?Recommendation of the County Administrator ? Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Resolution approving and authorizing the Public Works Director, or designee, to fully close a portion of Morgan Territory Road south of Finley Road at County bridge at the existing bridge over Marsh Creek located at mile post 5.0 (County Bridge No. 7213-5.0), on April 8, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m., for the purpose of replacing a utility pole, Clayton area. (District IV)
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The County requires Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) to adjust or relocate electric lines within the Morgan Territory Road Bridge (MP5.0) Replacement project area. It is necessary for PG&E to provide 50' height clearance between electrical lines and roadway which will require PG&E to replace the existing utility pole. Due to the narrow road width of Morgan Territory Road at the work site, PG&E has requested a road closure to replace the existing utility pole. There is insufficient road width to setup and operate boom trucks and safely maintain through traffic. Applicant shall follow guidelines set forth by the Public Works Department.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Applicant will be unable to close the road to complete planned utility pole replacement. This will result in delays to the County project.
