MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: June 17, 1986 SUBJECT: Request CTC to Include Highway 4 Widening Along Discovery Bay into the 1986 STIP Specific Requests or Recommendations & Background & Justification RECOMMENDATION Request the California Transportation Commission to include the Phase 3 widening of Highway 4 (4-CC-4 PM 45.3/PM 47 .5) fronting Discovery Bay Development into the 1986 STIP as a locally funded project and request Caltrans to continue to design and administer the project in accordance with their prior commitment to the project. FINANCIAL IMPACT None REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND The widening of State Highlay 4 from Discovery Bay to Byron Highway was required as a condition of approval of the Discovery Bay Development. An Area of Benefit was formed as the means to finance the construction. Since Highway 4 is a federal highway, Caltrans at that time agreed to fund the engineering costs. The first 2 phases of this 4 phase project are now completed. Phase 3 will widen the highway to Discovery Bay Boulevard and the final phase will bring the widening to the east boundary of the Discovery Bay Development. The estimated costs of these two projects are $930,000 and $600 ,000 respectively. We estimate that the Area of Benefit will accumulate $930,000 by late 1987. In order to advertise Phase 3 of the project in spring of 1988, Caltrans needs to start design work now. A Board Order committing the county to fund the construction of the project is required by Caltrans before (they can start the engineering work. We are negotiating with Caltrans regarding a new policy that Caltrans will no longer fund the engineering costs of locally funded projects. Since a prior commitment has been made, our request for Caltrans participation looks favorable. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION Project could not be constructed.
