BACKGROUND The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed by President Obama on February 17, 2009, to stimulate the national economy. The ARRA funding for Local Street and Road (LS &R) System Preservation projects is divided into "Regional ARRA Funding" and "State ARRA Funding." The City of Pleasanton received $1,588,000 from Regional ARRA Funding and $370,000 from State ARRA Funding. These ARRA fundings were divided into the following three projects: 1) Overlay of Various City Streets, CIP No. 095014, utilized the Regional ARRA Funding of $1,588,000. After receiving the bid for this project, it was estimated that $1,216,711 from Regional ARRA Funding would be utilized for the total cost of this project, including construction contract, contingency, and construction services and management costs. Since the total cost is less than the Regional funds, the City of Pleasanton is eligible to receive $371,289 categorized as ARRA "cost savings" on another qualifying Local Streets and Road Preservation project. 2) The subject project, Santa Rita Road Pavement Rehabilitation, CIP No. 105023, which utilized Regional ARRA "Cost Savings" of $371,289. 3) Bernal Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation, CIP No. 095026, utilized the State ARRA Funding. This project was completed and accepted by the City Council on January 4, 2011. The total reimbursement amount of $370,000 has been received. On December 1, 2009, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the application for ARRA 2009 Cost Saving funding for this project. On March 26, 2010, staff received approval from the Department of Transportation to proceed with the construction of this project. On June 1, 2010, the City Council awarded the construction contract to rehabilitate the pavement surface on Santa Rita Road to G. Bortolotto & Company in the amount of $373,994.39. Santa Rita Road between Valley Avenue and Jensen Street was chosen for pavement rehabilitation because roadway condition warranted repair and met the requirements for ARRA funding. Damaged pavement totaling 24,000 square feet was repaired. All non - compliant ADA access ramps within the project limits have been upgraded. New roadway legends, striping, traffic loops, and video detection equipment were also installed. The subject project has since been completed and is ready for acceptance. Budget This project was approved by the City Council utilizing a fixed amount of $371,289 of ARRA funding plus local funding (gas tax) of $98,505. This local funding has been allocated from the Annual Resurfacing of Various City Streets project, CIP No. 095003. Contract change orders totaled a net increase of $4,048.40 (1.1% of construction contract), resulting from an increase in material quantities. Page 2 of 3
