RECOMMENDATION

Approve and authorize the Chairman to sign an agreement with Dokken Engineering in an amount not to exceed $32,111.70 to provide right-of-way services for the Gas Point Road at No Name Ditch Box Culvert Replacement Project effective June 25, 2018, and ending June 28, 2019.

SUMMARY

Consulting services are proposed to acquire right-of-way for a culvert replacement project along Gas Point Road.

DISCUSSION

Gas Point Road is a narrow arterial.  Federal funds have been secured to replace and lengthen a box culvert near Charles Street.  The culvert is at the end of a current widening project.  Right of way was acquired for that project and additional acquisitions will be required for the culvert.  On March 13, 2018, the County issued a request for proposals (RFP) for right-of way appraisal and acquisition services.  Proposals were solicited from five consultants who responded to a similar RFP for the adjoining project.  On March 31, 2018, four proposals were received and evaluated. Dokken Engineering provided right-of-way services on the adjoining project. They were selected as the most qualified candidate for the culvert project as well.

ALTERNATIVES

The Board may decline to enter into the proposed agreement.  The Board may direct staff to re-issue the RFP, proceed by force account or shelve the project.  Dokken Engineering performed well on the adjoining project.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

Caltrans oversees the project funding.  County Counsel has approved the agreement as to form.  Risk Management has reviewed and approved the agreement.  The recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office.

FINANCING

The total project cost estimate is $1,200,000.  Federal funds will cover 88.53%.  Adequate funds are included in the Adopted FY 2017/18 Roads budget.  There is no General Fund impact.
