TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution approving a list of projects citywide for repaving and resurfacing that are proposed to receive Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funding in a total estimated amount of $10,661,747 in the Fiscal Year 2023 Paving Program. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to adopt a Resolution approving a list of projects proposed to receive Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding for Fiscal Year 2023 (FY 23).
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), was passed by the California State Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017, to address significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide. The City of Long Beach (City) will receive an estimated $10,661,747 in RMRA funding for FY 23. This RMRA funding will be part of the proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) work in FY 23 designated to maintain and upkeep the City's roadway assets through a series of street improvement projects, which also include: Capital Projects Fund, Measure A, Los Angeles County (County) Measures M and R, and County Propositions A and C.
Proposed street improvement projects to be funded with RMRA funds are listed below:
• 5th Street (Temple to Obispo Avenues)
• Obispo Avenue (4th to 7th Streets)
• Carroll Park East (Carroll Park North to East 4th Street)
• Carroll Park East (East 3rd Street to Carroll Park North)
• Fidler Avenue (Sandwood Street to Del Amo Boulevard)
• Pearce Avenue (Arbor to Del Amo Boulevard Service Roads)
• Hersholt Avenue (Arbor Road to Del Amo Boulevard Service Road)
• Pageantry Street (Bellflower Boulevard Service to San Anseline Roads)
• Iroquois Avenue (Pageantry Street to Josie Avenue)
• Knoxville Avenue (Josie Avenue to Metz Street)
• Nipomo Avenue (Spring to Rosebay Streets)
• Ostrom Avenue (Spring Street Service Road to Nipomo Avenue)
• Monlaco Road (Karen to Stevely Avenues)
• Studebaker Road West Service Road (Keynote Street to Los Coyotes Diagonal Service Road)
• South Street (Jaymills to Atlantic Avenues) - Southside
• East 49th Street (Long Beach Boulevard to Locust Avenue)
• East Pleasant Street (Elm Avenue to East End)
• Cambridge Street (Long Beach Boulevard to White Avenue)
• East Scott Street (Long Beach Boulevard to White Avenue)
• Fenter Avenue West (Adams to West Bort Streets)
• West Barclay Street (Rahn Avenue to Long Beach Boulevard Service Road)
• West Forhan Street (N/S Alley E/O Susana Road to Long Beach Boulevard)
• Lemon Avenue (South to 64th Streets)
• Olive Avenue (South to 61st Streets)
• South Street (De Forest to Jaymills Avenues)
• South Street (Jaymills to Atlantic Avenues) - Northside
• 64th Street (Linden to Atlantic Avenues)
Eligibility requirements under SB 1 require that a list of projects proposed to receive RMRA funding be identified in a Resolution approved by the City Council, which must include scope, location, schedule, and useful life information. The bill also requires the use of a Pavement Management System (PMS) to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects.
The City's street paving program is guided by the citywide Infrastructure Investment Plan (llP) and the Pavement Management Program (PMP), in coordination with other CIP projects, and in consideration for the most efficient use of public funds. The llP was generated based on the passage of Measure A and takes a citywide approach to holistically consider where the City and its residents can reap the most benefits from infrastructure investment. Supporting the llP, the PMP inventories and assesses the structural integrity of every street in Long Beach every three years and provides an evaluation to systematically manage and prioritize street paving projects based on efficiency and effectiveness. All projects listed were recommended based upon the llP and PMP.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Erin Weesner-McKinley on May 2, 2022 and by Budget Management Officer Nader Kaamoush on May 9, 2022.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on May 24, 2022, to ensure eligibility to receive RMRA funds in accordance with SB 1.
FISCAL IMPACT
To receive RMRA funds, the City must adopt a Resolution that lists the projects planned to be funded with RMRA funds in FY 23. SB 1 is estimated to provide the City with a total estimated funding of $10,661,747 in FY 23. The recommended action is for the City Council to adopt the Resolution and does not include a budget appropriation at this time. If this Resolution of proposed RMRA projects is approved, the appropriation of these funds will be incorporated into the FY 23 budget development process and included in the FY 23 CIP Budget for approval by the City Council. This recommendation has no staffing impact beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is consistent with existing City Council priorities. There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
