Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Approve and authorize the Contracts/Purchasing Officer to execute and record an Easement Relocation Agreement between County of Monterey and Pacific Gas and Electric Company, to modify the location of existing right of way and easement at 855 East Laurel Drive, Salinas, California, as set forth in Attachment A.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Emergency Shelter at 855 East Laurel Drive in Salinas is presently in the construction phase. The scope of work includes construction of a 16,000-foot pre-manufactured building and related site work, utilities infrastructure, foundations, landscaping, and interior improvements.
The Easement Relocation Agreement (Agreement), in Attachment A, modifies the original easement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for underground electrical service, granted January 29, 1980 (Attachment B), and specifically addresses existing and new electrical service to the County parcel. PG&E has worked closely with County of Monterey for the timely installation of new natural gas and electric service at the site of the Emergency Shelter.
The Agreement makes minor corrections to small segments of the original 1980 easement. The 1980 easement was presumably drafted in advance of mid-seventies construction of the County Public Works Yard and the Mission Trails Regional Occupation Program (ROP) facility, and electrical service was installed in a slightly different location than was planned and mapped. Any discrepancy was likely considered immaterial at the time because the intent of the easement document remained clear. The original easement would still be sufficient for the existing facilities. However, since new electrical service is now going to be added for the Emergency Shelter, it presents a good opportunity to make corrections at these locations.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of the County Counsel-Risk Manager has reviewed and approved the Easement Relocation Agreement document as to form. PG&E and Resource Management Agency (RMA) staff coordinated to draft and finalize the Agreement and supporting documents.
FINANCING:
There is no impact to the General Fund for the execution of the Agreement.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
Provision of safe accommodation afforded by a permanent Emergency Shelter relates to the Infrastructure, Health and Human Services, and Public Safety Strategic Initiatives adopted by the Board of Supervisors by supporting the goals of improving health and quality of life outcomes for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
