The Street Program’s Street Reconstruction & Resurfacing Section contains Capital Improvement Program projects that
resurface or repave the Town’s streets as the primary scope of work. Projects may also encompass minor components of
streetscape or street improvements; however, to be categorized in the Street Reconstruction section, projects have pavement
rehabilitation as their main purpose. Safety issues, traffic levels, the pavement condition index, available funding sources,
project costs, and community impacts are all considerations in prioritizing Street Reconstruction & Resurfacing projects in
the five- year Capital Improvement Program plan.
This Street Program section contains an annual ongoing street rehabilitation project as well as identified one-time projects.
Funding sources include annual Gas Tax funding of approximately $500,000 plus Proposition 42 monies ($300,000) that
were reallocated to the Gas Tax Fund in FY 2010/11. Additionally, available grant funding, if secured, such as State
programs that focus on funding specific street categories, funds rehabilitation of specific arterial or collector streets.
Other than the annual Gas Tax Revenue, Los Gatos does not have an ongoing designated funding source for maintaining the
Town’s roadway system. However, the Town has adopted a Construction Impact Fee which could generate $375,000 to
$750,000 annually for additional street and roadway repairs that have become necessitated by the disproportionate amount of
wear and tear caused by construction and other heavy vehicles.

Town Wide
Project Name Street Repair & Resurfacing Project Number 811-9901
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Town Engineer: Kevin Rohani
Description This is an ongoing annual project for street rehabilitation throughout the Town to enhance vehicle
safety and to maintain the Town’s roadway infrastructure.
Location This project takes place in various locations including Town-wide arterials, collectors, and
neighborhood streets. The list of streets will be identified at the time the specifications are brought
forward for Council approval in Spring 2011.
Project
Background
Street rehabilitation projects are identified and prioritized according to pavement quality reflected by
the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), field inspection, traffic level and safety issues. While priorities
are set on an annual basis, ongoing monitoring of street conditions can result in reprioritization. In
addition, the Town performs preventive maintenance (i.e. slurry seal) on streets that are in good
condition to prolong their life and minimize the need for costly reconstruction in the future. Studies
indicate that regularly scheduled preventative maintenance will significantly extend the life of a street.
The Town has invested approximately $15 million since FY 2000/2001 to address the backlog of
deferred street maintenance. This investment raised the average PCI of Town streets from 64 in 2001
to nearly 74 in 2008. The PCI rating is a direct result of resurfacing work that is done in the Town.
Due to budget challenges, Town streets have been resurfaced by the application of slurry seal, which is
considered maintenance and does not raise the level of PCI as significantly as asphalt overlay does.
Limited asphalt overlay work has been done in Town in recent years due to State and Federal grants.
Given the small amount of asphalt overlay work performed, the Town’s PCI has dropped from 74 to 69
as of early 2010. It should also be noted that while the overall PCI has dropped, the Town has directed
its resources on arterials and collector streets, maintaining the PCI rating at 85 for arterials and 70 for
collectors. In 2010, the street resurfacing project was comprised of a combination of chip and slurry
seal. This approach was the most economical and prudent treatment to resurface several residential
neighborhoods. As stated earlier, the most effective way to raise the PCI of a street is with an asphalt
overlay. However, application of a chip and slurry seal will raise the PCI more than a simple slurry
seal treatment. The Town is currently in the process of preparing the 2011 Pavement Management
System which will reflect the 2010 PCI and incorporate the resurfacing work completed over the past
year.
The two dedicated ongoing funding sources for street repair are the Gas Tax and Proposition 42, which
total approximately $800,000 per year. The additional source is the recently updated Road Impact Fee,
estimated at $375,000 annually. The Town will continue to seek other funding sources for street repair
and resurfacing from State and Federal grants.

Budget Impacts
Conducting preventative maintenance on the Town’s roadways extends the life of the streets and
reduces the need for extensive reconstruction in the future, reducing staff time spent on road
maintenance. Engineering staff time for project design and oversight is addressed in the FY 2011/12

Project Name Almond Grove Street Rehabilitation Project Project Number 811-0003
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Town Engineer: Kevin Rohani
Description This project will develop a conceptual design plan for the rehabilitation of street infrastructure in the
Almond Grove District. Upon Council consideration and approval of the plan, the final design and
phased reconstruction of the neighborhood streets will begin in FY 2011/12 as part of a multi-year
project.
Location This project is located within the Almond Grove District Redevelopment Area.
Project
Background
The streets in the Almond Grove District have deteriorated over the years and due to funding and
maintenance constraints, no repairs or resurfacing activities have been performed. The proposed
project to rehabilitate the street infrastructure in this area will not only provide safe and functional
streets and sidewalks for the community, but reduce perpetual trip and fall accidents. Due to the scale
and magnitude of this project, proposed street rehabilitations will be phased over several years to
minimize construction impacts to the community and accommodate project funding as determined by
the Town Council. During consideration of the proposed FY 2011-2016 Capital Improvement
Program, staff will present a plan for neighborhood input regarding the Almond Grove Street project
and a proposed schedule for implementation.
