RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator to execute the Letter Agreement between the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Contra Costa County for additional Pavement Management and Technical Assistance Program services, in an amount not to exceed $63,350 for the term September 12, 2017 to April 30, 2018, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This letter agreement is to fund additional Pavement Management and Technical Assistance Program services totaling $63,350 and will be fully funded by local road funds.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County has been selected by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to receive Pavement Technical Assistance Program (P-TAP) funding for pavement distress inspections of unincorporated County roads. Funding for the project will be $100,000, and will inspect 333 miles of roads within unincorporated County. On March 14, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved the payment of $20,000 to cover the local match of the $100,000 grant.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In order to complete pavement distress inspections for a remaining 232 miles of roads within the County, this funding letter agreement between the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the County is necessary to fund the additional $63,350 in services. The services will be provided through a contract that MTC has with Harris & Associates.

The letter agreement obligates the County to indemnify MTC for claims arising out of the project based on County's negligence or willful misconduct.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Additional Pavement Management and Technical Assistance Program services to inspect and survey 232 miles of roads countywide will not be completed and the County's pavement management program data will not be updated.
