DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency has completed an inventory of all the City's streets that includes their general lifespan condition. Based on staff's assessment, an immediate infusion of funds to rebuild the City's neighborhood streets would advance the City's position to address all neighborhood streets and implement a long-term preventive maintenance program. Based on this strategy, it is recommended that over the next five years, $100 million be invested toward rebuilding and repairing City streets. To achieve this initiative, bonds in the amount of $60 million dollars would be needed to complete the $100 million investment. Neighborhood street improvements will include slurry seal, grind and overlay, reconstruction, and critical concrete repair of sidewalk, curb and gutter. In order to explore bonding alternatives and capacity, it is recommended that a financing team, including a financial advisor, underwriter, and bond/disclosure counsel, be formed. After extensive interviews, staff recommends the hiring of Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates (financial advisor), De La Rosa & Co. (underwriter), Orrick, Herrington & Sutliffe (bond counsel) and Quint & Thimmig (disclosure counsel). Upon final determination, a financing package will be brought before Council for review and approval. Compensation will be as follows: financial advisor in an amount not to exceed $55,000; underwriter in amount not to exceed $370,000 (based on a par bond value of $60 million) and contingent upon bond closing. Bond Counsel is responsible for preparing all of the 25C-1 Street Rehabilitation Financing Team July 16, 2007 Page 2 transactional documents for a financing. Disclosure counsel will be responsible for preparing the official statement and any other necessary disclosure documents. Quint & Thimmig's compensation will not exceed $50,000 (based on a par bond value of $60 million) and will be contingent upon bond closing. Orrick, Herrington & Sutliffe's compensation will not exceed $90,000 (based on a par bond value of $60 million) and will likewise be contingent upon bond closing.
