FROM: J . MICHAEL WALFORD , PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: JULY 7 , 1987
SUBJECT: Brentwood Bypass Highway 4 Realignment Project W05564 ,
Specific Request ( s ) or Recommendation ( s ) & Background &
Justification
I . RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize chair to execute a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU ) between Caltrans and the County . The MOU is
to outline the process for the County to perform the design work
on the State Route 4 , Brentwood downtown by- pass project .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT
None . Project is 100 percent funded by Caltrans .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
State Route 4 is an existing highway traversing Contra Costa
County . Within Brentwood , it passes through the downtown area
and involves two 90 degree turns . The proposed realignment would
move truck and auto traffic away from downtown and improve
turning conditions , thereby reducing congestion and improving
safety. The estimated total project cost is $2 , 300 ,000 , and is
totally funded by Caltrans and the Federal Highway
Administration .
Since Caltrans , because of staff shortage , cannot meet the design
schedule to design and advertise the project for Spring 1988
construction date , the County was asked to administer the design
and right of way acquisition . Caltrans has agreed to reimburse
the County for all County' s costs . The County, thru a lengthy
selection process , selected Bissell & Karn to do all design and
utility coordination work for the County an& be compl eted by
November 1 , 1987 .
