RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to deliver a certified copy of this Board Order with the Easement Deed to PG&E for acceptance and recording in the office of the County Recorder.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Contra Costa Transportation Authority Funds.
BACKGROUND:
In 1998, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) and the County entered into an agreement for the County to provide right of way services for the State Route 4 - West Gap Project (Project). The terms of the agreement included the County initially taking title for various property rights for the Project and to transfer those rights to the appropriate agencies at a later date.
Pursuant to the Utility Agreement between the State and PG&E, it was determined that in order to construct the Project, PG&E’s existing facilities needed to be removed and relocated. This work has been completed and Real Estate staff has been directed by CCTA staff to transfer to PG&E the easement described in Exhibit "A", attached, for the area necessary for their relocated facilities
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board elect to not convey the Easement Deed, PG&E will not have rights to its facilities that were agreed upon in the Utility Agreement.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
