Project No.: 0662-6R4242-94 and 0662-6R4239-94
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to execute the Consulting Services
Agreement with Vali Cooper and Associates to provide project management, assistant resident
engineer services and contract administration for the Byron Highway Bridge Rehabilitation
Project.
II. Financiallmpact:
The estimated contract cost is $85,000 funded by State of California Department of Water
Resources (32%), HBRR (60%) and road funds (8%).
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The rehabilitation of the Byron Highway Bridge over the California Aqueduct in the Byron area
has previously been approved. This rehabilitation will consist of both a reconstruction of the
bridge deck with a polyester concrete and a seismic retrofit of the superstructure. Due to the high
daily volume of traffic on Byron Highway, the construction will be done on a 24 hour a day basis
until completion. Consequently, due to the specialized nature of work involved and the staffing
requirements to accommodate the project schedule, it is recommended that a construction
management company be contracted to oversee this project.
Contra Costa County is currently in a "Cooperative Agreement with the State of California
Department of Water Resources" (DWR) to design and oversee the renovation of the Byron
Highway Bridge deck and rails and seismic retrofitting of the bridge.

August 8, 1995
The services of a consultant are needed to provide project management, resident engineer
services, contract administration and materials testing for the Byron Highway Bridge Renovation
project. Vali Cooper and Associates was selected from a group of several firms solicited to
provide these services.
Vali Cooper and Associates is a Women Business Enterprise and meets the County's Women
Business Enterprise goals.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Due to the County's lack of experience in the area of seismic retrofit and polyester concrete
overlay, rejection of the Consultant Service Agreement with Vali Cooper may result in the
acceptance of an inferior project.
