BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department maintains 420 miles of roads and the County classifies 38 miles as arterial, 109 miles as collector, 259 miles as local, and 8 miles as gravel. The County also maintains about 22 miles of guardrails. Over many years, the County has constructed guardrails to help prevent drivers from driving into the Napa River, into creeks, and down roadway embankments. Every year wayward drivers damage guardrails along County roads and Public Works staff create a list of County roads with damaged guardrail to repair. In the past, County staff have hired contractors to repair individual damaged guardrails, or the Public Works Roads Division staff repaired the damage as time and funding allowed.

With the advent of funding from SB-1, the County now designates at least $500,000 per year specifically towards guardrail repairs. The funding requested for these roadway projects is for the project design and repair of the damaged guardrails. Construction is planned for Fall of 2025. The Director of Public Works recommends the approval for the creation of Project 25013 and the Budget Transfer. Staff will return to the Board of Supervisors at a later date for approval of the Plans and Specifications and request for authorization to advertise for bids.
