RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a memorandum of understanding between Contra Costa County and the Town of Danville for the Camino Tassajara SAFETEA-LU Improvements Phase II Project, Danville area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Local Road Funds

BACKGROUND:

The Town of Danville (Town) is conducting the Camino Tassajara SAFETEA-LU Improvement Phase II Project (Project). The project will repair and improve westbound lanes of Camino Tassajara between Sycamore Valley Road and the eastern Town limits. The project includes pavement rehabilitation, roadway base repair, replacement of striping, utility cover adjustments, removal of wireless vehicle detectors and installation of loop detectors.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Camino Tassajara is a principal arterial under the jurisdiction of both the Town of Danville and Contra Costa County (County). The County and Town boundary line straddles the roadway along a portion of Camino Tassajara approximately between Blackhawk Plaza Circle and Mansfield Drive. Both the County and Town share responsibility of the roadway within this segment. A portion of the Town’s Project lies within a segment of shared responsibility.

The Town has awarded the Project to a contractor, MCK Services, Inc., and construction is expected to begin on the Project in August 2016. The Town intends to add the County’s portion of work to the project through a contract change order and has prepared a memorandum of understanding to outline the responsibility of each agency in respect to the Project. The agreement allows for deferred reimbursement by the County within the current fiscal year, in order for the County to adequately assess available funds for the Project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action would result in roadway improvements not being made within the County.
