Interchange, work will proceed to complete the steps to finalize the transfer of the right-of-way for the remaining interchanges. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: BACKGROUND Between 1988 and 1992, the North Pleasanton Improvement District (NPID) No.3 acquired right-of-way for the construction of interchange improvements on Interstate 580 and Interstate 680. The right-of-way was for the construction of new interchanges at Stoneridge Drive and Hacienda Drive and for the modification of the interchanges at Hopyard Road and Santa Rita Road. The acquisition of the right-of-way was completed in strict conformance with the then Caltrans requirements. After the property was acquired, specific maps, deeds and a Record of Survey were prepared for the property transfer to the State. These documents were given to Caltrans in 1996 for their review. Upon review, they rejected the documents because their standards for submittal had changed. The City prepared new documents and submitted them again in 1997. Preliminary review by Caltrans was not completed until April, 1998. In August, 1998, the City prepared and submitted a completed draft package to Caltrans. In September, 1999, Caltrans advised the City that the documents were correct. The review in September required a right-of- way record map prepared to their standards. They assured the City that they were anxious to accept the right-of-way, and that upon completion of the documents they would accept the right- of-way. The City Council on October 5, 1999, approved a consultant agreement with CH2MHill for an amount not-to-exceed $94,000 to prepare the required right-of-way record maps in Caltrans' format for the Hacienda Drive, Hopyard Road, Santa Rita Road Interchanges on 1-580 and the Stoneridge Drive Interchange on 1-680, and performance of necessary closure calculations. Since 1999, we have continued to work with Caltrans in an effort to have the right-of-way accepted for the four interchanges. Due of a lack of success in working with Caltrans to transfer the right-of-way, on April 15, 2003, the City Council approved an amendment to the agreement with CH2MHill because the funds had been exhausted from their previous agreement, and an agreement with Cordoba Consulting was approved to provide project management services on the NPID interchange projects. To assure additional funds were not spent without a clear end in sight, we proceeded with phasing the acceptance of the right-of-way for the four interchanges beginning with Hacienda Drive. Hacienda Drive was the closest of the four interchanges to satisfying Caltrans requirements for the right-of-way. The planned approach was to use the success of Hacienda Drive as the model for how to complete the process for the three other interchanges. SR 06:018 Page 2 of 3
