Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve a Utility Agreement (No. 06-1398.15) with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in substantially the form attached and presented, for Caltrans to relocate City water and sewer utilities associated with the State Route 99 Relocation Project and to reimburse City staff in the amount of $112,500.00 for wet tie connections to the City water system and authorize the Public Works Director or his designee to sign the agreement on behalf of the City of Fresno.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Caltrans is developing project documents to relocate a section of State Route 99, between Clinton Avenue and Ashlan Avenue in order to make room for the future High Speed Rail Project. Through the engineering design process, Caltrans has identified several City utilities that are in conflict with the proposed improvements and will need to be relocated with the City streets. The newly constructed water main facilities will require City staff to perform wet tie connections in order to put the new facilities into service. City staff and Caltrans have come to an agreement for Caltrans to reimburse the City for all wet tie connection costs for this work.
