RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Post, Buckley, Schuh, and Jernigan, Inc. (PBS&J) not to exceed an amount of $250,000 to provide "On-Call" environmental consulting services, for the period May 1, 2009 through May, 2012. Project No.: Various

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the County General Fund. This project is funded by 48% Flood Control & Water Conservation District, 48% Local Road, 4% Airport Project.

BACKGROUND:

The “on-call” contract is needed to assist Public Works Department staff by providing “on-call” environmental assessment including acoustics, arboriculture, cultural, biological(botanical, fisheries, wildlife), mitigation and restoration design, and wetland delineation assessments and environmental clearances associated with Flood Control, Road, and Airport projects.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On March 30, 2009, Contra Costa County Risk Management confirmed that the certificate of liability insurance and insurance requirements was met for this contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the “on-call” contract is not approved, various flood control, road, and airport projects will not obtain environmental clearances, which may cause delays in their construction or repair.
