SUBJECT: Right-of-Way Acquisition for Fowler Avenue from Elkhorn Avenue to South Avenue paved shoulder project - Federal Project No. CML 5942(211)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Accept the easement deed and authorize the Chairman to execute the right-of-way contract for the Fowler Avenue from Elkhorn Avenue to South Avenue paved shoulder project for a total monetary consideration of $23,300.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will authorize the purchase of additional right-of-way at a cost of $23,300 on Fowler Avenue (shown on attached Exhibit A).

The paved shoulders will improve air quality by decreasing the amount of airborne particulate matter disturbed by passing vehicles.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
The Board may reject the purchase of additional right-of-way. The rejection of the purchase will cause this project to be cancelled, since the purchase is necessary to construct the project. The cancellation of the project will require the County to refund to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) any money that was disbursed by the FHWA to the County for project costs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. A warrant will be drawn on the Road Fund 0010, made payable to the individual grantor listed below. This project is eligible for reimbursement under the Congestion Mitigation Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) program, Federal Project No. CML 5942(211).
