As part of the application process a resolution is required from the City Council approving the application submission. The project will be included in the proposed Five Year Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2010-11, but work on the project would be contingent on being awarded the grant and entering into an agreement with Zone 7 to provide their services. FINANCIAL IMPACT: State Grant Application Funding requested for the construction is $489,300. The application requires no financial match; however, to be competitive, the City of Dublin proposes to utilize City Staff to complete project engineering, project management and construction inspection. The estimated general fund cost for City Staff resources is $93,200. Additionally, Zone 7 will be providing Staff resources to complete the 5-year water quality monitoring and testing program. Estimated value of Zone 7 resources: $60,295 Grant Funding Request $489,300 City Staff Resources $ 93,200 Zone 7 Staff Resources 60 295 Total Project Cost $642,795 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt resolution approving the application for grant funds for the Urban Greening Grant Program under the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006 (Proposition 84~. ~~j ~ ~ ~_ ~ Submitted by: Reviewed by: Reviewe b: Parks and ommunity Administrative Services Assistant~ity Manager Ser~i~e 5 ~i~ec~or I'ire.c-f'o~'' Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. ~• ~ DESCRIPTION: On April 30, 2010 an application was submitted to the State of California seeking funding through the State of California - Urban Greening Grant Program. The grant application requires a resolution (Attachment 1) from the City Council approving the application submission. As part of the grant application the City proposes to remove 16,000 square feet of impervious asphalt paving in the parking spaces at the Shannon Community Center and Park as shown in Attachment 2. The asphalt will be replaced with pervious interlocking pavers. Additionally, twenty-five trees will be installed to shade the parking area and an existing planter will be converted to a bio-swale to treat the water. Subsurface soil from the parking spaces will be removed to install a sand/gravel mix that will allow for better filtration rates. Three to four wells will be installed as part of the project and the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Zone 7(Zone 7) will monitor and test the water quality for a five-year period. The results of the water testing will be shared with professional groups in the San Francisco Bay Area. Zone 7 is a project partner for this project proposal. Staff submitted the funding request as a means to address the need to replace asphalt paving at the Shannon Community Center and Park. If the project is selected for funding the City would be notified in September/October 2010. The State grant portion of the Project will be included in the Proposed Five Year Capital Improvement Program. Staff will not proceed with the project until the City is awarded the project funding and has secured a written agreement to provide the testing services at no cost to the City. The budgeting of Staff time as a project cost for design, inspection, and contract management will not occur until the City has been awarded the grant.
