Subject:MOA with City of Pittsburg 7-10-12
BACKGROUND (CONT'D)
perform construction management and advertise for bids and award a contract for reconstruction of the roads in
accord with HUD regulations and HACCC policy.
Due to funding limitations, the repair of the roads will occur in at least two phases. Phase I of the project will focus
on the reconstruction of El Pueblo Avenue and a portion of Diane Avenue as these streets are expected to see the
largest increase in traffic from the new junior high school and El Pueblo Avenue is the most severely deteriorated of
all the streets at the property.
The City will contribute $62,430 from a Transportation Development Act (TDA) grant to provide for installation of
curb ramps consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act and may seek further TDA grants for future phases of
the Project. HACCC will pay for the remaining costs of construction. The total cost to HACCC of the proposed road
reconstruction will not exceed $710,000. The scope of Phase I is still being finalized. Phase I is anticipated to cost no
more than $375,000.
Reconstruction of Treatro Avenue, Del Tren Avenue and Hermosa Avenue will occur at a later date as funding
becomes available. The City will assume maintenance of each road as it is reconstructed.
Staff requests authorization to execute an MOA with the City of Pittsburg for the El Pueblo Street Rehabilitation
Project once it has been finalized by County Counsel.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost to HACCC for this project will not exceed $710,000. HACCC will fund the Project with a Capital
Fund grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in an amount not to
exceed $710,000 and the City of Pittsburg (City) will fund the Project with a Transportation Development Act (TDA)
grant in the amount of $62,430.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Should the Board not approve this item, then the required road work at El Pueblo will be delayed, causing further
deterioration to the road surfaces at El Pueblo as traffic in the neighborhood increases.
