RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to issue payment in the amount of $258,753, to East Contra Costa Irrigation District (ECCID), for the facilities relocation for the Balfour Road Shoulder Widening Project, Brentwood area. Project No. 0662-6R4002

FISCAL IMPACT:

The construction project and the associated fee will be funded by Discovery Bay West Traffic Mitigation Fees.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Public Works Department (CCCPWD) plans to widen Balfour Road between Sellers Avenue (Brentwood) and Bixler Road (Discovery Bay) in eastern Contra Costa County. The project, Balfour Road Shoulder Widening, consists of widening the existing 18- to 20-foot pavement width to 36 feet wide (two 12-foot wide travel lanes with two 6-foot wide paved shoulders/bike lanes and 2-foot wide shoulder backing on each side).

The construction of this project requires purchasing right of way to accommodate the pavement widening, drainage infrastructure and fill/cut slopes. In addition, joint pole and underground service laterals will be relocated to accommodate the proposed improvements.

ECCID services the area and has facilities within the project area limits. The Utility Franchise Agreement does not apply to the ECCID facilities as they had prior rights. Conflicts with the proposed drainage improvements for the Balfour Shoulder Widening Project were identified and ECCID performed the relocation work with their winter maintenance upgrade project work.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

ECCID will not be paid for work performed.
