TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Daniel Wall, Public Works Directo4o)
Originator: Brandon Araujo, Project Engineer 1s•A.
RE: A Resolution Authorizing Submittal of Application(s) for all CalRecycle
Grants for which the City of Vernon is Eligible, Including the Rubberized
Pavement Grant Program
Recommendation
A. Find that approval of the attached resolution in this staff report is exempt from California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review, because it is a general policy and procedure
making activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment,
and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section
15378; and
B. Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Administrator, Director of Finance,
Director of Health and Environmental Control, Director of Public Works, the Chief of
Police, the Fire Chief, and the General Manager of Public Utilities, or their respective
designee, as stated in a separate Letter of Designation, to execute in the name of the City
of Vernon all CalRecycle grant documents, including but not limited to, applications,
agreements, amendments and requests for payment, necessary to secure grant funds and
implement the approved grant project.
Background
CalRecycle has established a number of grant programs aimed at reducing waste and diverting
materials from landfills.
Of particular interest to the Public Works Department is The Rubberized Pavement (TRP) Grant
Program. Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) is typically more expensive than conventional
pavement. TRP Grant Program reimburses the eligible grantees the difference in cost between the
RAC and conventional pavement up to an amount of $10/ton.
Generally, rubberized asphalt concrete provides structural performance that is superior to
conventional pavement. This superior performance is desirable in a city with heavy -vehicle traffic.
The Public Works Department is proposing the use of RAC for the Soto Street Resurfacing project,
currently scheduled for Fiscal Year 2018-2019. This project will resurface Soto Street from the
Los Angeles River to the City's southern limits. As a condition of the grant, construction must be
completed by April 1, 2020.
Attached is the completed application which was submitted electronically by the deadline of
October 5, 2017.
CalRecycle requires the City Council to adopt a resolution by November 2, 2017 that authorizes
the grant Applicants to apply on the City's behalf. CalRecycle offered two sample resolutions:
one that could be used for individual grants and one that could be used for all grants that
CalRecycle offers for which the City would be eligible. In order to reduce the need to adopt a
resolution for each individual grant the City may apply for in the future, the resolution to be used
for all grants was selected. In addition, since both the Health and Environmental Control
Department and the Public Works Department will have applied for grants from CalRecycle, the
language of the Resolution was expanded to allow the City Administrator, Director of Finance,
Director of Health and Environmental Control, Director of Public Works, the Chief of Police, the
Fire Chief, and the General Manager of Public Utilities, or their respective designee, as stated in a
separate Letter of Designation, to execute in the name of the City of Vernon all grant documents,
including but not limited to applications, agreements, amendments and request for payment,
necessary to secure grant funds and implement the approved grant project.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact as a result of adopting the attached Resolution. The grant funds will
benefit the City by reducing the cost of RAC.

documents, including but not limited to, applications, agreements, amendments and requests for
payment, necessary to secure funds and implement the approved project. The Resolution also
authorizes me to delegate this authority. Accordingly, I hereby delegate this authority to the

Application Information
Grants Management System (GMS)
Applicant: City of Vernon
Cycle Name: Rubberized Pavement Grant Program Application Due Date: 10/5/2017
Cycle Code: TRP9 Secondary Due Date: 11/2/2017
Grant ID: 20533
Grant Funds Requested: $55,000.00
Matching Funds: $0.00 (if applicable)
Awarded Funds: $0.00
Project Summary: As a part of the Soto Street Resurfacing project, the Public Works Department proposes to grind four to six inches of
existing asphalt concrete and replace with a conventional lift of asphalt concrete two to four inches in depth followed by a
two inch overlay of rubberized asphalt concrete.
Based on the limits of the project and assuming a 0.20 inch overlay of rubberized asphalt concrete, roughly 5,000 tons of
rubberized asphalt concrete will be required. Assuming that the full differential in cost between rubberized asphalt
concrete and conventional asphalt concrete is $10/ton and a 10% contingency, we have requested $55,000.
The Soto Street Resurfacing project is also slated to incorporate design features to improve the water quality of
stormwater runoff. We believe combining those features with the use of asphalt that incorporates the use of reclaimed
rubber will serve as an example to others how environmentally sustainable a road can be.
