May 4, 1998 Page 2 Ili. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: Caltrans is replacing the 1929 Span of the Carquinez Bridge as a part of Regional Measure One (RMI). The new span will be constructed westerly of the existing 1929 span. When the State built the adjacent 1959 Span it entered into an agreement with the County dated September 27,1955. The Bridge Relocation Project will require the relocation of the existing on and off ramps for the community of Crockett as well as modifications of local streets. This requires the modification of the original freeway agreement to allow Caltrans to work within County rights of way to accomplish the Project. The County will agree to assume maintenance of the improvements constructed on the local roads when the project is complete. Caltrans, when it made the decision to immediately replace the 1929 span rather than retrofit it for seismic integrity, embarked on an environmental process that has involved significant community involvement. This process resulted in the replacement of the Crockett Interchange; upgrade of the Wanda Way access; establishment of a community based liaison and information office; and construction of the Cummings Skyway extension, as well as the identification of numerous other mitigation measures that will occur with the Bridge construction. If. Financlai trnnact: All costs for the construction of the Bridge Relocation Project are from regional Measure One which is bridge toll based. The cost of the Cummings Skyway Extension is split between County and RM1 with the County's share derived from development mitigation. IV. Consequences of Necgative Action: Non-approval of the freeway agreement will delay construction of the Bridge Replacement Project and will jeopardize the award of the Cummings Skyway Extension Project. ......... ......... ......... .__ ...... ...._...... ......... ......... ......... ......... ......... _ .... ......... ......... .............. .. ....................................................... 04-CC-80-KP 18.2(PINI 11.3)to KP 22.7 (PM 14.1) In the County of Contra Costa Between California Street and the Contra Costa-Solano County Line.
