SUBJECT
(ALL) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount of $329,838.60 to Fund the Guardrail Design & Construction Project and Amend the Fiscal
Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

amount of $329,838.60, from available funds, for the purpose of funding the Guardrail Design & Construction Project (City Project No.
105034); and
2. Amend the Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The guardrail installation, maintenance, and replacement programs are to be administered by the Transportation and Public Works Department,
Transportation Management Division. The programs are to be funded via a Council appropriation of $329,838.60 for design consultants and
construction services.
Guardrails on the City's roadways are in need of repairs or replacement that have been damaged by crashes. The City has also received
numerous requests from stakeholders regarding installing new guardrails and also repairing guardrails in poor condition.
This program will prioritize new requests, repairs, or replacement of guardrails on roads by using a needs -based assessment, traffic volumes, and
crash rates. The program will be reviewed and its progress and effectiveness reported annually by Transportation Public Works staff.
Funding for this project was not included in the FY2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program because the funding source was unknown at the time
of CIP development. The action in this Mayor & Council Communication will amend the Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program as
approved in connection with Ordinance 25773-09-2022, Section 7. Capital Improvements, as listed on page 24.
Funding is budgeted in the Specially Funded Projects for the purpose of funding the Guardrail Design & Constructio project.
Guardrails are located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Unspecified -All Funds project within the Specially Funded Projects Fund
and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the Specially
Funded Projects Fund for the Guardrail Design & Constructio project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Transportation and Public Works
Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
