RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, a Utility Agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), effective November 10, 2020, to require PG&E to pay approximately $113,040, in connection with the utility relocation for the Marsh Drive Bridge (#28C442) Replacement Project (Project), Concord area. County Project No. 0662-6R4119 / Federal Project No. BRLS 5928(128) [District IV & V]

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated cost for the work associated with this agreement is $113,040. All costs associated with this work will be paid for by PG&E.

BACKGROUND:

The Project proposes to replace the bridge on Marsh Drive (Bridge No. 28C442) over the Walnut Creek Channel in both the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County (County) and the City of Concord. PG&E owns and maintains electrical facilities within the limits of the Project. In order to construct the Project, existing PG&E facilities need to be relocated. This requires relocation of existing electrical facilities within both the public road right-of-way and an adjacent PG&E-owned easement. This agreement addresses the utility work in the public road right-of-way. A separate service agreement will be developed to address the utility relocations associated with the adjacent PG&E-owned easement. PG&E will be 100% liable for the relocation costs within the public road right-of-way. The purpose of this agreement is to provide for the apportionment of duties and costs between the County and PG&E.

The work includes relocation of underground distribution electric power facilities in conduits and vaults in Marsh Drive, including distribution electric power facilities in conduits attached to the existing bridge.

The work will be done by both the County’s contractor and PG&E forces.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the agreement is not approved, construction of the Project will be halted, as the bridge cannot be replaced as proposed without relocation of PG&E’s facilities and the federal funds will be lost.
