CCTA —Administration & Projects Committee June 1, 2006 Subject State Route 4 (e) Widening Project — Somersville Road to SR 160 (Project 1407) — Approval of Agreement with Contra Costa County for Right of Way Acquisition Services Summary of Issues Project delivery activities for the SR 4 (e) Somersville Road to SR 160, Phase 1 Widening Project are underway, with construction targeted to begin in 2009. Approximately forty (40) parcels will be affected by the Phase 1 project. Right of way acquisition activities need to commence immediately to clear the project in time for construction. Following discussions with both Caltrans and County personnel it was determined that the County could commit staff to the project while Caltrans could not at this time. Therefore, staff has completed scope/fee discussions with the County for services on the Phase 1 project and seeks authorization for the Chair to execute an agreement with the County for acquisition services by the Real Property Division for an amount not-to-exceed $1,425,000. The scope of services under this agreement assumes negotiated acquisition or obtaining a Resolution of Necessity and Order of Possession on all parcels. Should any properties proceed to trial, work associated with supporting such condemnation efforts will be subject to an amendment to this agreement. Similarly, future close-out activities to support right of way transfer to the State will require a future amendment. Recommendations Authorize the Chair to execute an agreement with Contra Costa County for an amount not-to-exceed $1,425,000. Financial Implications Funding for this agreement is programmed as follows: • $435, 500 Measure C(Available in CCTA's 2005 Strategic Plan) . • $484,500 Federal SAFETEA-LU (Available beginning FY 2007) • $505,000 East Contra Costa Regional Fee& Financing Authority (ECCRFFA) (Available beginning FY 2008) A separate funding agreement with the ECCRFFA is forthcoming. If for some reason that agreement were not to be executed, the scope of services in the County agreement would need to be reduced until such time as sufficient funds were secured to complete the work. Options The Authority could decide not to retain the County for right-of-way acquisition services however, this could delay the delivery of the Route 4 (e) widening project, scheduled for construction start in 2009. Attachments Letter from the County, dated May 24, 2006. Changes from Committee Background \\Sharri2\my documents\04-APC Packets\2006\06-01-06\13-CountyROMune06.doc 13-1 CCTA —Administration & Projects Committee June 1, 2006 Environmental Clearance for the SR 4 (e) Widening Project: Somersville Road to State Route 160 was obtained in August 2005. Consistent with Authority direction, staff is proceeding with assembling the teams necessary to deliver Phase 1 of this project which consists of widening SR 4 to an 8-lane facility to Lone Tree Way/A Street and then widening in the existing SR 4 median to an interim 6-lane facility to Route 160. It is estimated that approximately 40 parcels will be affected by the Phase 1 project, from approximately Somersville Road to Lone Tree Way/A Street. Staff met with both Caltrans and Contra Costa County Real Property Division to discuss provision of acquisition services to meet a construction start date of 2009. Caltrans indicated that it did not have adequate staff resources at this time, but would like to be considered for any subsequent phases. County staff indicated they could provide the services and subsequently, submitted a cost proposal, for an amount not-to-exceed $1,425,000. Services to be provided by the County include: 1) General administration of all acquisition activities 2) Appraisals 3) Negotiations, 4) Processing Resolution of Necessity Hearing and obtaining Orders of Possession 5) Relocation assistance 6) Demolition 7) Property management and 8) Sale of surplus property Estimating the cost of right-of-way acquisition services is inherently difficult, because it is impossible to predict which parcels—if any—will proceed through condemnation to a court trial. Therefore, the scope of services is limited to acquisition through negotiated settlements or through a Resolution of Necessity and subsequent Order of Possession. Should any properties proceed to trial, work associated with supporting this effort will be subject to an amendment to the County agreement. Similarly, work associated with project close-out activities to support right of way transfer to the State will also be subject to an amendment. The overall project funding plan has set aside funds for both of these activities. Based on experiences with current and prior contracts with the County for similar services, an extensive review of the County's overhead rate was performed earlier this year. Based on the results of this review, the County has modified its overhead charges to the Authority. The County will invoice for services under this agreement, consistent with the new rates. This contract will be funded by Measure C (approx. $435,500), Federal SAFETEA-LU (approx. 5484,500) and East Contra Costa Regional Fee & Financing Authority(ECCRFFA). Funding from ECCRFFA is anticipated to be available starting in FY 2008 and is subject to execution of a funding agreement. Should this agreement not be executed, the scope of services under this contract would need to be reduced until sufficient funding is secured. \\Sharri2\my documents\04-APC Pack ets',2006\06-01-06\13-CountyROWJune06.doc 13-2 Contra Public Works Department Public or sDi Public Works Director Costa 255 Glacier Drive R.Mitch Avalon Count Martinez, CA 94553-4825 Deputy Director Y Telephone: (925) 313-2000 Julia R.Bueren FAX: (925) 313-2333 Deputy Director Web site:www.co.contra-costa.ca.us/depart/pw Patricia R.McNamee Deputy Director May 24, 2006 Paul F. Maxwell Contra Costa County Transportation Authority 3478 Buskirk Ave. Suite 100 Pleasant Hill, CA 94523 RP-Proposal and Cost Estimate for Right of Way Services SR4 Sommersville Road to 160 Dear Mr. Maxwell: Contra Costa County Real Property Division is pleased to provide a cost estimate and scope of services for various right of way services to be provided to the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) for the State Highway 4 Sommersville Road to 160, Phase I Project. The Phase I Project's ultimate highway widening ends west of A Street. Therefore, our services described herein are limited to west of A Street. I have also included a tentative project schedule and spreadsheet that identify the right of way needs as we understand them today. This proposal is based on preliminary information that was provided to us by Nolte and CCTA staff. It appears that approximately 40 properties will be impacted by some type of right of way acquisition. The Real Property Division has been providing right of way services to CCTA and other agencies for various highway projects for more than 17 years. The division has the experience and skills, and has demonstrated the ability to successfully deliver these services in a timely and effective manner under very aggressive construction schedules. We have met or exceeded those schedule expectations in every instance. All work performed is in compliance with all State and Federal laws, the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act, and local procedures. We also follow Caltrans District 4 processes that facilitate the successful review and ultimate transfer of right of way. Our division has unique expertise and qualifications. First, the division is certified by the State of California as a level 3 certified agency. This certification qualifies us to perfonn and review all the technical work for every right of way function without Caltrans direct oversight or approvals. This is a tremendous advantage in being able to streamline processes and accelerate right of way schedules. Second, the division has developed expertise in disciplines such as environmental assessment review and demolition. Third, we have direct and immediate access to legal counsel familiar with the state highway projects and eminent domain proceedings. Fourth, there are a number of other county divisions/departments that can support and immediately react on various issues that arise during the course of a project. An example is our Maintenance Division, which secures vacant buildings and cleans up sites where illegal dumping occurs. This project will require the involvement of several members of the Real Property.staff. As the Principal Real Property Agent, I will be designated as project manager for right of way services. I am supported by trained staff members who will assist me, and, in some cases, lead all necessary right of way activities. The scope of services and cost estimate assume having to obtain a Resolution of Necessity and Order of Possession on approximately half of the 31 property owners. If properties proceed to trial, we may need to amend our contract to cover the time and effort associated with an eminent domain trial. We look forward to continuing our long and successful relationship, which has brought much needed major transportation improvements to Contra Costa County. If you have any questions, please contact me at (925) 313-2228. Very y yours, aren A.

Administration (RPA) — A category of duties that cover the general project management for right of way. These services include: a) Developing and monitoring right of way project schedule; b) Obtaining and reviewing title reports; c) Working with design team to develop property rights needs; d) Attending regularly scheduled trend/staff meetings; e) Attending and making presentations at public meetings, if necessary; Soliciting consultants for appraisal and relocation services. Because of the business impacts, it is likely that, in addition to a real estate appraiser, we will need a goodwill appraiser and furniture, fixtures and equipment appraiser; -1) Selecting consultants, administer contracts and process payments. h) Setting up individual acquisition files for each parcel; 1) Investigating ownerships, easements and title concerns; J Assisting in the preparation of R/W Certifications for submittal to Caltrans; k) Processing tax bill payments-, 1) Providing status reports; and m) Transfer to state, 2. Valuation (R-PV)—The preparation and review of appraisals for 40 properties held under 31 different ownerships. The appraisals will be in conformance with state standards. A combination of Real Property staff and consultants (MAI designated appraisers) would most likely be used. In addition to Real Estate appraisers, it will be necessary to hire a Goodwill appraiser, and possib)),a Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E) appraiser to deal with the impacts on four businesses. These services include: a) Preparing and mailing Letters of Invitation to appraise; Z:) b) Providing technical information to appraisers; c) Acting as liaison between appraisers and design/engineering team, and d) Reviewing and approving appraisals. 3. Negotiations (RPN) — Real Property agents will be assigned a varying number of the 40 parcels according to the complexity of the appraisal/acquisition issues. They will report twice a month to the Principal to update the status of negotiations. Duties include: a) Review of title reports, appraisals, legal descriptions, maps and other documents in sufficient detail in preparation for negotiations; b) Maintaining a complete acquisition file on each property assigned; Page 1 of 3 c) Preparing appraisal summary statements, deeds, easements and right of way contracts; d) Initiating contact with property owner(s) or their representative to present written offer. Conducting negotiations and following up with property owners as necessary to arrive at a mutually agreeable settlement; e) Acting as a liaison with appraisers, relocations consultants and CCTA staff, f) Utilizing legal counsel where necessary in development of final agreements; and g) Advising Principal as to necessity of eminent domain action. 4. Condemnation (RPC)— In cases where an eminent domain action'is necessary in order to secure the right of way for project construction Real Property will lead the process to obtain orders of possession. Real Property has worked closely with County Counsel to expedite this process so that certification and construction schedules can be met. For the purposes of this proposal I have assumed that approximately half of 31 property owners will require us to proceed with a Resolution of Necessity Hearing and obtain Orders of Possession. Services outlined here do not include costs and work required after the Order of Possession. Services will include: a) Identifying and locating all parties to the action; b) Adoption of Resolution of Necessity by County Board of Supervisors, c) Preparing condemnation packages and exhibits for County Counsel; and d) Service of Order for Immediate Possession to all parties 5. Relocation (RPR) — It appears that there are 2 to 4 business relocations that will be necessary for this phase of the project. To complete these relocations, we will secure the services of a relocation consultant to complete a relocation impact study in advance of the project and to provide relocation services to the displaced businesses. Services will include: a) Reviewing and approving the relocation impact study; b) Reviewing and approving all relocation claims; c) Processing claims for payment; d) Providing oversight and input to consultant; and e) Acting as liaison between consultant and CCTA staff. 6. Demolition (RPD) — If requested,we would secure the services of a demolition contractor and hazardous material consultants for the removal of 2 to 4 structures, improvements, and potential remedial clean up of the sites. This work would include: a) Preparation of a scope of work for demolition', b) Preparation of a scope of work for hazardous material clean up; c) Solicitation of bids; d) Awarding contracts and obtain necessary documents and approvals; Page 2of3 e) Coordinating with utilities for disconnections; Processing payments; and f) Working with field representative designated by CCTA for contract compliance and completion. 7. Property Management (RPM)—Property management issues arise on parcels that are owned or under possession of the public agency. Real Property has at its disposal the Maintenance Division, General Services department and contractors to promptly respond to the various issues that arise. The most common items are: a) Security of buildings prior to demolition; b) Removal of illegal dumping on sites; c) Weed abatement; and d) Payment and cancellation of taxes. 8. Surplus (RPS) - Portions of properties not needed for the transfer to the State may be viable for disposal as surplus to generate income for the Authority. We are able to provide the services for the disposal of property by various scenarios including public auction, direct sale to private individual, direct sale to public agency, and exchange. The initial review indicates that there may be portions of 2-4 parcels that could be considered surplus.
