RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute, on behalf of Contra Costa County (County), the Real Property Services Agreement (Agreement) with the City of Dixon (City), to provide right of way services to the City for the City’s Parkway Boulevard Grade Separation Project, for payment of the County’s costs to provide the services in an amount not to exceed $25,000. (Project No.: 4580-6X5892)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% City of Dixon Funds

BACKGROUND:

The City is planning to proceed with its Parkway Boulevard Grade Separation Project (Project) in Solano County. 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 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 experts and contractors providing such services; condemnation support; 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. The Agreement, including the rate schedule, is attached.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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