ATTESTED: July 7, 2015 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Stacey M. Boyd, Deputy cc: C. 7 To:Board of Supervisors From:Julia R. Bueren, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer Date:July 7, 2015 Contra Costa County Subject:Reimbursement Agreement with East Bay Municipal Utility District for the Orwood Road Bridge Replacement Project, Brentwood area. BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) has granted the County permanent and temporary easements for Project improvements and construction activities. EBMUD has also issued an encroachment permit to the County’s bridge contractor, Flatiron West, Inc., for project within EBMUD-owned property. Due to the proximity of the Project to the EBMUD Mokelumne Aqueduct, EBMUD will need to monitor Project construction, to ensure that its critical water delivery facilities are protected throughout the construction of the Project. This Agreement is intended to provide fair and reasonable reimbursement to EBMUD for expenses it incurs to monitor the construction of the Project. The encroachment permit issued to Flatiron West, Inc. on June 11, 2015, is also contingent upon approval of this agreement and would be revoked prior to completion of project if the agreement is not approved by this Board prior to July 24, 2015. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The County will not be able to reimburse EBMUD for their costs to monitor the construction of the project resulting in EBMUD stopping construction of the portion of the project within their property. Project could not then be completed as designed. ATTACHMENTS Draft Agreement
