APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with ANKA Behavioral
Health, Inc. (ANKA) in an amount not to exceed $153,825 for weed abatement in the Iron Horse Corridor for the
period of April 1, 2015 through August 1, 2017, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, Alamo, Danville and San
Ramon areas. (Districts 2 and 4)
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Iron Horse Corridor Trust Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Iron Horse Corridor (IHC), formerly known as the Southern Pacific right of way, is 18.5 miles long traversing
north-south in Central Contra Costa County. The northern terminus is Mayette Avenue in Concord and the southern
terminus is the Alameda County line in San Ramon. The corridor varies in width from 30 to 100 feet and currently has
a 10-foot wide, paved multi-use trail managed by the East Bay Regional Park District. The County Public Works
Department has overall management responsibility of the IHC and performs the majority of maintenance.
The Public Works Department contracted with ANKA the last three years to perform weed abatement in order to
meet the Fire District’s June 1st deadline for completion of mowing. The Public Works Department’s Maintenance
Division continues to mow the rest of unincorporated County. This arrangement has allowed more resources to be
allocated to other County unincorporated areas to meet the mowing deadline. Public Works Department
