DISCUSSION
Background
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 funding provides for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the State highway and local streets and road systems. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) is responsible for oversight of funding and/or programs created with the approval of SB1.
SB1 provides funding for the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Program. Other programs include the Local Partnership Program, the Active Transportation Program, State Highway Operation and Protection Program, and Local Streets and Roads Program. The RMRA funding is part of the City's overall Gas Tax allocation; however, RMRA funds can only be expended on projects that meet eligibility criteria and have been approved by the CTC. RMRA funds are accounted for and reported separately from regular Gas Tax funds.
Approximately $8.4 million in SB1 RMRA Program funding was allocated to the City for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 and approved by Council on April 1, 2025, by Resolution No. 2025-04-01-1215.
The City Street Re-Striping FY 2025-26 SB1, Project No. WD26009, was included in the 2025-30 Five-Year CIP. The project will re-stripe 49 intersections Citywide and three centerline miles of arterial and collector roads (Attachments A and B). The improvements include lane-line striping, refreshing crosswalks, limit lines, and pavement legends that are worn. Existing worn traffic stripes and markings will be primed, and a new coat of thermoplastic material will be applied. Thermoplastic comprises plastic, binders, and glass beads to provide durability and retro-reflectivity to aid nighttime driving. The application is anticipated to last approximately five years. The selection criteria for this project were developed through visual inspection of the roads, existing work orders, and citizen requests.
On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. On August 20, 2024, by Motion No. 2024-08-20-1203, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2029. The CWTA was not applied to this project as the estimated construction cost was less than $1 million.
Present Situation
On January 16, 2026, the City Street Re-Striping FY 2025-26 SB1, Project No. WD26009, was advertised for bids. On February 5, 2026, three bids were received with the following results:
