STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Approving a List of Projects Funded in Fiscal Year 2021-22 by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. FINANCIAL IMPACT: It is projected that the City will receive $1,148,339 in funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account for Fiscal Year 2021-22. This funding is in addition to the state gas tax funds the City receives annually, which is anticipated to be $1,611,931 in Fiscal Year 2021-22. DESCRIPTION: In April 2017, the State Legislature passed and Governor Brown approved Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Beall, Chapter 5, Statues of 2017). SB 1 created the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program to address deferred maintenance on the state highway system and on the local street and road system. It also established a significant, stable, and ongoing increase in state transportation funding. Funds for the program are deposited into the State Transportation Fund, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). SB 1 is projected to generate over $5 billion annually for state and local transportation improvements. Cities and counties are slated to receive $1.5 billion for repairs to local streets and roads at full implementation of SB 1. According to analysis by the League of California Cities, SB 1 will double the amount of revenue cities receive from the state for local street maintenance and rehabilitation needs, with allocations to cities based on population. 23 Page 2 of 4 The RMRA receives funds from the following taxes imposed under SB 1: •A 12-cent-per-gallon increase to the gasoline excise tax. •A 20-cent-per-gallon increase to the diesel fuel excise tax, half of which will be allocated to Trade Corridors Enhancement Account (TCEA) with the remaining half to the RMRA. •A vehicle registration tax called the “Transportation Improvement Fee,” based on the market value of the vehicle. •A $100 vehicle registration tax on zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) model year 2020 and later effective July 1, 2020. •Annual rate increases to these taxes beginning July 1, 2020 (July 1, 2021 for the ZEV fee), and every July 1 thereafter for the change in the California Consumer Price Index (CPI). The first adjustment was made on July 1, 2020 covering CPI change for two years: November 1, 2017 through November 12, 2019. RMRA funds are in addition to the traditional state gas tax funds which have been in place for decades and are allocated by the state through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA). The rules associated with the use of RMRA funds are similar but not identical to the rules associated with HUTA funds. RMRA funds must be used for projects that include, but are not limited to, the following: •Road maintenance and rehabilitation •Safety projects •Railroad grade separations •Traffic control devices •Complete streets components, which include active transportation projects, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and storm-water capture projects in conjunction with other allowable projects. Additionally, if a city or county has an average Pavement Condition Index of 80 or more (very good to excellent), then the city or county may spend its RMRA funds on transportation priorities other than those listed above. The City of Dublin currently has a three-year average Pavement Condition Index of 84. Maintenance of Effort SB 1 requires that RMRA funds not supplant existing general revenues that the City of Dublin is using on streets and roads. This is referred to as the maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement. The MOE is calculated by the State Controller based upon the City’s average spending for street and road purposes for Fiscal Years 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12. The City of Dublin’s MOE was calculated at $1,229,320. For Fiscal Year’s 2018-19 through 2022-23, the City’s adopted Capital Improvement Program includes annual budgets of $1.6M to $2.4M per year, which include a 24 Page 3 of 4 minimum of $1.23M of funds other than RMRA funds. Reporting Requirements For the City to receive RMRA funds, SB 1 requires the annual submission of a project list to the California Transportation Commission. The project list must be adopted by the City Council by July 1 in the form of a resolution adhering to the reporting guidelines. For Fiscal Year 2021-22, Staff recommends that City Council approve the project list to include the Annual Street Resurfacing and Citywide Signal Communications Upgrade projects, each of which are multi-year projects and have been approved by the City Council to use RMRA funds in prior fiscal years. The following new project is proposed to be funded in-part with Fiscal Year 2021-22 RMRA revenue. Annual Street Resurfacing (CIP No. ST0117) for Fiscal Year 2021-22 RMRA Funding: $973,961 This project provides for a variety of pavement surface treatments and repairs to existing City streets. The project is budgeted annually to help maintain the significant investment the City has in the street system. The project locations vary each year and are based on the City’s Pavement Management System. Attachment 2 shows the draft preliminary locations being considered this year. The project is currently in the preconstruction stage and locations are subject to change based on field surveys and inspections. It is anticipated that the project will include localized pavement repairs and then a full slurry seal of the entire asphalt pavement surface. Construction will start in summer 2021 and be complete by the end of the year. Surface treatments and repairs that will be completed as a part of this project will have a useful life of between seven and 20 years. The following project was previously adopted to use Fiscal Year 2020-21 RMRA revenue and is being proposed to be relisted and funded in part with Fiscal Year 2021-22 RMRA revenue. Citywide Signal Communications Upgrade (CIP No. ST0713) RMRA Funding: $196,320 This project provides for the continued citywide upgrade of the traffic signal communications system, including expansion of the traffic communication network, which will improve traffic signal operations and safety. In Fiscal Year 2021-22, the project will install communication network improvements along Dublin Boulevard and Tassajara Road. These improvements are currently in the design phase and construction is anticipated to start in late 2021 and be complete by mid-2022. The useful life of improvements varies based on the upgrades needed and the expansion components, which are expected to have a minimum useful life of approximately 10 years. In addition to the annual submittal of a project list, SB 1 also requires the City to submit to the California Transportation Commission an annual report updating the status of projects for which RMRA funds were expended. The Fiscal Year expenditure report is due on October 1, 2021. 25 Page 4 of 4 STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE: None. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: The City Council Agenda was posted.
