DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of General Services recommends that the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve a contract with Kjeldsen, Sinnock & Neudeck, Inc. (KSN) for $364,364 for civil engineering services related to sewer relocation associated with the Downtown Justice Campus Security Project; and
2. Delegate authority to the County Administrator or designee to execute the contract and any subsequent amendments, with County Counsel concurrence, and within the approved project budget.
SUMMARY:
The Downtown Justice Campus Security Project, as outlined in the County's Capital Facilities Improvement Plan, is intended to prevent unauthorized vehicle and pedestrian access to secure areas on the east side of the Justice Campus in Fairfield by adding controlled access, fencing, and gates. A key component of the project involves requesting the City of Fairfield (City) to abandon the existing right-of-way in Clay Street, to expand the County's ability to control access into and along Clay Street.
The City has indicated willingness to abandon Clay Street, provided existing public sewer easements on County property within the planned secure perimeter are addressed. Approval of the engineering services contract with KSN (Attachment A) will allow the completion of sewer relocation plans to eliminate these easements. This will facilitate the City's abandonment of Clay Street and remove potential obstacles to future development on the east side of the Justice Campus.
