PROJECT LIST FOR THE STATE TRANSPORTATION

IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM (STIP)

AUGMENTATION STORM DAMAGE FUNDING PROGRAM

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the project list for the State Transportation Improvements Program (STIP) Augmentation Storm Damage Funding Program.

Background:

On January 14, 1999, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) adopted guidelines allowing for the use of 1998 STIP Augmentation Funds for the repair and rehabilitation of storm damage to local streets and road systems caused by the 1997/98 El Nino storms. The CTC has requested that counties submit an inventory of eligible projects by July 1, 1999. Accordingly, the MTA has requested that cities submit an inventory of eligible storm damage projects by May 31, 1999. The inventory must be accompanied by a City Council Resolution attesting that the projects meet the eligibility criteria.

Analysis:

The MTA Board of Directors allocated $50 million in STIP funding for repair of storm damage to local streets and road systems caused by the El Nino storms. Of that $50 million, $110,000 has been allocated to the City of Hermosa Beach to finance the repair of storm damaged streets. The following streets where damaged or damage was accelerated by the El Nino storms of 1997/98.

1. Ardmore Avenue pavement rehabilitation from 1st Street to northern city boundary.
2. 2nd Street pavement rehabilitation from Ardmore Avenue to Hermosa Avenue.
3. Pier Avenue pavement rehabilitation from Ardmore Avenue to Hermosa Avenue.
4. Hermosa Avenue pavement rehabilitation from 16th Street to 35th Street.

The adoption of the resolution is necessary at this time so that the City's project list will be included in the Los Angeles County Inventory and be forwarded to the CTC.
