SUMMARY
Annually, the City Council adopts a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget. Staff will present
the proposed FY 2012 Capital Improvement Program budget of $20.5 million for City Council
direction and public comment prior to the adoption of the FY 2012 CIP budget by the City Council
in June.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 (b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore,
pursuant to Section 15060 (c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to
CEQA. Although environmental review is not necessary at this time, once the scope of the
individual projects to be funded have been defined, environmental review will be required for
each project and the appropriate environmental determination will be made.
RECOMMENDATION
No Council action is required. The Capital Improvement Budget will be scheduled for adoption
by the City Council in June 2011.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The forecasted 2012-17 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget in the amount of $59M
serves as a multi-year planning instrument to budget for multi-year projects and identify known
projects and anticipated funding in the 5-year horizon for public infrastructure improvements.
Although capital projects aze scheduled throughout the five-yeaz plan, only those
projects/programs funded and scheduled in the FY 2011-12 (the first year of the plan) are

adopted as part of the City's annual budget process. Programs slated for subsequent years may
be adjusted to reflect a priority change or funding restraints.
The City of Chula Vista is comprised of 51 square miles and has an estimated population of
244,000. As the second largest City in San Diego County, its asset portfolio has over 450 center
line miles of streets, several bridges, over 1,000 miles of sidewalks, trails and paths, 495 miles of
sewer, 263 traffic signals, 9,020 street lights, over 300 acres of pazks in addition to a number of
City-owned facilities. The goal of the City of Chula Vista Capital Improvement Program is to
provide for the sustainable preservation of City-owned assets at the lowest cost and leverage
financial strategies to address infrastructure needs.

A summary list of Public Works Accomplishments in the current fiscal year is attached
Awazds & Recoenition
Four Capital Improvement Projects received American Public Works Association (APWA)
Honor Awards this year. Awards include:
Otay Lakes Widening Phase I (STM355) -This project addressed service capacity issues as
segments of Otay Lakes Road were below traffic threshold level of service standazds resulting in
congestion. It also added a traffic signal at Elmhurst Street and Otay Lakes Road, pedestrian
improvements including Bonita High School access, installed ADA compliant ramps and
optimized traffic signals. In addition to completion of the road widening and traffic
improvements, City staff partnered with Southwestern College and Bonita High School to
2-2

Page 3 of 9
improve student safety and the Otay Water District to install a recycled water pipe. This is a
multi-phase project. The award was received for the first phase focused on the least-expensive
improvements within the northerly half of the full project's limits, plus widening a short segment
of East H Street. This was the most challenging phase of the full project due to multi-agency and
multi-utility coordination. Widening Otay Lakes Road to six lanes within the project limits and
adding new right-turn and lefr-turn lanes within eastbound East H Street resulted in greatly
improved levels-of-service beyond initial expectations, resulting in delaying of future East H
Street widening west of the project area.
Pavement Major Rehabilitation -Shingle Project on C street (STL345) - In keeping with the
City's long-standing commitment to modeling and promoting the use of environmentally
sustainable practices and products, the City of Chula Vista is the first agency in California to use
recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) from roof "tear-offs," (which normally end up in landfills) in a
street overlay project on C Street. The City partnered with Leed Recycling, Inc. to complete the
project. The use of RAS, which contains very high-quality asphalt and aggregates reduce asphalt
oil use by as much as 20% in street paving projects and reduces energy use associated with
producing asphalt oil from raw crude oil. California Commercial Asphalt (CCA) was the official
supplier of the RAS mix. The City also received recognition in a recent article published in the
2011 Forecast issue of the California Asphalt Maeazine.
Aboveground Biodiesel Tank project -This project represents a successful model for other
public agencies interested in developing the necessary infrastructure for communities to convert
to more sustainable fuel sources. The project maximized a federal stimulus funding opportunity
to "green" the community, while addressing along-standing operational issue (lack of adequate
on-site fuel storage). The capital improvement project is a part of the City's public outreach
campaign about broader environmental topics such as climate change, air quality, and solid
waste management.
Auto Sign -Located along Interstate 805, the Auto sign is 120 feet tall, double-sided. The base
structural tube is 6 feet in diameter with a 1" thick steel-welded tube embedded 12 feet into a 55-
foot poured concrete friction pile. The entire drilling operation, soil removal, foundation and
pole installation took place during early morning hours in order to maintain access to an adjacent
restaurant and shopping center. It is a vital tool for the businesses located within the
redevelopment district along Main street east of the freeway. The team used adesign-build
method to streamline the project delivery process and coordinate with all stakeholders on the
project. Businesses located in the redevelopment district noticed an increase in visitors of
approximately 25% in the first month after the sign went into operation.
Proposed FY 2011-12 CIP
Staff is pleased to present the proposed FY 2011-12 Capital Improvement Program budget in the
amount of $20.5 million that continues to program available funding to address asset deficiencies
and missing infrastructure.
As a result of dedicated funding streams, the City continues to make progress with the
preservation of two major assets -wastewater and pavement. The Wastewater Enterprise Fund
structure ensures that adequate funding is available to proactively address wastewater asset
lifecycles. Over 77% of the proposed budget is dedicated to the Roadway Asset System needs
2-3
4/14/11, Item 2
Page 4 of 9
primarily for traffic signals, local and major street rehabilitation projects; however, this
investment falls short of the amount needed to improve the condition of the streets in western
Chula Vista and maintain a favorable pavement condition index in the east as the City celebrates
it's 100 year birthday.
Significant challenges continue to face the City due to deteriorating assets. The estimated
funding deficiency for all asset systems maintained by the City estimated now needs of $7.4
million. The most challenging unfunded assets include canyon erosions, storm drains, and City
owned facilities such as recreation centers, fire stations, libraries, and historic buildings such as
the Women's Club and Rohr Manor. Citywide unfunded proposals to date total in excess of $80
million. Staff will continue to track these requests and look for funding opportunities.
The consequences of Asset failure can be severe. In response, the Department of Public Works
improvement efforts have been focused on transitioning from building and operating to
managing assets by extending asset life, optimizing maintenance and renewal of the asset, and
developing funding strategies to sustain long-term performance of the assets we manage.
The paradigm shift aims at seeking to minimize total costs and risks of acquiring, operating,
maintaining and renewing assets within an environment of limited resources while trying to
maintain service levels and adhering to regulations. During the recent Infrastructure Workshop
held on March 10th, the Public Works Department elaborated on the effort in progress to create a
systematic approach to getting the most use/services from infrastructure investments and the
funding requirements for each asset. Good asset management is an integral part of the
preparation of the CIP budget. Project identification moves to best practices that validate that the
CIP budget includes the right projects, at the optimal time, at the lowest cost for an optimal
capital investment program.
Proposed CIP by Fund
City staff continues to look for opportunities to diversify revenue and leverage funding for
infrastructure improvements. The proposed FY 2011-12 Capital Improvement Budget is
$20.SM, which does not include recent City Council appropriations of $3M for Third Avenue
and Main Street and the reallocation of $375,222 from CDBG-R to two new Capital
Improvement Projects ("Eucalyptus Park Right-of--Way (STL-376) and "ADA Curb Ramps FY
2011-12 (STL-377)). This represents only a slight decrease of $1M (5%) in funding over last
years adopted CIP budget. Staff is working on another $2 million dollars of new CIP projects,
which may be funded from assessment districts and/or grants prior to the final adoption of the
proposed FY 2011-12 CIP budget. Overall the 5-year program continues to trend favorably
despite the Nation's economic downturn and the fiscal constraints facing the City.

Nevertheless, traditional capital improvement funding sources with exception of TransNet and
Sewer Facility Replacement Fund continue to be low or non-existent handcuffing our abilities to
care for assets traditionally funded by the General Fund. As a result City staff has focused on
seeking grant funds for capital improvement projects and optimizing existing dollars by
implementing Lean and Asset Management best practices.
• Grant Efforts - A total of $903,370 in new grants are included in the proposed CIP
budget. This does not include funding for regional projects budgeted by other agencies
and the $14.9 million reimbursement authorization from the Federal Highway Bridge
Program for the Willow Street Bridge project. An additional $3.1 million in grant
applications to various State and Federal agencies/programs have also been submitted for
funding.
• Kaizen -The Public Works Department held it's first Kaizen event in October of 2010
with objective of improving the CIP project delivery process by reducing elements of
waste (non-value added, too much inventory, overproduction, excessive transportation,
over-processing, re-work, waiting time and motion). The Kaizen event resulted in the
streamlining of the process for delivery of ADA ramps improving linkage and flow and
saving 19 weeks in project delivery time. More importantly, it kicked off the
Department's continuous improvement program which aims at streamlining and
standardizing work in an effort to reduce errors, improve efficiency, increase capacity
and deliver a Capital Improvement Program within budget and on schedule.
• Asset Management - In January the Department began training key staff in Asset
Management and is currently working to develop Asset Management Hierarchy for each
asset system.
Proposed Capital Improvement Projects
A list of the Proposed FY 2011-12 CIP Program by Project Type is attached. The CIP Program
Document will be provided to the City Council at the Council Budget Workshop on April 14,
2011. The following is a summary by asset category:

Roadway Management System
The Roadway Management System consists of streets, traffic signals, street lights, pedestrian
improvements, streetscape projects, and bridges. A proposed amount of $15.2M has been
identified for Roadway related projects, which comprises 74% of the proposed FY 2011-12 CIP
budget. Based on City Council direction (Resolution 2007-080) on April 5, 2007, staff continues
to implement a Pavement Management System which emphasis maintenance efforts to preserve
good pavement in contrast to a "worst first" strategy, which focuses on streets that require
expensive treatments such as reconstruction. Many pavement preservation/rehabilitation projects
have been completed allowing the City to maintain its Pavement Condition Index of 72. The
current year CIP includes funds for inspection of all of the City's public streets to evaluate the
effectiveness of the City's pavement rehabilitation efforts and the amount of deterioration of
untreated streets. Bids have been received and staff will bring forward the contract award for
approval in May 2011 so that work can begin this summer.

Nevertheless, the investment in our streets falls short of the estimated $19.2 million needed per
year over a 10-yeaz period.) Although the City has used a lazge TransNet fund reserve over the
last few years for pavement program there is a significant gap between the annual available
pavement preservation revenue and the amount needed per year. The graph shows the revenue
gap from FY2011 through FY2015. The chart includes limited duration funding, such as
Proposition 1B and the ARRA Swap, received during FY 2009 and 2010:
In April of 2007 the City's pavement consultant Nichols Consulting Engineers, Chartered, presented the City
Council with a chart showing the funding required to eliminate the backlog and bring pavement preservation to
acceptable levels that can be maintained with an annual allocation of about $6 million_

Drainage Management Svstem
Drainage refers to the management of urban runoff and flood control (pipes, culverts, channels,
detention basins, etc.), and Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP), which is part of the City's storm water
conveyance system. This is one of the most challenging assets to manage as it relies on the
availability of general fund monies. An estimated $1M has been identified for drainage needs.
The proposed FY 2011-12 CIP includes fending from TransNet funds for street related storm
drain repairs and replacement.
Wastewater Management Svstem
The Wastewater Management System consists of approximately 500 linear miles of pipe, 70
lineaz miles of access roads, 1200 manholes, and 11 pump stations. A proposed amount of
$4.1M has been identified for Wastewater related projects, which comprises approximately 20%
of the proposed FY 2011-12 CIP budget. The Wastewater Management System emphasizes
preventive maintenance efforts by minimizing the components that are used until failure. This
supports the City's goal of eliminating wastewater spills from the public system. This effort is
supported by an aggressive CCTV evaluation schedule that envisions a complete system
evaluation every 10 years. From this continuous evaluation the priorities are identified and
programmed. As the Wastewater Management System continues to improve by compiling and
analyzing more data, the City will be better equipped to achieve a sustainable system while
keeping wastewater rates as low as possible.
Miscellaneous Asset S s
A proposed amount of $123K has been identified for other Capital Improvement technology
related projects. These projects include funding for CIP Advance Planning studies, AutoCAD
and CIP Equipment and training.
Other Asset Management (AMA s
No funding is proposed for the Building Management System, Parks Management System, Open
Space Management System, and Fleet Management System in the Capital Improvement Budget.

REGIONAL PROJECTS
The City of Chula Vista CIP includes funding for several studies related to regional projects. It
does not include total costs of regional projects funded or led by other agencies such as
SANDAG or CALTRANS. However, City staff often partners or gets involved in the delivery
of these projects because they provide a direct benefit to the community and sustainable
infrastructure. The following is a summary of various projects:
Bayshore Bikeway project - Amulti-purpose bike path will be constructed by SANDAG along
the Bayfront area of the City in FY 2011-12. This project will construct a 9,100'-long (1.72-
mile) bike path from H Street to Palomar Street, all located west of Bay Blvd and will allow
cyclists, skaters, joggers and walkers an alternative route that pazallels the roadway but is
sepazated from the roadway. Construction is estimated at over $1.5 million and is funded by
regional and federal funds.
Interstate-5 Multi-modal Corridor Study - In an effort to identify all transportation related
improvements needed along, across and within the four-mile long Interstate-5 and rail corridor in
Chula Vista, the City has combined efforts with Caltrans and SANDAG to undertake this
planning level study in order to identify and prioritize needed transportation improvements that
will improve mobility and goods movement within the study area bounded by SR-54 and Main
Street. In addition to the roadway and freeway network, light rail trolley improvements aze also
being evaluated. TransNet and two Federal grants fund the study. Completion is expected in
FY11/12. Preliminazy study findings have already been included into the draft 2050 Regional
Transportation Plan, which is scheduled to be adopted by SANDAG in mid-2011. Final
recommendations from this study will be incorporated into future regional plans and as
individual projects into the WTDIF program and the CIP program.
The South Bay Bus Rapid Transit (SBBRT) project -The SBBRT project is expected to coincide
with the Caltrans I-805 Direct Access Ramp project. The SBBRT project will design and build a
21-mile BRT line between the Otay Mesa Port of Entry and downtown San Diego via eastern
Chula Vista, I-805 and SR-94. The project will include arterial "transit only" lanes, transit signal
priority, special shoulder lanes for busses only on the freeway, and enhanced customer amenities.
The SBBRT project will be in operation by FY13/14 to coincide with the I-805 Direct Access
Ramp project at East Palomar Street.
I-805 Direct Access Ramp project -Will be done in two phases. The initial phase to be
completed in FY13/14 will include the addition of one managed lane for each direction on I-805
from East Palomar Street to the north, so that there are 8-main lanes and 2-managed lanes. At
East Palomaz Street, a northbound on-ramp and southbound off-ramp direct access ramp system
with a transit station and park and ride lot will also be provided. The SBBRT is scheduled to
coincide with the completion of this projects' initial phase. The final phase, to be completed by
FY19/20 will provide an additional managed lane in each direction so that I-805 has 8-main
lanes and 4-managed lanes. Additional in-line stations at East H Street and Plaza Boulevard will
also be provided with a park and ride lot at East H Street. Caltrans has completed the Project
Study Report and will complete the environmental document in 2011. Initial phase construction
is tentatively scheduled to begin in FY12/13.

I-805 Southbound Auxiliary Lane project -This Caltrans project commenced construction in
October 2009 and was completed in March 2011 and provides for an additional southbound
freeway lane, additional auxiliary lane and other traffic operational improvements necessary to
reduce evening congestion for southbound I-805 motorists between Sweetwater Road and East H
Street. The $14 million construction project included $9 million in American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds and $5 million from the State Highway Operations and
Protection Program (SHOPP).
South Circulation Element & Otay Mesa Transportation System -These projects will allow staff
to work with other agencies to conduct studies on future roadways and freeway improvements in
southeastern Chula Vista, Otay Mesa and County of San Diego to accommodate growth in
eastern Chula Vista.
SR-54 Corridor and Arterial Operations -Provides for planning level work on needed
improvements for State Route-54 from Interstate-5 to east of Interstate-805.
SR-125 at San Miguel Ranch -Work with Caltrans, SANDAG and SBX in expediting
construction of the two remaining ramps at the San Miguel Ranch subdivision. Need to still
construct the northbound off-ramp and the southbound on-ramp.
Next Stens
