SUBJECT: Right of Way Transfer Agreement with California High Speed Rail Authority for Construction Package 2-3
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Right-of-Way Transfer Agreement with the California High Speed Rail Authority for the transfer of right-of-way as required for Construction Package 2-3 of the High Speed Rail Project ($0); and
2. Authorize the Director of the Department of Public Works and Planning, or designee, to accept and approve in writing, on behalf of the County, minor changes to Exhibit A of the Right-of-Way Transfer Agreement for Construction Package 2-3 of the High Speed Rail Project to reflect final transfers.

The changes would be as necessary to reflect the final transfers of right-of-way, consistent with anticipated minor changes to the final design, as it develops over the course of the design-build High Speed Rail Project. This item pertains to locations in Districts 1 and 4.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(s):
If your Board determines the Right-of-Way Transfer Agreement should not be approved, performance of the parties' obligations under the existing Cooperative Agreement No. 13-767/HSR 13-54 with the HSRA will be delayed as to that portion of Construction Package 2-3 (CP 2-3) within the County's jurisdiction.
