SUBJECT: PPW JOB NO. 13 -22 — HILLSIDE ROAD REPAIR & RESURFACING
PROJECT 421- 811 -0007
APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE HILLSIDE ROAD
REPAIR & RESURFACING PROJECT AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO
ADVERTISE THE PROJECT FOR BID.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve plans and specifications for the Hillside Road Repair & Resurfacing Project
construction and authorize staff to advertise the project for bid.
BACKGROUND:
As a strategy to better align grant funding for municipalities with the State's transportation and
environmental sustainability policies, Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has
created the "OneBayArea Grant" Program (OBAG).
The OBAG Program is a new funding approach that integrates the region's Federal
Transportation Program with the State of California's climate law (Senate Bill 375, Steinberg,
2008) and the Sustainable Communities Strategy. Funding distribution is based on several
categories, including a jurisdiction's alignment with local land -use and housing policies.
Aside from the competitive OBAG grant application process, there are guaranteed OBAG grant
funds provided to agencies that can be used towards street repair and resurfacing projects. The
Town of Los Gatos will receive approximately $139,000 from OBAG, which is proposed to be
used for road repairs and resurfacing on Kennedy Road.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has developed the Hillside Road Repair & Resurfacing Project to take advantage of the
guaranteed OBAG funding to reduce the volume of deferred pavement repair maintenance on
Town roads.
