Adopt a resolution which adopts a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) determination of a Mitigated Negative Declaration subject to the findings set forth in the proposed resolution for the "Cassel-Fall River Road at Pit River Bridge Replacement Project,” Contract No. 703919. |
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
A CEQA determination is proposed for the Cassel-Fall River Road Bridge Replacement Project. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The Cassel-Fall River Road at Pit River Bridge is in Fall River Mills. The existing five span concrete structure was constructed in 1922. The bridge is being replaced through the federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP). A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is proposed based on the Initial Study (attached). There was a 30-day public comment period. Responses to comments are included at the back of the MND. |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board may decline to make the CEQA findings at this time. The existing bridge would remain. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
Caltrans oversees project funding. County Counsel has approved the resolution as to form. The County Administrative Office has reviewed this recommendation. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
The total cost of the bridge replacement project is estimated to be $7,800,000. The bridge is eligible for 88.53% federal funding. The remaining match will be provided from the road fund. Adequate funds were included in the Adopted 2018/19 Roads budget. There is no General Fund impact. |
