REQUEST FOR. CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 11/17/2014
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Travis K. Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2014-88 authorizing submittal of a Grant Application to the
California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) for
Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC)
Statement of Issue:
A resolution of the City Council is necessary to submit a Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) Grant
application to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).
Financial Impact:
The resolution will allow for the application of up to $250,000 in grant funding.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2014-88, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Authorizing Submittal of Applications for all CalRecycle Grants for which the City of Huntington
Beach is Eligible."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the resolution and do not apply for.the grant.
Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach City Council adopted Resolution No. 2014-05 to create policies that
are mindful of protecting the environment, develop new policies and practices that conserve natural
resources, and minimize environmental impacts. In support of this policy, the proposed resolution
authorizes the Director of Public Works to apply for and enter into agreements for grants that
encourage the use of rubberized asphalt in City pavement projects.
Using rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC) provides an opportunity to reduce landfill waste and
recycle tires. For example, a two-inch layer of RAC is used on typical street rehabilitation projects.
The fiscal year 2014/15 budget provides funding for paving rehabilitation of approximately 2.75
miles of arterial streets or approximately nine lane -miles. It is estimated that about 2,000 waste
tires are used per lane -mile which equates to 18,000 tires that could be recycled in the City's
arterial highway rehabilitation program. The next RAC grant application will include projects for two
fiscal cycles
We submitted and obtained two RAC grants under the previous RAC Grant Resolution 2009-10
which expired on February 17, 2014. By adopting Resolution 2014-88 with the maximum five-year
term, it would allow the City to submit a November 2014 application and another application when
we are eligible again in 2018. Agencies are not eligible for RAC grants in consecutive fiscal years.
