HEARING to consider adoption of Resolution No. 2014/91 to approve the Capital Road Improvement and
Preservation Program (CRIPP) for Fiscal Year 2013/2014 through 2019/2020, as recommended by the
Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact. Approval and adoption of the CRIPP will provide a planning document that outlines the anticipated
expenditures of road-related capital funds in the next seven years.
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

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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.
The CRIPP is a programming document for the funding of capital road improvement projects within
unincorporated 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 development and 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 funding shortfalls. 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.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
