FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. No General Funds are involved. The Redevelopment Agency has
identified the source of the required funds contemplated by these actions. The
Agency is using a combination of budgeted funds and funds from an issuance of
Agency Tax Allocation Bonds expected to be completed later this summer. The
underlying financing plan maximizes the ability of the County, the Redevelopment
Agency, and the City of Pinole to undertake the project in the near term. The
County is responsible for approximately $4.3 million (53%) of the total Phase 2
roadway reconstruction project cost to completion and the Redevelopment
Agency is responsible for approximately $3.8 million (47%) of the total Phase 2
project cost to completion, for a total Phase 2 project cost to completion of
approximately $8 million.1
The underlying plan of finance contemplates that the Agency would loan the City
of Pinole $300,000 for sewer force main relocation costs, and advance to the
County approximately $2.5 million for a portion of its share of the project, which
advance would be returned to the Agency from road improvement fees and other
available road/street revenues (i.e., Measure C, Unocal and Road Funds). The
total cost of the project is $13.3 million, of which $5.2 million has already been
expended for preliminary and design engineering, Lefty Gomez Park parking lot
improvements, and Phase I Parker Avenue utility undergrounding work. A cost
summary is included as Attachment A.
BACKGROUND:
1. Scope
The Parker Avenue Reconstruction Project in Rodeo was initially approved by the
Board of Supervisors/Redevelopment Agency on December 5, 2000. The project
has two major phases, a) Utility undergrounding; and b) Roadway reconstruction
including streetscape improvements. The project extends along Parker Avenue
for eight blocks from Seventh Street to California Street, through downtown
Rodeo. Phase 1, the utility undergrounding phase, is currently 95% complete.
The final work on this phase of the project, removing existing power poles and
reconnecting utility services to the new underground system, will be completed
during phase 2, the roadway reconstruction phase of the project. Major
improvements in phase 2 include reconstruction of the four-lane commercial
thoroughfare into a two-lane pedestrian-oriented boulevard with landscaped
median islands, curb (bulb-outs and curbside parking, and new street lighting,
furniture and trees. Completion of the roadway reconstruction project will create
a visually prominent, tree-lined boulevard uniting downtown Rodeo, the
waterfront, and the surrounding community. The project, when it is completed,
will represent a substantial improvement to the physical conditions of downtown
Rodeo. The adopted Rodeo Redevelopment Plan (July 10, 1990 Ordinance 90-
501) and the more recently adopted Implementation Plan (January 17, 2006) for
the Agency identified the Parker Avenue Improvements as a key element in
addressing blight in Rodeo. Reconstruction and streetscape improvements along
Parker Avenue was also identified as a key element for revitalizing downtown
Rodeo in the Rodeo DowntownMaterfront Specific Plan adopted by the Board of
Supervisors on August 12, 1997.
2. History
The basis for this project is driven by the blighting conditions along Parker Avenue
in the is
Redevelopment Project Area, including inadequate infrastructure
and public improvements , and an overall appearance of neglect. Parker Avenue
will be reconstructed to incorporate and finalize the streetscape enhancements
specified in the 1997 Rodeo Specific Plan, the Rodeo Redevelopment Plan and
the Agency's Implementation Plan.
On October 24, 2000, the Board of Supervisors and Redevelopment Agency
approved a ProjectAgreement and Work Program for the project in the amount
$1.3 million. On December 5, 2000, the Public Works Department presented
revised cost estimates for the project, and the Board approved an amended
Project Agreement and Work Program in the amount of $1.5 million. On January
28, 2003, the Board found that there was no substantial evidence the project
would have a significant effect on the environment based on the Parker Avenue
Reconstruction and Undergrounding Project Mitigated Negative Declaration initial
study and comments received, and therefore adopted the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Mitigated Monitoring Program in compliance with CEQA. The
Board also approved the project and authorized the Public Works Director to
publicly advertise the project at this time.
The utility underground ing phase (Phase 1) of the project was initiated in the spring
of 2004, and the pre-roadway reconstruction component of this phase was
completed in the spring of 2005. Lastly, on January 27, 2004, the Redevelopment
Agency and Public Works amended the Project Agreement to include
reconstruction of the Lefty Gomez parking lot. This amendment did not increase
the amount of the Redevelopment Agency's financial obligation ($1.5 million) for
the overall project under the agreement at that time. This component of the
project was completed in the winter of 2006.
3. Recent Events
The Parker Avenue improvements from the outset were expected to be a
complicated undertaking, given the age of the underlying improvements and
facilities. The level ofl complication has far exceeded even the expectation. The
Public Works Department staff has been creative and tenacious in identifying
reasonable solutions to new issues as they arose, including additional storm
drainage work, traffic signal work, water and electrical connections, and landscape
maintenance considerations. Some of these complications have resulted in a
requirement for the County to cancel the previous bidding period and
subsequently re-advertise the project at a later date, resulting in project cost
increases. In addition, there has been a significant increase in the cost of
essential materials as Ithe project has proceeded through final design.
After successfully sorting through these complications, the County Public Works
Department re-advertised the roadway reconstruction phase of the project on
February 14, 2006, a'd opened bids for the project on March 28, 2006. With the
actions recommended herein, the Public Works Department will be able to
recommend an award of a contract for construction. The roadway reconstruction
phase of the project is anticipated to start in July or August, 2006.
An additional complication unrelated to County owned facilities was a
determination that a sewer force main serving the cities of Pinole and Hercules
would have to be relocated under Parker Avenue between Seventh and Third
Streets, and under San Pablo Avenue between Railroad and California Streets.
The sewer service in Pinole and Hercules is operated by a Joint Powers Agency
(JPA) comprised of t I e two cities. Their treated wastewater is pumped through a
sewer force main along Parker, Railroad, and San Pablo Avenues through Rodeo
to the Rodeo Sanitary District Treatment Facility. As a condition of the
encroachment permi issued by the County, the JPA must relocate its facilities at
its own costs. The total cost of the sewer line relocation is approximately $2
million, which is bein shared between the two cities. Hercules has indicated they
can provide their share as required. The City of Pinole has indicated that their
current rates do not allow them to fully fund 100% of their obligation, and have
requested that the County Redevelopment Agency loan the City $300,000 to
permit the project to proceed immediately. The recommended actions to approve
a Public Facilities and Loan Agreement with the City of Pinole accomplished the
desired loan of $300000. The City would agree to repay the loan over a five year
term, with an interest, rate fixed at the time of origination based on 5-year Treasury
Bill rates (currently 4.75%). The City would repay the loan from dedicated sewer
service fees collected by the City. The loan is an unsecured loan to be repaid
solely from available sewer service fees. Staff has reviewed the City's ability to
repay the loan in view of other obligations the City has, and it is comfortable that
the City will have the capacity to repay the loan.
4. Elements of the Board/Agency Action:
County/Redevelopment Agency Project Agreement and Work Program
Staff recommends that the Board and Agency approve the "Amended and
Restated Parker Avenue Reconstruction Project Agreement and Work Program
by Resolution. These actions will allow for Contra Costa County to complete
construction improvements to Parker Avenue within the Rodeo Redevelopment
Project Area. This amended agreement will accomplish two purposes: 1) allow
the Agency to provide additional funds in the amount of $2.3 million towards
completion of the project; and 2) allow the Agency to provide Public Works an
additional "advance" of $2.5 million to be utilized towards completion of the
project. The County will ultimately be responsible for approximately 53% of the
Phase 2 roadway reconstruction project cost to completion, with the Agency
responsible for approximately 47%. The funding source for the County's share of
the Phase 2 project costs will be a combination of Measure C, Unocal and Road
Funds. The total project cost to completion (Phases 1 and 2) is now estimated at
$13.3 million.
City of Pinole/Agency Agreement
Staff recommends t, at the Board of Supervisors consents to, and the
Redevelopment Agency approves the Public Facilities and Loan Agreement
between the City of Pinole and the Agency. These actions will allow for the
Agency to provide the City of Pinole with a loan in the amount of $300,000 as a
partial source of funds for completion of the relocation of the sewer force main
underlying Parker Avenue.
5. Legal Context
The Resolution before the Board/Agency makes a variety of Findings &
Determinations. The purpose of this section is to briefly summarize these actions.
First, Section 33445 of the Community Redevelopment Law authorizes an Agency
to pay for public improvements, subject to legislative findings. These findings are
made by both the Board of Supervisors and the Redevelopment Agency, and
includes findings that
■ The improvements are of benefit to the project area;
■ No other reasonable means of financing the improvements are
available; and
■ the improvements will eliminate blight in the project area.
The preceding material documents that these findings are appropriate. With
respect to the Pinole Loan Agreement portion of the project, the City of Pinole
made these findings i� approving the loan agreement on March 7, 2006.
Second, the Board of Supervisors, as the legislative body for the County, must
consent to the Redevelopment Agency paying its part of the costs of the Parker
Avenue improvements.
Third, with respect to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance,
both the Board of Supervisors and the Redevelopment Agency action determine
that 1) the January 23, 200 3 Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted by the Board
of Supervisors ade uately covers the Parker Avenue improvements because
there are no substantia, changes in the project, no new circumstances exist that
would create new enironmental effects, and no new information had been
presented to show any significant effects not previously covered; and 2) that the
Pinole/Hercules sewer orce main relocation and the loan agreement between the
Agency and the City of'Pinole related thereto are exempt from CEQA pursuant to
Public Resources Code Section 2100.21 and the CEQA Guidelines Section
15302(c).
And fourth, the resolutions authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to
execute documents on behalf of the County and for the Redevelopment Director
to execute documents on behalf of the Agency.

County for construction of the Parker Avenue Improvements as set forth in accordance with this
resolution and as set forth in� the Project Agreement; and 2) loan funds to the City for
construction of the Force Main Relocation in accordance with this resolution and as set forth in
the Loan Agreement.
Section 3. Pursuant to Section 33445 of the Community Redevelopment Law, the Agency is
authorized, with the consent of the County, to pay part or all of the value of the Parker Avenue
Improvements and the Force Main Relocation, by making the following findings:
1. The Board hereby finds that the facilities are publicly owned and located within the
Project Area, in th t the Parker Avenue Improvements and Force Main Relocation
projects are owned by public entities (the County and the City), located within
Resolution No. 2006/192
public rights of way, and are located within the Rodeo Redevelopment Project
Area.
2. The Board hereby finds that the Parker Avenue Improvements and Force Main
Relocation to be funded by the Agency are of benefit to the Project Area, in that
the improvements will implement specific objectives of the Redevelopment
Plan, including Objective 2, to reconstruct, pave, and realign Parker Avenue, to
construct curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, and to landscape and provide utility
improvements to public streets.
3. The Board hereby Minds that the payment of funds by the Agency pursuant to

infrastructure and public improvements, and an overall atmosphere and
appearance of neglect.
4. The Board hereby finds that there are no other reasonable means available to the
County or the City for financing the Parker Avenue Improvements and Force Main
Relocation to be funded by the Agency through the Project Agreement and the
Loan Agreement in that the construction costs for the Parker Avenue
Improvements exceed the budgeted amount because of the need to rebid work
and significant increases in the cost of essential materials, and the County has no
additional sources of unbudgeted capital improvement funds available in this fiscal
year to pay for the additional costs; and the City is required to complete the Force
Main Relocation to accommodate the Parker Avenue Improvements, but does not
have adequate funds budgeted in the current fiscal year for this unplanned cost to
fund the Force Main Relocation, and further based on the facts and analysis set
forth in the Staff Report.
5. The Board hereby(finds that the payment of funds by the Agency pursuant to the
Project Agreement and Loan Agreement is consistent with the Agency's
Implementation Plan and the Redevelopment Plan in that the both the
Implementation Plan and the Redevelopment Plan specifically contemplate
construction of thelParker Avenue Improvements, and the Force Main Relocation
is required to construct the Parker Avenue Improvements.
Section 4. No additional environmental review is needed for the approval of the Project
Agreement, in that the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Parker Avenue Improvements
adopted by the County on January 28, 2003, adequately covers the impact of the Parker
Avenue Improvements because:
1. No substantial changes have been proposed in the Parker Avenue Improvements
since certification of the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
2. No evidence has been presented regarding, nor is the County aware of, any
substantial changes in the circumstances under which the Parker Avenue
Improvements will be undertaken which would create new significant
environmental effects.
3. No new information has been presented, nor is the County aware of such
information, which would show that the Parker Avenue Improvements will have any
significant effects jot previously discussed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Section 5. No further environmental review is needed for the Loan Agreement, in that the
Force Main Relocation is part pf the Parker Avenue Improvements and is also exempt from
CEQA pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21080.21 and CEQA Guidelines
Section 15302(c)as a project ofIless than one mile in length (3,600 linear feet for the Force Main
Relocation) for the replacem nt and relocation of an underground pipeline, and CEQA
Guidelines Section 15302(c), f r the relocation and replacement of an existing utility system.
