ClIT OF CHULA VISTA DATE: November 18, 2008 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Scott Tulloch, Interim City Manager 'S ) ~ / ',"oh,,,' Hooki",_ O""OW of ieo,'o"" 'Og~ ~ Request for Federal Funds - Economic Stimulus Package VIA: FROM: SUBJECT: In an effort to "jump-start" the economy, there have been repeated reports from Washington and Sacramento of a possible Economic Stimulus Package focused on job creation through the implementation of public infrastructure projects across the nation and the State, The Economic Stimulus program provides economic relief in a downturn economy and an opportunity to implement tangible improvements that add to the value and long-term sustaipability of public infrastructure systems, The goal of the Economic Stimulus Package is to quickly invest federal, state and local funds on public infrastructure projects, which will stimulate economic growth, as well as improve. preserve, and/or restore aging public infrastructure. f In an efl'0I1 to expedite and coordinate public infrastructure needs within the region, SANDAG asked each of its member cities to submit a list of infrastructure projects that could be ready for construction immediately, within six months, and within one year. SANDAG initially requested that local agencies identify local streets and roads, transit, and highway projects for submittal to our regional Congressionitl representatives, These lists were due to SANDAG on Friday, November 7th The abbreviated time frame within which City staff was required to respond to the call for projects did not allow for the standard practice of making a formal presentation to the Mayor and City Council prior to submitting the list In an el'I'011 to avoid being len off SANDAG' s list, City staff reviewed the infrastructure projects that had been previously presented to, and approved by, the Mayor and City Council in workshops earlier this year and submitted those projects to the SANDAG working group. Over $280 Million in local road and street and transit projects, along with nearly $50 Million in regional highway projects within the City's boundaries, were submitted to SANDAGtby the Engineering Department As a result 01' feedback from member cities, SANDAG expanded the request for economic stimulus projects to include sewer, storm water, and other public works projects, such as improvements to recreation, library, fire and other public facilities -- this supplemental call for projects was due to SANDAG by Friday, November 14,2008. A Citywide list 01' these types of public infrastructure projects was developed based upon input from City departments and a review of the City's Capital Improvement Program -- storm drain projects were not included in this supplemental list because a nnmber of high priority storm drain projects were already included in the initial November 7, 2008 submittal for local streets and roads. This supplemental list added S 190 Million in new requests for Economic Stin1l11us Package funding. - The following table provides a summary of funding for public infrastructure project requests submitted by category: Economic Stimulus Submittal Local Streets and Roads Transit Highways Sewer Other Public Works (including facilities) Estimated Infrastructure Funding Requirement Millions $ 276.00 $ 5.50 $ 49.50 $ 20.25 $169.13 $ 520.38 Copies of the lists of public infrastructure projects submitted to SANDAG arc attached to this memo for your reference. As you will note, the projects submittal does not include public projects that cannot feasibility be completed within the established criteria of being ready for construction immediately, within six months, and/or one year. Detailed project sheets including project descriptions and location maps are being developed for each submittal and will be made available for viewing. We anticipate this list and prioritization is "work in progress" and will be further refined based on criteria and agency funding allocations. The League of California Cities and the U.S. Conference of Mayors requested, and were provided, the project lists developed by City staff. Should you have any questions about items on this list, please contact me at (619) 409-5873 or Iraesema Quilantan at 409-5976. c: Leah Browder, Deputy City Manager Colleen Carnevale, Government Relations Liaison Kirk Ammerman, Principal Civil Engineer Frank Rivera, Principal Civil Enginccr Home on CityWide 2000:\Engineer.\Economic Stimulus\Economic Stimulus Info Item.doc Agency Name: Local Streets and Roads List of Projects City of Chula Vista.
