SUBJECT: Approval of the Seven Year Capital Road Improvement Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE the seven year Capital Road Improvement Program(GRIP). The CRIP was distributed
to the Supervisors' offices on July 1, 1992, for their review and is also on file with the Clerk of
the Board.
ACKNOWLEDGE the 1993 Capital Road Improvement Program Report.
II. Financial Impact:
APPROVAL of the CRIP will outline the expenditures of road related capital funds in the next
seven years.
The CRIP is a programming document. Approval of the CRIP by the Board does not
automatically approve each individual project listed in the CRIP. Each project must undergo its
own individual engineering feasibility analysis and environmental assessment.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
On May 19, 1989, a County Road Improvement Policy was adopted to guide the development
and continuation of the Capital Road Improvement Program. On April 17, 1990, the Board of
Supervisors approved the first annual CRIP. This is the third annual Contra Costa County
Capital Road Improvement Program. The CRIP plans road improvement projects for the next
seven years to conform with the Congestion Management Plan which is also a seven year
planning document.

Adopting a CRIP to guide our capital improvements will do several things for the County:
♦Increased .public awareness of how and where funds will be spent on our road system.
♦Enhanced public image and public trust by showing that funds are programmed in detail and
will be expended in accordance with a bona fide program.
♦More public involvement in the programming and expenditure of our capital funds.
♦Provide accurate "accountability" of whether our transportation system will meet acceptable
levels of service to satisfy our growth management policies.
♦Provide a basis for projecting staffing needs over the next seven years.
♦Provide a budget tool to track expenditures of each type of funding utilized for capital
improvements.
The Transportation Committee has reviewed and approved the CRIP.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Failure to approve the CRIP will greatly hamper the road improvements for the next seven years.
Without an approved CRIP, the Public Works Department will lack direction for project planning
and staff requirements in the coming years.
Measure "C" and the County's proposed growth management policy also re uire a CRIP be
enacted to meet the anticipated needs of new development impacts on the roadway systems.
Without an approved CRIP program the County will not be able to fulfill this requirement, which
would jeopardize our Measure "C" return to source funding.
