On December 15, 2009, your Board adopted Resolution No. 070583, which approved a work plan for spending Proposition 1B Transportation Funds allocated in the FY 2008-2009 Appropriation. The reconstruction of San Mateo Avenue from Hampshire Avenue to Douglas Avenue is a project in the approved work plan.

The project consists of reconstructing the existing roadway between the existing curb, gutter and sidewalk. The Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District and the California Water Service Company have requested that specific sewer or water facility work be performed in conjunction with this project. The plans and specifications for the work have been prepared and staff is recommending that your Board authorize calling for bids for the proposed work.

|
|
The allocation of Proposition 1B funds to be used for this project must be spent by June 30, 2012.
|
|
|
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.

Approval of this action will contribute to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Livable Community by improving our roads for use by the traveling public to support livable connected communities.
