III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND. (Cont.)
On January 9, 1990, the Board of Supervisors authorized the execution of an agreement with
the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) to allow EBRPD to design and administer the
construction of the Iron Horse Trail between Stone Valley Road and Ridgewood Drive in the
Alamo area. The Agreement provided that the County would make available to EBRPD. a
maximum of $67,000 in grant funds for the purpose of developing a!�portion of the Iron Horse
Trail between Ridgewood Drive and Stone Valley Road.
The EBRPD recently opened bids for the construction of this section. f The low bid was $20,525,
leaving $46,475 available for further trail development. The EBRPD has requested that the
County extend the scope of the agreement north to the Danville Boulevard/Rudgear Road
intersection. Any additional costs above the TDA grant of $67,000 will be the responsibility of
the EBRPD.
The City-County Engineering Advisory Committee approved the extension of the project limits
at their June 1., 1990 meeting.
The Transportation Committee approved this request at their September 17, 1990 meeting.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Should the Board not approve this agreement,the project construction would be delayed by one
year. .
