This work also includes the upgrading of curb ramps along these two streets to ADA Guidelines. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The request is for up to $822,000 in construction costs, which would aid Dublin in its Streets Maintenance Program. The timing of the funding is uncertain as it must be approved by the Federal Government. The project must be under contract within 90 days. At this time, the proposed Federal Program has not been approved, nor has the amount of funds that could be assigned to Alameda County been determined. If awarded the appropriation will be identified in the appropriate Fiscal Year in the Capital Improvement Program. The City Council will need to formally appropriate the funds prior to awarding a contract. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council 1) Approve the Resolution of Local Support -Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010 Funding; and 2) Authorize Staff to advertise for bids for this project once funding has been acquired and the project bid documents have been completed. I~ Sub ~ ed By Public Works Manager Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. ~ '~ DESCRIPTION: The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is anticipating the approval of the Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010 (Federal Stimulus II program) which would provide federal funds for local projects. In turn, the MTC will allocate these funds to cities in Alameda County for projects that are "shovel ready" (to be under contract within 90 days). The City of Dublin has requested $822,000 for the repair and pavement overlay of Village Parkway and Scarlett Court. The upgrade of the curb ramps along each of these streets to current ADA guidelines is also part of this proposed project. One of the requirements for the Federal Stimulus II Program is that each local entity proposing a project must state its support of its proposed project through a Resolution (Attachment 1) adopted by its governing body, in this case, the City Council. The Resolution includes the following three required statements: 1. That the sponsor understands that the Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010 funding is fixed at the programmed amount, and therefore any cost increase cannot be expected to be funded with additional Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010 or other MTC-programmed funds; and 2. That the project will comply with the procedures specified in the MTC's Regional Project Funding Delivery Policy (MTC Resolution No. 3603, revised) and with all project-specific requirements as set forth in the MTC's Regional Jobs for Main Street Act Program (MTC Resolution No. 3943); and project as described in the application, and if approved, as included in the MTC's TIP; and 3. That the project will comply with all the project-specific requirements as set forth in the Federal Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010 and appropriate applicable regulations or guidance. In addition to recommending that the City Council adopt this Resolution of Support, Staff is also requesting authorization to bid the project once funding has been obtained and the project bid documents completed. Staff has been processing the documents necessary to obtain approval in order to meet the required timeline in anticipation of the Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010 going forward and the City of Dublin being eligible for funding. The City's project is on a County-wide priority list and may or may not receive funding, depending on the amount of funds finally assigned to Alameda County. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: A copy of this Staff Report has been sent to the MTC, and if the Resolution is approved, it will also be transmitted to the MTC. If funding is received and upon completion of bid documents, the Notice to Bidders will be published twice in a local newspaper (Valley Times) to conform with requirements contained in Government Code § 37901 et seq., which governs public contract bids.
