Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Accept and Execute a Funding Agreement with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District for the 2020 Vehicle Trip Reduction Grant Program and Appropriate Funds
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) accepting and executing a funding agreement with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) in the amount of $200,790 for the implementation of the City’s Mission Blvd Protected Bikeway Project, Project No. 05316 and appropriate up to $223,100 from the City’s Vehicle Registration Fee fund (Fund 218) for the implementation of the Project.
SUMMARY
Staff has applied for and been successful in being selected for a grant to fund installation of bike lanes on Mission Blvd., between Harder Road and Industrial Parkway. The grant awarded by the BAAQMD will cover up to 90% of the project costs. The City will match 10% of the funds utilizing the Vehicle Registration Fee Fund (Fund 218) in the amount of $22,310.
Upon execution of the funding agreement, staff will begin the design phase of the project. This initial phase will be comprised of key milestones including development of conceptual layouts and presentation of those concepts to Council for approval.
The proposed protected bikeway will not cause reduction of lanes or loss of parking. The existing lane configuration and parking will remain. Once the concepts are approved, final construction documents will be prepared, and a construction contract will be awarded through solicitation.
