RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Jersey Island Road Bridge Repair Project and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the project, Oakley area, Project No. 0662-6U4134 (District III).

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Local Road Funds

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this project is to conduct repairs to an existing bridge over Dutch Slough. The project consists of replacing deteriorated and missing portions of the longitudinal and transverse timber cross bracing members and cleaning and painting existing steel piers. These maintenance activities are needed to ensure continued effective operation of this road facility.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

These activities are covered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife under a Routine Maintenance Agreement (RMA) under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. CEQA was previously approved for all actions under the RMA and a Notice of Exemption (NOE) was posted on March 1, 2011. The activities covered under the RMA consist of routine maintenance activities that pose minimal threat to water quality and beneficial uses of the creeks within the County when appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) are implemented. Project specific BMP’s will be implemented, including timing the activities to avoid impacts and fueling and maintaining equipment outside of the stream zone.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in authorizing advertisement will result in significant delay of construction up to a full year and causing further deterioration to the bridge and additional repair costs.
