Alternative Action(s):

Analysis:
The federal Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (CRRSAA), which was signed into law on December 27, 2020, appropriated $10 billion for the Highway Infrastructure Programs (HIP) through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). These funds will be distributed to regional transportation agencies. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) was provided $14.591 million, of which $3.66 million has been programmed for OCTA priority projects, with $10.932 million to be distributed to local agencies through the Pavement Management Relief Funding (PMRF) Program. Huntington Beach will receive $578,011. There is no local match required for this funding.
Projects eligible under this program included pavement: (1) preservation/preventative maintenance, (2) rehabilitation and (3) reconstruction. In addition, funds should be utilized on streets with the California Road System Map or the National Highway system. Staff is recommending the funds be used to supplement the FY 2021-22 Arterial Rehabilitation Project included in this fiscal year’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which meets the criteria above. To receive the funds agencies must upload a project list and provide a City Council resolution authorizing the project list to OCTA by February 28, 2022.
Environmental Status:
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
