III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION AND BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department planned to apply a double chip seal surface treatment
to various roads throughout the County during the summer of 2001. Two of the roads
scheduled for treatment; Marsh Creek Road and Walnut Avenue, have relatively high
traffic volumes. To promote public and worker safety during the chip seal application
process, the Department negotiated an agreement with the Contra Costa Area Office
of the California Highway Patrol on June 11, 2001, for State furnished patrol services
to enhance traffic control on the project site. The agreement was subsequently
formalized with a short form contract executed by the County on June 25, 2001, and
forwarded to the Department of California Highway Patrol for execution.
Subsequently, the Headquarters Office of the California Highway Patrol determined
that the execution of a State of California Traffic Enforcement Agreement would be
necessary rather than the short form contract furnished by the County. The Traffic
Enforcement Agreement presented by the Department of California..Highway Patrol
has been reviewed and approved as to form by County Counsel.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The local office of the California Highway Patrol provided enhanced traffic enforcement
services to the County in accordance with the understanding outlined in the short form
contract. Without a fully executed agreement, the Public Works Department will be
unable to pay for the California Highway Patrol services. It is important to maintain a
good working relationship with the California Highway Patrol.
