ATTESTED: March 12, 2013 David Twa, BY:Stacey M. Boyd , Deputy RECOMMENDATION(S): APPROVE the San Pablo Avenue Bridge Replacement at Rodeo Creek; and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the project [DCD-CP#10-73], Project No.: 0662-6R4005; and RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D) FIND on the basis of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH # 2013012044) and all comments and responses therein, that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment; and ADOPT the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Plan in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the custodian of which is the Department of Conservation and Development Director who is located 30 Muir Road, Martinez; and DIRECT the Director of the Department of Conservation and Development to file a Notice of Determination with the County Clerk; and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to arrange for payment of a $25.00 fee to Department of Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50.00 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Determination, and $2,156.25 for California Department of Fish and Wildlife fees. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated project cost is $2,800,000 funded by the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program Federal Highway Bridge Program funds (BRLS) 88.53% and Local Road Funds 11.47%. BACKGROUND: The purpose of the proposed project is to replace the existing bridge over Rodeo Creek with a new bridge structure. The bridge has a Caltrans Sufficiency Rating of 25.9 and is thus eligible for HBRRP funds (Sufficiency Rating less than 50). The replacement bridge will be a single span-structure that crosses Rodeo Creek. Abutments will be constructed of reinforced cast-in-place concrete supported by piles, and will be set behind the existing abutments, which act as channel walls for Rodeo Creek. Work in the creek will be conducted during the dry season (April 15 – October 15) and consists of removing the existing bridge bent, and installing and removing water diversion, and demolition debris catchment systems. The concrete pile cap below the columns and underlying timber piles are below the existing mud line and will remain in place. The bridge will have a similar footprint and alignment to the existing bridge and will conform to San Pablo Avenue. Utility relocation will be necessary and includes, but is not limited to, a sewer force main relocation that may occur one year prior to bridge replacement. The sewer force main will be relocated by Rodeo Sanitary District. The new abutments will consist of concrete caps placed on 14-18 piles. The piles will be either 36-inch or 48-inch diameter concrete cast-in-steel shell or cast-in-drilled-hole piles. Cast-in-steel shell piles would require pile driving. Staging and laydown will occur on existing paved or disturbed surfaces within the right-of-way or on construction easements. Access to the creek by construction personnel will be by foot and via the scaffolding of the demolition debris catchment system. The Project section of San Pablo Avenue will be closed and traffic detoured for the duration of the bridge replacement. Through traffic on San Pablo Avenue/Parker Avenue will be detoured onto Railroad Avenue and First Street. Sewer force main relocation done in advance of the Project will not require a full detour. The bridge replacement is expected to begin during the 2014 dry season with an estimated 135 working days (7 months) to completion. Relocation of the sewer force main will either be done during the 2013 dry season as a free standing pipe or occur in two phases with a temporary move in early 2014 (prior to the bridge replacement) and the permanent line constructed with the bridge replacement work in 2014. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Delay in approving the project will jeopardize funding and delay design and construction. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
