DISCUSSION:
The Department of Public Works, Facilities & Parks is proposing the Bradley Road Scour Repair Project (Project) to repair the existing two-lane road that is classified by the California Road System (CRS) Maps as a Major Collector. Bradley Road is a two-lane road (one lane in each direction).
The Bradley Bridge crosses the Salinas River and was originally constructed in 1930. The Project is located near 0.1 miles (mi) east of Highway 101 and less than 0.8 mi north of the town of Bradley. A Caltrans scour review dated June 22, 2005, identified the Bradley Road Bridge as scour critical, indicating that the scour would erode the river bottom below the footings of Pier 19, 18, 17 and 16, and possibly to the pile tip during a major flood event.
Associated Right of Way Services, Inc. (ARWS) performed the appraisals and conducted the right-of-way negotiations for the properties. The appraisals indicate that the just compensation due as of the valuation date of January 16, 2023, was $1,000 for the TCE property owned by Orradre Ranch. The appraisals indicate that the just compensation due as of the valuation date of January 16, 2023, was $1,000 and $1,050 respectively for the TCE property owned by Porter Estate Company Bradley Ranch Inc.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of the County Counsel has reviewed and approved the proposed TCE Agreements as to form. The Auditor-Controller’s Office has reviewed the TCE Agreements as to fiscal provisions.
FINANCING:
The total estimated project cost, including engineering, environmental, right-of-way and construction is $12,033,218. The project is largely funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Bridge Program (HBP) in the amount of $ 10,376,123. The project is also funded by Toll Credits Funds ($1,344,377). There are sufficient appropriations adopted in the FY 2022-23 Road Fund 002, Appropriation Unit PFP004 budget to finance the right of way phase of the project (Measure X - $312,758).
