The Project Delivery Snapshot is intended to inform the 2009 updates of the 5YPPs and Strategic Plan. The Project Delivery Snapshot provides the following information for all of the 5YPPs from Prop K inception (April 2004) through February 2009:

We are still in the process of analyzing the data, but even a preliminary review reveals some clear trends, some good and some that raise concerns about project delivery rates. For instance, there are a number of 5YPPs where the sponsors have requested and received allocation of all the funds available from Fiscal Year 2003/04 through Fiscal Year 2008/09, and have also delivered the projects in a timely fashion such as curb ramps and street resurfacing. In other 5YPP categories, significant amounts of funds remain unallocated (e.g. Transit Enhancements, Guideways—Muni, Facilities—Muni). There are also categories that have allocated most or all of their available funds, but appear to be experiencing project delivery issues (e.g. delays). The latter warrants further investigation to consider project schedules and the specific factors relating to project delay and whether or not they are under the control of the project sponsor. One of the most compelling findings is that over $165 million (44% of available allocation capacity) for 5YPP categories remains unallocated. Clearly, a major focus on the 2009 5YPP and Strategic Plan updates is to work with sponsors to better forecast programming needs and evaluate project readiness so that we are not leaving Prop K funds idle, nor unnecessarily incurring financing costs (e.g. if projects are not moving in a timely fashion), but rather maximizing the efficiency of Prop K funds in order to fully deliver the Expenditure Plan.

Information in the Project Delivery Snapshot will be incorporated into the 2009 5YPP and Strategic Plan updates, and will be used to evaluate the reasonableness of requested programming, particularly helping to determine whether the project sponsor will likely be able to deliver a project consistent with the proposed schedule.
