SUBJECT: Right-of-Way Acquisition for Travers Creek Bridge Replacement Project on Parlier Avenue - Federal Project No. BRLO-5942(227)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Accept the Easement Deed and authorize the Chairman to execute the Right-of-Way Contract to facilitate the Travers Creek Bridge Replacement, Federal Project No. BRLO-5942(227) on Parlier Avenue for a total monetary consideration of $8,700.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will authorize the purchase of additional right-of-way required to facilitate the construction of the Travers Creek Bridge Replacement Project on Parlier Avenue, as shown on Exhibit A. This item pertains to a location in District 4.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
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 would have to be returned to the Federal Highway Administration.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. This project is eligible for 100% reimbursement under the Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) along with toll credits, which are allocated to local agencies by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to be used in lieu of matching funds the agency would otherwise have to pay on Federally-funded transportation projects. A check will be issued from the Road Fund 010, made payable to the individual grantor listed below. Sufficient appropriations for this project are included in the Department of Public Works and Planning - Roads Org 4510 FY 2018-19 Recommended Budget.
Listed below is the owner, mailing address, amount for this parcel, and the basis of the compensation associated with the parcel:
• Parcel 4 (APN 373-350-07) - Robert S. Wiebe, II, 21485 E. Parlier Avenue, Reedley, CA 93654 - $8,700. This payment is for a 0.046-acre bridge easement, 2,004 square feet of crushed granite, three eucalyptus trees, and severance damages to the remainder, if any.
Of the total compensation authorized pursuant to the recommended action, all $8,700 is for a permanent bridge easement.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed project consists of replacing the Travers Creek Bridge at Parlier Avenue, 0.2 miles east of Englehart Avenue. The existing functionally obsolete two-lane concrete slab bridge, originally constructed in 1925 and widened in 1942, is approximately 33 feet long and 28 feet wide from curb to curb, will be replaced with an approximately 65 feet long and 77 feet wide from curb to curb a two-lane concrete box culvert with approach railing to accommodate the future widening of Manning Avenue.
Construction is anticipated to commence in the spring of 2019.
