RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the conveyance of a Grant of Easement for sewer purposes, over a portion of Assessor’s Parcel Number 125-010-003, from Contra Costa County (County) to Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (Central San), in connection with the Buchanan Field Terminal Replacement Project (Project) and pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.6. (Project No.: 4855-WO5304)(CP#19-45)


DETERMINE that the conveyance of said easement is in the public interest and will not substantially conflict or interfere with the County’s use of the property.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors to execute the Grant of Easement to Central San on behalf of the County.

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to deliver a certified copy of this Board Order with the Grant of Easement to Central San for acceptance and recording in the office of the County-Clerk Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

68% Federal Aviation Authority, 3% Caltrans, 29% Airport Enterprise Funds

BACKGROUND:

The Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan, adopted by the Board of Supervisors (Board) on October 28, 2008, identifies a new general aviation terminal (Terminal) on the capital improvement list. The Terminal will replace the existing terminal building at 181 John Glenn Drive in Concord. The Terminal includes space for the Public Works-Airports Division administrative staff, Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) staff/equipment, public terminal space to support scheduled/unscheduled air service providers, office space for aviation businesses, and general public meeting space at the Buchanan Field.

On April 28, 2020, the Board authorized Airport staff to submit both FAA and Caltrans grants to fund the construction of the ARFF and general aviation components of the Terminal.

On February 2, 2021, the Board approved the project design and authorized Airport staff to advertise the Project.

On April 27, 2021, a contract was awarded to W.E. Lyons Construction Co. (Contractor) with construction of the Terminal to begin in July 2021.

Prior to construction of the Terminal, a portion of Central San’s sewer pipe will need to be relocated, resulting in the need for the easement to Central San that is the subject of this board order. The existing sewer pipe is currently located under where the new Terminal will be constructed. After the sewer pipe is relocated into the new easement area, Central San will quitclaim a portion of the existing easement that is no longer needed to the County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to grant an easement to Central San would cause the Airport’s contractor to be unable to obtain the necessary permit from Central San, as the Airport would not be able to construct the Terminal over the existing sewer pipe and easement area. It would also prevent the Terminal from having sewer services.
