BACKGROUND On December 16, 2009, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) approved the Cycle 1 Project Selection Criteria Programming Policy of federal funding in the Surface Transportation Authorization Act (pending further congressional development and action). MTC's programming policies also established the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) Block Grant approach, which delegates program management and project selection to the county congestion management agencies. The CMA Block Grant is being funded through federal STP and CMAQ funds and is composed of the following three programs: 1) Regional Bicycle Program (RBP), 2) Local Street and Road (LSR) Program, and 3) County Transportation for Livable Community (TLC) Program. The subject project will be applied for under the LSR program. Under the New Act STP /CMAQ Cycle 1 Program, approximately $15,888,000 has been made available to Alameda County under the Block Grant Program for eligible LSR projects. Based on a formula containing four factors (population, lane mileage, shortfall, and preventive maintenance), the City of Pleasanton is eligible for a fixed amount of $876,000 of STP /CMAQ Cycle 1 funding. A minimum of at least 11.47% ($100,477) in local matching funds is required to receive the funding for the project. DISCUSSION The City of Pleasanton must submit a grant application for STP /CMAQ Cycle 1 Program called CMA Block Grant to the MTC through the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (ACCMA). The first step in the federal grant process is the City Council adopting the attached resolution to authorize submittal of the grant funding application. In order to meet the strict federal program guidelines, the following roadway sections were chosen for pavement rehabilitation 1) Santa Rita Road (Pimlico Drive to Rosewood Drive), 2) Santa Rita Road (Rosewood Drive to Old Santa Rita Road), 3) W. Las Positas Boulevard (Santa Rita Road to Rockingham Drive), 4)OId Santa Rita Road (Rosewood Drive to Santa Rita Road), 5) Willow Road (Gibraltar Drive to Stoneridge Drive), and 6) Owens Drive (Hacienda Drive to Rosewood Drive). These roadway sections are in need of repair; the project would provide for resurfacing approximately 690,000 square feet of roadway with open - graded asphalt concrete overlay construction. The project would also include base repair, replacement of existing non - compliant ADA curb ramps, adjustment of appurtenances to grade, establishment of new bicycle lanes where possible, and installation of pavement markers, roadway legends, striping, and traffic detector loops.
