?Recommendation of the County Administrator ? Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to release $800,000 from certain Park Dedication/Park Impact Fund Accounts to the Contra Costa County Public Works Department to help fund improvements to the Robert I. Schroder Bridge located along the Iron Horse Corridor at Treat Boulevard, in unincorporated Contra Costa Centre.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Park Dedication and Park Impact Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Robert I. Schroder is an award-winning pedestrian bridge originally constructed in 2010 in Contra Costa Centre. The existing bridge carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic over Treat Boulevard as part of the Iron Horse Trail and is located approximately 0.3-miles east of I-680.
The project includes minor repairs on the existing Robert I. Schroder pedestrian bridge to address the bridge's serviceability and aesthetics. The project proposes to replace bearing pads at two bridge abutments; spot blast and clean rusted or paint-chipped areas; treat the bridge deck to prevent water intrusion; and repair damaged concrete areas such as sidewalks and curbs. Other miscellaneous maintenance work includes replacing pedestrian restriction cabling, pressure washing, debris removal, tree trimming and vegetation trimming and removal.
The project will also include an additional climbing structure or other park enhancements along the multi-use Iron Horse Trail adjacent to the pedestrian bridge. The project is being funded with a combination of Measure X Funding and Park Dedication/Park Impact Funds. The following expenditure summary outlines costs estimates and funding sources associated with the bridge project.
