BACKGROUND The City of Pleasanton must submit grant applications for federal Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010 funding to the MTC through the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (ACCMA). The first step in the federal grant process is to have City Council adopt the attached resolution to authorize the grant funding application. On December 16, 2009, the House passed a $154 billion Jobs Bill (HR2847). However, the Jobs Bill is pending final approval from the Senate. The "Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010" is part of this Jobs Bill and includes $36.7 billion for highway, transit and other programs aimed at creating jobs and helping those hit hardest by the recession. The allocation amount to local agencies for eligible federal aided local streets and roads projects utilizing the Jobs Bill funding is unknown at this time. For grant application purposes, the funding level from the previous regional American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) of $1,588,105 is being used. In order to meet the program guidelines and restricted timeline, three eligible federal aided routes in Pleasanton were chosen for pavement rehabilitation under the federal Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010. These routes include 1) Foothill Road between Canyon Way and Muirwood Drive (north end); 2) Johnson Drive between Stoneridge Drive and Commerce Circle; and 3) Valley Avenue between Bernal Avenue and Hopyard Road. These three roadway sections are in need of repairs. The project will consist of resurfacing approximately 860,000 square feet of roadway with Type B or Open Graded asphalt concrete overlay construction. This project also includes base repair, replacing damaged concrete curb and gutter, replacing existing non compliant ADA curb ramps, adjusting appurtenances to grade, and installing pavement markers, new bike lanes, sub drains, roadway legends, striping, and traffic loops. The attached resolution and associated funding allocation may not be the only opportunity the City will have to benefit from the Federal Stimulus Package. City staff will continue to monitor additional opportunities and may bring forward subsequent resolutions to support the pursuit of additional funding.
