Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Department of Transportation, Maintenance and Operations Division requests the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 076-2026, adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27. These projects can be identified due to funding received from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 - RMRA). The County of El Dorado, Department of Transportation (Transportation), is authorized to receive the funding from the State of California due to the County providing a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) totaling $1,375,000 with local discretionary funding received through the Memorandum of Understanding with the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians (Tribe Funds). The MOE is the amount of money the State of California expects a local agency to allocate for deferred maintenance of its roads each year. The amount varies from agency to agency based on its discretionary spending each fiscal year. The FY 2026-27 proposed projects are as follows:
1. (District 1) El Dorado Hills Boulevard Road Rehabilitation and Surface Treatment (estimated cost $1,950,000)
Project Description: El Dorado Hills Boulevard Road Rehabilitation and Surface Treatment project is a multi-year project. The first three phases will concentrate on preparing for the surface treatment. Phase one (1) will consist of roadside brushing along approximately 2.1 miles of the identified roadway. Brushing consists of removing hazardous trees and all low-hanging foliage and opening up site distances as needed. Phase two (2) will consist of ADA curb ramp upgrades and possible culvert replacement or lining. All culverts will be inspected for life expectancy and be replaced or lined if needed. Phase three (3) will consist of repairing damaged asphalt on the 2.1 miles in the identified area, where needed. Phase four (4) will consist of a rubberized multi-layer cape seal surface treatment and thermoplastic roadway markings.
Project Location: The portion of El Dorado Hills Boulevard to be addressed is located north of Highway 50 and south of Harvard Way in El Dorado Hills, California.
Estimated Useful Life: The useful life of brushing is approximately eight (8) to twelve (12) years before crews would have to return to the area to brush again. The useful life of brushing will vary from location to location. The average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for these roads is seventy-eight (78). They were last inspected in January 2025. After completion of the surface treatment, the roads will have a life expectancy of ten (10) to fifteen (15) years.
Anticipated Start Date: Fall 2026
Proposed Schedule of Completion: Summer/Early Fall 2027
2. (District 2) Cambridge Road Rehabilitation and Surface Treatment (estimated cost $1,400,000)
Project Description: Cambridge Road Rehabilitation and Surface Treatment project is a multi-year project. The first three phases will concentrate on preparing for the surface treatment. Phase one (1) will consist of roadside brushing along 3.36 miles of Cambridge Road. Brushing consists of removing hazardous trees and all low-hanging foliage to open up site distances, as needed, in conjunction with herbicide application. Phase two (2) will consist of ditching and possible culvert replacement or lining. Ditching involves correcting drainage issues and ensuring all cross culverts are free of debris and are functioning at full capacity. At that time, all culverts will be inspected for life expectancy and be replaced or lined if needed. Phase three (3) will consist of repairing the asphalt on the 3.36 miles in the identified area, where needed. Phase four (4) will consist of a micro grind to improve rideability, rubberized multi-layer cape seal surface treatment, and thermoplastic roadway markings.
Project Location: The project starts at Highway 50 and continues north until it intersects with Green Valley Road in Placerville, California.
