Thompson, Public Works Director ATTACHMENTS: 1) Resolution, along with Replacement Freeway Maintenance Agreement 2) Freeway Maintenance Agreement dated November 19, 2002 RECOMMENDATION: FINANCIAL STATE~NT -'~ Adopt resolution approving the replacement Freeway Maintenance Agreement This replacement Freeway Maintenance Agreement will require Dublin to maintain recently-installed landscaping on Tassajara Road located within the Caltrans right-of-way. MCE will maintain this new landscaping under the City's present maintenance contract. Sufficient funds have been budgeted to maintain the landscaping in Fiscal Year 2003-2004. · It is estimated that the annual cost of median landscape maintenance will be $1,500 per year, and the cost for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2003-2004 will be $875. DESCRIPTION: On November 24, 1999, an agreement was executed between the City of Dublin and Caltrans which delegated Caltrans' obligation to the City to maintain landscaping in Caltrans right-of-way along 1-580. The agreement also authorized the City to delegate, in turn, that obligation to developers along 1-580 which were required to landscape property fronting the 1-580 freeway within Caltrans right-of-way. As required by a Condition of Approval for the Koll development, a landscape maintenance agreement was entered into between Dublin and Koll on November 6, 2001, which re-delegated the City's maintenance responsibility to Koll. During construction of the I-580/Tassaj ara Road Interchange Improvement project, the City requested that Caltrans approve the installation of the originally designed freeway landscaping. Caltrans agreed, with the provision that a maintenance agreement be executed between Caltrans and Dublin. The City Council subsequently approved a Freeway Maintenance Agreement with Caltrans on November 19, 2002. COPIES TO: G:kMISCPROJ',I-580-Tassajara\Agst Caltrans Freeway Maint Agmt-Median Landscape.doc ITEM NO. The City subsequently added landscaping to the Tassajara Road median located within Caltrans right-of- way as part of the 1-580/Tassajara Road Interchange Improvement project, and Caltrans declined to approve the 2002 Freeway Maintenance Agreement until the modification for the new proposed landscaping could be added. The Freeway Maintenance Agreement previously approved by the City Council in 2002 is now being replaced with a modified agreement to add the Tassajara Road median landscaping to Dublin's maintenance responsibility. Under the provisions of this replacement Agreement with Caltrans, Dublin will be responsible for maintenance of the landscaping in the Tassajara Road median, and for the landscaping along the Koll Business Center frontage, which will in turn be maintained by Koll. The City's maintenance forces (MCE) will maintain the median landscaping, while Koll will still maintain the landscaping along the Koll property. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the amendment to the Freeway Maintenance Agreement with Caltrans.
