Subject:DETERMINE that the Vasco Road Overlay project is a California Environmental Qualtiy Act Class 1C Categorical Exemption
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the project is to improve the pavement condition of Vasco Road by providing an asphalt concrete
overlay on Vasco Road between the Alameda County Line and Frisk Creek Bridge. The project will grind and
overlay Vasco Road between the Alameda County Line and Frisk Creek Bridge (7.4 miles). The project does not
include any pavement widening and all work will be contained within the existing road pavement. The project will
include base and pavement failure repairs in some locations requiring excavation of the existing road pavement to the
bottom of the existing base layer. The excavations will not exceed the bottom of the existing roadway base section
and therefore, native soil will not be disturbed. A consistent 0.2-foot-deep grinding of the existing roadway pavement
from edge of traveled way to edge of traveled way will be followed by installation of pavement reinforcement fabric
and a 0.2-foot-thick asphalt concrete overlay. The new pavement surface elevations will match the existing roadway
surface elevations. Traffic control devices such as thermoplastic striping, rumble strips, and delineators will be
applied in the center line and on both sides of the traveled way; the existing paved shoulders will be applied with fog
sealant. A construction staging area approximately 4,000 square feet in size has been identified approximately 0.6
mile north of the Alameda County line in a previously disturbed area, directly adjacent to the southbound lanes. At
least one lane in each direction will be maintained throughout construction. Emergency vehicle access will be
allowed at all times.
This project will not result in the removal of any scenic resource.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board of Supervisors' approval, the project will result in a delay of design and construction and may
jeopardize funding.
