C-578 and C-600 BACKGROUND In February 2021, Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) released a call for projects for the the Safe and Seamless Mobility QuickStrike program – a one-time, competitive grant program within the One Bay Area Grant (“OBAG”) program framework. This federally-funded program supports local and regional projects that could be implemented quickly to benefit communities responding and adapting to the COVID-19 environment. In May 2021, MTC released their final staff recommendations for the QuickStrike program. It included a total funding amount of $8.56 million for Contra Costa County projects, planning and programming activities. Unfortunately, this fell short of the $9.7 million target amount. Consequently, MTC staff proposed programming $1.955 million in prior One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) savings to projects in Contra Costa County. As the County’s Congestion Management Agency, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (“CCTA”) is responsible for administering and distributing Contra Costa’s share of the program funds to local agencies. At its meeting on July 21, 2021, the CCTA Board approved an appropriation of $1.605 million in QuickStrike program funds to the following two Danville FY 21-22 Capital Improvement Program projects that are eligible to meet the fund source requirements: San Ramon Valley Boulevard (South) Slurry Seal and Striping, CIP C-578 San Ramon Valley Boulevard (North) Improvements, CIP C-600 As these two projects are currently funded with Measure J funds, the QuickStrike program funds will allow reprogramming of Measure J funds to the Diablo Road Trail project. Furthermore, the two aforementioned San Ramon Valley Bouleverd projects will be combined into one project with the following revised funding plan: One BayArea Grant (OBAG) II 2 August 17, 2021 Resolution of Local Support DISCUSSION MTC requires that the Town adopt a Resolution of Local Support that authorizes the filing of an application for federal funds before the project will be included in MTC’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The resolution also requires the Town to adhere to all project delivery deadlines, funding amounts, and project-specific requirements that are contained in the grant program. PUBLIC CONTACT Posting of the meeting agenda serves as notice to the general public. FISCAL IMPACT A local match in the amount of $184,093 is required to remain eligible for this grant. The local match funding has been appropriated in the current Capital Improvement Program (CIP No. C-600).
