Background
The Silver Fork Road at South Fork American River Bridge was built in 1953 and is located in Kyburz, California approximately 0.1 miles southeast of Highway 50. The existing bridge is approximately 60 feet long and 24 feet wide. The bridge was classified as structurally deficient per a Caltrans Bridge inspection report dated August 15, 2011. The sufficiency rating of the structure is 64 out of 100, which qualifies the bridge for rehabilitation in accordance with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidelines.
The Silver Fork Road at South Fork American River - Bridge Replacement Project, CIP No. 77124 (Project) includes replacement or rehabilitation of the bridge, potential widening, and improvements at the bridge approaches. Due to the lack of an acceptable alternative route, construction is planned for two construction seasons 2015/2016 & 2016/2017 to rebuild or replace the bridge one lane per season.
Sycamore Environmental Consultants, Inc. is currently preparing a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the CEQA requirements for this project.
Reason for Recommendation
The research of all potentially affected parcels and the acquisition of portions of these parcels are necessary from the subject owner(s) to enable construction of the Project improvements. The County will need to purchase Temporary Construction Easements and/or permanent easements from adjacent parcel owners for the project. In order for the Transportation Division to research title document records and prepare for negotiations with parcel owners, the Division is requesting authorization from the Board to proceed with the acquisition process, including ordering and payment of title reports and certified appraisals for the land rights to be acquired on the listed parcels.
Following Board approval, the Division will proceed with the acquisition process for the subject parcels referenced herein, including ordering and payment of title reports and certified appraisals for the portions of the subject parcels necessary to construct the Project.
