Introduction
The TransNet Local Street Improvement Program of Projects is an element of the RTIP and any projects that are being considered for TransNet funds must be programmed during the RTIP adoption or amendment process. The RTIP is the San Diego region's program of proposed major highway, arterial, transit and bikeway projects that incrementally develops the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP).
Accordingly, each local agency must prepare a list of transportation-related projects for incorporation within the RTIP and must include the following project types:
· Projects that exceed an overall cost of $300,000 and are financed with federal or state funds;
· Projects using any TransNet funds, regardless of the project cost;
· Projects with regional implications; and
· Projects that significantly increase roadway capacity.
SANDAG has recently initiated an amendment to the 2014 RTIP and is providing the City an opportunity to submit any revisions to their Program of Projects at this time. The City has until December 5, 2014 to submit a signed resolution approving amendment No. 14-01 and certifying those projects programmed with TransNet funds comply with the TransNet Extension Ordinance. Amendment No. 14-01 will then be presented to the SANDAG Transportation Committee on January 16, 2015 for approval.
Discussion
On May 27, 2014, the City Council adopted a List of Projects to carry over from the 2012 RTIP to the 2014 RTIP. Because the List of Projects was needed several months prior to TransNet funds being drawn down and paid to the City, the TransNet programming needs to be updated to reflect the total actual amount of funds paid to the City.
As a result, staff recommends adjusting the City's Program of Projects within the 2014 RTIP Program to reflect the actual amount of funds received. A summary of the recommended changes is listed below:
· Borden Road Street Improvements and Bridge Construction #88165 (SM25) - proposes to adjust the total of programmed funds through FY14-15 from $9,077,161 to $9,599,956.
· Discovery Street Improvements #88265 (SM31) - proposes to adjust the total of programmed funds through FY14-15 from $1,673,789 to $1,990,000.
· Creekside Drive #88505 (SM48) - proposes to adjust the total of programmed funds through FY14-15 from $1,445,039 to $1,384,313.
All projects programmed with TransNet funds comply with the TransNet Extension Ordinance. Projects may also be revised with future RTIP amendments that typically occur on a quarterly basis. This amendment does not commit the City to any fiscal expenditure.
Fiscal Impact
Revising the above mentioned 2014 RTIP programming has no fiscal impact on the budget. This amendment reflects TransNet funds that have previously been paid to the City.
