Originally, we anticipated needing more than 10 TCE's for the project; however, after close examination we find that only one is needed to replace a driveway and conform to the existing private property area. The referenced project is federally funded such that we need to comply with specific right of way procedures. We hired Bender Rosenthal, Inc. (BRI) to prepare the documents and administer the negotiation process with the property owner. We also utilized Ben Stock as the City's Legal Counsel to review the attached agreement and assist with the acquisition of the TCE. The attached documents labeled "Temporary Construction Easement Agreement" and memo for "Approval to Commence Negotiations" were prepared by BRI and are required for the process. The TCE agreement provides language needed for the property owner to grant the City a "Right to Enter" and construct a driveway approach in conjunction with the referenced project. This document requires a signatory from a City Official, which should be the City manager and Attest signature from the Clerk and a signature from the City Attorney. The "Approval to Commence Negotiations" authorizes BRI to negotiate a price for the easement. This document is required as part of the Caltrans right of way certification process for federally funded projects. BRI assessed a fair market value for this easement at $5,000. Please initial below and we will forward this to the City Attorney, City Manager and City Clerk for signature. �r- Bill Guerin, Public Works Director CITY OF SAN RAFAEL 1 ...
