RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco adopt a resolution approving the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal Year 2020-21, approving the appropriations request of $45,336,000, and authorizing city staff to prepare plans and specifications to advertise for construction bids for the projects under this program.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) was reviewed first by the Budget Subcommittee of the City Council comprised of Vice Mayor Addiego and Councilmember Nicolas, at a study session on May 18, 2020. The second review of the proposed FY 2020-21 CIP was conducted at a City Council study session on June 10, 2020. The proposed FY 2020-21 CIP reflects resulting City Council direction and comments.
On June 18, 2020, pursuant to Government Code Section 65401, the Planning Commission reviewed the CIP and adopted a resolution finding the CIP consistent with the General Plan. The CIP continues improvement of city streets, storm drains, sanitary sewers, facilities, parks, and traffic.
CIP Project Summary
The CIP outlines large capital expenditures and infrastructure improvements throughout the City. The CIP is the result of collaboration among various departments summarizing the necessary improvements and the priority of project implementation. City departments identify necessary improvements and prioritize project implementation when preparing the CIP.
City staff considers the following criteria when selecting projects for inclusion in the CIP:
• Grant funded projects requiring a city contribution
• Previously approved projects under construction or contract
• Projects required for regulatory compliance
• Projects to maintain or upgrade existing City infrastructure
• Projects with no general fund allocations
• Projects requested by the community or city departments
• Projects that can be reasonably delayed, are complete, or no longer necessary
With these guidelines in mind, Staff proposes the following FY 2020-21 CIP budget appropriations and reductions. The proposed fiscal year (FY) 2020-21 CIP budget is $195.3 million, with $45.3 million of new appropriations and $150 million of previous year appropriations for continuing projects.
