after that deadline or at the meeting. Written materials, including emails, submitted to the City are public
records and may be posted on the City’s website. Accordingly, you may wish to omit personal information
from your written materials or oral presentation as it may become part of the public record regarding an
agenda item. In addition, City meetings may be recorded and may be accessed through the City's
website at https://www.rpvca.gov/agendas.

individual, the presiding member or their designee shall warn the individual that their behavior is disrupting
the meeting and that their failure to cease their behavior may result in their removal. The presiding
member or their designee may then remove the individual if they do not promptly cease their disruptive
behavior. This paragraph does not apply to any behavior described in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1)
of subdivision (b)(1) means engaging in behavior during a meeting of a legislative body that actually
disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting and includes, but is

indicia of intent and seriousness, that a reasonable observer would perceive it to be an actual threat to
use force by the person making the threat.

Time Estimates:

The time noted next to an agenda item is only an estimate of the amount of time that will be spent during
the meeting on that particular item. Accordingly, these estimates should not be relied on in determining
when a matter will be heard, especially since agenda items are often re-ordered during a meeting and
may be discussed at any time.

MEETING DATE: 09/28/2026
AGENDA HEADING: Regular Business

AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA TITLE:

Consideration and possible action to receive an update on the status of Right-of-Way and
Storm Drainage Improvements Projects and proposed construction schedules.
RECOMMENDED TSC ACTION:
(1) Receive an update on the status of Right-of-Way and Storm Drain Improvement
projects and proposed completion schedules; and
(2) Provide recommendations to staff regarding traffic impacts, schedule
considerations, and other related matters concerning delivery of these projects.
ORIGINATED BY: Dave Copp, PE, Interim Public Works Director
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
A. Project Information Sheets: CIP Project Nos. 8701, 8809, 8847, 8855, and 8858
B. Proposed Project Delivery Schedule for CIP Project Nos. 8701, 8809, 8847, 8855,

D. Project Vicinity Map

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Budget adopted by the City Council includes funding as part
of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for several right of way and drainage
improvement projects, which are anticipated to be in the construction phase in FY 2026-27
(Attachment A). Table 1 below summarizes these projects and their current status:

FY 2027-28 if
funding available

Without implementing a staggered construction schedule in many areas, all, if not several
of the above-listed projects are in position be in the construction phase concurrently by
November 2026 or sooner. This compounds the magnitude of risk associated with the
following factors:
1. The cumulative regional impacts on traffic circulation for commuters, students, and
emergency response
2. The forecasted strong rainy season influenced by El Nino conditions
3. The ongoing school season; most notably impacting students who access PVDE,
which is 1-lane in each direction for many parts of the roadway
4. Ongoing repairs to PVDS within the Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex
5. The magnitude of city staff resources required for public outreach, contract
management (construction and professional services), and project-related decision
making and issue resolution that typically arise during construction

To address this risk, Staff are proposing the schedule provided in Attachment B. The
proposed schedule serves to address the above-listed risks, as well as the prioritization
and reasoning shown in Table 2 below:

Assigned Priority
Basis
Some reaches are in near-failure
condition; Storm drains need to be
repaired before roadway resurfacing
should be done
City Council Goal 2.3, phased
approach of construction does not
have the magnitude of impacts
compared to 8847/8858/8855.
Construction procurement is in
progress. Anticipated construction
contract award: 10/20/26
Grant agreement was executed in
September 2026; delayed construction
bidding will increase the risk of
construction cost escalation and
resulting need for additional project
funding from other sources (gas tax,
general fund, etc.).
Concurrent construction with 8855
would create a traffic surcharge on
other arterial roadways across the
peninsula, especially during the school
season and rain events. Some traffic
calming elements in the Miraleste area
have the potential to be constructed as
the initial phase.

As part of the September 16, 2026 Infrastructure Management Advisory Committee (IMAC)
regular meeting, the IMAC approved a motion unanimously to support staff’s proposed
schedule and recommended that staff amend the schedule with additional information
regarding completion deadlines associated with awarded grants that fund some of these
projects (Attachment C). Since that meeting, staff have further determined what elements
of some projects could be constructed earlier without increasing the potential traffic impacts
described in this report. Those changes are reflected in the proposed schedule
(Attachment B).
Staff have initiated outreach to potentially affected residents, businesses and schools to
promote the opportunity to provide public comment at the September 28, 2026 TSC regular
meeting.

As part of the September 28, 2026 TSC regular meeting, Staff seek recommendations from
the TSC regarding the proposed schedule (Attachment B).

ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to Staff recommendation, the following alternative action is available for the
TSC’s consideration:
1. Take other action or provide direction, as deemed appropriate

Background and Justification
The City uses an asset management program for its public infrastructure to effectively
assess and forecast the City’s public infrastructure needs in order to ensure its reliability
and resiliency, while effectively using available maintenance and capital project resources
to implement repairs and improvements. By way of maintaining an updated master plan
of drainage and in-situ condition assessment program, the City’s drainage system
remains part and parcel of the City’s asset management program and practices.

ESTIMATED SCHEDULE
Engineering in Fiscal Years 2024-25 through 2026-27.
Construction in Fiscal Year 2026-27: Palos Verdes Drive West (PVDW) & Palos Verdes Drive South - from PVDW to Terranea Way
Contingent on identifying funding sources: Construction in Fiscal Year 2027-28: Palos Verdes Drive South - from Palos Verdes Drive East to City
Limit and from Schooner Drive to Palos Verdes Drive East

Project Location Map

Background and Justification
Good road conditions with smooth pavement are expected by the City’s residents and
businesses.
According to the 2025 Pavement Management Program (PMP) Palos Verdes Drive South
has an average Pavement Condtion Index (PCI) of 82 and Palos Verdes Drive West has an
average PCI of 85.
Timely maintenance reduces the overall lifecycle costs of roadway infrastructure.
Road conditions are assessed through a triennial inspection and assigned a rating which is a
basis for determining any needed treatment. The 2025 roadway condition assessment
determined that treating this section of roadway will reduce the overall life cycle cost and
improve its condition.

Project 4 - 3rd-party wireless carriers continue to be unwilling to participate in a Master Plan. They are selecting SWF sites based on proprietary criteria. Staff recommends revising the title of this Goal to be
"Enhance Wireless Coverage Citywide". Carriers indicated that RPV facilities may not be their highest priority, creating challenges to expanding coverage.

Project 1 - Due to extensive staff involvement in the Wildlife Corridor Project (mostly completed 9/2025) and the reopening of 3.5 miles of trails 12/2025, the TNP timeline was delayed from 1/2026 to 11/2026. Given the completion of the 2 projects, the TNP has
become a priority for 2026.
Project 2 - This Project is "At Risk" as it is highly contingent on the Federal government's willingness to provide - at a minimum - a time extension as well as securing several million dollars to begin planning and construction. Staff is seeking assistance from our
federal representatives. Due Date is "TBD" since it is reliant on the Federal gov'ts prioritization of this effort.
Project 3 - This Project "Needs Attention," because it is contingent on the Federal government agreeing to divest these properties. It is not considered "At Risk" since there has been no indication the Federal gov't is unwilling to discuss divestiture. Due Date is "TBD"
since it is reliant on the Federal gov'ts prioritization of this effort.
