City of San Leandro <br />Meeting Date: May 2, 2022 <br />Staff Report <br />Agenda Section:File Number:22-292 CONSENT CALENDAR <br />Agenda Number:9.f. <br />TO:City Council <br />FROM:Fran Robustelli <br />City Manager <br />BY:Sheila Marquises <br />Engineering & Transportation Director <br />FINANCE REVIEW:Susan Hsieh <br />Finance Director <br />TITLE:Resolution to Authorize the City Manager to Submit Applications for the <br />CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant Program <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to submit applications for the <br />CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant Program, which will be utilized to partially fund the use of <br />rubberized chip sealing and rubberized asphalt concrete on future road Capital Improvement <br />Program projects. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The attached authorizing resolution is needed for the City to receive funding from the latest <br />Rubberized Pavement Grant from CalRecycle. CalRecycle issues a call-for-projects for its <br />Rubberized Pavement Grant Program approximately once every year and is part of CalRecycle’s <br />efforts to recycle and reuse solid waste that would otherwise end up in California landfills. One <br />hundred percent of the waste tires used to create the rubberized asphalt materials used by this <br />Program are generated in California. Each ton of asphalt binder material contains at least 300 <br />pounds of tire-derived crumb rubber, or 15% by weight. <br />The Rubberized Pavement Grant Program consists of two components. The first component is <br />for rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC), which reimburses local agencies for a portion of the cost <br />per ton for the installation of RAC. The RAC reimbursement rate for the latest round of the <br />Rubberized Pavement Grant depends on how many times a local agency had previously received <br />a grant for the use of RAC. The City of San Leandro previously received two Rubberized <br />Pavement Grants that included the use of RAC, so the reimbursement rate for the latest grant <br />cycle will be $14 per ton of RAC installed. The second component is for utilization of rubberized <br />chip sealing, which has a reimbursement rate of $1 per square yard of rubberized chip sealing <br />installed. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/27/2022
