SUBJECT:Title
Consideration of a Resolution Adopting a List of Street Repair Projects for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road and Accountability Act of 2017; and Authorizing the Public Works Director to Submit the Necessary Project Information to the California Transportation Commission (No Budget Impact) (Public Works Director Lee).
ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 25-0078

Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-0078:
1) Re-adopting and revising the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 street repair projects list for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 to be funded by Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) and The Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) revenues.
2) Authorizing the Public Works Director to submit the necessary project information to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) as required by the Act, including year-end reporting for all SB 1 Projects.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City anticipates receiving $960,432 in SB 1 - RMRA revenues for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 for street repair and maintenance. To receive these funds, the City must adopt, by resolution, a list of qualifying street projects intended to be partially or fully funded with SB 1 funds on or before July 1, 2025. The funding from RMRA is received by the City starting on July 1 of each year. SB 1-funded projects are adopted with the City’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan each year.
BACKGROUND:
SB 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), was passed by the State Legislature and signed into law by Governor Brown in April 2017 to address significant transportation funding shortfalls statewide.
Beginning November 1, 2017, the State Controller began depositing funds into the newly created RMRA to distribute them to eligible cities under Streets and Highways Code Section 2032(h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system. As a condition of receiving SB 1 funds, the City of Manhattan Beach is required to adopt a project list and provide year-end reporting on completed projects.
DISCUSSION:
The Annual Street Resurfacing Program identifies streets for rehabilitation based on the triennial Pavement Management Program (PMP) Final Report, which ranks the pavement condition of each City street segment on a scale from 0 to 100 (with 100 being the best condition ranking). The City Council adopted the 2024 PMP Final Report on December 3, 2024, and the next PMP revision will be completed in the fall of 2027.
The CTC allows previously proposed and adopted projects from fiscal years 2024-2025 to be utilized for fiscal year 2025-2026 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) revenues.
The construction phase of the Cycle 2 Street Resurfacing Project, encompassing Marine Avenue and 14th Streets, is anticipated to be completed in summer 2025. Staff is currently finalizing the design for the Cycle 3 Street Resurfacing Project, which will focus on the streets adjacent to the Peck Reservoir site, including Peck Avenue and 19th Street. Cycle 3 also includes the reconstruction of Manhattan Beach Boulevard west of Sepulveda Boulevard. Construction for the Cycle 3 Street Resurfacing Project is anticipated to begin during the spring of 2026. Furthermore, staff is in the process of soliciting a professional services agreement for the design of the upcoming Cycle 4 Street Resurfacing Project, which will focus on resurfacing Aviation Boulevard between Artesia Boulevard and Manhattan Beach Boulevard, in partnership with the City of Redondo Beach.
The projects recommended to be carried over from FY 2024-2025 include
design services for the Cycle 3 Street Resurfacing Project, which consists of the following street segments:
Street Names Between Useful Life
(Design) Intersecting Streets
Manhattan Sepulveda Boulevard 15-20
Beach Boulevard to Dianthus Street
Peck Avenue Marine Avenue to 18th Street, 15-20
and 12th Street to Manhattan Beach
Boulevard
19th Street Peck Avenue to Herrin Avenue 15-20
Staff recommends the following new projects to utilize the upcoming FY 2025-26 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) revenues:
Construction of the Cycle 3 Street Resurfacing Project, including, but not limited to, the following street segments:
Street Names Between Useful Life
(Construction) Intersecting Streets
Manhattan Sepulveda Boulevard 15-20
Beach Boulevard to Dianthus Street
Peck Avenue Marine Avenue to 18th Street, 15-20
and 12th Street to Manhattan Beach

And design Services for the Cycle 4 Street Resurfacing Project, including, but not limited to, the following street segments:
Street Names Between Useful Life

Boulevard
The City intends to resurface or reconstruct these streets by cold mill and overlay, or full-depth reconstruction. These rehabilitation methods will extend the street pavement life between 15 and 20 years. Where necessary, repairs to the curb and gutter, sidewalk, and installation/reconstruction of curb ramps will also be constructed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The construction of a rolled curb is typically used in areas where standard curbs, gutters, and sidewalks do not exist to better transition adjacent driveway approaches and manage the drainage area runoff.
Based on the current progress of the Annual Street Resurfacing Program, staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution adopting and revising the FY 2024-2025 street list to include the remaining design services for the Cycle 3 Street Resurfacing Project. To support street rehabilitation efforts with the upcoming year’s allocation of SB 1 funding, staff also recommends adopting the street list outlined for design services for the Cycle 4 Street Resurfacing project and the construction of the Cycle 3 Street Resurfacing Project encompassing streets adjacent to Peck Reservoir, including segments of Peck Avenue and 19th Street, and Manhattan Beach Boulevard west of Sepulveda Boulevard to Dianthus Street.
