RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Right of Way Contract (Contract) and ACCEPT a Grant of Perpetual Maintenance Easement (Easement) dated April 27, 2018, on a portion of property located at 425 Castle Rock Road, Walnut Creek and identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 139-090-001, from Mt. Diablo Unified School District (District), in connection with the Pedestrian Crossing Enhancement Project (Project), pursuant to Government Code Section 25350, in the Walnut Creek area. (Project No.: 0662-6R4112 [CP #14-36])


APPROVE payment of $2,000 for said property rights and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to issue a check in said amount, payable to Mount Diablo Unified School District, 1936 Carlotta Drive, Concord, CA 94519 to be forwarded to the Real Estate Division for delivery.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to have the above referenced Easement recorded in the office of the County Clerk-Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

28% Transportation Development Act Grant, 72% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The County intends to construct the Project in order to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility, as well as increase driver awareness at existing crosswalks in East and Central Contra Costa County.

This Contract and Easements are required to allow Contra Costa County (County) to work within approximately 800 feet of property owned by the District as a work space during the Project and in order to maintain County-owned facilities in the future. As a condition of the Contract, the District has requested indemnification from the County. The indemnification language has been reviewed by County Counsel.

On February 10, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved the Project and determined the Project is exempt from CEQA (CP #14-36).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Public Works Department will not have sufficient access rights to allow construction in accordance with approved plans and specifications.
