RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute an agreement with the City of Orinda to provide right of way services to the City in exchange for payment of the County’s actual costs, from March 16, 2017, until the agreement is terminated by either party, as recommended by the Public Works Director. (Project No. 4580-6X5890)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% City of Orinda funding.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Orinda requires a variety of right of way services for various City projects. The City has no right of way staff and desires to contract with the County to obtain right of way services from the Public Works Department, Real Estate Services Division.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under a real property services agreement between the County and the City, Real Estate Division staff will perform, on behalf of the City, various right-of-way services, including but not limited to appraisal and appraisal review, negotiations, relocation; land rights document preparation and right of way acquisition, supervision of independent contractors providing such services, and any related work as required. The City will reimburse the County for its actual costs to perform those services, including staff time at the current fully-loaded hourly rates, from March 16, 2017, through the date the agreement is terminated by either party on 30 days’ notice to the other party. Under the agreement, each party will indemnify the other party for claims that arise from the indemnifying party’s negligence or willful misconduct.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The City will not be able to contract for the County’s right of way services.
