SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF EASEMENT AGREEMENTS (2) FOR
SEAL BEACH BOULEVARD AND I -405
INTERCHANGE PROJECT, PROJECT No. 49750
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will adopt Resolution No. and authorize the City
Mana execute the agreement with Equity Office Properties for the acquisition of the
emporary construction easements for the Seal Beach Blvd. and I -405 Interchange
Project, Project No.49750.
BACKGROUND:
In May of 2003, the City obtained Caltrans approval for the Project Study Report/Project
Report (PSR/PR) for the Seal Beach Boulevard and Interstate 405 Bridge Approach
Widening Project No. 49750. This project report identifies the first phase of the project
that will widen the existing exit ramps to provide for an additional right turn lane, widen
the ramp intersections to provide dual left turn lanes, and widen the I -405 over crossing
approaches. This phase will prevent both the North and South intersections of I -405 &
Seal Beach Blvd. from reaching a level of service (LOS) F in 2025. The current LOS at
the existing intersections is C/D and the proposed improvement will improve traffic flow
to a LOS of B /C.
In June of 2004, RBF was selected as the design firm to deliver the proposed project by
Spring of 2005, and is now completing final comments and permit requirements. The
proposed project includes widening the intersections, signal improvements, restriping the
pavement, adding new turn pockets, and new concrete work including curb ramps, curb
and gutter, and sidewalk. Widening of the bridge will occur on a future project, as agreed
with Caltrans and OCTA.
The proposed project also requires the acquisition of temporary construction easements at
two locations, both owned by the same property owner. RBF retained the services of a
consultant, Overland, Pacific, & Cutler, to handle the acquisition and documentation
process for the City. A letter of offer and agreement was created and sent to the property
Agenda Item it' `
owner in April 2005. The agreement was accepted and is now subject to approval by City
Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for the purchase of the temporary construction easements are available within the
Project No. 49750 account, per the approved Capital Improvement Program. The
estimated cost of the total project is $4.2 million, which is funded by OCTA secured
grants and traffic impact fees from the Bixby Development. No additional work will be
performed unless adequate funding is available in the project budget. Any funds
remaining at the end of this phase of the project will be used for the next phase of the
project.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. and authorize the
City Manager to execute the agreement with Equity Office Properties for the acquisition
of the temporary construction easements for the Seal Beach Blvd and I -405 Interchange
Project, Project No.49750.
