Subject:Approve Enchroachment Permit for Kirker Pass Road Overlay by City of Pittsburg, Project No. 0662-6R4003
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
striping and pavement markings, minor concrete median modification and crash cushion
grade adjustments, and adjustment of existing inlet grates to grade.
As part of the project work, temporary traffic control and warning signs will need to be
placed on adjacent roadways located within the City limits of Pittsburg. Normally, the
County would leave it to the general contractor to apply for and obtain roadway
encroachment permits covering the traffic control activities and signs in the adjacent
jurisdictions. However, in this case, as part of the Federal funding, Caltrans and the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have required that the County initially obtain
the roadway encroachment permit in its name and not delegate this solely to the general
contractor.
For the roadway encroachment permit applications, the above agency requires the
County to sign indemnification language that would generally require the County to
defend and indemnify the agency for any accidents or damages resulting from the traffic
control activities. Given the minor and temporary nature of the traffic control activities,
the indemnification requirements would involve relatively low risk to the County and, in
any event, would be covered by the general contractor’s liability insurance. In addition,
County staff plans to work with the above agency to replace the roadway encroachment
permit initially obtained by the County with those subsequently obtained by the County’s
general contractor for this project.
To meet the expected tight deadlines to construct this project, it is necessary for the
County to promptly obtain the roadway encroachment permit prior to approval of the
Federal funds. The roadway encroachment permit is an essential part of the County’s
project submittal package to Caltrans. Under the circumstances, the Public Works
Director recommends that the Board authorize staff to execute roadway encroachment
permit issued by the above agency and arrange for any necessary payment of permit,
inspection, and related fees in accordance with the permits.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without this permit, Federal funding will be in jeopardy.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
