  1. 2012 California Infrastructure Report Card Yazdan (YAZ) Emrani, P.E. Co-Chair, California Report Card Executive Committee Senior VP/Principal, Hall & Foreman, Inc. June 12, 2012

  2. InfrastructureReport Card? Why Do We Need That?

  3. To Assess the State of Our Infrastructure • To Properly Plan for the Future • To Develop Timely &Adequate FundingOpportunities • To have a Uniform and Consistent Message

  4. Historical Reluctance to Fund Infrastructure Renewal “Out of Sight, Out of Mind”Attitude Leads to Two Bad Outcomes: • Unexpected Failures • Major Rate Increases

  5. High-Cost Emergencies & Damage Repairs System Failures & Liability Claims Customer Outrage from Service Outages Because… Municipalities and Other Public Agencies Cannot Afford the Problems and Risks Associated with...

  6. Over the next 28 years, California’s Population is Expected to Grow at a Rapid Pace. It is Estimated that by the Year 2040, there will be More than 54,000,000 People that will Call California Home

  7. So, What Does That Mean? • More Traffic Congestion with Longer Commutes • More Expensive Housing that Many Residents May Not be Able to Afford • Crumbling Infrastructure Unable to Meet Increasing Demands • Less Open Space, More Pollution of Beaches and the Coast • Declining Quality of Life

  8. OUR GOAL HELP TO IMPROVE CALIFORNIA’S INFRASTRUCTUREFOR A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE

  9. California Infrastructure Report Card (CAIRC)

  10. CAIRC Structure • Executive Committee Set the Overall Objectives, Principles, and Methodology • Working Groups Gathered Data and Developed individual Report Cards • Review Council Reviewed and Critiqued Methodology and Findings • Public Relations Committee Developed PR Material and Contacted Media (over 100 people)

  11. INFRASTRUCTURE CATEGORIES • Aviation • Levees/Flood Control Grading Criteria • Ports Condition • Solid Waste Capacity • Transportation Operations • Urban Runoff Security • Wastewater • Water

  12. Assessment Criteria • Condition • Existing or Near Future Condition Assessment • Capacity • Exiting and future capacity • Master Plans and Funding Plans available • Operations - Very Infrastructure Dependent • Complying with regulatory requirements • Having sufficient funding levels for facility maintenance, i.e.. • The number of overflows in wastewater systems • NPDES discharge violations for stormsewer systems • Security

  13. So, How Did CA Do? $65 Billion Annual Need

  14. Aviation C- C+ • Air Travel Demands are Increasing • We Have Limited Existing Capacity • We Face Increasing Restrictions • California Must Ensure Efficient Air Travel and Cargo Transport by Maintaining its Competitive Edge: • Expanding Existing Airports • Building Regional Airports • Annual InvestmentNeed of $300 Million(To Achieve a B Grade – Typical of All Categories)

  15. Levees/Flood Control F D • Real Potential for Catastrophic Disaster to Life and Property • 235 miles of urban levees and 918 Miles of non-urban levees do not meet design criteria • Annual Investment Needof $2.8 Billion

  16. Ports C+ B- • Our Ports Provide a Vital Link in the Movement and Supply of our Nation’s Goods & Materials • Ports are Like Mini Cities • Overall Infrastructure is in Good Shape Today, but Projected Cargo will Double by 2020 • Infrastructure Must be Upgradedto Facilitate Rail/Truck CargoExchange • Annual Investment Needof $1.7 billion

  17. Solid Waste B B • Solid Waste Systems Operated by a Combination of Public & Private Entities • Recycling has Resulted in 65% Reduction in Solid Waste Delivered to Landfills • Advanced Planning is Underway to Extend Landfill Capacity Through the Year 2037 • Needed to MaintainCurrent $8.0 B AnnualFunding is Maintained

  18. Transportation D+ C- • 141,000 centerlines miles of street, 25,000 bridges throughout 58 counties • Average PCI of 66. If left at current funding level, PCI will be 54 by 2020 • The Overall Grade of C- Reflects Concerns About unfunded transit needs, • 16 Corridors in LA Area in the top 40 worst congestions sites across US per Texas Transportation Institute’s November 2011 Report • Annual InvestmentNeed of $36.5 Billion

  19. Urban Runoff D+ D+ • Water Quality Problems Impact our Daily Enjoyment of Life • Funding for urban stormwater has not kept pace with state and federal regulations • Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) are a tool for cleaning polluted water. They are costly to develop and implement • Regional Watershed-Based,Multi-Purpose and Multi-AgencySolutions & Funding are Needed • Annual InvestmentNeed of $6.7 Billion

  20. Wastewater C+ C+ • 100,000 Miles of Sewers & 900 Wastewater Treatment Plants • 4 billion gallons of Wastewater Generated Every Day by California’s Citizens & Businesses • SWRCD’s WDRs have helped highlight and stabilize collection systems conditions • State database shows efforts being made to improve collection systems • Annual InvestmentNeed of $4.5 billion

  21. Water C+ C • Water is Vital to Life for all Californians • Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta - A Vital Role in Water Delivery • Aging facilities risk public safety, water supply reliability, and water quality • Need Sustained Investments willto Increase Sustainability &Ensure Future WaterSupply & Reliability • Annual InvestmentNeed of $4.6 Billion

  22. This is not good, is it?? We must aim to remedy these problems in the short term. Emergency repairs can cost anywhere from 5-16 times more than on-time and preventive maintenance  In 2006 we projected an annual need of $ 37 billion. In 2012 that number is $ 65 billion. We are kicking the can down the road.

  23. So, What’s the Solution? The “Self-Help” Model Pay As You Go Public Private Partnership (PPP) Environmental Streamlining Optimized Decision Making Tools/ Principles of Effective Asset Management

  24. “Just invest in those infrastructure that you want to keep!!!”
