FROM:

Paul T. Scannell, Assistant County Manager

SUBJECT:

New Professional Services Agreement with the City of

Pacifica for the proposed Highway 1/Calera Parkway Auxiliary Lane Improvement Project

Recommendation
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the President to execute a new Professional Services Agreement with the City of Pacifica for provision of right-of-way appraisal and acquisition services for the City of Pacifica's proposed Highway 1/Calera Parkway Auxiliary Lane Improvement Project.

Background
The City of Pacifica proposes to construct certain road improvements at the intersection of Highway 1 and Calera Parkway. The project would require acquisition of portions of an estimated 6 parcels. The original agreement was dated July 25, 2000 and has expired as the project was delayed over environmental issues. The City has requested the Real Property Services Division's assistance to acquire the property for the proposed project, which the City intends to move forward as soon as possible.

Discussion
The Agreement provides for the County to perform and/or contract for the right-of-way acquisition activities. The services are to be provided in accordance with all applicable State and Federal acquisition laws and procedures.

Vision Alignment

The Amended Agreement keeps the commitment of responsible, effective and collaborative government and goal number 21: County employees understand, support and integrate the County vision and goals into their delivery of service. The Amended Agreement contributes to this commitment and goal through the provision of professional services to the City of Pacifica.

Fiscal Impact
There is no County cost as the City will reimburse the County for staff time and contract services.
