HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 06082010 - C.01RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and ADOPT the Capital Road Improvement and Preservation Program (CRIPP)
for fiscal year 2009/2010 through 2015/2016, as recommended by the Transportation,
Water and Infrastructure Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the County General Fund.
Staff time was expended to prepare the Capital Road Improvement & Preservation Program.
Approval and adoption of the CRIPP will provide a planning document that will outline the
anticipated expenditures of road related capital funds in the next seven years. The CRIPP is
a working document that programs funds for capital road improvement projects within the
County. Preparation of the CRIPP is a requirement of the Growth Management Program
and Measure C/J funding.

Subject:Capital Road Improvement and Preservation Program for Fiscal Year 2009/2010 to 2015/2016
BACKGROUND:
The CRIPP was established by Resolution 89/306 under the County Road Improvement
Policy. The Policy was authorized by Government Code Section 66002 and is required
under the Growth Management Element of the Contra Costa Transportation and Growth
Management Program Ordinance approved by the voters in November 1988 (Measure
C-88) and reaffirmed in 2004 with passage of Measure J. Measure J requires that each
participating local agency develop a five-year CRIPP to meet and/or maintain traffic
service and performance standards. In 1991, the CRIPP was expanded to cover seven
years to conform to the Congestion Management Plan, and in 1992 the CRIPP update
was changed to a biennial schedule. For the 2009/10 CRIPP, staff sent the proposed list
of projects to each Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) to seek feedback and suggest
new projects for the CRIPP.
The Capital Road Improvement & Preservation Program (CRIPP) is a programming
document for the funding of capital road improvement projects within Contra Costa
County. It includes estimated project costs, funding source information, and scheduling
information for known potential projects within the next seven fiscal years. It also
includes revenue projections and a summary of estimated project-related expenditures for
each funding source.
Approval of the CRIPP by the Board of Supervisors does not automatically approve each
individual project listed in the CRIPP. Each project in the CRIPP is subject to a separate
public review, engineering feasibility analysis, and environmental assessment before the
Board of Supervisors will consider final approval of the project. As this is a planning
level document, adoption of the CRIPP will not preclude construction of projects that
have not been identified.
As more information is gathered about a project, the Public Works Department may
determine that the project will cost more than originally estimated for reasons not known
at this time. In such a case, the Public Works Department will study various alternatives
to find a solution to the funding shortfall. The Public Works Department will adjust
subsequent CRIPPs to reflect any changes in project scope or cost.
Adopting a CRIPP to guide our capital improvements will do several things for the
County:
• Increase public awareness of how and where funds will be spent on our road system.
• Enhance public trust and increase funding transparency by demonstrating that funds are
programmed and expended in accordance with an approved program.
• Encourage more public involvement in the programming and expenditure of our capital
funds.
• Provide accurate “accountability” of whether our transportation system will meet
acceptable level 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.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the CRIPP could adversely affect the schedule of road improvements
for the next seven years as this document provides direction for project planning and staff
requirements in the coming years.
Measure J and the County’s proposed growth management policy requires adoption of a
CRIPP be enacted to meet the anticipated needs of new development impacts on the
roadway systems. Without an approved CRIPP, the County will not be able to fulfill this
requirement, which would jeopardize our Measure J return to source funding.
