road to Flood Control Channel - Rehabilitate 210, 000 5 . Amador Valley Boulevard/San Ramon Road to Donahue - Rehabilitate 70, 000 6 . Village Parkway/Amador Valley Boulevard to Dublin Boulevard - Rehabilitate 90 , 000 TOTAL $891 , 000 At this time the City Council may delete projects from this list, but it is too late to add any projects to the list. The City will have to wait until 1983-84 to submit new projects . Projects submitted at that time will have to compete for available funds with projects submitted by Pleasanton and Livermore . Such competition is based on a set of technical criteria and standards . It is important to note that signals alone typically score very low, and thus will have little chance of being funded after the City' s present allocation is expended or unless the signal is included as part of a project which has other types of improvements ,which score higher. In order for these projects to be included in the County Transportation Improvement Plan, the City Council must approve the list of projects. This . list of projects along with FAU projects lists from the other cities in Alameda County will then go to the Mayor' s Conference, and County Board of Supervisors for approval . The City Council may prioritize the projects if it wishes, however, the priority of these projects is not important for the purpose of spending the City' s present allocation at this time. Once this list is approved, the City may undertake any project from the list. After the City Council approves the list, Staff will conduct the necessary investigation to determine which projects would be most advantageous to the City to fund. It is Staff ' s recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the Dublin FAU Program Project Priority List. • ) 'COUNTY OF ALAMEDA FEDERAL AID URBAN FUNDING December 1982 DUBLIN URBAN AREA Page 11 of 14 , Fiscal Year 73-74 through 81-82 . • Balance of Allocation Includes 1981-82 allocation of $61 ,559 $ 630,464 ' Final Estimate Under Priority No. Project Description Jurisdiction Federal No. Est.
