RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to execute, on behalf of the County, the Real Property Services Agreement with the City of Richmond to provide right of way services to the City for the City’s Central Avenue at Interstate 80 Local Road Improvement Project, for payment of County costs to provide services in an amount not to exceed $50,000, Richmond area. (District I)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% City of Richmond funds.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Richmond (“City”), in Contra Costa County, is proceeding with its Central Avenue at I-80 Local Road Improvement Project (“Project”). To complete the Project, the City needs to acquire certain interests in real property. The City requires a variety of right-of-way services, but has no right of way staff and desires to contract with the County for these services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under the Real Property Services Agreement (Agreement), Public Works Department Real Estate staff will perform various right-of-way services, including but not limited to right of way appraisal and appraisal review; negotiations; land rights document preparation; right of way acquisition; right of way project management; title and escrow support; right of way certification; supervision of independent contractors providing such services and any related work as required. The City will pay the County for those services based on the County’s labor costs, up to the payment limit of the Agreement. If the payment limit is reached and/or additional services are necessary, the parties would need to amend the Agreement. The Agreement includes a mutual indemnification provision. Each party will be required to indemnify the other party for any claims that arise from the indemnifying party’s acts, errors, or omissions in the performance of that party’s obligations under the Agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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