FROM: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
SB 1346 RUBBERIZED ASPHALT CONCRETE GRANT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Director of Public Works/City
Engineer to apply to the California Integrated Waste Management Board for funds
available through the Senate Bill 1346 Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Grant Program,
Fiscal Year 2003/2004 and 2004/2005.
SUMMARY:
Every year, the Public Works and Engineering Department strives to program an Asphalt
Rubberized Hot Mix (ARHM) Overlay project for selected City streets that require
additional maintenance improvements that a typical slurry seal will not adequately
address. The State, through the SB 1346 Program, offers funding assistance to cities
that schedule ARHM overlay projects that utilize rubberized asphalt concrete.
BACKGROUND:
The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) receives an annual
appropriation from the California Tire Recycling Management Fund (Tire Fund) to
administer the Tire Recycling Act (Act) and related legislation. As part of the Act, the
CIWMB is offering the Senate Bill (SB) 1346 Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Grant
Program to encourage the reduction of landfill disposal and stockpiling of California
waste tires. The CIWMB has proposed funding allocations of $1,100,000 for fiscal year
2003/2004 and $1,200,000 for fiscal year 2004/2005. These funds are available on a
competitive basis to all cities, counties, special districts, and other local government
agencies that fund public works projects using rubberized asphalt concrete. The
Program reimburses applicants at rate of $2.50 per ton of rubberized asphalt concrete
used in their project.
This year, the Public Works and Engineering Department has proposed funding for a
two-phase fiscal year 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 ARHM overlay project. Phase 1 is
proposed to include an ARHM overlay of Barona Road (East Palm Canyon Drive to its
south end), as well as the first "phase' of the "Movie Colony", consisting of the following
streets: Granvia Valmonte (Indian Canyon Drive to Via Miraleste), Via Chica (Via Colusa
to Via Alta Mira), Valmonte Norte (Via Chica to Via Corta), Valmonte Sur (Via Chica to
Via Corta), and Via Colusa (Via Chica to Via Miraleste).
Phase 2 is proposed to include an ARHM overlay of Tachevah Drive (Sunrise Way to
Avenida Caballeros), as well as the second "phase' of the "Movie Colony", consisting of
the following streets: Via Altamira (Indian Canyon Drive to Via Miraleste), Avenida Palo
Verde (Tamarisk Road to Via Altamira), Granvia Valmonte (Via Miraleste to Avenida
Caballeros), and Camino Real (Alejo Road to its north end).
SB 1346 Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Grant Program

The first phase, fiscal year 2003/2004 ARHM overlay project will cover approximately
130,000 square feet of paving using approximately 1200 tons of rubberized asphalt
concrete. The second phase, fiscal year 2004/2005 ARHM overlay project will cover
approximately 150,000 square feet of paving using approximately 1400 tons of
rubberized asphalt concrete. Therefore, in total we propose to fund nearly 2,600 tons of
rubberized asphalt concrete paving over the next two fiscal years, which may use a
minimum of 130 pounds of crumb rubber made from California waste tires recycled and
saved from being wasted in California landfills.
Although the SB 1346 Program is highly competitive, we are hopeful that our application
will be received and approved. If funded, our the total two phase ARHM overlay project
will be eligible for reimbursement of up to $6,500 from the CIWMB. Applying for this
grant will require the City to commit to funding the second phase of the ARHM overlay
project. The first phase of the proposed ARHM overlay project is expected to cost
$250,000 and the second phase is expected to cost $300,000 for a total project cost of
$550,000. Although the total reimbursement available to the City only represents 1.2%
of the total cost, it is an opportunity to participate in the SB 1346 Program and continue
our City-wide recycling efforts.
The SB 1346 Program requires that agencies applying for grant funds submit an
authorizing resolution by the agency's legislative body. The proposed resolution will
allow staff to submit the required application for SB 1346 funding for the City's proposed
ARHM overlay projects.
