Reasons for Recommendations and 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). Measure C-88 required 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.
The Capital Road Improvement & Preservation Program (CRIPP) is a programming document for the finding 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 beforc 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 image and public trust by showing that funds are programmed in detail and will be
expended in accordance with a bona fide program.
• Encourage more public involvement in the programming and expenditure of our capital finds.
• 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.
On March 10, 2008, the Transportation Water and Infrastructure Committee held a Public Hearing on the 2007
CRIPP and recommended its approval and adoption.

CONSEQUENCES 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 C and the County's proposed growth management policy also require a CRIPP be enacted to meet the
anticipated needs of new development impacts on the roadway systems. Without an approved CRIPP program,the
County will not be able to fulfill this requirement,which would jeopardize our Measure C return to source funding.
