Agenda Report
TO: The Honorable City Council 9 1 �
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 19, 2004 (Council Meeting 3 -3 -04)
SUBJECT: Right -of -Way Acquisition for New Los Angeles Avenue
Bridge Widening Project
DISCUSSION
A. Background
The construction of the New Los Angeles Avenue Bridge Widening
Project was completed in the Spring of 2002. In May of 2002 the
City Council accepted the work as complete and authorized the
recordation of the Notice of Completion.
B. Right -of -Way Needs
As mentioned in the May 2002 staff report, it was necessary to
acquire a small piece [190 sf] of street right -of -way from the
shopping center property to accommodate the sidewalk which was
constructed on the south side of the highway immediately west
of the bridge. This requirement was discovered shortly after
the construction contract was awarded. In order to not delay
construction, a Right -of -Entry Permit was obtained from the
property owner to allow construction to proceed concurrently
with right -of -way acquisition efforts. At the time the Notice
of Completion was approved by the City Council, the City
(through its property acquisition agent) was still negotiating
the acquisition of the project.
C. Right-of-Wav Acquisition
The subject property was eventually acquired, in fee, from the
property owner for $2,280. Total acquisition costs, including
title work, engineering, and professional services, was $7,318.

D. Riaht -of -Wav Acceptance
Although the above mentioned acquisition efforts were mentioned
in the May 2002 staff report, staff did not ask, at that time,
that the subject right -of -way be accepted by the City Council
and the related deed recorded upon execution of the deed by the
seller.
Subsequently the deed was executed and acquisition costs were
paid. It is now appropriate to accept and record the deed.
E. Riaht -of -Wav Convevance
In that the sidewalk should be part of the highway right -of-
way, it is the intent of staff to convey the subject property
to Caltrans.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Clerk to record the deed for the subject right -
of -way and the related Certificate of Acceptance and authorize
said property to be conveyed to the State of California [ Caltrans]
and for the Mayor and staff to execute all documents related to
that conveyance.
