RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, a Utility Agreement with Contra Costa Water District (District), effective November 9, 2021, to require the District to pay approximately $550,000 in connection with utility relocation for the Marsh Creek Road Bridges (#28C0143 & 28C0145) Replacement Project (Project), Clayton and Brentwood areas. County Project No. 0662-6R4083 / Federal Project No. BRLS 5928(125) (District III and IV)

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated cost for the work associated with this agreement is $550,000.00. The District will be responsible for the entire cost. (100% Contra Costa Water District funds)

BACKGROUND:

The Project proposes to replace two bridges on Marsh Creek Road (Bridge Nos. 28C0143 & 28C0145) over Marsh Creek in both the Clayton and Brentwood areas of Contra Costa County. The District owns and maintains water facilities within the limits of the Project. In order to construct the Project, existing District facilities need to be relocated. The District 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 Contra Costa County and the District.

The work includes relocation of a 4” water main, valves, and related facilities.

The County’s contractor for the Project will complete the work. The District will have the option to complete a portion of the work with their forces if the Project bids come in too high.

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 the District’s facilities and the Federal Funds will be lost.
