RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute an encroachment permit from City of Oakley in connection with the Jersey Island Road Bridge Repair Project, Oakley area. County Project No. 0662-6U4134 (District III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project is funded 100% by Local Road Funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not be able to implement the required bridge lane closure traffic control plan as needed for public safety.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Public Works Department (County) was notified by Caltrans Office of Structure Maintenance and Investigations on November 8, 2018, that the Jersey Island Road Bridge requires an immediate northbound lane closure and load restriction posting due to Caltrans’ recent findings of multiple deteriorated bridge piles, until such a time when the bridge substructure repairs could be completed. As a result, County must install temporary traffic signals and lane closure warning devices on both ends of the bridge, including the south approach where City of Oakley has the jurisdiction. County is required to obtain an encroachment permit from the City of Oakley in order to implement the required traffic lane closure plan.

Under the permit, the County must indemnify and hold harmless the City of Oakley and its employees (Indemnitees) from and against any and all claims that arise from the work covered by the permit, unless the claim arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct from the Indemnitees.
