RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE an Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement between the County and the State of California, Department of Transportation (Caltrans), related to receiving federal funding for the construction of the Bailey Road and State Route 4 Interchange Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvement Project (Project), Bay Point; and an amendment to the Freeway Maintenance Agreement with Caltrans for the same project; and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to execute both amendments on behalf of the County. (District V) (Project 0662-6R4121)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Under the Amended Cooperative Agreement, the Road Fund will receive up to $3.38 million in Active Transportation Program (ATP) funding for the construction of the project. The amendment to the existing Freeway Maintenance Agreement only updates maintenance responsibilities of both parties in the interchange area. (100% Local Road Fund)

BACKGROUND:

In August of 2021, the County executed a Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans to receive federal funds for the Project. An ATP grant was awarded to the County for the preliminary engineering and construction phases of the project.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Remove the north-side loop off-ramp and pedestrian tunnel.
Improve the westbound off-ramp on the east side of Bailey Road to accommodate north and southbound traffic turning onto Bailey Road.
Change the south-side eastbound loop off-ramp to a fully signalized T-intersection at Bailey Road.
Eliminate acceleration lanes on Bailey Road to accommodate bicycle lanes and widened sidewalks.
Enhance existing pedestrian crossings at the BART Access Road and Canal Road intersections on Bailey Road.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve the amendment to the Cooperative Agreement would jeopardize the County’s ability to receive the total amount of ATP funds for the project. If the amendment to the Freeway Maintenance Agreement is not approved, the County will be unable to submit the final project invoice to Caltrans.
