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: $13,000,000. 100% Local Road Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the project is to rehabilitate various roads throughout the County with slurry seal, chip seal, microsurface seal, cape seal, thin overlays, thick overlays, edge grinding, base and pavement failure repairs and reconstruction. The areas include Alamo, Clyde, El Sobrante-Rollingwood, North Concord and North Richmond. The project is anticipated to start in the summer of 2021 and will take 2 - 4 weeks at each location depending on the type of treatment. Mill and overlay and chip seal segments will require one-lane traffic closures; slurry seal segments will require half-day street closures; and one reconstruction on a residential street in El Sobrante will require closure for one day. Residents will be notified in advance of construction. No right-of-way issues are anticipated for this project, as all work will occur within the County road right-of-way.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
County roads would not receive surface seals, overlays, or any reconstruction in 2021.
