Report Title: Real Property Services Agreement between the County and Contra Costa Transportation Authority for the I-680/SR4 Interchange Phases 1, 2 A &4 Project.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to execute, on behalf of the County, a Real Property Services Agreement with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA), under which the County will provide right of way services to the CCTA for the I-680/SR4 Interchange Phases 1, 2 A &4 Project, effective March 1, 2024, until terminated by either party, with payment of the County’s costs not to exceed $320,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Contra Costa Transportation Authority Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The CCTA is planning for its I-680/SR4 Interchange Phases 1, 2 A &4 Project (Project). The Project requires the CCTA to acquire interests in Real Property. The CCTA requires a variety of right of way services but doesn’t have right of way staff or the ability to exercise the power of eminent domain and desires to contract with the County to provide right of way services.
Under the agreement, the County will provide appraisal, acquisition, and negotiation services, and if necessary, consider adoption of resolutions(s) of necessity, and, if any resolutions are adopted, condemn necessary property and property interests for the Project. Some of the County’s services will include supporting CCTA consultants with appraisal and relocation services. Construction is scheduled for spring 2025. All charges incurred by the County will be invoiced and reimbursed by the CCTA on a quarterly basis, including costs incurred as of March 1, 2024.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not be able to provide right-of-way services to the CCTA for this Project.
