RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Jersey Island Road Bridge Repair Project (Project) and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the Project, Oakley area. [County Project No. 0662-6U4134, DCD-CP#18-44] (District III).


DETERMINE the Project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 1(c) Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Director of Department of Conservation and Development to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to the Department of Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Estimated Project cost: $428,000. 100% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Project is to fortify and repair deterioration of the Jersey Island Road Bridge to prolong the bridge’s lifespan and return the bridge to full operation. Based on a recent Caltrans inspection and analysis, the existing condition of the bridge is such that it cannot sustain the design vehicle loads. Therefore, the entire northbound lane (eastern half of the bridge) has been closed and load restrictions have been posted. One-way traffic controls are now installed at either end of the bridge to allow one-way reversing traffic on the western half of the bridge only.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.
