RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Pacific Gas and Electric Company, to pay PG&E its actual costs to relocate its natural gas pipeline, and to execute a related consent to common use agreement, for the Balfour Shoulder Widening Project, Brentwood area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated cost for the work associated with this agreement is $297,084. All costs associated with this work will be paid by Discovery Bay West Traffic Mitigation Fee Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Project proposes to widen Balfour Road and to meet current design standards in the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County. PG&E maintains a 42” gas line within a PG&E easement area. In order to construct the Project, existing PG&E gas incidental items need to be relocated. This requires a permanent relocation of existing gas incidental items to the north side of Balfour Road. The purpose of this agreement is to provide for the apportionment of duties and costs between Contra Costa County and PG&E.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the agreement is not approved, construction of the Project will be halted, as the gas incidental items will obstruct the widening of Balfour Road.
