RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the conveyance of a Grant of Waterline Easement over a portion of County-owned property having Assessor’s Parcel Number 155-280-011, from Contra Costa County (County) to the City of Martinez (City), in connection with the construction of the New Operations Command Center Project (Project), as recommended by the Public Works Director, and pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.6. (Project No.: WH140D)


DETERMINE that the conveyance of said easement is in the public interest and will not substantially conflict or interfere with the County’s use of the property.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute the Grant of Waterline Easement to the City on behalf of the County.

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to deliver a certified copy of this Board Order with the Grant of Waterline Easement to the City for acceptance and recording in the office of the County-Clerk Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund. The costs of granting this easement are included in the overall cost of construction.

BACKGROUND:

The County owns property known as Assessor’s Parcel Number 155-280-011, also identified as 1850 Muir Road/202 Glacier Drive in Martinez (Property). On October 17, 2017, this Board approved the Project and the construction contract was awarded to Hensel Phelps Construction Company in March 2018.

On November 3, 2020, construction of the Project was completed.

As part of constructing the Project, it was necessary for the City to install a waterline and backflow devices in order to bring water service to the Property. County will need to convey a permanent waterline easement to the City over the area where their facilities were installed and for future access and maintenance purposes.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The City would not have the necessary land rights over the area where their facilities are located and the City would not be able to access and maintain those facilities in the future.
