RECOMMENDED ACTION:
TITLE
Accept the Easement Deed and authorize the Chairman to execute the Right-of-Way Contract and Grade Match for Driveway Modification required for Travers Creek Bridge Replacement, Highway Bridge Program - Off Federal-aid System (BRLS) Project No. 5942(198), on Manning Avenue for a total monetary consideration of $6,200.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will authorize the purchase of additional right-of-way required to replace the existing structurally deficient two-lane bridge on Manning Avenue at a cost of $6,200, as shown on Exhibit A. This item pertains to a location in District 4.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Your Board may reject the purchase of this right-of-way; however, 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 all funds received for the project will have to be returned to the Federal Highway Administration.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. A check will be issued from the Road Fund 0010, made payable to the individual grantor(s) listed below. This project is eligible for reimbursement under the Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP). The HBP program will provide 88.53% of funds for right-of-way acquisition for this project. The remaining 11.47% will be paid out of the Road Fund. Sufficient appropriations for this project are included in the Public Works and Planning - Roads Org 4510 FY 2017-18 Adopted Budget.
Listed below are the owners, mailing address, amount for this parcel, and the items purchased from the subject parcel:
• Parcel 5 (APN: 373-111-14) - Emily Y. Doss, and Dwight B. Goodner, 21303 E. Manning Avenue, Reedley, CA 93654 - $6,200. This payment is for a 0.101-acre road easement, asphalt, landscaping, and severance damages to the remainder, if any.
Of the total compensation authorized pursuant to the recommended action, all $6,200 is for permanent roadway easement.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed project would allow replacement of the existing structurally deficient two-lane Travers Creek Bridge on Manning Avenue with a new concrete bridge that meets current standards. The bridge, originally constructed in 1925 and widened in 1942, is approximately 33 feet long and 28 feet wide from curb to curb. The new bridge will be approximately 65 feet long and 77 feet wide from curb to curb to accommodate the future widening of Manning Avenue.
Construction is anticipated to commence in the spring of 2019.
