RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the conveyance of a Grant of Easement to Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a California corporation (PG&E), and a Grant of Easement to Pacific Bell Telephone Company, a California corporation dba AT&T California (AT&T), pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.6 and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute said Easements on behalf of Contra Costa County (County).


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

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Grant of Easements to be delivered to PG&E and AT&T for recording in the office of the County Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Contra Costa Transportation Authority Funds.

BACKGROUND:

In 1998 the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) and the County entered into an Agreement for the County to provide right of way services for the State Route 4 West Gap Project (Project). The terms of the Agreement included the County initially taking title for various property rights for the Project, and to transfer those rights to the appropriate agencies at a later date.

Pursuant to the Utility Agreement between the State and PG&E and AT&T it was determined that in order to construct the Project, existing facilities needed to be removed and relocated. This work has been completed and Real Property staff has been directed by CCTA staff to convey to PG&E and AT&T the easements for the area necessary for their relocated facilities.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

PG&E and AT&T will not have rights to its facilities that were agreed upon in the Utility Agreement.
