SUBJECT: Right-of-Way Acquisition for ATP - Riverdale Pedestrian
Path Project - Federal Project No. ATPL-5942(256)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Accept the easement deeds and authorize the Chairman to execute the right-of-way contracts and temporary construction permits required for the ATP - Riverdale Pedestrian Path Project for a total monetary consideration of $5,400.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will authorize the purchase of additional right-of-way and temporary construction permits required to install pedestrian sidewalks and curb ramps (shown on Exhibit A, attached).
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
The Board may reject the purchase of this right-of-way. This would prevent the County from obtaining the necessary right-of-way to proceed with the project. If the necessary right-of-way is not acquired, the project will be cancelled and funding previously received for the project would have to be returned.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. A warrant or check will be drawn on the Road Fund 0010, made payable to the individual grantors listed below. This project is eligible for reimbursement under the Active Transport Project (ATP). The ATP will provide up to 100 percent of the funding required for the right-of-way purchase. Sufficient appropriations for this project are included in the FY 2016-17 Public Works and Planning - Roads Org 4510 Adopted Budget.
