Council reviewed the proposed Seven-Year CIP at the Budget Workshop held on May 15, 2018. Staff provided an overview of the CIP, project highlights, various funding sources available for each project, and proposed improvements for FY 2018-2019. This program includes budgeted carry-over projects and a number of new projects. Adoption of the CIP will appropriate funding for FY 2018-2019.
The Public Hearing allows the community an opportunity to provide input on the proposed Seven-Year CIP Budget and for City Council to consider adoption of the FY 2018-2019 CIP Budget. The Seven-Year CIP is divided into six categories, namely: Street Improvements, Traffic Safety Enhancements, Water Improvements, Storm Drain Improvements, Sewer Improvements and Facility Improvements. There are 38 projects in the proposed FY 2018-2019 funded portion of the CIP. A detail sheet has been prepared for each proposed project containing a description of the project, amount of funding required and source of funds. The following are highlights of the FY 2018-2019 CIP:
Street Improvements:
This CIP category continues the emphasis on street pavement rehabilitation in accordance with the City’s Pavement Management Plan (PMP). The PMP is updated every two (2) years for arterial roads and every six (6) years for local roads as required by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). Current significant Projects as programmed and identified in the 2017 PMP and included in the FY 2017-2018 and FY 2018-2019 CIP are:
The Puente Street Rehabilitation Project (CIP 7311) which will rehabilitate Puente Street from Imperial Highway to Lambert Road. Improvements will consist of reconstructing existing asphalt pavement, replacing damaged sidewalks, curbs, and gutters as well as upgrading existing curb access ramps to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The Cliffwood Industrial Park Pavement Rehabilitation Project (CIP 7317). This project is combined with the Cliffwood Tract Water Main Project (CIP 7461) and several Alley Rehabilitation Projects (CIP 7315 and 7316), which will be completed in FY 2018-19. Also, staff will be looking to combine and complete three (3) Alley Rehabilitation Projects (CIP 7319, 7320, and 7321) this next FY. Additionally, the Public Works Maintenance Division continues to implement the annual City-Wide Slurry Seal Program (CIP 7312).
Traffic Safety:
This year’s CIP continues the implementation of the traffic signal synchronization project along Imperial Highway (CIP 7714) as part of the Measure M Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP). In addition, staff continues to implement the Illuminated Street Name Sign Upgrade Project (CIP 7212) throughout the City. A new project being added to the CIP this year is the Valencia Avenue Traffic Signal Synchronization Project (CIP 7715). This project will upgrade traffic signal control equipment and develop traffic signal timing plans and synchronize traffic signals along Valencia Avenue (SR 142) from Santa Fe Road to Imperial Highway as part of the OCTA RTSSP.
Water Projects:
As mentioned under the Street Improvements category, the Cliffwood Tract Water Main Project (CIP 7317) will be completed in FY 2018-19 as combined with the three pavement rehabilitation projects. Staff are also continuing to design four (4) key water main replacement projects inclusive of pavement rehabilitation in the project areas with the intent to construct in spring through the fall of 2019. The four key water projects are: Napoli Tract Water Main Replacement Project (CIP 7458), South Brea Neighborhood Water Main Replacement (CIP 7466), Walnut Ave.-Orange Ave. Waterline Improvements (CIP 7454), and North Hills (West/East) Tract Water Improvements (7459/7460 respectively). Public Works will also construct the Carbon Canyon Booster Pump Station 2&3 Replacement Projects (CIP 7470/7471) beginning in the summer of 2018. While these efforts cannot eliminate unplanned water line breaks, the strategic use of water funds for planned capital improvements reduces the number of more costly urgent projects that result from breaks in the City's water system.
Sewer Projects:
The Brea Villas – Sewer Point Repairs (CIP 7625) and South Brea Sewer Repairs (7626) Projects will be combined for completion in FY 2018-19. Additionally, staff will be pursuing the design and construction of several sewer mainline relining projects (CIP 7617) this next FY.
Facility Improvements:
Public Works continues to work on several projects as part of the Facilities Asset Replacement Program (FARP) that are expected to be significantly completed within the next fiscal year. Some of the main projects include: the Skate Park Upgrades (CIP 7914), Arovista Slope Repairs (CIP 7922), Dog Park Upgrades (CIP 7950) and Lagos de Moreno Park Upgrades (CIP 7929). Additionally, in coordination with the Finance and Community Development Departments, a FARP Reserve Study (Study) was completed to identify the appropriate levels of funding needed for fixed assets, primarily located at City facilities. This Study has provided a specific list of items that need to be addressed with a prioritization schedule and recommended solutions. Other facility Improvement projects that are being added in FY 2018-19 are: rehabilitating the upper and lower parking lots at Arovista Park (CIP 7947 & 7948) and conversion of the baseball infield at Arovista Park to synthetic turf (CIP 7949).
Annual CIP Programs:
Ongoing annual programs, including Slurry Seal (CIP 7312), Sidewalk Replacement (CIP 7313), Sewer Mainline Repair (CIP 7617), Miscellaneous Water System Improvements (CIP 7442), and Traffic Calming Enhancements (CIP 7219) will continue as funding allows.
In conclusion, with continued prudent fiscal management and project coordination, Brea’s Fiscal Year 2018-2019 CIP will support a variety of projects to sustain our infrastructure quality, as well as continuing the goals of enhancing the quality of life in the community, ensuring a safe environment, and promoting transportation improvements in the City.
